The average person knows very little about Included Bark. In fact even the professional tree person sees it every day but does not think to much about it until it becomes a problem. Lets examine this included bark so that when we see it, we can do something that can litigate the problem before it becomes one. You see Included bark is to put it simply two stems of the tree that grow beside each other. As these two stems grow and get bigger, they start rubbing up against each other and pretty soon are pressed up against each other and start pushing against each other until the pressure gets to great and one of them split.
There are a lot of ways to fix this problem without taking the tree down. One way is to start Removing one of the stems from the top down. You can do this over a period of time and this way the tree is not thrown into a state of shock. This is the way we do it here at Beechnut tree service . We start from the top and take about one third of the top out of one side of the tree most time that is the smaller of the two leads. Then a few months later we take it down half way and so on until we are able to very carefully cut it down close to the trunk being careful not to cut the other trunk. Some people prefer to get it out in one shot.
The important thing is to spot this problem and remove one side of this tree before it splits and causes damage to your home or something else. I don't know how many times I've went out to a estimate where this has happened only to hear the homeowner say "I don't know why it broke or split it looked green and real healthy" And I tell them that yes the tree was healthy but it also had a bad structure and that it the reason it has split. It is always easier to correct this problem when the tree is small but it can still be fixed when it is a large tree. It just takes a little longer for the tree to heal and adapt.

We aren't one of them We will only tell you that as a last resort. We try to trim trees properly and so that it will benefit the trees health and not just wack it down.
