With this particular tree we will reduce (shorten) branches competing with the central trunk in order to encourage the central trunk or leader to assume the dominant position in the tree (see below photos).

The cables provide extra support for the weak v-shaped branch unions that are synonymous with Autumn Blaze maple trees. These are branches are most susceptible to high-wind branch failure, also know as sail effect. So this tree needs some extra TLC in the form of dynamic support cables. In the photos above, the lower branches have strong open unions, while the upper branches that look like v's have included bark. Included bark is bark wedged between a v-shaped branch union of co-dominant stems. Since the upper canopy has never been pruned, all its major branch unions (where they connect to the trunk) have developed significant cracks due to included bark. This blog features a 14” diameter Autumn Blaze maple that has been growing for 15+ years (see below photos). Unmaintained trees develop weak branch attachments (cracks) prone to failure, which ultimately can mean losing the entire tree. I’m not exaggerating here, they really do need regular care in order to stay in your landscape long-term. If an Autumn Blaze maple tree has been in your landscape for more than five to tens years without any structural or upper canopy pruning, please contact a certified arborist ASAP because these trees require regular pruning.
