Split Stems in Trees

Posted on September 3, 2016 by Wood Acres Tree Specialists

If you have a tree with co-dominant stems and you see those stems separate like these two are doing, then the tree should be removed as soon as possible. ??Cabling systems can be installed in trees with multiple stems to help reduce the risk of this happening, but the cables need to be installed before the stems start to fail. This tree, which is an ailanthus, is a very fast growing species. The faster the growth rate of the tree, the weaker the bonds of the wood are and that increases the risk of failure. Contact Wood Acres Tree Specialists to inspect your trees.
