Regen Tree Service

In a big windstorm in the summer I had a call about a tree splitting in a relatively new community. The tree was maybe 15-20 years old.

Technically wasn’t even a big tree but it just goes to show how bad a codominant stem can be for your tree.

A codominant stem is where you have two or more tops growing up side by side. As a result they can have weaker attachment to the main trunk.

What you want is a one main dominant stem that just grows straight up. This increases how strong your tree is and it will reduce the chance of it snapping like this one.

Making some space for a new development in the city. Pouring foundations and excavating does not go well with large trees. With lots of new developments in Calgary, knowing how much roots you can take out of the ground will become really important.
