CABLING AND BRACING
Title: Enhancing Arboriculture with Modern Tree Support Systems
For years, arborists have effectively used cables and braces to reinforce trees and provide additional support, minimizing the risk of canopy failures. Cables, made of Extra High Strength steel, restrict canopy movement, while braces offer rigid support against torsional forces. While these systems cannot eliminate hazards, they significantly decrease failure risk.
Homeowners with canopy support systems should prioritize annual inspections by Momentum Tree Experts to maintain tree health and safety. Our Certified Arborists can identify issues like disease, pests, or structural weaknesses and provide care recommendations during inspection. Investing in regular inspections can proactively address concerns and promote tree longevity, while ensuring compliance with local regulations and environmental responsibility.
Momentum Tree Experts advise steering clear of Cobra-Cable and synthetic nylon systems and prioritize compliant modern cabling and bracing techniques following industry standards. Prioritizing robust support systems and professional inspections safeguards trees and enhances safety.
