I was going to stake a couple of my young trees I live in windy area but after everything I've studied on the matter I wont trees need to blow in the wind to create stronger trunks staking causes weak trunks weak trees my trees are growing perfectly and strong.
Seems low enough to me; the top is good to go. I am actually going to use this method this weekend. Is less hassle than messing around with multiple stakes.
No need for that excess. I’m a keen garderner and have planted quite a few trees. And some good size ones too. All have grown well and strong with thick trunks and fully stable after only a year. There really is no need whatsoever for all that dramatic hammering and staking for such small specimens. Plant them properly and ensure there are no girdling roots and don’t plant too deep. I don’t think I have ever spent more than two mins staking a tree. lol….gotta laugh…two big fellas making such a meal of of it.
Is this a joke? Do you know anything regarding trees? Jesus. Just because someone has done something "many times before" doesn't mean anything. And this is England. Horrific.
I'm new to trees and have an 8ft birch tree. It has a pathetic extendable stake which is doing nothing especially as the wind has changed direction. Can I ask what advice you would give as I was going to copy this. 🤔
Wow, the idiot's guide to staking a tree. How dangerous is what you did there. Just put 3 stakes in the ground in equal distance from the tree and connect it with a strap.
