Shaft guyingWhen a tree has reached a fairly large size when it is planted, a simple device such as a stake planted in the ground, to which the tree is attached by a cable, is often used to ensure stability. This is used until the roots can resume and perform this function on their own. This means is even quite well known. You may have seen it yourself. The device is then most useful to stabilize the tree in situations where the winds are blowing strongly or when someone accidentally pushes the tree. However, there are several reasons for using cables and a prop as a stability support for a tree. Let's look at a few of them.
Structural complicationGrowing conditions in cities, countryside or forests are different. For example, there is a certain amount of competition between trees in rural areas, particularly because of their close proximity to each other. These conditions are not those of urban areas. On the contrary, trees there encounter very little competition from other trees and therefore have access to light for almost the entire duration of the sunshine. Because trees are attracted to light, a problem of structural disturbance can occur. One of the problems that can occur is when the tops become too large in comparison to the base. To restore the situation, a well-thought-out combination of pruning and guying techniques can often alleviate the problem.
