We have a weeping cherry tree that is about 4 to 5 years old and it is leaning. How can we fix it from leaning or do we need to replant?

At this point in time if you were to transplant the tree, it would die.
I just found this website: www.akron.com/
About the only thing that I can think of to do, is to try to start training it to grow upright. Place a stake on either side of the tree, attach a wire to each stake, cover wire with a garden hose to avoid harming the tree; run the wires in opposing directions, with the main tension on the side that you want the tree to start growing correctly. You will probably have a small disformity where the tree is growing incorrectly right now, but hopefully, the tree will start to grow upward with time.
We live in windy northwest Ohio, leaning trees are all too common. My husband uses metal fence posts, pounds them into the ground, using cotton rope he ties to the tree pull the tree to the correct position and secures the rope to the fence post.
