The Rootball Wire Tree Anchor System is a professional underground tree anchoring solution designed to provide maximum support and stability to newly planted saplings, rootballed, and containerised trees. Ideal for urban planting, farmland, forestry projects, and conservation schemes, this system ensures tree roots are protected from movement and damage during the critical establishment phase.
The kit uses high tensile wire, SG galvanised anchors, rubber rootball protectors, and galvanised ratchets, distributing load evenly and keeping the tree securely anchored while allowing precise positioning of each anchor point. Available in multiple sizes, the system supports light standard to semi-mature trees ranging from up to 2.5m to 12m in height, making it a versatile solution for professional tree planting projects.
The Rootball Wire Tree Anchor System is easy to install with recommended tools such as ratchet tensioners, handdrive rods, and loading jacks, making it suitable for contractors, councils, estate managers, landowners, and forestry teams managing urban, rural, or greenfield sites.
