If appropriate direction is not given to the tree it somehow end up with improper bending with erroneous direction which gives extremely shady look for the rest of its life.
So no matter what, one should always have some kind of support.
It is a tremendous method which lets tree to grow up-straight by putting longs stakes into the ground on either side and tie loops around the tree.
Each loop must have enough capability to facilitate expansion of trunk. Generally people just have a stake on one side of the tree but this is not considered as a good practice because it doesn’t allow tree to grow further.
Staking is suggested if the winds and other forces are expected to move the balls of roots within the ground. Your staking must have enough capability to prevent all such forces which creates move because it is presume to be the most harmful things that could harm to a young tree.
It causes too much motion in the roots; it never let the root to get a strong hold on the soil and does not help a tree to develop normally.
You must be completely sure about the need of staking a tree because it can only be done if the need of staking is there.
If a tree does not require staking but require a movement and we revoke the movement or tighten it so that will increase the chances to harm the tree and that would be unrecoverable once a tree is affected.
Suppose you use such staking process that could raise abrasion or “rashes” on the trunk. This will happen anyways but why it should occur if it is needless? Perhaps, staking gives your yard a strange look and could cause hurdles while walking or running around the yard.
The staking process is very simple. What you all need to do is just take 3 stakes and tie each one separately near the base of the trunk. That would be considered as a better solution if you use some sort of tether to prevent rope burn on your tree.
These are easily available at any gardening shop; these are designed to be friendly to the bark of the tree. Sticking with this is much better idea than using bare rope because that will minimize the amount of friction a tree endures.
When you feel that your tree has become enough capable to stand on its own, stakes must be removed from the ground as soon as this is possible for you. Otherwise every moment will cause the tree to lose its strength.
Keep proper eyes on to the weather reports as soon as you feel like the wind is dying down at your place and see how much wind is forecasted. You should take off the stakes temporarily if you found the skies are pretty clear for a while.
To take a pride, you should never decline with to provide a good staking to your tree. It is very necessary thing to do in certain conditions to help your tree grow well. Although it is very difficult to understand and identify when a tree need it.
If you do unnecessary staking to your tree, this could be as harmful as if we do not provide staking to the trees which needs this. If you are thinking of calling experts to take their opinions about staking your tree as well as about the duration of staking, so that will be much beneficial for you.
