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??
