How to fix a leaning tree from a Hurricane.

This is a short tutorial on how to fix a leaning tree, we had an oak that was leaning heavily from Hurricane Ian in September of 2022.
This is how we fixed our leaning tree with items we had in the garage.
Highly recommend that this is done asap after a storm as the water table is still high and the ground is wet.

Its been 5 weeks since Hurricane Ian and the tree is doing good! Looks like we save it. DId you have a leaning tree you fixed?

[@mianaomipost9885]

Here after Hurricane Helene! Thank you! We’re in Georgia and never been hit so hard in my lifetime!😰

[@edulucero2917]

Yes it was crazy

[@MychelleSeymourHeyyouremember]

Awesome! You saved the tree. That's what I wanted to see.😊

[@JaysonJudson]

Tree saved! It’s been a month and it looks great.

[@pruthvirajsinhparmar4364]

Great work done by you and your wife .

[@DelilaRodriguez]

This is such great advice!

[@JaysonJudson]

Thanks, and the tree is still good 45 days later.

[@zx1701]

LMAO! Your comments about your wife helping were hilarious!

[@ericajohnson8418]

When I watched this video, I was thinking how respectful he was toward his wife, when 90% of these "macho" men DIY videos have to dis their wives, even (especially?) if they're not around. What is that about with this population of men? And then there was YOU... What does that say about you?

[@lvvry1855]

Thanks, just what I needed to see to fix my blown-over Emerald Cedar. Now I just need some strong guys to push it straight.

[@Ingeanous]

Good info, but I would reconsider where you have that oak planted.

[@JaysonJudson]

Wish I could, I live in an HOA and they are required to stay there

[@AlonsoMosly]

I make polispast ( blocks) system to rise bended trees. Bigger tree - more blocks.

[@DigitalIP]

Shame this wont work with a slightly larger river birch im looking to fix, Mostly because its in my backyard so not possible to get a vehicle there without sinking in. Guess i gotta keep lookin

[@valchris11]

Oaks are beautiful tree until they cause damage to the side walk and those roots also damage your sprinklers.

[@Noypi54494]

So how long do you keep supports up? I used stakes 3 in ground vortex stakes and 3 ratchet straps to upright a 5 year old maple tree and I concerned there is too much tension on the young maple. The tension is all on one side of the tree.

[@anjananaam9347]

Very very dangerous dude. You never wanted to put her in sight of ratchet rope!

[@JaysonJudson]

It’s really not a ratchet rope, it a tow strap with 32,000 pounds of breaking strength. I was confident that it pulled a jeep out of a ditch that it could handle the tree. And the angle of the camera, when I was moving she wasn’t near the tree. Appreciate you watching and your comment

[@werquantum]

Nice job. Always nice to see somebody who gives a shit.

[@JaysonJudson]

Appreciate it, was able to help a lot of the neighbors with the video, so we saved a lot of trees. Thanks for watching.

[@werquantum]

@@JaysonJudson How’s the tree doing?

[@JaysonJudson]

Doing well thanks for asking, probably should post a quick update on it.

[@werquantum]

@@JaysonJudson Good to hear. Yes, an update would be great.

[@JaysonJudson]

I will do one this weekend. Thanks

[@kylecrumpton1048]

What did you use to cut the notch in on the smaller 2 by4

[@JaysonJudson]

I didn’t cut a notch, I used screws to go from the 2 by 4’s that were on angle to the ones around the tree. Obviously making sure they never went into the tree. If you wanted to cut a notch, you could use a miter saw if you have one.

[@stevemoreno2238]

In 20 years, those trees will be busting up them sidewalks.

[@benhaze1010]

The councilor who took the credit for planting these trees is probably gone after 1-2 terms... short term gain ignoring long term pain...

[@rainysunday6186]

Why didn’t you just dig around the left side of the tree relieve the dirt and then the tree would’ve stood up by men pack it down after the tree straight
