Tree Cabling and Bracing

Trees can form weak crotch unions, such as inclusive bark or become compromised due to wounds, both natural or man-made. Extra support may be necessary for prevention, preservation, or protection of the branch unions.  There are multiple options available, depending upon the severity and circumstances. Cabling can be completed with either rigid cable, high strength steel, or a more malleable system like Cobra cable. All have distinct benefits when it comes to application and installation. Bracing can be installed with the use of one or multiple threaded rods inserted through a split stem. Another form of bracing. is supporting a broken or compromised limbs and sections with a post concreted in the ground with an anti-abrasive pad, protecting the trees tissue. These systems can be used individually or in combination to help prolong the health, structure, and life of your tree.
