Take Root Chattanooga

Tree planting 101: remove all materials attached to the tree. (Non-organic/synthetic)

Did you plants trees in the last 1+ years?? This is your reminder to unstrap and unstake them! This tree was recently rescued after being trapped in the straps for probably years. Prolonged strapping can lead to girdling of the tree, and may even harbor fungus and wood boring insects. Not to mention the restricted ability for a tree to develop compaction and reaction in wood in response to wind load. Cut those straps!

If you look close enough, spring is on its way!
