Tree Care in Aurora: It Goes Beyond Stump Removal and Pruning
Tree care in Aurora is about more than just pruning limbs and removing stumps. For example, it also involves, bracing, guying and cabling. All three are techniques used to save trees and the property around them from further damage. The first method is commonly used to repair split trunks whereas the second one addresses poor root systems. The third typically involves the canopy or leaf-filled sections of unhealthy trees and that’s the one we’d like to talk more about today.
Cabling
There are a number of cabling systems used during tree care in Aurora and not all of them provide the same benefits. For instance, systems without built-in give or take are typically referred to as being static. Although they will support damaged areas of a canopy; they also have the tendency to be too restrictive for juvenile trees. After all, juvenile trees are traditionally at the height of their growing period and thus restricting them may produce negative effects.
So which cabling systems should be used to care for juvenile trees in Aurora? Many certified arborists prefer dynamic ones. Unlike their steadfast counterparts, dynamic systems are designed to be flexible, unobtrusive and adjusted over time. As such, they foster normal growth better than many alternatives. Plus, the flexible materials tend to hold up well despite exposure to the Aurora region’s climate.
However, there are times when juvenile tree canopies are so damaged that they require static support or aggressive pruning. For example, juvenile tree canopies may buckle, crack or snap due to pressure from a number of things, including ice buildup. In instances of buckling, flexible systems may work but not in the case of a crack or complete snap. Cracking would require static support and snaps would likely necessitate pruning.
