Fig sapling leaning over? How to correct it?

10 years ago

I have a small fig tree that I ordered online, I cant remember where I bought it, but it had very little roots when it arrived and when I planted it, I removed the stake that it came with and its leaning over pretty horribly. I know it's best not to stake trees, but I am unsure whether this one will grow out of its lean. It looks pretty young so I have hopes for it, but I wasn't sure if it would be best to go ahead and stake it (with enough room that it can sway in the wind of course) or just leave it alone and maybe it will correct itself? If anyone knows more than me and could give me some advice that would be great! I've attached a picture below =) Thanks in advance.

Also, it is supposed to be fig violette de bordeaux, the leaves have always looked dry and shriveled no matter if i water it. I'm not sure why lol. Im hoping it just needs time to grow a better root system...
