A split-trunk shade tree doesn't automatically mean removal, even when the crack or weak union looks concerning from the ground. Cabling and bracing gives Chattanooga trees with weak trunk unions the structural support they need to keep standing safely for years.
The process installs steel cables high in the canopy or braces through the trunk itself, reducing the stress on a weak union so the tree can handle wind and its own weight without splitting apart.
Tree Worx assesses every candidate tree individually, checking the size and angle of each stem before recommending hardware. Not every split-trunk tree is a good fit for cabling, but for the ones that are, it can extend the life of a mature shade tree by decades instead of removing it.
If you have a large shade tree with a split or leaning trunk, it's worth having it evaluated before deciding removal is the only option.
