Hi

Are there any easy to use straps that I can put around a potted tree to anchor to fencing so that it won't tip over? I want to strap the pot itself and not the fig.

Jumbo zip ties
Get the black ones they hold up to UV light, the white does not.
Also the jumbo size are pretty easy to release the buckle and reuse.

You can also run your low wire or whatever makes up the bottom of your fence to be slightly higher then the pot height than tuck the pot under to make a mechanical hold that way
 
Depending on what type of fence, bungee cords might be the fastest and easiest way (not the cheapest). You wouldn't have to tie anything because they have hooks on the end. I'm trying to remember what your fence looks like from videos I've seen. I think bungee cords would work.

I was out at the new property today. Way windier than where i am now because it's a flat 5 acres, so I'd still be worried that it would topple that way. And I have varying pot sizes so that might be a problem too

Great idea. Now to find 300 affordable bungee cords :D

Reactions: cdh
I don't like to anchor them to the ground because I like to move them to weedeat and mow the area. If they were near a fence, I could easily unhook bungee cords and move them. Thankfully there was only three trees that kept blowing over that I wanted to keep upright and those three needed up-potting. After I put them in bigger pots, they do not blow over anymore. There is a couple others that blow over but those are trees I'm thinking about culling anyway, so I'm not worried about those.
 
@GoodFriendMike @Figsee are there rebar anchors with a sharp tip? these pots are thick.
