Hello!

My wife and I bought a place last year, and the back yard was in very rough shape. While we were removing all the brush we found a tree that had been propped up with a stake, so we figured it must've been planted on purpose.

After trimming everything away, and pulling off all the English ivy that was choking it, we managed to identify it as an apple tree!

Since last summer it's grown an extra meter or so, and is now about 2.5m tall. However to me it looks a bit droopy like it's having a hard time supporting itself. What can I do to help this tree along?

Thanks for any help, I greatly appreciate it.
