Tree Support
Systems: Part III
Cables, braces and guys can all provide supplemental support t»-trees by limiting movement. Besides codominant stems and over-extended branches, another defect is the weakly anchored tree. This condition exists when a tree is planted with a substandard root ball, uprooted, has defective roots due to damage or decay, or has another condition that' results in poor root anchorage.
Guying systems may reduce the risk of failure in these situations. In all cases, pruning or removal should also be considered. Pruning may remove structural defects or lighten the load on tree parts with high risks of failure. On larger and mature trees, the combination of pruning and a support system may reduce the risk of failure. Removal is sometimes necessary for trees with extensive decay, damaged root systems or other critical risk conditions.
