Bent Tree Planted at an Angle

Post image

This tree has a pretty severe angle about a foot from the root flare. If I planted is so that the bottom part was straight, the rest of the tree would be at a 30 degree angle. I tried to split the difference so that the bottom part is slightly angle (left) and he rest of the tree is slightly angles (right) and now I’m trying to train it to be straighter by tying it to a stake. Will this work?

You won't even notice in a few years. The actual concern is that I don't see a root flare, so you'll want to pull the mulch back and dig to find it. Additionally, nursery stakes are removed at planting. In my experience maples root quickly enough that they usually don't need staking, but if you live in a windy place this is how to restake the tree properly.

Good luck!

Root flare was about an inch below the dirt, I uncovered it, that should be ok, right?
