A year or two back, I planted a small but well-formed young weeping redbud. The little guy puts on nice new growth each year and seems to be thriving, but also seems determined to be prostrate rather than weeping; the majority of its small limbs actually sit on or near the ground, and the little trunk is only upright for about 6-8". I've tried to gently train it to a stake to raise more of the trunk upright, but it resists this and I don't want to break or damage the tree. Any suggestions? I've never tried training a young tree, so please keep all advice on the "Tree-training for Dummies" level (lol). Thanks in advance for any help-
