Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that may well separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.
There are essentially six sorts of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:

- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to angle violently whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break beneath the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
- Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
