Dynamic cabling systems are used to provide supplemental support to leaders, individual branches and/or entire trees. Poly-propylene systems are recommended for: Horizontal installations between limbs of young to middle-aged trees with sound crotches (no included bark growth). Species known for poor compartmentalization of wounds. Trees with leggy structure determined to experience significant flexibility to wind and […]
Static Cabling System
Static cabling systems are used to provide supplemental support to leaders, individual branches and/or entire trees. Steel systems are recommended for: Horizontal installations between stems with obvious bark inclusions. Species known for good compartmentalization of wounds. Stout, tapered trees known to have minimal movement in ice and wind. Situations requiring minimal movement. Vertical support of horizontal […]
