Can I still straighten my tree?

Question

I have a 6' tall , about 4" trunk circumference on my shade tree. It is about 6 years old but is leaning because of the wind. Can I still straighten it and how much pressure should I put on the pull to get it upright. It is leaning about 15 degrees not much but as it grows it could be challenging. Help.

Answer 1

Yes, it's not too big to straighten.  Just attach a rope or a wire to it and leave it there for a couple of years.  Make sure you have padding where the rope makes contact with the trunk of the tree.
