Cabling and Bracing Can Save a Tree With Two Competing Trunks Instead of Removing It

Post Copy

A lot of mature trees around metro Atlanta split into two nearly equal trunks low on the tree, and homeowners often assume that means removal is the only option once one side starts leaning or cracking. It isn't always.

Cabling and bracing installs steel support systems that redistribute the weight and wind load between the two trunks, reducing the risk that one side fails during a storm. It's a specialized service, not a quick fix, and it only works when the tree still has enough structural integrity to support.

Our certified arborists assess the union point closely before recommending cabling, because installing hardware on a tree that's already too compromised just delays an inevitable failure. When it's the right call, it can add years of safe life to a tree worth keeping.

Do you have a tree on your property with two trunks growing from roughly the same point?
