What treatment is best?
Two trunks are growing close together with bark included between them. There is also included bark in the branch unions of each tree. Some trees in this situation fall over. Some arborists would install cables in these two trees in an attempt to reduce the chances of them falling over and to prevent branch breakage. Reduction and thinning could be used in conjunction with cabling.
