Tree Ties

I usually get mine from the arboretum the strongest ones they have got. But they are not up to the job on one of my trees. After a few weeks the wind snaps them. Have you any ideas please ? Mrs Bouquet

This sort of fabric tie can be a better bet. It does rot in the end, but it doesn't tend to snap like plastic ties.

I tend to hoard any such fabrics I come across e.g. straps off bags and backpacks that are going in the bin. It might be worth having a rummage through the bottom of the wardrobe before you shell out

Thanks for that, what an interesting site. The picture of the tree "bandaged" to the stake made me chuckle, it is just what I need. I shall also do as you suggest and mooch around to see if I can find anything else that may do the trick. Thanks, Mrs B

Hello try old tights or stockings twist them slightly to make like a rope they last about a year and are easily replaceable jezza
