Trees are living beings and as such respond to their environment. Urban living conditions sometimes differ strongly from those under which trees naturally grow up. In this respect, an urban location of trees in many cases has a detrimental effect on the health of urban trees. That leads to biological and static weaknesses, such as for example rotten or too long and slim stems. Trees then turn into a safety risk for the environment and the people.
Tree care activities try to prevent such mainly location-related weaknesses prophylactically or to correct and remove them subsequently.
Crown bracing may provide a sensible addition to species-related proper tree care by helping to maintain a valuable tree in its natural habit or to remove a safety risk like the danger of breakage of weak branches.
