Default Pruning apples question.


"RiversideRed" wrote in message
...
Our orchard in Northumberland, which has around 40 various apple trees,
along with a lot of stories
or lack of fruit in the North and other areas, our trees produced 1 apple.
Question, as I prune each year, should I rest them or prune as normal.
Usually late January.
Thanks Mike. Near Hexham.

Crops were poor down here as well, I think part weather this spring during
flowering and part due to the very heavy crops the year before. I intend
pruning as normal. (I would have said 1 apple was plenty of rest!)
