Apples!


The branches are heavy with apples in my orchard, which I think dates back to colonial times. The sheep, goats and deer will have full bellies. I don't spray the trees and often wish I had time to tend to them.

Your tree are old, no doubt, but most likely date back to the early 20th century. Here's a link to a picture of a tree that was planted in 1826...http://columbiariverimages.com/Regions/Places/old_apple_tree.html
One thing you could do that would help the trees immensely would be to prune them--even as old as they are, you can increase their health and productivity immensely by pruning them in March.
