Hello,

This would be a good time to remind new growers that trees should not be
planted verticaly, but to lean the tree in the direction of prevailing
winds.

Just as you can walk and withstand a strong wind by leaning into it, the
same is true of trees.

Sorry to hear your tree blew down.

Later,
Tom
