Seattle Correct Co-Dominant Stems
Co-dominant stems are a common issue in Seattle’s urban landscape, particularly among trees. This occurs when two or more main stems emerge from the same point on the trunk, often leading to structural weaknesses and increased risk of damage during storms. The solution? Proper pruning and management of these stems to ensure your trees remain healthy, strong, and visually appealing. By addressing co-dominant stems, you can enhance your property’s curb appeal, improve safety, promote eco-friendliness, and reduce maintenance needs.
