The Oregon coast had a bit of a wind storm and now a tree in my front yard looks like a fence post that has been arguing with a bull.



Advice?... It is leaning a little, aimed at the street not my house thankfully.

First of all NICE SOCKS!
Ok how tall is it? And how much do you like this tree?
If you want to keep it around I would drive a few heavy spikes into the ground aboot 5-8 feet away (not in a row) and as high as you can reach using some sort of a buffer(old garden hose works well) fix guide lines to the truck and run them to the stakes and adjust them a bit a day till you move the tree to its origanal stance. Then tamp the earth around it and water it well. Should be ok in a couple of months. Unless there is subteranial damage. That could be bad.
Subteranial... You guys didn't know I knew any words that big did you?:bigok:

That sounds like a term used by a doctor to explain a procedure to the south side of a north bound person.

I thought they were South Park Jammies....:bird:

Cheesy I think your right. Good call my good man:bigok:

I was thinking of busting you for making a new word. But even if you did, I think we needed that word since it fit very well in the conversation. I think if we are going with the "new word" route, it should have 2 Rs in it.

Back on subject, I think hook it high up on the side you want to retilt it to, and pull it in place. Then fill the hole with clay if you have access to it. Otherwise maybe put sand in it to try to hold the pressure of the tree. Doesn't look like it would've broken anything "subterrainially" :saint:
