Tree Bracing
In some situations, trees require additional support as they develop strong reactive growth around certain branches and stems.

About Our Tree Bracing Service
A common risk of tree failure is the presence of codominant stems, Codominant stems, or “tight branch union,” are structurally weak compared to a single stem. This is due to the lack of connective tissue anchoring a stem together and the presence of included-bark between the stems. The greater the angle of the “tight branch union,” the greater the risk of structural failure.
Tree bracing is the process of providing a support system for trees to protect vulnerable limbs and branches by limiting movement.
Brace rods are used to hold a branch union or branch that has split.
The appropriate configuration is dependent on tree size and whether decay is present in the stems.
