Different Kinds Of Storm Damage
Each one of these kinds of problem leads to a varied prognosis 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 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 signifies that the roots also snapped.
There are essentially six sorts of storm damage which a tree can not 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, resulting in the trees crown to fall or angle strongly whilst the lower section stays standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break beneath the earth, leading to the tree bending 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 highly lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a storm, 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 standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary 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 substantially greater danger to drop despite the fact that it survived the initial storm.
