Various Types Of Storm Damage
All of these kinds of damage creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to miss a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing 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 endure:
- Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the crown to come down or to bend strongly even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear beneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
- Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much greater danger to drop even though it survived the initial windstorm.
