Hi all,

Just moved to a new house, the garden is a little un-cared for - but
only for a year or so while the move completed. Before I start hacking
around too much I need some plant IDs, photos he

The final picture is of an apple tree that looks to have had aphids on
it for some time. I've washed the worst of them off but is it beyond
saving?

No, there's no problem. Apple trees can take a lot worse damage than
this.


Tempted to prune heavily in winter to remove the damaged areas and go a
year without any fruit. Good idea? Lots of advice for controlling
aphids on the Net but not a lot for helping a tree to recover.

Not many comments on the photos, seem to have stumped a few people :-)
