How can you fix leaning tree top for your evergreen tree? In the example I'm
showing this particular evergreen tree produced a lot of pinecones and most of
them were in the top. This is how it started leaning: in a lot of other cases
as we typically plan young evergreen trees in the open area to allow for more
sun exposures trees experience high wind and can get the tree tops start leaning
this is especially challenging for young newly planted trees that are most
vulnerable in this video we're going to be looking at how you can help your
evergreen tree to regain a straight horizontal position and who will be
doing it by joint connecting tree trunks to external board for support tree tops
for the young trees is typically very flexible in this video we're going to
provide a permanent support for the tree top which will permanently connect to
the tree you will be able to remove this support in couple of years once tree
regain strength fixing leaning treetops for evergreen trees is a multi-step
process and the best thing is that it's extremely inexpensive it might even be
free since you might have everything that you need around the house or in
your backyard first step you need to evaluate your evergreen tree try to
measure the tree top area that has been leaning so you know how long of the
board that you need for support I recommend that you use boards that are
two to three times longer than the leaning area of the tree top second step
is that we need to find a straight wooden board metal rod or even natural
stick that we can join connect to the tree core to ensure it can be
straightened in addition to boards you can also use natural sticks and metal
rods as long as they provide solid support fully named tree core
in this example I will be using the board since I already had it available
for my other projects in the next step you would need to join connect your
wooden board to the tree trunk was the material that will not damage the tree
you can use nylon cord or cloth bands if you need a lot of strengths to connect
the board to the tree you can use thick wire but I would recommend that you put
some clothes around the wire to make sure it doesn't damage the tree top I
would also recommend that you wear gardening gloves when you tightening the
rope this way you feel much more comfortable
around the needles you need to wrap the nylon cord around the tree trunk and
wooden board connecting them together be sure that it circles the tree at a place
where the trunk is solid and strong use whatever force is necessary to pull the
tree top into the upright position after you fix the leaning tree top you would
need to plan to keep your evergreens in this position for at least couple years
until leaning tree top will grow and stay stronger once we're done now let's
compare the same tree before and after the repair side by side hopefully you
can see the noticeable difference wish you all the best and good luck on your
