If the local critters let you, you can keep one or two
of the fruit, but I would take off the balance until
your planned development is complete.

One of my wild collected crabapples is growing
apples--lots of them.
Dozens. It's been four years since I collected it,
and this is the
first year that it flowered. I've got apple trees in
the yard so I am
assuming that the bees pollenated it from them.

Anyway, I'm wondering if I should cut them off now
before they develop
much more and weaken the tree. Right now they're
less than 1/4" in
diameter. The tree is still in development--I'm
growing a new apex
which is healing over the trunk chop very well, and
I'm afraid that if
I allow the fruit to grow it might detract from this
process. Any
thoughts?
