| Tree Cabling
Often a healthy tree can survive longer when the stressful weight of heavy limbs are relieved by cables. Even small trees, such as Bradford Pear trees will weather the storms better when they are reinforced with cables! "Tree cabling was developed in the early 1900’s as an alternative to
cutting down cherished and historic trees. Tree cutters (often moonlighting utility workers) discovered that common steel utility wire, strung between branches could help keep wind and heavy ice from peeling trees apart, often isolating damage to above the cable. In time, this process became increasingly popular as an alternative to removing middle-aged “oddly shaped” trees and, as a sort of insurance policy for nearby structures." | | | |
