Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees
Even though they’re typically considered as being solid and everlasting, trees can end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.
How many times following strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also may result in expensive renovations.
The toughest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty easy. The tougher choice is whether any of the trees left upright are salvageable.
Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm might pose a future hazard and may have to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing people & property at risk in several months or even years to come.
Other trees could be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged parts being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others might require to be staked with guy cables or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.
If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to clear away the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies access to the property to start repair work on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage
Every one of these sorts of damage leads to a different prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to overlook a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.
There are essentially six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t typically sustain:
- Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to come down or to bend violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break under the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
- Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown ultimately transforms into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
- Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a considerably higher danger to drop even though it made it through the original windstorm.
