Anchoring and fastening
While young trees in their natural habitat are protected by the surrounding trees, an urban tree is typically left to its own devices. It is exposed to the city’s wind tunnel effect, colliding cars, vandalism and much more.
Underground anchoring is invisible and therefore does not interfere with the design appearance. This method effectively hinders the root ball from shifting, allowing the roots to establish themselves in the surrounding soil.
Fastening with staves will not damage the tree if performed correctly. What is crucial is that the fastening system is removed after the tree has established a good root hold, typically after 2-3 years.
