When to Remove Stakes from Trees

Newly planted trees are typically staked to provide additional support until the tree has established a root system strong enough to serve as its own anchor.  These stakes are only intended as a temporary aid. It’s important to remove them a year after planting, or after one full growing season. If trees are left staked for too long, the stakes can end up hindering growth, so don’t forget about them!
