Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees
Despite the fact they’re often taken as being strong and eternal, trees can certainly become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.
How many times following strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also may result in expensive repair work.
The most difficult decision after a storm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty straightforward. The tougher decision is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing can be saved.
Various trees that have been partially damaged in the storm may present a potential future hazard and might need to be cut down and took out to avoid putting people & property in danger in months or even years ahead.
Some other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked with guy ropes or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction teams access to the building to begin repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage
Every one of these types of damage creates a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that can separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.
There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t normally stand up to:
- Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to bend violently even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack underneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
- Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The complete crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
- Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially higher danger to drop despite the fact that it got through the original storm.
