Hello,
OG+E has continually cut off the back of a 60+ year old hackberry tree close to their lines. It has made the tree grow to the south and west making it heavy. I noticed a crack in the middle of its trunk. It has not separated much. Can you recommend a company that can gird the trunk or reinforce it with an interior cable?
Thanks very much for any information!

We recommend contacting an arborist certified with the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or equivelent credentials. ISA certified arborists are well trained in most tree care techniques. You can find an ISA certified arborist at this web site - https://www.treesaregood.org/.
Thank you. I appreciate the information!
