We are closing on a new property first week of march. There are some nice apple trees there already but I dont know if they are still producing. They are pretty big and look as if part of them are starting to rot/die. They are being choked out by the woods around them. Do I stand a chance of prunning them back to a point where they will produce apples again or should I start over with some new trees. It looks at though there was an old orchard that some pines have taken over and choked them out. The apples could be a nice food source for the area. Any help would be great.
