What Is Tree Cabling and Why It Is Important

Each landscape will be more beautiful and relaxing with trees scattered all over. Trees provide the appearance of height, natural beauty and provide much-needed shade to the home or for outdoor activities. But, they can become uncontrollable and can even threaten the house as well as its inhabitants. Tree cabling is a crucial security measure to avoid falling branches and trees. The following tips will enhance safety on the lawn.

What is the meaning of tree cabling?

A tree’s cabling involves bracing weaker branches or ones that are poorly placed to the trunk, or a larger branch using rods or cables. The cable is strong and flexible enough to permit the branch to grow but in a controlled manner that is less likely make it fall. Tree maintenance professionals use cabling only after they have determined that the tree will benefit from the procedure.

What is the significance of tree cabling?

As trees grow and expands, it requires a large part of its nutrients for branch expansion and growth. However there are some branches that do not receive the same amount of light and nourishment and some could begin conflicting with each other. A weaker branch could begin to grow at an odd angle , or extend beyond its capacity, which poses the possibility of falling off the tree completely.

Tree cabling is a procedure that can be used as a preventative, or preventative measure to keep branches from breaking. In the majority of cases the branches’ base or the trunk may begin to crack when pressure is applied. The cables assist in binding branches to a separate base, and remain in the tree even if they’re not a risk to the tree.

Cabling may also provide an element of support to the trunk’s structure to encourage the growth of taller, more dense leaves. It can also be beneficial to the overall appearance and the luster.

When should trees be cabled?

If a homeowner observes the tree’s branch appears odd, begins growing in odd angles or appears to be at risk of breaking away from the trunk, the tree’s cabling could be in need of repair. The only way to be certain is to speak with an experienced arborist or Tree service tech. They can examine the trees and determine if the branch is able to be saved by using braces or cables, or if it needs for removal.

tree cabling can be a simple procedure. A technician drills holes into the branch that requires more support and will construct a more sturdy branch that is able to withstand the additional stress. The bracing rod or cable can be made to the appropriate length, then inserted into the holes, then secured. A pulley system is then able to connect the two limbs to ensure security and support. The cable must be taut however, it should permit the branch to expand outwards. If the cable is too tightly woven could compromise branches.

If you spot any weak spots in the tree , or a portion of the tree’s trunk or branch which is beginning to split, call professionals immediately. The tree cabling process is the most efficient when done when the first warning signs are evident.
