Tree Protection<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The very root of tree protection starts at the very\nbeginning of a tree\u2019s life. Routine tree care, such as fertilizing, mulching,\nwatering, trimming, and pruning, are all vital to the overall success of a tree\u2019s\nhealth and survival. Without proper tree care, trees do not grow to their fullest\npotential, and as a result, are weaker and more susceptible to damage, disease,\nand pest infestation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with proper tree care are several methods you can implement\nto ensure your trees are protected during seasons of inclement weather, namely\nspring. This is especially important for young or newly planted trees. Among\nthe various methods of tree protection, cabling, bracing, and staking are the\nmost popular and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tree Cabling and Bracing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The objective of tree cabling is to limit the degree of\nmovement in certain branches and limbs, or for the complete tree. This is\naccomplished by installing a variety of cables, wires, and hardware like\nanchors and hooks. Tree bracing is similar to cabling in many ways. It is\nimplemented with the purpose of maintaining certain distance and limiting movement\nbetween two leaders (trunks) of a tree. Rods are used to keep two trunks from\ngrowing farther apart, or moving sideways against each other. Bracing is also\nused reconnect broken limbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tree Staking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Young or newly-planted tree require additional support throughout\nthe entire year, until they are strong enough to stand on their own. Tree\nstaking is one practice that is perfect for this job. Tree staking helps protect\nunstable trees against all sorts of environmental damage, including storm\ndamage, wind damage, breakage, leaning, and other destructive conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tree Guying <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tree guying is the practice of securing a tree to the ground\nwith the purpose of reducing movement. In turn, this prevents the tree from\ntoppling over or breaking apart. It is traditionally implemented by installing\nanchors to a tree and in the ground, and then connecting them with a cable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tree Propping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tree props are built and installing in the ground to act as\na backing or support for trees. They are installed to support both trunks and\nlimbs, and mostly used for trees that are leaning or in the way. For instance,\nif a tree has a large limb that dangles over and blocks your gate, you could\nuse a prop to keep the limb from drooping so slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
