This modern approach to bracing doesn’t require wounding the tree like traditional steel systems. It’s synthetic construction along with built in shock absorber makes for a much less rigid and a more dynamic system to accommodate for the tree’s natural dampening or dissipation of energy as they oscillate in response to high wind. It reduces sudden stress, thus preventing branches from breaking during storms and high wind events.

Most importantly for land managers, it prevents the branch from falling to the ground avoiding severe damage, injury or death. In the case of a branch section failing, it will remain supported and suspended in the canopy for our arborists to safely dismantle.

Optimum effectiveness can be achieved by installing the bracing system 2/3rds the height of the stem above the crotch. The system is installed between appropriate branches within the canopy to spread and transfer loads to stronger parts of the tree. Our bracing configurations attach to the tree with a unique splice, which self-adjusts in girth accommodating for future tree growth.
