Lavender Twist weeping Redbud

[Doug Alexander]

I have a Lavender Twist weeping Redbud that I planted last year. The trunk is a little bigger around than your thumb. Since it has grown leaves this year it leans way over. I am not sure if I need to stake it. If so, how is this done?

[Mark Webber]

You can stake it if you want, or if you want it to grow side ways you can do that to, its your choice

Mark, the only thing I worry about is will it break in a strong wind?

Ok staking to support is fine, but geting plant to support itself is important, so let the plant move some what with training time
