A tree anchoring apparatus comprising:

• (a) a perimeter anchor system fixable in the underlying ground, wherein the perimeter anchor system includes one or more ground anchor assemblies, each including a top end and a bottom end;
• and
• (b) a retention system comprising one or more retaining means attachable to the anchor perimeter at the top end, said retention system including tension adjustment means.

An apparatus for anchoring a stand of trees comprising a perimeter anchor system adjacent to the trees to be anchored so that at least one side of the root system receives support, said perimeter anchor system having a plurality of ground anchor assemblies fixable into the underlying ground around the stand of trees, and a retention system comprising one or more retaining means attachable to the perimeter anchor system at the top end of each ground anchor assembly.

An apparatus for anchoring trees comprising a perimeter anchor system adjacent to the trees to be anchored, the perimeter anchor system having a plurality of ground anchor assemblies fixable in the underlying ground, a retention system including one or more retaining means attachable to the perimeter at the top ends of each ground anchor assembly, and a means for increasing the horizontal area receiving the downward pressure asserted by the retention system.

An apparatus for anchoring a stand of trees comprising a perimeter anchor system and retention lines, said perimeter anchor system having a plurality of ground anchor assemblies fixable into the underlying ground around the stand of trees and anchor lines extending from the ground anchor assemblies around a portion of the trees at the perimeter of the stand, and the retention lines extending among the trees of the stand such that each tree is connected to at least two other trees or at least one other tree and one or more ground anchor assemblies.
