<p class="MsoNormal">What we THOUGHT might be feasible would be:<br>
Hole in the ground, as mentioned, with guy-lines of braided stainless steel attached to the ground attaching to the tree at about mid-height.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As to someone else’s note on fundraising – we only considered this because we had a tree donor.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this time we use a fake metal tree that doesn’t need to be watered with significantly different physics than a live tree. This would be our recommendation for cost and safety reasons, although they are very expensive to acquire. We found
a nearby municipality looking to toss theirs because of minor damage. We did a fairly easy repair and got a tree for free.<o:p></o:p></p>
