- failure to comply with the rules for planting a tree into the soil, namely, the introduction of a seedling into the ground is not strictly vertically, but with a certain inclination, which over the years is gradually increasing;
- constant influence of strong gusty winds;
- the late collection of fruits, as a result of which the branches are absorbed and leaked, especially with the intensive fertility of the plant;
- the accumulation of a large number of wet snow on the branches that fell on the eve also can provoke a sharp roll of wood.
Important! With a strong curvature of the tree, the roots from the opposite side are significantly turned outwardly, that even with not highly low temperatures may affect the frostbite and drying the root.
Consequences of inclined wood
Curves trees on residential territory can entail a lot of trouble, namely:
- create an emergency situation;
- become a threat to human health and life;
- apply a significant damage to property, if such a tree is near the construction;
- reducing the overall attractiveness of the landscape zone;

Please note that the timely identification of the problem contributes not only to the complete restoration of the plant, in which a straight tree develops on the site further, and avoids its removal and all the associated hassle.

- Unscreakly pour the rolling-binding water to the water soil soil and roots become more movable.
- Choose a suitable place under the column on the side opposite to the bending of the tree.
- Discovered and hammer a post at a depth of 0.6-0.8 meters with a slope in the opposite direction relative to the tilt of the tree trunk.
Important! The height of the knocked pillars should be slightly lower than the tree itself. - As a support pillar, use a massive wooden bar or metal pipe.
Important! Do not try to straighten the curve from the first time. Do it in 2-3 stages with an interval of a few weeks, so that the roots do not damage and manage to go beyond the tree. - For stretching, use a wire, a soft braid or a clothesline, which tightly tie into one end around the tree trunk, and the other end is around the pillar.
- To preliminarize the rope with a tree a lining from a thick foam, rubber, rolled by a few times the linoleum. This will prevent rubbing and damage to the bark.
- In the process of folding the tree every 2 weeks, track so that the rope does not slip.
- A month later, adjust the slope of the tree, by pulling up the rope to the post.
Important! If the wood dimensions are significant, you will not be able to perform the actions to equalize the tree yourself. In this case, attract the process of relatives or neighbors in the country area.
