If your grounded Blanik is insured for storage only, and a tree falls on

what kind of value would the insurance company use? Would it be the market

Is this a trick question, like "If a tree fell on a mime, would anyone
care?"

No, it's a real question, although the only Blanik I see regularly IS parked
next to a tree line...
It has just dawned on me that the annual hull (non flying) insurance premium
on an old Blanik is about the same as the actual current market value
The stated value in the policy is based on ancient history and is a
significant hunk of money.
I would think the insurance companies would be getting a mite nervous, give
the low price of chainsaws these days.
