Tree cabling, Saint-JeanWhy would a tree need to be supported? The method most people are familiar with is the one used when a tree has just been planted. A stake is installed close to the tree, and the tree is attached to this stake. The objective is to provide a foundation for the tree until its roots form and can perform this stabilizing function on their own. However, this process can have other uses. For example, if there is a strong wind or if people accidentally hit the tree, the tree is protected from becoming unbalanced. However, this is not the only reason to use cabling to keep a tree stable. Let's review some of them.
Structural problems
It goes without saying that the conditions for tree growth are different in the city than in the forest. One of them is competition. In the forest, or even in rural areas, competition due to the presence of other trees growing close to each other is much more important than in the city. Thus, in urban areas, a tree receives sunlight almost during the entire daily period of sunlight unlike its counterparts in forests and rural areas. One of the consequences of this situation is that the structure of the tree is unbalanced. Another effect is that the top grows out of proportion to the base. A well-prepared combination of pruning and bracing can rectify the problematic structure.

Weakened branches after a storm
As mentioned earlier, in forests or rural areas, trees grow very close together. In the city, not having this advantage, they are more at risk of being damaged during storms or thunderstorms. It is therefore not surprising to find many damaged trees in the city after such events. Many will have the knee-jerk reaction of wanting to have their trees cut down without delay. Except that a well planned bracing could save your tree. So contact us at 579-700-0105 so we can determine your options.
Multi-trunk trees
You've probably seen multi-trunk trees before. Although it has a particular cachet, it is also a situation to watch from the point of view of the safety of people and buildings. This is because each trunk has its own branches and the whole that they constitute gradually distances itself from the central axis while competing with each other, which increases the risk of breakage. It is recommended to pay attention to the point of intersection of the trunks to look for suspicious cracks. This is because a crack attracts insects and diseases and this condition amplifies the risk of one of the trunks breaking.
Cracked trunk
If your tree has the slightest crack, contact us at Emondage Saint-Jean, in case it is a problem and so that we can advise you judiciously. Companies specializing in tree care, such as ours, are able to perform risk assessments, particularly in the presence of cracks in a trunk, and they have the necessary experience. After analysis, we can establish the appropriate technique: pruning, bracing or a combination of both. Our goal is to avoid having to cut down a tree in the near or distant future.
Base branches
It is a known fact that the larger branches are usually located at the base of trees. As a tree grows taller, access to sunlight for the lower branches is compromised. This is another situation where expert guying is appropriate. Almost every time, the process will avoid the need to cut the lower branches.
