Cherry Tree Crown Reduction And Cable Bracing Inspection
This cherry tree crown reduction project is the perfect example of how effective our team is when working together and the amazing results we can deliver. Flynn and Alex are jointly working on the cherry tree crown reduction and cable bracing inspection to ensure the tree remains safe and healthy as we approach spring.
What Is Cable Bracing?
Cable bracing is an essential part of tree care and maintenance for large, protected trees as it keeps them secure. This is especially valuable for trees that may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order or are otherwise an essential part of the landscape, meaning removal is not an option.
Instead, cable bracing is installed to secure the branches of the tree, preventing failure which could lead to property damage or injury. In the case of this cherry tree, cable bracing has been used to keep the branches secure as they extend over the property. Failure in this case could lead to serious damage to the customers home.
However, simply installing cable bracing for tree retention is not enough to ensure the safety of your home, as ongoing inspections are required.
Cable Bracing Inspections To Ensure Ongoing Safety
Cable bracing should be inspected annually to ensure it has not become worn or damaged, leaving it ineffective. The best way to inspect cable bracing is to get in the tree to assess the strength of the cables and ensure they are still operating as intended.
Alongside annual inspections, a deeper inspection should be performed every three years where some cables may need to be replaced. Cables should be replaced every eight years to ensure the ongoing stability of the maturing trees.
Using their expertise and skills, the Beechwood Tree Care team can determine whether the cables are still secure and where additional support may be needed to keep your property as safe as possible.
Cherry Tree Crown Reduction For Greater Stability
As Flynn inspects the cable bracing, Alex is tackling the cherry tree crown reduction. While crown reduction is a standard part of tree pruning and surgery, it is particularly vital in this project because it also enhances the stability of the tree.
As we have mentioned, this tree is positioned over the property which can pose a serious risk if not cared for correctly. Bracing is used to secure the branches and prevent them from becoming weak, and cherry tree crown reduction enhances this by reducing the weight on the cables.
By reducing the crown of this cherry tree, the cables have space to continue being effective even as the tree comes into bloom. With more weight to control, the cables can become tight and therefore ineffective for stability which is why cherry tree crown reduction is needed ahead of the spring bloom.
Our team works harmoniously to ensure the tree gets the care it deserves at a time frame that suits our client’s routine. By tackling both the cable bracing inspection and the cherry tree reduction on the same day, we can deliver results quickly to ensure peace of mind.
Finished Results: Health And Beauty
