Straightening a Wind-Uprooted Crape Myrtle: Step-by-Step

For a 20-ft crape myrtle leaning 30 degrees: dig under the lifted root ball, straighten the tree, backfill, and stake. Use a wide cloth band around the trunk (not wire, even padded) attached to guy wires. Keep guying system for 12 months until new anchor roots establish. Prune lower and upper branches to reduce wind resistance.
