Hi, first post. I've been reading the forums and reading through a few interesting threads, and wanted to share a few photos of a tree in my parents backyard.
I've included a few pictures. The tree isn't too large, planted roughly 8 years ago, but I was hoping to gather some opinions on whether the tree appears salvageable (can be pulled upright through rope, pulley, alternative method), or, if it's too far gone? Or, if it will be years of work to correct and worth the effort?
>Tree in question is a Guava tree (malaysian?)
>Planted ~ 8 years ago
>Severe leaning, growing south towards the sun
>Southern California
There are two large Redwood trees, one directly NW and one directly NE from this tree. I was considering tying a rope to both trees and pulling it up right by cranking a ratchet pulley setup to both (maybe ratchet every few weeks). But, I really don't know what I'm doing, or how long that would take. It seems like it would take a long time.
Any and all input, feedback is appreciated!
