Double-Trunk Blue Spruce: Don't Tie, Don't Brace

20-ft blue spruce has two parallel trunks forming a V. Branches pull them apart. Should you tie them?

Advice

• Tying/cabling creates wounds → decay entry.
• Forked trees live fine naturally.
• If one fork was removed young, other would compensate. Too late now.

Bottom Line

Leave it. Double trunks are normal. No tying, no cabling. Enjoy the tree.
