Dwarf Japanese Maple trunt split from heavy snow
Ive got a Dwarf Japanese maple that has its trunk split from the heavy
snowfall from winter. An arborist says it will be 400 dollars to cable it and put a few screws in it.. It will cost me 150 to buy a replacement... I am not familiar with screws to trees etc... Will this fix the tree? He says Japanese maple dont have much disease so I shouldnt have any problems, Any one experiene this before, any advice would be helpful |

If it can be pulled together, a simple immediate fix is to drill a hole through the two split pieces and run allthread with a nut and washer on either side. Leave enough thread to release the rod a little over the years. |

I would tape the slit together NOW. Two months retape. Repeat. Wondering what a dwarf Japanese maple is ? Do you mean small weeping maple? I've got one 16 inches high by about 20 wide which I consider bonsai that is 40 years old. The issue now is who in my family will care for it as sooner or latter we have to give them away. -- Bill S.
