EAC Tree Cabling & Branching Standard
The Cabling and Bracing Standard provides engineering guidelines for installing dynamic support systems that secure co-dominant stems or heavy branches without wounding the tree. Unlike rigid bolting or immediate removal, these non-invasive synthetic systems allow the tree to move naturally while preventing catastrophic failure during high winds. This approach offers a safe, verified alternative for preserving Yerevan's mature heritage trees that might otherwise be condemned as hazardous by risk-averse officials.
