True/False: It is not always necessary to stake or guy newly planted trees.

True
False

The correct answer is: False

The correct answer is true. When newly planted trees are installed, they do not always require staking or guying, depending on certain conditions. Factors such as the tree species, size, root ball integrity, and environmental conditions play crucial roles in determining if support is necessary. In many cases, if the tree is well-anchored, has a sufficiently large root ball, and is planted in a location free from high winds or other environmental stresses, it may stabilize on its own without additional support. Additionally, over-staking can hinder the natural development of the tree’s root system and structural stability. Thus, while there are instances where staking or guying is beneficial or necessary, it is not a universal requirement for all newly planted trees.
