Tree Bracing & Cabling

An issue posed in most trees, is that they can grow to such a degree that their physical structure cannot support their own weight any longer. A huge branch or trunk failure that sometimes occurs in trees, can result in property damage, personal injury or death. Tree bracing and cabling could be an option.

This is extremely common in multi trunked, mature trees with open canopy. Cabling can bring both advantages and inconveniences. You have a high chance of permanently damaging the tree, or injuring it to a considerable extent.

That’s a very good reason for you not to try to do this yourself. Having this done once a year is a must to keep your tree safe and healthy. Bracing and cabling is a complex process that is exclusively for professionals.

Wires are usually made from extremely strong steel, and attached to bolts that are placed in a tree’s upper crown. These are designed to limit the movement of the branches being supported, so that they are less likely to collapse during storms.

This is built by combining weak branches and several stems, to provide more stable defense against spinning forces, that can occur under severe weather conditions like wind, snow, and ice. Only qualified professionals will install additional structural support systems, based on thorough inspection and analysis of the structure.

Adequately spaced wires may help to reallocate the weight load between the branches, allowing them to support each other. This could save a tree, but it reflects the dedication of an expensive annual maintenance plan, in which each year the tree is checked and carefully tailored to maintain a reasonable risk level.

You need to find a company that can of course support you with this project. There are many businesses out there but none like Florida Tree Service Pros, they are an excellent example of a company that is eager to help its clients with any tree related matter, by offering multiple services to all customers.

Tree Bracing & Cabling

Have you ever looked up at a tree and wondered why some trees have flexible steel cables and braces around it? Sure, they’re there to reduce damage to stress from high winds, ice, snow or heavy leaves. This is called bracing, and cabling for the vine.

A tree’s frail branches do not always show up to the naked eye. If you  really want to have your tree checked out, consider calling a professional arborist to test it. Your tree doctor may be able to help you find a weak point of your tree by inspecting the bark or the large codominant roots.

This could be indicators that tree cabling and bracing might be ideal for your tree. Although the maintenance work that accompanies tree cable and brace installation is kept at minimal level, it is still an important step to take for optimal tree care.

Naturally Trees will grow well. However, in some cases they may grow in a way that their physical structure can’t sustain their own growth. That leads to a structural defect. A large branch, root system, or even a structural failure of the trunk can cause significant damage to property (if it snaps and falls on something). Similarly in extreme cases it can also cause injury or death. Insufficiency of the physical structure can also contribute to a tree’s health deteriorating over time.
