Cabling & Bracing Cavity Treatment While it will not cure decay, proper cavity treatment in combination with regular pruning, feed and insect/disease control may help improve a tree's defenses. Filling cavities in otherwise healthy trees is generally considered to help improve tree appearance, promote wound closure and prevent water and animals from entering the hollow. Lightning Protection It only takes seconds for lightning to strike a healthy 50-year old tree down. While a tree lightning protection system will not prevent a tree from being struck by lightning, it is possible to equip a tree so that lightning will be conducted harmlessly downward, dissipating itself into the surrounding soil. This is accomplished through the installation and use of a system of heavy, copper cables which is secured from the highest point in the tree, and usually the ends of major branches, proceeding down the trunk and into the soil beyond the tree's main root area.
