I had a lemon tree blow over in my clayey soil, but all my nanners stood up to the 60 mph winds in a much airier soil. I believe the ammended soil supported many more roots than the clayey soil, providing more anchoring effect.

You could plant the taller varieties closer to a wind break like the house or fence, or you could lop off some leaves just before a storm hits.

Good luck!
