The State Emergency Services were called to clear away branches blocking the road in the city about 7pm on February 23.
Warrnambool SES Unit controller Stephen Bakker said no-one was walking past when the branches fell and it was clear of any homes or businesses.
"The tree has dropped a few branches and landed on the road," Mr Bakker said.
"It was called in by someone, the police responded and we turned up to chop it up and get it off the road.
"Warrnambool City Council workers also attended to clean up the debris."
Mr Bakker said it was a timely reminder to be wary of falling trees and branches.
"It doesn't have to be windy," he said.
Police assisted with traffic management.
There are no longer any detours in place.
