A cracked trunk or weak branch union doesn't always mean a tree has to come down. Cabling and bracing let ACE support the weak point from the inside, giving large, otherwise healthy trees years of extra life.
This works best on trees with a codominant stem or a partial crack that hasn't compromised the whole structure. A properly installed cable system redistributes load so wind and weight stop concentrating on the weak spot.
It's a service that takes real arborist training to do correctly, and it's part of what separates a full-service tree company from a crew that only removes. Central Alabama homeowners with a mature tree worth saving have more options than they think.
Have a tree with a crack or lean you'd rather preserve than remove? Let's take a look.
