GuyingMany people are unfamiliar with the term guying. They do not even know that it is a technique for trees. So, as for what it does exactly... To help you, let's mention that there is a simple and widespread measure that is part of this technique: it is a tree staked by means of a stake planted parallel in the ground, and attached to the tree. This common device is used by the tree while it waits for its roots to grow and can then perform the function of keeping it stable. Thus supported, the young plant can resist many bad weather conditions. However, this is far from being the only technique concerned with guying. Of course, there are much more complicated techniques. It is therefore relevant to see together different cases that lend themselves to guying.
Problem of structureThe conditions for the development of city trees and forest trees are not at all the same. The former enjoy more space; the latter live in a denser environment. However, urban places favour a daily reception of more light than their rural arboreal counterparts. This results in faster growth for urban trees. This situation can lead to complications in the form of a disturbing destabilization of the structure of a tree. This may be due to a crown size that has become too large in proportion to the lower branches. In such a case, it is not uncommon for a competent combination of pruning and guying to save the situation.

Branches destabilized by a storm
A little-known advantage to the density of tree cohabitation in forest areas is that in this case the trees protect each other, among other things, against weather incidents that sometimes prove to be pests. In cities, trees benefit from more space around them. They are therefore more at the mercy of hazards. This is another factor that compromises the arboricultural balance. In the most serious cases, felling is necessary. On the other hand, a guying can sometimes prevent a tree from such a distressing outcome. Our experts will be able to examine the situation carefully, in order to recommend possible saving measures. Please contact us.
Trees with more than one trunk
If in humans intertwining is beneficial, when it comes to two trees sharing the same trunk, it's quite a different matter. It is a situation of permanent tension at the junction of the two trunks, which is at risk of causing a definitive, possibly dangerous break. However, it is not exempt from the risk of injury to persons or breakage of nearby property or buildings. It is important to understand that the branch of each of these united trees grows and thus occupies more and more space as it grows. They are therefore in real competition with each other.
Cracked trunk
To avoid the worst, make sure that palliative measures can be applied as early as possible. This means that as soon as a crack appears, call us. Don't think it's too much. On the contrary, because insects and diseases like to get stuck in cracks, whereas they would only worsen the possibility of a break. So check the situation frequently, especially where the trunks meet. And call us at the slightest suspicious clue.

Branches at the bottom of the tree
Why do trees have larger branches at the bottom than at the top? Have you ever even asked yourself this question? This is a normal effect related to the need for light. Since the tops receive it first, without a natural adaptation strategy, they would grow faster and shade the lower branches, which would run out of sunlight. Then, they may have difficulty growing or even die. To avoid this, they flare out in width, allowing them to absorb their daily dose. If this process goes wrong, for a variety of reasons, stability problems can occur.
We have just seen another occasion that suits a shroud. This support, put in place for as long as necessary, is a solution that can prevent a plant from subsequent pruning, or even death. These outcomes would obviously be deplorable.
