Similarly, you may ask, is tree cabling a good idea?
Cabling is the installation of flexible steel strand cables in trees to reduce stress damage from high winds, the weight of ice or snow, and heavy foliage. Essentially what we are doing is strengthening weak tree branches or limbs so that they are better able to withstand severe weather and to improve their longevity.

This type of anchoring remains in place for three to five years, until the tree is sufficiently anchored itself, through its stabilising roots. The stakes and bands are then removed.Where are cable trays used?
