What is Cabling and bracing?

Cabling and bracing is a method by which a cable system is installed in the trees canopy to help prevent a failure of a large section of the tree.

It is usually used where there is a visible defect in a tree that is considered valuable and needs to be retained.

Cable systems are not a “guarantee that the tree is safe” and they do require regular inspections and maintenance.
