Staking Trees! When, How & For How Long????
Texas A&M regarding planting a tree, they advise: For most trees,
staking is not recommended; however, if the tree trunk is not sturdy
enough, use two stakes, one on either side of the tree, and give the
trunk support for the first year only.

According to the Forestry Extension:
Strong stem formation is promoted by movement of the stem. The duration
of staking depends on the tree size and how it responds; again, remove
the staking as soon as the tree can support itself. Almost all trees
staked beyond two years, have greater probability of breakage than
trees which are staked for shorter periods of time.
