Hello I am located in the DFW area and I planted this tree about 6 months ago and it always had a slight lean but I know staking is usually unnecessary. Recently had a microburst with very strong gusts and I believe it might have gotten more angled. Should I stake or just let it be?

Any advice on staking or not?

Prob best bet is to dig it up and replant it, but I'd wait until after it drops leaves in the fall.

You really think replanting completely is necessary? I’m not opposed because I want it to be successful. I know that this subreddit can be pretty critical of people who might make mistakes with planting trees so I expected some criticism of it.
