Tree Staking Rules of Thumb<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are limits to how and when a tree should be staked.\nKeep in mind that not all trees will require staking, even some young or\nnewly-planted ones. In fact, sometimes tree staking can do more harm than good\nif not implemented properly. You see, if staking is done incorrectly, it can\nactually have the opposite intended affect by stunting root and trunk growth\nwith artificial support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, trees use nature to develop strength and\nresistance. So to some degree, growing trees rely on challenging weather to\ncondition them for a long life. As a result of improper staking and artificial\nsupport, a tree will grow taller, but not stronger, wider, nor more stable.\nThis can lead to falling or toppling over down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although most trees will not require staking since natural wind currents and weather conditions help trees become stronger and more resistant, sometimes a young or newly planted tree needs a little assistance growing to its fullest potential. This is where tree staking comes into play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a newly planted tree on your property, it may need some help growing tall and strong. Staking may help to prevent fragile trees from storm damage, wind damage, breakage, leaning, and other undesirable conditions caused by instability and feebleness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
