I have a winged elm that is leaning over after Hurricane Irma. The roots have pulled out of the ground partially on one side. (See pics)This happened last year on a smaller scale after Hurricane Mathew,. I would like to try and save the tree. My thoughts were to use a duckbill earth anchor, use a tree strap and a come along pullet and try and pull the tree back slowly a few cranks at a time to allow the roots to re-establish. The soil is still quite wet. My questions are:
Is this the best approach?
Do I need to do anything to the roots? Remove grass, add soil etc?
Should I anchor on other sides?
Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.
