How to prune an old apple tree

Is there any chance of me getting it back to something sensible so I can get fruit (which are BTW quite nice) or should I just give up and stew windfalls? If it's as old as I think it is, leave it. You can prune apples back very hard, but old ones don't always respond well. They are not long-lived trees. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
