Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained individuals should not attempt to deal with a fallen tree as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re usually taken as being really durable and eternal, trees can certainly end up being at risk in adverse weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Violent storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally may result in costly renovations.

The toughest option following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The harder decision is whether or not any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately harmed in the storm might pose a potential future risk and may need to be disassembled and took out to avoid placing people and property in danger in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to get staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage creates an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the crown to come down or lean violently even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break beneath the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The complete crown ultimately becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially higher risk to drop even if it endured the initial storm.
