[QUOTE="BayouTree, post: 873929, member: 13633"] I noticed no one has mentioned the installation of a bracing rod in addition to the cabling. Just curious is that because of the size of the stems, the resulting wounding to the trunk and introducing a pathway to the heartwood for decay, or has this practice fallen out of favor? I have a similar tree in my front yard with some pretty severe included bark and i've thought about mitigating some of the risk as well. [/QUOTE]
