In my new garden, there is an elderly apple tree that has
obviously been pruned severely at times in the past. It is
still growing and produced a reasonable crop of apples this
year (although not that tasty!).

However there is a lot of dead wood on the tree at the tips of
shoots, although further down the shoots it is growing quite
well.

There are a couple of pictures he

I'm noy sure wthether to pune out the dead shoots completely or
jsut cut them back to just above a growing bit.

Help!


Photos won't load for me??
