I got those green plastic over metal posts from Home Depot, some have lasted over 15 years on several different plants. They rust slowly from ends. OK for my small yard, but maybe not economical for your large one.
In the wind, a big limb fell off a liquidamber rotundaloba and fell right on top of two-year old Pinkerton. Bent the stem to the ground. But it didn’t snap. I righted it and it’s thriving with flower buds in January, which seems weird.
