Younger trees are secured by traditional stake-and-tie method
Once the tree has been planted stakes and ties must be checked every year to avoid tight tree ties damaging the stems and to replace any ties that have frayed or broken. Once the tree is then able to stand unsupported without bending or shifting in the ground, we remove the stakes. This usually takes eighteen months to three years, but may be longer for semi-mature trees or ones on weak rootstocks, such as dwarf apple trees.
Larger tree specimens we often us a state of-the-art overhead or underground Platipus anchorage system. This ensures the tree successfully establishes itself within the surrounding ground and has adequate support prevent damage from the surrounding environments weather conditions.
