[IBC] crabapples!
One of my wild collected crabapples is growing apples--lots of them.
Dozens. It's been four years since I collected it, and this is the first year that it flowered. I've got apple trees in the yard so I am assuming that the bees pollenated it from them. Anyway, I'm wondering if I should cut them off now before they develop much more and weaken the tree. Right now they're less than 1/4" in diameter. The tree is still in development--I'm growing a new apex which is healing over the trunk chop very well, and I'm afraid that if I allow the fruit to grow it might detract from this process. Any thoughts?
