Wrap cable with hose around tree and stake to ground on a 45° angle. Use a long turnbuckle and a chain to periodically tighten. When turnbuckle runs out of adjustment, loosen all the way back out and take up slack with chain and start all over. Usually takes several years depending on size of tree and severity of lean. Use at least 1/4" cable and strong chain. Be sure to drive metal stake very deep in ground, 2-3 feet, and at opposite angle of tree lean. 1/4 x 2" angle iron works best. John Sharpe South Carolina

use a piece of 2inch square timber about 12 inches long if for raised beds or as long as you need it to be for anything else then saw an angle on all 4 sides of one end and you have a stake you can drive into the ground ( or a vampire if that's your wish)

To be "Burnt at the Stake" is to be tied to a piece of wood pounded in the ground (A "Stake") and to be lit on fire. Burning at the stake is is when someone is tied to a wooden stake and the stake is set on fire. You burn to death.
