Removing stakes
Removing stakes
Staking a tree must never be more than a temporary solution. The sooner you are able to remove the stakes or guy wires, the less
risk there is of damaging the tree and the sooner the tree will develop a strong trunk and well-established root system. Stakes can
usually be removed from small trees after the first year. You may need to leave stakes or guy wires on larger trees for up to
2 years. If in doubt, grasp the trunk and shake it to see if the root ball is loose. If it doesn’t move, remove the stakes.
