The majority of my original plantings (starting in '95-'96)were on a combo M9/M111 rootstock. I have a good clay soil, but much of the orchard is squishy wet throughout most of the winter and early spring. Many of those original M9/M11 trees do not have good anchorage - leaning really badly - there are a couple that are probably at 45 degrees or more. Don't know if that's a function of the rootstock, or just my wet soil conditions. I'v toyed with the idea of jacking 'em back into place, but probably won't even bother.
