Join GreenBlue Urban and Arborgreen for a practical session on tree anchoring and what it takes to get establishment right in the ground. This webinar unpacks the ArborGuy system and the role effective guying plays in giving newly planted trees the stability they need to thrive — and why it's increasingly the go-to alternative to traditional hardwood staking, particularly for larger, root-balled trees where staking alone often falls short.

Below-ground guying secures the rootball rather than the trunk, allowing natural trunk movement that helps develop stronger, more resilient trunk structure — something rigid hardwood stakes can restrict. It's also discreet, removing the visual clutter of above-ground stakes and ties, and avoids the long-term risks of stakes rubbing, girdling, or being left in too long.

In this session you'll:

• Understand when tree guying is required and how it supports successful tree establishment
• Evaluate the advantages and limitations of different above and below-ground anchoring systems, including how they compare to hardwood staking
• Learn how to select appropriate anchoring solutions for challenging urban planting environments
• Explore best practice installation techniques and common specification pitfalls
• Review real-world examples of tree anchoring within modern urban tree pit systems

Whether you're specifying, installing, or maintaining urban tree plantings, this session will give you the technical grounding to anchor trees with confidence.
