Mark,
I've my Kiowas that way - headed 'em at about 4 ft. Didn't need any
support/trellis - they stood fairly well on their own, but I'll admit
that they were *sort of* supported - and had most wind blocked by the
three rows of asparagus immediately to the southwest of them. Of
course, I had blackberries popping up in the asparagus bed, within a
year or two.
