We have an apple tree of the variety 'Winston Churchill' It produces
very sweet, tasty apples but the are small (maximum 2 inches in
diameter). The tree is about 40 years old. Is there anything that can
be done to increase the size of the apples?

Thanks

You should find out how big the apples are supposed to be. Have the
soil in the area around the tree tested and add whatever nutrients are
needed.
