Good suggestion, the tree could still be saved probably. But the problem is how to straighten it back to its original position. I think there’s a proper way to do it, some expert might have ideas.
dig a hole twenty feet away, put in a 1/2 iron rod with end welded in eye hook, cement it in the hole… there you go. You have the pulling point and the fastening point, case closed…
That would be a Northfolk island pine lol. They get massive. Early explorers thought they would be a good source of masts on the sailing ships, but the timber was prone to snapping. I’d be thinking out the branches so the wind can blow through it instead of blowing it over.
Hummm. If you can stand it up, perhaps you can drive some small I beams into the ground and weld some kind of frame around it. No wires. I don’t know. I hope you can save it. The roots are ripped. Might be a lost cause.
AUSTRALIAN Norfolk island pine ,,, grrrrrr
They prefer acidic soils ,, I would guess Bohol in general has more Alkaline ( “Base” for Yanks ) soils?
Either way cut the blinken things up ,, including the smaller one nick named LEANING tower of Pizza.
Plant more trees don’t waste time and money on those
If you right the tree and it survives, and the landlord doesn’t want it, they can always have it cut down. If you just let it sit there and die, there’s no bringing it back once it’s dead. I very much doubt the landlord would want it to continue to be laying on the roof if it manages to survive by itself. I would say righting the tree would be the best course of action. Right now, the tree is doing whatever it can do to try to survive. The new growth continuing to flourish is an encouraging sign. The longer you wait to act, the more you risk damaging any progress the tree has made in the process of righting it and re-traumatizing the tree. Whatever you choose to do, I would start on it soon, before some user reports you for tree abuse. 😉
Interesting about that tree being a remnant from the dinosaur period.
Of course one has to remember, 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs were terminated.
The world looked very different, the continents, were nowhere near, where they are now!
Australia ( off the east coast of which , Norfolk Island( which by the way is less than 4 million years of age) sits, for example.
Was not far from Antartica( 85 million years ago, was actually joined, with Antarctica and South America!!), so was in the Antarctic circle.
However, since the climate was much milder then.
Most of the land area was covered by evergreen forest, similar I imagine, to the present forest around Siberia and northern Canada in the Arctic Circle.
Thanks for stimulating me guys, something to do at 3.00am !! Lol
BRIAN, truck load binders and a 4 foot pipe. Also you can’t cut anything off the crown of the tree. You might saturate the ground with water as you go to settle out the air.
But no matter how well you secure it a big typhoon can blow it into the house again. Not worth the amount or work, pesos and time to try and save. See if you can start a new one from that tree and plant it there to continue.
Common sense. Never plant any pine tree or pine type close to your house. Your looking to get your house seriously damaged or. Someone killed. I’d down that Dan. Thing
wisconsin hello yes i agree …stand it up ! guy ropes / wires stakes . we transplant white pines here not alot smaller [ buy hand ] . with my kids , we have done many ..
note ; you may choose to do selective , branch trimming ahead of time . to reduce
the weight .. hey we do… salamat ..

Ground anchors is what you are searching for. Giant auger like screws with eyelets.
who cares about the landlord permission, just fix it she won’t even know or care

Turnbuckles , 1 pusher , 2pullers , and 2 extras for when you turn tight.
Rent a wench 5 ton and cut log with wye branch on one end good size log to support as you raise the tree god luck!

Hi. Screw piles is the word you where looking for lol😊👍🇨🇦
Looks like the other tree is also growing at an angle .

See if you can find a Farm Jack.It will pickup that tree very quick and easy.
The roots are broken. Dont waste your time. The tree will never recover.
a couple come-a-longs
They get massive and really big, if the owner wants to spend the money on fixing it go for it, but you are right it’s her choice,
You guys need a hobby.
Definitely worth trying to save, but until the decisions made, water it well every day. It’s in shock, I would think
Norfolk pines are beautiful. They are everywhere here. They grow to a great height.
Just cut it down
Save the tree
If you fix it will you be responsible if it comes down again and kills someone ? Leave it to the landlord.
Isn’t that the type of tree that the needles are actually leaves that are tightly rolled up?
The tree is listening to you guys discussing it’s future, ask Prince Charles, LOL.
But no matter how well you secure it a big typhoon can blow it into the house again. Not worth the amount or work, pesos and time to try and save. See if you can start a new one from that tree and plant it there to continue.
I would cut it down and replant one in its place .
Cut it down. We used to have one pine tree that grew too tall planted by my American dad. It turned out to be dangerous.
brian ; they are called earth anchors …aka Skrew zilla ….lol

Cut it and make charcoal
