Apple tree Care

Just got an allotment after a three year wait, I have found two mature and two immature apple trees, Not sure if they are cookers or dessert, There are small fruits forming and the base are covered in weeds. How best to care for them between fruiting and picking please? Cheers ears. CJ.

Deer & Apple Trees?!

What should I do to keep the deer and other animals from eating my newly planted apple trees. The trees are only about 4' and very small. We live in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan and on a ravine that gets quite alot of deer traffic.

crab apple tree

We have an old crab apple tree. While there are some dead limbs in the tree, a tree of similar size and age recently died and had to be taken down.

Apple Tree questions

I have a large old apple tree in my back yard. I'm guessing it's ~100 years old based on the neighborhood and the number of growth rings on a smaller tree near it that I had to cut down a few years ago.

No apple blossoms on apple trees this year?

My apple trees have very few blossoms on them this year. Last year they were loaded, this year next to nothing. I'm in the mid Wilammette Valley, Oregon. Anyone else in the Northwest observing this?

Bark Loss on Apple Tree Limbs

While I hear many stories of a 300 year old oak tree, I 've never heard of a 300 year old apple tree. So say good bye and remove the apple trees by digging them up and burning every single piece of them. You don't want the diseases it harbors to infect your new stock.
