Tree cablingSometimes trees need some support to stand upright or to be stronger. This can be the case especially when the plant in question is very large. Another well known situation is that of the stick planted nearby as a stake, to which the tree is attached. This simple device is used to assist in stabilizing a tree until its roots take sufficient root to perform this function without external help. When someone collides with this still too small tree, or when high winds occur, the tree will be supported. Except that the reasons requiring auxiliary stabilization are varied. Let's look at some of them.
Structural ComplicationIt is obvious that urban tree development conditions differ from forest conditions. The urban environment is considerably less competitive than a rural or forestry sector. The additional open space around an urban tree means that it benefits more from solar lighting throughout the daytime period.
This encourages growth and can lead to destabilization of the tree's structure. For example, this may be the case because the crown has grown too much in proportion to the lower branch. In such cases, planning a combination of pruning and guying should lead to structural straightening. |
