uprighting partially windblown ornamental trees

[tree-fancier123]

had a few days of high winds in the south,

anyway was just asked about saving a conifer - its maybe 14ft high cypress type thing, blown about 20deg off vertical on Sunday, no rootplate up.

I tied it using customers rope to a nearby arbor at the concrete base. There is a breezeblock wall about 3ft behind the tree and I said to customer on a nicer day it could be tied back with eyebolts. I now think this was silly as eyebolts likely to come out. The wall could be drilled through and I could weld up some bar with an eye on, but in a gale would the tree pull the wall down?

Can tirfor and ground anchor to upright the tree before attempting to guy it somehow, but is it use the wall or try something else in the ground?

Try one of these 222078190595 eBay number and some strong poly rope to a padded webbing strap or heavy duty tree tie - will save the wall taking the strain. Tied a neighbours heavily leaning 18ft unknown type of tree (from New Zealand), gradually pulled it upright and 8 years on its got a nice strong root plate and is around 25ft - all healthy ?
