Staking Trees
Newly planted trees should be staked only if they are at risk of being blown over or uprooted before they become established. Other advantages of stakes are that they can prevent impact damage from lawn mowers and other yard care equipment, and they can also discourage deer from rubbing their antlers against the tree trunk.

Protecting Newly Planted Trees
Depending on the type of tree, you may need to protect it during its first year or two if it is sited in an open area exposed to prevailing winds.

Planting Magnolia
To avoid frost damage in the spring, plant magnolia in a site where it's not exposed to early morning sun. Drive 3 or 4 stakes into the soil equidistant from the tree out about 3 or 4 feet.

Planting Pine Trees
Most pines grow best in full sun, but the soft wooded pines tolerate light shade better than hard pines do. While all pines prefer soil that drains well, many can handle poorer soil.

Planting Hemlock
Staking - Stake newly planted Hemlocks only if they are at risk of being blown over or uprooted before they get established. Where prevailing winds are a potential problem, stake newly planted trees for up to a year.
