Staking newly planted trees
We believe that it is better not to stake most trees. If allowed to buffet in the wind, trees will form a stronger root system. Not staking also reduces the chance of the tree snapping or being damaged at the point where the wire or rope contact the tree. Trees smaller than 1.5 inches in diameter may need staking. When a tree is staked, care should be taken to cover the wires or ropes with rubber hose where it contacts the tree. After one year stakes should be removed
Staking is not included in the price of planting a tree. If you wish to have it staked there will be an additional fee.
