Hi,

We always slightly lean newly planted trees into the prevailing wind direction. This helps in regards to wind damage.

5. Southwest injury is a big problem.
Could the problem be alleviated by training the trees to grow at a somewhat SW angle? That would make
the angle of the trunk more accute relative to the sun and thus less heating.. I'm not experienced with the problem, nor live in as cold a climate. Just a thought.
