I stake mine.

Years back before chit got higher than giraffe puzzy...

I bought several bundles of 1/2” emt/ conduit.

10’ long , cut in half.

Made a driver for em. Hammering will bend them.

Tie up each limb with bailing string. Biodegrable kind. It’s earf day. Or it’ll wrap up around bush hog when seasons over.

When they get taller than the stake and bend over, I’ll lop em off.
