Hi I have another question. I have an old apple tree on the corner of
my property and it has never been really taken care of for many many
years. I am wondering how to bring it back to bearing good apples
again. Should I prune it? Should I fertilize it???? Should I mow
around it????
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Patty

Yes, check your library or check some websites on how to prune. Pruning is =
very important for fruit production. Also thinning your crop will help the =
tree produce better. Adding compost to the roots will only help but there i=
s also a time to use liquid fertilizer. Take the time to do some reading an=

Yes. You need another apple or crabapple tree, and you
have to have pollinators. Bees do most of the pollinating
work for apples, and for a backyard apple tree there are
usually enough wild bees around to do the job.

I have one mac. apple tree in my backyard and it produces a lot of fruit. H=
owever, there could be another tree in the neighborhood that I am not aware=
of. I am also not sure about how close they need to be for pollination. I =
have been told that it is a crab apple tree because it bears very small fru=
it, but I haven't done much research on that information. Wouldn't trade my=
little apple tree for anything. I love it.
