Default RE: pruning apple trees...

Looks great ER - I suspect we'll see a bunch of pictures from you - I'm looking forward to seeing them.

Your crabapples are neat - we do not have any that look like that -

Our apples are from old orchards and "wild apples" - from the cow pastures of the 50's. We literally have thousands of trees - some apples are sweet - some sour. The apple in the picture is probably an old Macintosh or similar variety - Its old enough that it was probably planted. I know some are this variety - in the same orchard are a couple trees we call "pound sweet" - the apples from these trees get HUGE. Also - there are Northern Spies in the old orchards. We get some yellow apples that I think are an old variety. I'm not sure - but assume the wild varieties are cross-bred versions. Most of our apple trees have not been pruned in 30+ years

You can "edit" your post - but I don't think you can delete. What I do is "edit" it - top right corner of post - and delete the lines - and Write In - "duplicate post".

There may be another way - but I'm not sure.
