GuyingMany people are unfamiliar with the term guying. They do not even know that it is a technique for trees. So, as for what it does exactly... To help you, let's mention that there is a simple and widespread measure that is part of this technique: it is a tree staked by means of a stake planted parallel in the ground, and attached to the tree. This common device is used by the tree while it waits for its roots to grow and can then perform the function of keeping it stable. Thus supported, the young plant can resist many bad weather conditions. However, this is far from being the only technique concerned with guying. Of course, there are much more complicated techniques. It is therefore relevant to see together different cases that lend themselves to guying.
Problem of structureThe conditions for the development of city trees and forest trees are not at all the same. The former enjoy more space; the latter live in a denser environment. However, urban places favour a daily reception of more light than their rural arboreal counterparts. This results in faster growth for urban trees. This situation can lead to complications in the form of a disturbing destabilization of the structure of a tree. This may be due to a crown size that has become too large in proportion to the lower branches. In such a case, it is not uncommon for a competent combination of pruning and guying to save the situation.
