Cabling can save trees from severe damage due to storms, ice, and wind.  Cobra Cable Systems, widely used in Europe, these cables, unlike steel cables and steel bolts, are non-invasive. They require no drilling. They are dynamic systems that allow normal tree movement while maximizing support of weak crotches and weak limbs. These systems are also adjustable.

Below is a diagram of a Cobra cable, The cables are highly effective for small and large trees and require no drilling or metal hardware installation.
