Tree cabling,LongueuilThis practice consists of stabilizing or reinforcing, with the help of more or less flexible shrouds, those parts of a tree that are weak and susceptible to breakage. It is therefore a preventive intervention, which takes into account the long-term health of the tree. It can avoid the need to cut branches or even resort to felling.
There are several reasons for guying. One application of this principle that most people are familiar with is the use of a stake for recently planted young trees. This can prevent them from being uprooted in high winds, for example. Here are other situations that require the installation of cables. Problem of structureA tree that has plenty of room to grow benefits from so much light that it can develop too much antlers for what its base can support. This imbalance in the structure must be corrected by a combination of pruning and guying techniques to prevent future problems.
