Various Kinds Of Storm Damage
All of these kinds of problem leads to a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to overlook a small detail that might separate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.
There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:
- Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the trees crown to come down or to sag violently whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break beneath the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
- 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 split, 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, turning 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 standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary 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 even though it made it through the initial windstorm.
