Prevent tree girdling in the orchard.
In young orchards, support is critical. But the wrong tie, or the right tie installed too tight, can restrict growth, damage bark, and quietly reduce long-term yield potential.
1. Spread the Load — Use a tree strapping with a wider profile to reduce pressure points against the trunk, protecting the bark as the tree grows.
2. Allow for Movement — Allowing for natural sway and growth allows the rope or strap to shift slightly, changing where it contacts the tree.
3. Adjust Ties Often — Growth is constant. Regular inspection prevents constriction before it impacts nutrient flow.
These details may seem minor early in the season, but they compound quickly once the workload increases. Your CWC SalesPRO works with you ahead of time to ensure you have the right tree support products aligned with your field practices. Strong orchards aren't just planted, they're protected.
