Cabling
Trees do not grow perfect and sometimes they need our help. Often times a cable can mean saving your tree from removal and protecting your investment in the tree and your property below it.
Cabling/bracing reduces the risk of tree failure resulting from the following:
- Structural weaknesses (V-shaped crotch)
- Storm damage
- Mechanical injury
- Rubbing limbs
- Long, heavy limbs
- Old age
Properly installed cabling systems are unobtrusive, but "out of sight" does not mean "out of mind". Cabling systems should be professionally examined once a year and again after each major storm. A climber should inspect and adjust the system every five years.
Bracing is normally done as part of an overall cabling system, mainly to add strength to a weak "V-shaped" crotch. The technical term for "V-shaped" crotch is Co-dominant or multiple stem with included bark.
