Let us talk about emergency tree situations. You might wake up after a Santa Ana windstorm. You might also wake up after a surprise winter downpour. Then you see it: a big limb hanging dangerously. A tree might be leaning too close to your house. It could also be something worse, like a tree already on the ground. Your heart sinks at this time.

These choices are full, immediate removal or trying to stabilize the tree with cabling and bracing.
