Buying guide
Staking and guying new trees
Use the least support that keeps the tree upright, and attach low enough that the trunk can still flex. Wide webbing spreads load and will not girdle the bark like bare wire. Duck bill earth anchors drive into the soil and lock when pulled, which is faster than driving wooden stakes.
Check staking a few times during the season and remove it once the tree can stand on its own, often after one growing season.
Planting tips that help trees establish
Dig the hole wide and no deeper than the root ball, with the root flare at or slightly above grade. Remove wire baskets and burlap from the top of the ball as local guidance recommends, and correct circling roots. Water deeply and regularly during the first season.
When guying, attach to the trunk with soft, wide material and use earth anchors set outside the root ball. Wire rope clamps secure guy cable to anchors; install them as the clamp maker specifies. Check the setup after storms, and plan the date you will remove staking when you install it.
Common questions
How tight should tree staking be?
Snug enough to keep the tree upright but loose enough to let the trunk move a bit, which helps it build strength.
