🌱🪴 Did you know the key to using a stake is eventually removing it? ​ ​ By not leaving it in for too long it will help promote the tree to support itself! For most small trees, leave it staked for 12 months so the roots are anchored in the soil before removing. For larger trees in windy areas this may take longer, so adjust the attachment from the tree to the stake so it doesn’t damage your tree. ​ #ABCMyGarden​ ​ 📺Watch the latest episode of Gardening Australia, on ABC iview: https://bit.ly/
