Mature Tree Preservation
Tree Cabling
Bracing Rod
In a forest, trees grow together in close groups and compete for space. They form single trunks
and strong central leaders. In the landscape, they develop broad canopies and lose the protection
of their partners which buffer high winds.
To preserve mature trees Greene’s Tree & Garden will prune dead wood, remove crossing branches
and preserve a central leader or stem. Thinning the crown of a tree may be necessary to increase
light and air penetration and to reduce branches for structural purposes or to combat co-dominance.
Finally, if a tree that has major structural defects is to be saved, Greene’s Tree & Garden
will install cables and/or bracing rods for support.
