Tight V-Shaped Trunk Splits Can Hide a Weakness Called Included Bark

Post Copy

U or V? Look where your tree's trunk splits.

A wide U is usually strong. A tight V with bark pinched into the crotch, called included bark, can hide a weak union that splits in wind or ice.

Watch for cracks, staining, or stems pulling apart. Our certified arborists can take a look. Free quote at the link in bio.
