Straightening Crooked Tree Trunks

Straight to the point!😅

So they should be staked in the fall and left until the fall the following year?

Good video. 😂 I just got a green giant thuja that looks the letter C.

Great vid! Isnt here a risk that you exacerbate the problem by bracing the trunk so much that it can't hold its own weight/height? I.e. being too bendy

I just got a 4 meter Acer Drummondii delivered. I’m doing the exact same technique with heavy duty wooden posts and rope.
The trunk has a slight curve in it which I’m hoping will be corrected by next winter.
Do you give your trees any feed during this process or is it best to only water them?

How long it takes

These jokes were elite

Nice ✌️

Great vid, ive just planted a silver birch with a rather crooked trunk. Its about the diameter of yours. Whats the issue with bracing it while its in leaf though?

Brilliant technique, just installed one myself, thanks so much

❤. Thank you very much this technique is by far the very best video and solution that I have came across. Trouble is my tree is already in the ground for the third year but the trunk is only an inch and a half. I'm wondering if I can still use this technique?

My crimson sentry trunk is 4ft tall, about 1.5cm thick and is lightly twisty and bent in bits. The trunk itself should hopefully just thicken up and straighten as it widens. It has a grafted top that is slightly to the side so I have it positioned for the wind to be pushing it back slightly. Just hoping it sorts itself out 😅

Do you have any before and after pictures? Some arborists are saying this does not work and the trunk will just go back to its curvy shape once the stakes are removed.

As far as wood growth. Does talking or rubbing help. I have two crepe myrtles I'm trying to grow.

Thanks! Gonna try this on my trunk🙂

This was both very helpful and hilarious!! Thanks man! Really appreciate the video

Awesome info. Thank you.
