Staking and tying young trees used to be an automatic part of planting, but not anymore. Research has shown that trees grow up sturdier and healthier if they're left to move with the wind. Experts now recommend staking only if a tree will be subjected to strong gusts.

on 5/30/2007 The easiest way to stake a tree in five minutes is a Brooks Tree Brace. www.brookstreebrace.com
Not only will they install in five minutes, when you are done with them, simply take them off the tree and put the brace back in your garage. Not only will it save you time and frustration, but it will save you money when you reuse it.
