How to support my Pineapple tree

4 replies

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 23/07/2023 14:44

I have a pineapple tree which is about 8 foot tall. It is leaning at an alarming angle and now encroaching on our shed. I looked more closely at it's base today and it is virtually growing parallel to the ground and then drifting skyward. Any ideas what I can do to pull it back. I don't want to chop it down but will end up doing so if I can't pull it back.

Have you got a photo of tree and surrounding area?

@Ohdearwhatnow4 just realised after posting I can't add photos because this is my first post under this name (because I couldn't get on my old name 😒). I'll see if I can get them on using my old phone

What about a support stick with caging round it, and tie the caging to something adjoining and see if you can pull it over

@Ohdearwhatnow4 I haven't got anything to tie it to unfortunately. I was wondering if I could somehow peg into the ground but the trunk is quite thick now. I have had a flash of genius since posting though - I might try the Japanese method where they wedge posts underneath it and gradually push it up into a better position.
