Has your tree been damaged in a storm? Storm-damaged trees can be extremely dangerous, so it is important to call in a professional arborist to inspect and manage the tree for you.

Storms can not only break tree limbs, they can uproot entire trees, wash away soil and expose root systems – meaning the stability of the tree is significantly compromised.

Large branches can be left overhanging houses, roads and powerlines, posing serious risk to people and property.

Here are some important reasons why you should use a professional arborist to inspect and manage your storm-damaged trees.


Getting to the root of the problem 

There may be an underlying reason why your tree was impacted by the storm, such as interior decay, disease and insect infestations or soil composition.

An arborist will take a holistic approach and identify any issues that may have made your tree more susceptible to storm damage.

This information will help guide you to make a decision on whether it is best to keep or remove the tree.

 

Protecting what is left of your tree

Professional arborists are fully trained to remove damaged branches safely and to ensure no more damage is done to the tree during the process.

An arborist will be able to prune small and large branches in a way that gives the remaining tree the best shot at survival.

If you would like to keep the tree, it is essential to take good care of the remaining non-damaged branches, as these will play a key role in its survival. 

Using a professional arborist could be the difference between saving your tree and losing it unnecessarily.

 

Tree recovery, survival and resilience

 Ongoing care for parts of the tree that are not affected by the storm will help ensure your tree’s recovery and survival.

 An arborist will determine if the tree needs any additional pruning or cabling to support the longevity of the tree.

The storm may have interfered with the wind dynamics of the tree. A professional arborist will be able to identify the impact and help minimise the likelihood of your tree suffering storm damage again.

Pruning for tree health focuses on cutting off dead, diseased, and dying branches and branches that rub together. Pruning can also be used to nurture trees to develop a strong structure and lessen the likelihood of damage during harsh weather.

Reasons Why Soil Management Is Important For Trees

By Kimberly Romero • 23 Mar, 2022
The soil supports most living organisms, being the top source of their mineral nutrients. Good soil management guarantees that mineral elements do not become toxic or deficient to crops, plants, and trees. Soil management is essential to trees, environmental sustainability, productivity, and human health, so It’s crucial to know what’s happening beneath the ground. Cultivating the right soil type will make trees grow and live longer, even in urban locations with less room for them to thrive.
