Installing tree cabling and bracing rods to reduce weight can reduce the probability of structural failure and help secure existing defects and weaknesses.
Trees can grow in strange ways and odd shapes. As trees mature, increasing the amount of wood and the weight that needs to be supported, they can develop structural weaknesses. This is particularly common in multi-trunked trees and weak-wooded species. Failure of a large branch or main trunk can result in property damage, personal injury or the deterioration of a tree’s health. Cables and bracing rods are devices arborists use to improve the structural integrity of trees.
A combination of cabling and bracing can help secure existing defects and weaknesses in the trunk and branches. With North Yarra Tree Services, an ISA Certified Arborist will inspect and determine whether your trees would benefit from cabling and bracing.

“After being referred to by friend, I couldn’t be happier with the work Ben did on my old English Oak. The tree was in very poor health but I was not prepared to give up on it just yet. After consultation, Ben came up with the solution of weight reducing the whole canopy and installing some bracing cables in the event of a failure. The tree has maintained its natural form and looks great.”
