Support systems may be considered for certain structural weaknesses. The decision begins with whether retaining the tree is appropriate.

Suitability for retention
Support objectives
Define the limbs or unions being supported and the limits of the proposed system. Cabling does not make a tree incapable of failure.
Installation planning
Support has limits and responsibilities
Access and independent climbing arrangements need assessment. Hardware and positioning should be selected for the particular tree.
Inspection and maintenance
Support installations need review as the tree grows and conditions change. Ask for inspection advice and record the installation details.
Define the support objective
Weak unions and retention priorities
Share earlier reports and photographs of the union or limb of concern. The assessment should consider the rest of the tree as well as the proposed attachment area.
Agree the scope before booking
Ask what the support system is intended to achieve and what limitations remain. A cable is not a substitute for deciding whether retention is appropriate.
Support systems need review
What changes the estimate?
Installation access, the proposed hardware and future inspection needs affect the scope. Ask whether baseline photographs and installation records are supplied.
Inspection records as the tree grows
Retain those records and follow the recommended inspection plan. Growth, storm damage or changes in loading can justify an earlier review of the support system.
