Description

Stake for survival. Until a tree is firmly rooted in its new home, it may be in danger of being uprooted by things like windstorms. This is why we encourage growers to stake new trees for protection. This stake-and-strap system holds your tree in place while also allowing movement as the tree grows. For best results, install tree stakes at, or soon after, planting time. Strongly recommended for young dwarf trees. Each Tree Stake includes one sturdy fiberglass rod and one 3/4" wide x 10 1/2" long flexible strap.

  • Stake for young trees: 48" tall x 5/8" around
  • Stake for robust young trees: 62" tall x 5/8" around

OMG these are great for smaller trees, wish the large ones were in stock. They are a must have in hurricane zone, through 4 hurricanes have not lost one single young tree thanks to these stakes. They are great!

Better long term support easy to use, best for my windy area
Mark B on Oct 18, 2020
Easy staking for a very young tree. Important to stake properly when young to assure a straight strong tree. It's important to allow movement-if staked to prevent movement, you don't get a strong trunk. Some movement encourages a strong trunk.

I have fruit trees and I want them to grow straight and be stable.
Dulcie M on Aug 4, 2020
Easy to use - all in one unit. I have all the apple, peach, pear, and cherry trees I ordered from Stark already staked with this 48" tree stake. It is a great and good looking visual reminder/warning that the tree is there and helps to protect the trees from being hit with the hose being pulled (also have 3 wooden stakes in triangles around the trees to prevent that). The reason I ordered 10 more is to ensure that I have them for future orders! Thanks! DuncansDad

Two-fold - To help to ensure that the trees grow straight and to provide a visual warning/impact that something is planted there.

Absolutely a must here in South Carolina in high winds for new and even older trees. Have saved all my trees through 3 hurricanes.

I like to do things the right way the first time. Plus why spend all that money on the trees just for a gust of wind to take all that work away?

We have a great spot that provides the full sun needed for apple trees; however it's in an open area that can get very windy. I want to ensure the tree survives its first year without getting damaged due to wind.

Why not use farm steel posts for staking trees?
Cal G on Nov 23, 2019
BEST ANSWER: That???s not true The tree must be able to move back and forth with the wind to a certain extent or the trunk and root system will never strengthen properly
The description does not say how long the stakes are. I would like to know before I order this product. How long are the stakes?
Suzanne L on Oct 15, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The description notes that there are two sizes: 48" and 62". Please see the "Choose your option" drop down box to choose the height that fits your tree best.
Planting patterns for ten English walnut trees?
H McMillan on Aug 17, 2018
BEST ANSWER: These trees grow about 50' tall, so keep them away from power lines and buildings. I guess it's a matter of personal preference, but we plant in a scatter pattern to give a grove a natural look. Most are about 40' apart, but we vary that a bit, again to get a more natural pattern. Hope this is helpful. Good luck! Mary Sue from Virginia
Typically how long should a 2 inch tree stayed staked ? 2 inches when planted
Marshall A on Apr 17, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I have found that there is no harm in allowing the tree stake to stay in place support a new tree until the flexible attachment strap is no longer sufficient to go around the tree. At that point the tree should have approximately a 4inch diameter and be quite able to support itself, even in a thunderstorm. Hope that help. Best regards.
Do I need to stake a small semi dwarf apple tree?
susan l on Apr 16, 2020
BEST ANSWER: i would, but ultimately it depends: will it be exposed to strong winds/rains or might animals just push it flat? even if you wanted to pot it, i should think a tree stake would help it keep upright. you do not have to bind it tight, so that mild winds could help the trunk develop flexibility. may be you could use three stakes to create a social space? ;-)
How do you deter squirrels and deer from apple trees?
J. K on Jun 20, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Fencing is really the best option. Some people use Liquid Fence with good results. Keeping fallen fruit off the ground also helps. Some people have strung old CDs together (kind of like a child's mobile" and tied it to a tree branch. They rattle in the wind the scare the deer.
Can I use this on a 2 year apple tree?
Beth K on Jul 3, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I have them supporting several dwarf trees that are between 2 and 4 years old. Eventually the caliper on the tree will exceed the size of the flexible attachment, but you could then use two flexible attachments if you wanted to continue to use a support. However, usually a tree that outgrows the attachment size can stand on its own without the need of a support. Hope that helps.
Do I only need one per (dwarf peach) tree?
Hannah B on Mar 28, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I do not have any peach trees, but I have planted several dwarf cherries, apples, and pears. I have only used 1 stake per tree and they are doing great. The strap is adjustable for tensioning and growth.
Are these free stakes solid fiberglass?
Jerry G on Aug 31, 2020
BEST ANSWER: They are plastic. I love them. The only ???negative??? is they tend to be far from the tree unless you stack in the root ball. I do wish they curved these in towards the tree more, but I buy these all the time.
does any one have a means to keep squirrels and birds out of fruit trees?
Bill S on Apr 9, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I use the bird netting that is available at garden centers and from seed and nursery catalogs. It is marginally effective against birds though no matter how well you think you have it fastened, a bird always seems to be able to get in and then can't figure out to get back out. I have dwarf or semi-drawf trees and it is difficult for an arthritic, old man to get it on those. It would be very difficult to cover a full sized tree. I've never had a problem with squirrels so have no idea how it would work against them. Good luck!

Room for Improvement or Inovation
When ordering a dwarf fruit one has to bare in mind that the length of the tree stake far exceeds the height of the dwarf tree. That being the case I can not, at this time take advantage of the rubber stirrup at the top of the tree stake. I had to install my own stirrup approximately twelve or fourteen inches below the height of the tree stake I ordered in order to utilize the tree stale I ordered. As the tree grows, perhaps in another year or two I will probably be able to get full utilization of the tree stake I ordered. Another lower stirrup would have been more useful.

Wise Investment
The first time I needed a tree stake, I came up with the idea of essentially building my own. It was very time-consuming and annoying. Then I determined that I should go ahead and buy Stark Bro's tree stake. No hassles and so very simple! (Also, superior to my homemade contraption.) Even if you live somewhere that's fairly sheltered from strong wind as I do, each year there's usually some big gusts and you'll want a stake. I am extremely pleased with the functionality and ease of this product.

Great Stake for Small Trees
After trying several other types of staking apparatus, I discovered this one. It worked so well on my dwarf cherry that I bought another for my dwarf apple. They won't be sturdy enough for a large tree.

Great support
Theses are great-very sturdy and easy to use. I've mostly used them to straighten my trees up a bit and to help with stability in the high winds in the spring and fall. Highly recommend.

Very easy to use
I like this tree stake a lot. It was very easy to install and I like the adjustable, flat, rubbery strap that attaches to the tree. It keeps the tree straight without scraping or hurting the trunk and the strap is easy to undo and move as the tree grows.

Works as expected
The tree stakes that I purchased with my trees works as expected. It is very windy in Arizona so they have been invaluable in protecting the trees.
