Storms in all shapes and forms create havoc with trees throughout the country. It’s bad enough losing a big tree, but the greatest danger in a storm is the property damage and casualties that can occur when big trees fall. Preparing trees for these natural disasters is a must and should be done well in advance of the stormy season. To help ease these dangers, have a professional arborist evaluate your trees. Doing this will help you determine potential weaknesses and dangers.

Dead lower leaves are easily removed by simply pressing down at the base while supporting the base of the plant with your other hand. Leaves that have become mostly yellow or crispy brown need to be removed from the plant. This can usually be done easily by putting your thumb on top of the leaf close to the plant, and while supporting the plant just above the leaf with your other hand, pushing down gently and with care, don't force it.

If you suspect or can see storm damage to your tree, you should get a tree care professional to assess the damage. If the tree does possess hazards, such as broken, hanging limbs, or a split branch union (sometimes called a branch fork) you should have your tree care company do an assessment. This is important because you could be held liable if the hazard branch or tree falls and damages property or causes personal injury.

Macadamias love water. They came from the tropical rainforests in Australia. If you don't know what your problem is with macadamias, it is probably not enough water. Sometimes, if only the tips turn brown, you could have a problem with over-fertilization; don't fertilize a young tree.

Homeowners insurance generally does not cover damage to trees or the removal of tree debris from the property. If a tree has fallen on your home and caused damage, however, we will pay to cut away that part of the tree so repairs can be made; most policies will also pay up to $500 for removing that part of the tree from the property. Check your policy for specific coverage. Report the claim to your insurance company. Since the cause of damage was an act of nature, your insurance policy applies.

If a tree that is protected by TPO or a Conservation Area suffers storm damage, you may carry out what ever work is necessary to make it safe without delay. The work must be the minimum required to make the tree safe and any additional work will require an application to the Council. You must inform the Council at the first opportunity if you have carried out work on a damaged protected tree, or if a protected tree has been blown down in your garden.

That depends on the amount of damage. First, an assessment needs to be done. This will help determine if the health and safety of the tree has been compromised. The arborist can also make recommendations on how to proceed. Pruning and installing cabling and bracing are two alternatives. You also should keep the tree healthy by providing irrigation and fertilization if needed.

Responsibility for trees is that of the owner of the land upon which they are growing. If there is concern about the safety of trees, it is recommended that they be inspected as soon as possible by a local tree contractor or consultant.

In extreme circumstances, the Council may use the Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1976 to require the owners of dangerous trees to make them safe.

Public safety is paramount. If the Council's Tree Officers consider the tree to be dangerous, they will recommend an appropriate course of action. Please note: A tree is not necessarily considered dangerous due to its height and spread, or indeed, that it moves in the wind.

They have both the 4" round capped ones, usually used on the heater vents, and the long oval one, usually used on the refer's. Both have storm collars, made of aluminum and look much like the ones from the 1950’s, only now made in Mexico.

Yes, trees often are wounded by careless use of yard equipment like lawn mowers, weed whips, and other trimming equipment. These injuries cut through important vascular tissue just inside the bark, which can lead to decay and ultimately death of the tree. A bed of mulch around the tree eliminates the need to trim or mow close to the tree's base. Extreme care should be taken when digging up or tilling the soil under a tree.

The short answer is yes, some damage will occur. The extent depends on the severity of the lightning strike. Lightning damage to trees often is more serious than its outward appearance. You may notice a strip of bark running from near the top of the tree to the soil, appearing as if it were torn or burnt away. There could be shattered branches, limbs, or even parts of the trunk, appearing as though they were dislodged by an explosion.

In most cases no, repairs can often be made without removal of the tree. However, there are some instances when the growing space is just too small for the size of the tree and it would be better to remove and replace the tree with a less aggressive species. In other cases, if too many large roots need to be severed to make the repairs and the tree’s stability is in jeopardy, removal will be recommended.

Do not be tempted to use a chainsaw to fell or cut up damaged trees unless you are experienced and have the appropriate protective clothing. Every year approximately 500 people are seriously injured using chainsaws in their gardens.

Before employing a tree surgeon you should check that they are insured for both public and employee liability insurance.
