Historically, tree care experts have used steel cable to secure
damaged trees, control structural weaknesses in high-value
specimens, as well as reduce risk from hazards. Recent
understanding of trees has revealed that in some cases, limbs
allowed to move freely will form reaction wood in areas to
reduce chances of splitting & other failure. In those
circumstances, restrictive cabling could actually lead to
weakening of trees that grew dependant on such support. Our
arborist examines and evaluates the main trunk and limb crotches
for integrity and strength. We look closely for wounds, wind torque cracks, trunk rot, and lightning damage. We
employ the best approach for your situation to ensure safer trees.
We
incorporate steel cables, rods and thru-bolts in our
cabling/bracing systems. These
systems are necessary to minimize crown movement after an injury
or to support very poor limb/stem attachments. Tree bracing
and cabling is an important step in caring for your trees and we
stand ready to advise you on the best approach for your
situation. |
