    I just planted 3 12 ft. Atlas Blue Cedars.The Garden Center said I did not need to stake them. But the wind is bad and they are moving at the base. Should I stake them?

    Good idea to stake (with a short stake) just for the first year until they get their root systenm established.

    Did you remember to spread out any coiled roots they might have had?

    Yes: Root-bound nursery stock very common.
