Leaning Tree of Pisa...

[Steven Banks]

Hello All,

We went through a tough storm a few weeks ago up here in the Great Pacific
NorthWET. One of my evergreen trees which had a crooked trunk has taken on a
lean. It's leaning into my neighbors trees.

I do not want to cut it down and I think since the root ball didn't pull all
the way out of the ground that I can save this tree. I want to stake the
tree. What I'm looking for is something similar to an "auger stake" the kind
that is used for dogs to be tied up to in a yard (but larger). Any clues as
to where I can find such an animal?

Thanks,
Steve Banks

I'd use a winch or "come-a-long" the pull it over straight before I stake
it.

If there is nothing to pull against, park a truck and pull against the
bumper. For additional safety, drape several blankets across the cable to
prevent whipping in event it parts under strain.

Thanks guys, actually what I was looking for are the auger type screws but
of a more "industrial" length and diameter. The aluminum ones for dos are
good for just that. I did find an anchor system called Duckbills that would
do the job but think I just might have to go the route of an arborist.
Thanks though.
