Are you thinning the fruit? When they are about marble-sized, remove most of
the fruit, leaving only one every 6" or so. You will take off many many more
than you leave, it feels like infanticide, and it is very boring. But the
fruit that is left should get bigger, unless it is just the nature of the
tree to bear small fruit.

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

I have 2 apple trees also and they don't produce very good apples
either. I would also like some tips to make the apples grow bigger and
better.
