Heavy winds and storms any time of the year often result in blown-over trees. A tree blows over in strong winds when its roots system is not established well enough to anchor it. Some tree types, because of their natural root layout, are more susceptible to blowing over than others. Whether or not blown-over trees can survive depends on the extent of damage caused to the roots when the tree fell. However, even trees with severely damaged roots have a good chance of survival if you replant them within a few hours of being uprooted.
Assessing Damage
Trees that are most susceptible to being blown over include very young trees and trees that have constricted or shallow root systems. Slightly to moderately damaged trees respond best to corrective strategies. Trees that have their roots severely impaired, severed or damaged have less chance of surviving and are best removed entirely. The easiest way to determine the level of damage to a tree is by counting the number of fractured roots and noting their sizes. Trees with more root stubs are going to be more severely affected than those with fewer.
