Cabling and Bracing

Installing steel cables between major limbs reduces strain and helps support the tree. Cabling also helps reduce stress damage from high winds and excess ice or snow weight. Watch a video on cabling.

For large, weak, or split crotches, bracing is used to give direct support and reduce twisting strain on the tree. A metal rod is inserted through the crotch, and two more cables are placed above it.
