I agree with Champ, although the tree might let you straighten it some without disrupting the roots too much, but it probably makes more sense to wait until it drops its leaves. Make sure the soil is very wet and if the tree doesn't easily straighten carefully fork out as much root as you are willing to fight for and replant in a straight position. Metal electric conduit tubing makes an excellent, inexpensive and readily available stake. Lowes and Home D. carry it.

Brandon7, that sounds very condescending. I know a lot about gardening, but not trees. I took the best bits of info and put a reasonable idea on how to fix the tree. Also, currently I have two jobs and no time to take pictures and do research on what other info you think I should provide. That's why I asked here. If this tree didn't mean anything to me I wouldn't have taken the time to cut off every limb with a handsaw then roll the tree off the dogwood, and bruise up my legs so bad that people gave me funny looks at church. I did this in remembrance of Christ, I was taught growing up that this tree symbolized His crucifixion and after what the storm did to my family and I, I needed a personal resurrection of knowing I could actually do something about all the bad events that had happened. Thank you for the luck, but I've got a loving God that will teach me what I need to do to care for His creation.

You could put a sturdy stake about 2 feet away and pull them straight with a rope. Is there fruit? They could be wild seedlings that never amount to anything. You might be better just starting fresh with new trees. I know you don't want to hear that. Sorry. Bad timing for me. It's harvest time for my Anna apples, and I'm in the process of peeling, coring and slicing a ton of them. Almost no room left in the freezer.

If electrical wires are uncovered/unprotected enough that they touch our hands ... if that happens when they're plugged in to a live circuit, we'll have more to worry about than lead poisoning! Which means that they have need to be covered when not plugged in, as well, if they're to be of any use. ole joyful
