TREE CABLING SYSTEMS

Installation of the latest innovations in static and dynamic cable systems worldwide.  The high-tensile-strength, rope-in-sheath construction is designed to provide the same strength as traditional steel cable systems with significant reduction in potential harm to the tree. 

This dynamic cabling system does not require drilling through the stems to secure the cables, as is the case for steel cables.  Such wounds to the tree can be sources for decay and can compromise the structural integrity of the tree.

CASE STUDY:  A double lead at the trunk base was never preventively structurally pruned when this sugar maple tree was young.  As the tree grew, the double trunks thickened, ultimately growing against each other, causing the tree to be at risk of failing by splitting at the trunk.

THE SOLUTION:  Installation of a dynamic, cabling system around the three primary leads 2/3rds of the way up the tree.  Sheath protected (black) polypropylene, high-tensile strength rope is spliced around each lead at a crotch.
