Support is important for young fruit trees for a couple of reasons. Reducing wind-whip results in the trees producing sooner in life. Carbohydrates that are not invested in beefing up the trunk are available to set and ripen fruit. The other benefit is that many dwarfing fruit rootstock either have feeble anchorage or brittle graft unions. Running a support wire solves both of those issues.
