Tree still rocking

Evening,
12-18 months ago I planted an apple tree (Malice- John Downey, 10-12 feet)
however it still rocks about in its original root ball. It is growing well
and has just had masses of blossom on it so, health-wise, it appears to be
ok.
I have planted another tree since and that's as solid as a rock so I was
wondering what the problem, and solution to, is with the JD.
Thanks,
Crag
Stake it, with a whacking great stake driven in at an angle so as not
to damage the roots,

and then a proper heavy duty tree tie.
