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.
