How Tree Cabling and Bracing Can Save a Splitting or Leaning Tree 🌳
In South Bergen County, mature maples and oaks tend to grow two competing trunks from a single fork. That V-shaped union, especially when it contains included bark, can be a structurally weak point that may separate under heavy wind or snow loads. When the surrounding wood is still sound, tree cabling and bracing can reduce movement and failure risk in trees, holding the union together for years to come.
Whether a support system can help depends on what’s causing the weakness and the condition of the rest of the tree. An arborist can assess the union, trunk, canopy, and surrounding targets to determine whether cabling or bracing can provide meaningful support or whether another solution is safer.
