Should A Growing kousa Dogwood Be Tied Up?

Question

Afraid of wind and rain damage.

Answer 1

It shouldn't be necessary unless you live in a really windy area. If you decide to just know that it won't grow into its natural form. As they get older, branches will hang a little. Pruning keeps the tree healthy when it is done at the right time, so a broken branch, if it ever does occur, will be replaced by others.
