I had some help yesterday planting 30 fruit trees from Cummins - with appropriate social distancing, of course - and some of the trees were...less than straight, when all was said and done. So, how important is it to have the grafted top section pointing straight up? I've planted a bunch of trees over the years, but I always make sure that they're straight myself, so I have zero experience here. Should I dig them up and replant? Put a couple stakes inside the cage and tether them? Just wait and they will self correct? Or am I nitpicking? Between spraying, screening trunks, holes, weed cloth, pea gravel, and cages, there's quite a bit of effort, and I'd hate to waste it on a simple thing like this.
