Seasonal Care for Trees and Shrubs

Season of year
Staking and Guying timing
Key

Staking and guying of trees is rarely needed and is only necessary when the tree will not stand up on its own.  These practices may be necessary for 1-3 years while roots are growing and beginning to stabilize the tree.  Check attachment points on the stem every 3 to 6 months, loosen if necessary and remove within one year of placement.
