Tree surgery is an
undertaking often lopked up'on
by the layman 'as SOlpethillg
Which only 'very dedicated
professional ', men ',,,can
W 01110411. Certaiu phases of
work,'it is.true, are best done by
Ilrbotlata who have the toOls,
access to the'correct materials
and the experience to ao a
lasting job. 'But, there are also
other 'parts of tree surgery which
can he done by a careful
amateur and.• which might help
prolong the life of a tree. These-1
shall Outline here under their
Appropriate headings.
BRACING AND CABLING
Trees which have not been
pruned properly in' their: early
stages will often form twq or
more leading' shoots that, develop
into separate' trunks. When' these
trees grow older the' trunks
become 'an integral'part of their
outline and none can be •
removed :without without completely
ruining the beauty of the tree,
Yet through the years, wind and
frost will cause a weadening' at
the crotch, reaultingfirst•in small
cracks which' allow entry ' of
disease and later larger openings'
that will cause the trunk to split
from the . tree as the foliage
beeonies heavier or during a
severe storm. This condition can
be partly prevented by bracing
or 'cabling, a . job which
nowadays cari often be done by
anyone who is handy with tools.
There are 'two ways of
repairing' trees with 'weakened
crotches; by rod bracing or by
'cabling. Cabling refers to the
flexible cables installed high in
the tree to take much of the
load off weak crotches. Rod
bracing is applied to bolts and
threaded ,rods which are used
like skewers to sew up long splits
in branches or for' holding
rubbing limbs together and
bracing cavities.
The simplest type of cabling
is that which involves the
installation of a single cable
supporting two trunks which
arise from a main stem. This is
one most amateurs can do. It
merely consists of placing hook
bolts in the inner sides of the
limbs and attaching spliced loops
of cabling to the hooks. To
insert the lag hooks, first drill a
shallow. ,hole,, smaller. than the
thread . of he hook. This
prevents splitting the wood.
Next splice loops at each end of
a cable of the desired length and
put them over the hooks making
sure the cable is taut. Now screw
the hooks in tight until the slack,
is taken up. If you find iplicing
difficult, a good strong chain
will do the trick.
If, you are serious about
cablihg and bracing your tree, it
will be worthwhile to send 25
cents to the Supervisor of
Doeuments, U. S. Government
Printing Office, Washington, D.
C., for their bulletin on Tree
Bracing. This gives diagramatic'
explanations of bracing, cabling •
and splicing,
CAVITY FILLING
:Most laymen think that the
•
filling or cavities is the major.
••
phase of tree -care, _ whereas
- pruning, fertilizing awl •spraying
are far more important. Cavity
work . has a ,place in a well
organized program nnt, if the•
proper 'attention has been paid
to the other three items, it will
'rarely he necessary.
The -demand for cavity work.
usually arises from the desire to
nide .an unsightly wound or
Ming • hole. A ore4t. deal. of
'.controversy is prevalent among
arhorists .as to whether the filling
of large cavities, actuajty,
prolongs the life of the tree .1;,r
accelerates it demise, Certainly
the filling of a hollow trunk with
'cement and bricks could add so
much weight that some trees
might collapse, A job not well
done might result in more.
Moisture collecting in the trunk
of the' -tree then if no repair
work was done, thus greatly
advancing .the incidence of
disease.
Whether or net 'to fill a cavity
depends upon the vigor and type
of tree, the size of the cavity and
prohably the life-span of the
species involved. Large cavities
PA best filled by experts who
will first clean out the soft tissue
and an inch or so. of presumably
• good tissue, which may be
infected: •
• They will . then gouge a
network of channels round the
inside of the cavity so that
moisture will drain .out to an.
outlet pipe or pipes at the base.
The channels are then treated
with a tree paint and covered
with sheet tin. Then the cavity is
filled with a filler such as bricks
and cement, asphalt, or one
prepared by- the tree expert
himself. As the work proceeds,
rods are' placed through the
cavity' as' supports for the 'filler'
Material and to prevent cracking.
You could probably fill small
cavities yourself very easily by
using the above methods. First
decide whether it is not better to
clean out the decayed wood and
treat with a tree paint. If not, fill
in • the cavity, but in either case,
leave room so that the callus
growth that will form at the,
borders of the live tissue will in
time grow over it.
