I've already got some tree stakes that are tall enough, those are what I was thinking about using. You sure Zipties won't fuck up the buds, though? We're up in the mountains and the wind is starting to really whip. Also, WHERE do you tie in relation to the buds? The one I'm really worried about has no stem showing for the budness. Under the buds, where I can see the stalk? Or do I need to tie off near the top? It's not that tall at all (MAYBE 3' tall, didn't have much time for growing this season).

Thanks in advance!
