I planted 2 bare-root yoshino last winter. They are fairing very well.
When I got them they were both ~3' and curved in an arc - like a "("
After planting and spring growth, one of them is straightening up some, still not vertical; but the other is still arched over and ends up almost horizontal.
Should I tie them up and straighten them up, or just let them go? I mean, a curved trunk would be interesting, but really:)

I'd gently stake it if I were you. Use strips of rags or something soft to hold it to the stake. Hopefully it will learn to grow straight. I love those trees. They have such a beautiful shape, but mine died after 15 years. So sad.
