Can a split tree be saved?
Save a split trunk or limb
When fierce storms unleash heavy winds and rains, our cherished trees often bear the brunt of nature's fury. Routine cleanups, involving the removal of leaves, twigs, and smaller branches, coupled with a touch of pruning, can often restore the tree to its former glory.
However, when larger branches or limbs split but do not completely detach, or when codominant trunks pull apart, there may still be hope for salvation. In such critical situations, seeking the expertise of a seasoned tree care professional is imperative. This is not a DIY endeavor. Why? Two primary reasons set the stage.
Why Professional Help Matters:
- Safety and Success Assurance:
- Professionals bring unparalleled knowledge and experience to assess whether a recovery attempt is safe and likely to succeed.
- Handling limbs or trunks, often weighing hundreds or thousands of pounds, demands specialized equipment for secure support, allowing them to naturally heal.
