is similar to overprotecting a child learning to ride a bike. Eventually, children need to learn to ride on their own.
Movement allows trees to develop strength
Trees respond remarkably well to movement caused by wind. When a trunk begins to sway due to wind, the tree responds by developing increased structural integrity. As the trunk develops greater thickness, roots extend further down into the earth.
Natural movement is essential for the long-term structural stability of a mature tree. Without this movement, a young tree will likely remain slender. It
