From a fellow grower: Last summer in the Northeast was rainy and had wind gusts up to 70mph. 2 plants were completely knocked down, in quarters, each side that had been trained to grow outwards for optimal sunlight went down.
Does anyone have suggestions for some hardware to support the plants?
Make a triangle in the ground around your plant and pound some good support stakes in and run rope about half way up the plant like they do with palm trees Iām the same in the northeast happy growing

I would get star pickets three of them i would knock those in the ground about a foot and half deep making a triangle shape and putting support wires from each post
