Crotch Angle

Crotch angle refers to the angle formed between a tree branch and the trunk or between two branches where they meet. A narrow crotch angle is more prone to splitting and structural weakness, while a wider crotch angle provides stronger support for the branch. Proper tree pruning and care aim to encourage strong crotch angles to improve the tree�s overall stability and reduce the risk of branch failure.
