Securing a tree with proper pruning, a cable system and bracing rods

When a tree is in distress with a significant fissure down the trunk, we can secure a tree using a Cobra cable system. This system uses flexible, non-invasive cables installed in the upper canopy to provide dynamic support and reduce stress on weak or splitting branches. Bracing rods are used in conjunction with cabling to stabilize co-dominant stems or cracks in the trunk by physically holding the wood together, offering internal structural reinforcement. In addition, deleverage pruning can be done throughout the canopy to reduce the stress on the fissure.
