If you have felt fetal movement less often than what you think is normal, your health care provider may ask you to keep track of the fetusâs movements. Fetal movement counting (also called kick counts) is a test that you can do at home. There are different ways kick counts can be done.
Add the ties. Youâll need two ties to support your tree; the ties should be in the same location, but each will attach the trunk to the opposite stake. Wrap the flat side of the tie around the trunk, keeping it taut to provide support. Tie the wrap around the stake firmly, and then cut off the excess.
The ties should be fastened at less than one-third of the total height of the tree. Trees should not be totally restricted in movement; some movement is necessary to develop maximum wood strength. Most trees should be staked for a minimum period; for most trees, the ties may be removed after the first growing season. For large trees, two years of support may be necessary. For all trees, remove as soon as possible to minimize the adverse affects of staking. Some trees may require support staking.
