I like the tree, and I would like to save it. I planted it last spring
as a four-foot stick, and it's already grown to about 10 feet tall and
borne fruit once. Is that abnormally fast growth? Would that help
account for its breaking? It broke below the graft, and it's next to a
fence, so it's not really unprotected. It lost a limb earlier this
year, so maybe it's weak-wooded.
