Props and Bracing

Some trees can require a little support with staying upright, whether due to their age or their unusual growth structure. Dartmoor Tree Surgeons can install and maintain traditional props, as shown here, as well as Cobra bracing for limbs within a tree’s crown which require additional support. Cobra bracing works a little like a sling on an arm, allowing the tree to still move naturally and to hopefully build some strength in the affected limb.

Props and bracing can be fantastic ways of preserving an old or interesting tree, and can even add some extra character in the process! If you are interested in exploring your options in this regard please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to see how we can help.
