Help!
My purple leaf plum tree, which was planted about 15 feet from my the corner of my house - front yard, is now at about a 75 degree angle. The tree placement puts it directly in the path of the wind tunnel created between my and my neighbors home. The prevailing winds are forcing the tree to lean forward. I'm afraid I'll eventually lose it if the right combination of wet ground and wind hit at the same time. Tree caliper is about 3.5 inches and tree is 15 foot high, planted four years ago.
I think I should stake it, but the tree is pretty big. Any suggestions would be helpful.
