Synopsis
Excerpt from Tree Bracing
Tree bracing is one of the most essential phases of an intelligent tree preservation program. One of the most common entrance places for decay fungi IS through wounds caused by splitting of limbs. Bracing, therefore, not only prevents the disfigurement of trees but it actually prolongs tree life by preventing the forma tion of entrance places for fungus spores. Even after a tree is in an advanced stage of decay, bracing may prolong its period of usefulness for many years by providing mechanical support. In order to achieve its fullest purpose, however, bracing should seek to prevent, rather than to correct, damage.
An otherwise sound tree might require bracing for many rea sons. Typical symptoms indicating a need for bracing might be found in (1) split crotches, (2) tight V-shaped crotches, (3) in herent weakness of species, (4) extra heavy foliage growth, (5) cut or shallow root systems, (6) decay, (7) proximity to strue tures, (8) removal of nearby trees, (9) borer attack, and (10) prevalence of high wind, sleet storms, or other adverse environ mental conditions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the definitive guide to the art and science of tree bracing, an essential technique in modern arboriculture. In the early 1900s, the National Park Service developed a series of tree preservation bulletins to help park staff care for the thousands of valuable trees in their care. This volume, originally issued in 1935 and later revised by the author in 1955, is number three in the series and focuses on the methods and materials used in tree bracing. The author, A. Robert Thompson, was a nationally recognized expert in tree care and his work continues to be highly respected in the field. This book covers a wide range of topics related to tree bracing, from the simplest methods to more complex systems. Thompson provides detailed instructions on how to install cables, bolts, and rods to support trees that are weak, damaged, or at risk of falling. He also discusses the importance of proper tree maintenance and how to prevent the need for bracing in the first place. Thompson's writing is clear and concise, and he provides numerous illustrations to help readers understand the concepts he is explaining. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the care and preservation of trees.
