Why did the Arryns try to grow a Weirwood in the Eyrie?

I was re-reading a Game of Thrones..(tons of foreshadowing in the first book)

In Catelyn's chapter ( the chapter where Bronn battles Ser Vardis Egen in Tyrion's trial by combat)..she mentions that there is a small garden in the Eyrie and "no matter how much dirt they brought up from the Vale a Weirwood Tree would not take root"

The Arryns are 100% Andal and the purest blood of all the Andal houses! Why would they attempt to grow a Weirwood Tree? When re-reading, I thought that was strange. The Andals destroyed on hte Weirwoods because they believed they were used by the First Men & the Children as a weapon.

So why would the Arryns want such a weapon inside their impregnable castle?
