You did a great job there. Give it a good watering and treat it like a newly planted tree with regards to giving it a bit of extra water for a few months until it re-establishes itself and settles in, and I reckon it'll recover just fine.
It'll survive, I had a similar thing happen to a lemon tree once. Give it plenty of seaweed feed over the next few months and summer, that'll encourage it!
I think it'll be right. This video makes me think more about where I'll plant out my orchard. Quite a sheltered block thankfully, but the sunniest spot may be the windiest. Southern Tassie.
Yes, beware of wind here in Tassie - it can really take toll on fruit trees. Can you create a wind break so that you can still take advantage of the sun?
@@homesteading I may have to think about fencing in to the north a few metres high. The winds are not common, but they can be very strong. Thankfully very sheltered from NW, W and S.
What will you do in terms of watering and feeding? Do you leave it as-is, or will you do a bit of soil maintenance, mulching, etc to protect whatever roots that are still intact?
I think you have saved the tree. I had an olive in a large pot that did the same with same cause I pulled it upright used thick rope to tether and pruned back it not only survived it fruited this year for first time not huge but letting me know it’s ok.
Olive trees seem to be indestructible! We had to remove one - I pulled it out with the tractor and dumped it in our forest...2 years later it is still alive (sitting on top of the soil!) I think I will have to find somewhere to replant it!.
Keep us posted over the next few months to see how well it comes back. Thanks for another good video.

Poor tree :( I think it will heal and come back healthy again. Nature is pretty incredible with things like that.
Fantastic job. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
Love your property John, beautiful orchard 😍I like your pot around the cabbage idea will try that tomorrow 😊

John you've come into your own!
Great video. Repair/construction videos are a favourite of mine. I bet it’s going to be just fine……
Great save mate 👍 🇦🇺

Good job John, I think it’ll be right, you may want to keep an eye on that wire pushing down on the tree, it could restrict the growth.
give her love & maybe a good feed & she will revive!❤
Tree definitely saved. It will survive.
I'd be shocked if that tree doesn't survive. It's early in the season, plenty of time for new roots and growth as the weather warms up.
I love grapefruit! mine has lost its new fruit each year from damaging winds in NSW Illawarra

yes
Did you dug behind the avocado trees as I suggested
@10:27 man, I did not like you standing over the wire in tension across - in case something let go - you would have been in a bit of pain !
Ouch!
I was thinking the same thing. Fast way to lose an eye!
