Cabling/Bracing
Cables are installed to help provide support for weak or potentially dangerous limbs by connecting two or more limbs together. Trees which may be candidates for cabling include trees with close, split or decayed crotches and multi-stemmed trees.

Prior to cable installation, trees should be properly pruned and/or inspected to determine if cabling is warranted. Cabling is not a "cure all" and cannot always be relied upon to make a tree safe.
