Cabling and bracing may be recommended when a tree has weak branch connections, large splitting limbs, heavy leaning sections, or what’s known as embedded bark. Embedded bark happens when bark gets trapped between two stems or branches as the tree grows.

To most homeowners, it may look like a deep crack or tight “V” shape in the tree, but it can actually be a sign of a weaker connection that may be more likely to split during wind, snow, or heavy growth.

At TOHO Tree Care, we know what to look for when evaluating a tree’s structure. Our team can inspect the tree, identify warning signs like embedded bark or stressed limbs, and determine whether cabling or bracing is the right solution.

When appropriate, we install support systems designed to help stabilize the tree, reduce the risk of failure, and protect your home, property, and surrounding landscape.
