[QUOTE="TNlandowner, post: 5246470, member: 3026"] I am looking for a solution for a wonderful persimmon tree that has grown diagonally over a food plot. This persimmon tree pours fruit out every year and is a deer hot spot as soon as the American Plum trees stop dropping fruit. (Maybe late September - early October). This tree will eventually pull the roots out of the ground. I cut overshadowing trees and the tree seems to be sprouting new vertical limbs toward the sunlight. I would like to brace the tree, providing support in an effort to keep it from falling. Maybe I can train one of the vertical limbs to become the dominate stem, which would help with problem, but would take a lot of time. I was thinking about forming an "X" with 4"x4" posts. I would place the posts under the persimmon tree and add a cross board above for strength and to prevent the legs from opening. Thoughts? Has anyone else built a tree brace to save a leaning tree?
