Q: I have a large shade tree in my back yard and after all the wind the other night it appears to be splitting down the center of the trunk, what can I do to save it?
A: The only methods I know of are cabling and bolting, I would consult with a certified arborist and get a knowledgeable opinion, as to whether the tree is savable or not. That is not some thing that should be taken lightly considering the possible damage that can be done if it breaks and falls on something or someone.
