storm damage

[Innkeeper]

Well might need my chain saw sooner than later (joke ). But jus a quick question we have a tree that sort of forks about 10ft up half going one way the other the other way. In the winds we have had half blew down luckey into a garden. The thing is, is the other half now more likely to blow down this could go in to a road or the Inn. Will try and post pic.

A photo of the remaining canopy would be a help.

It will depend on where all the weight is, prevailing winds and the extent of damage caused by the failure - to name but a few.

 

Maybe a piccie of the other side of the tree, showing the damage.

I suspect you will get lots of good advice.

 

Also, where are you ?

Just had another look at that tree will get some one to cut it down. Better safe than sorry

It will be weakened but not necessarily by so much that it needs removal. I suggest your first move should be to have it assessed by a good arborist.

 

In assessing trees, the first thing we are taught to look at is the target; that is, what the tree will fall on if it does fall. If that's something of high value to you, then certainly get it sorted.
