Tree support systems are a common method for protecting and stabilizing\ntrees. You especially see this kind of tree care technique in regions where inclement\nweather is frequent, and on trees that are deemed unsafe or potential hazards.\nIf you are concerned about the quality and condition of your landscaping trees,\na tree support system might be the perfect solution. There are different kinds\nto choose from, which means you\u2019ll want to do a little research first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start by scrolling below to review some basic information about\ntree cabling and bracing.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA common example of tree propping.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Tree Support Systems<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
A tree support system is a scheme of braces, wires, ropes,\nand hardware that is meant to supplement backing and stability. Such systems\nare designed to minimize or limit the amount of movement in principal parts of a\ntree, such as the main branches and trunk, as well as, other parts, like\nsmaller limbs, twigs, and more. This in turn prevents the tree from gaining enough\ninertia to crack, break, or topple over. Although most systems are installed to\nsupport an entire tree as a whole, they can also be focused on specific\nsections depending on the needs of the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Types of Tree Supports<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, all a tree needs are some minor pruning to\nsupport it through the seasons. However, there are many trees that require a\nmore intensive approach. There are 4 primary methods of supporting a tree. These\ninclude cabling, bracing, guying, and propping. The most widely-used and\nsupported tree care practices are cabling and bracing, yet, it is very common\nto use a combination of the four when necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tree Cabling and Bracing<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of tree cabling is to restrict the degree of movement\nin certain branches and limbs, or for the whole tree. This is accomplished by\ninstalling a variety of cables, wires, and hardware like anchors and hooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tree bracing is similar to cabling in many ways. It is implemented\nwith the purpose of maintaining certain distance and limiting movement between two\nleaders (trunks) of a tree. Rods are used to keep two trunks from growing farther\napart, or moving sideways against each other. Bracing is also used reconnect\nbroken limbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tree Guying <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Tree guying is the practice of securing a tree to the ground\nwith the purpose of reducing movement. In turn, this prevents the tree from\ntoppling over or breaking apart. It is traditionally implemented by installing\nanchors to a tree and in the ground, and then connecting them with a cable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tree Propping<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Tree props are built and installing in the ground to act as\na backing or support for trees. They are installed to support both trunks and\nlimbs, and mostly used for trees that are leaning or in the way. For instance,\nif a tree has a large limb that dangles over and blocks your gate, you could\nuse a prop to keep the limb from drooping so slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For an accurate evaluation of your property\u2019s tree care\nneeds, contact a licensed tree service company. They can provide an on-site\nassessment and help you create a fall tree care plan that is both viable and\nwithin budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
