Temporary support helps young trees thrive, but leaving stakes on too long weakens their natural strength

Proper Tree Support: In this informative video, ISA Certified Arborist Wes explains the practice of staking trees for their initial growing season to provide proper tree support, particularly in the face of potential storms. Wes discusses the importance of this temporary support but emphasizes the need for caution. Leaving trees staked for too long can lead to dependency on the stake, preventing them from developing their own strength to stand upright. Additionally, there's a vital reminder about the potential danger of forgetting the staking materials wrapped around the tree, which could eventually strangle the tree as it grows in diameter. This video offers valuable insights into the proper care and maintenance of young trees to ensure their long-term health and stability in the natural environment.

Leaving trees staked for too long can lead to dependency on the stake, preventing them from developing their own strength to stand upright.
