Hi,
I have used the micro pore tape with some success. Just tape it up you have nothing to lose.

One of my marketmore did this when it was about 18" high.  I tied it up on a larger stake.  My OH says it is growing well but has no fruit on it as yet, unlike the others that were sown at the same time.
