I actually used those things when they were babys (about 3 footers) to keep the dogs from fucking with them and ended up pulling them out when I thought they were safe.
Damn, I wish I would have left them in. It didnt even cross my mind to use them to help branches stay up till you just mentioned it fdd. Next grow.

In general, windbreaks are effective up to a distance of 10 times the height of the windbreak. So for example a windbreak 1 m (3 foot) high will provide protection from wind for a distance of up to 10 m (30 foot) from the windbreak. This gives plenty of scope to place the windbreaks far enough away from a bush so that soil fertility is not effected but wind protection is effective.do they come 10 feet tall?
With careful tying off just thought it might help

i have fences and sheds on 3 sides. the problem is my trees are 7 feet tall. the wind blows down on them.
Ye i seen how big your bushes are in some of your pics im sure its a real problem because of their size and weight just thought that maybe it would be a cheap way to provide a bit of extra protection
thank you very much my friend.

I also had an idea that is pretty extreme but it may work.thank you very much my friend.
If you can imagine the design of a skateboard ramp you could build that kind of structure cheaply out of plywood,if you built 4 of them and placed them around your plant and weighted the bottoms with sandbags the wind would be redirected up the concaved shape
