How are apple trees cared for and maintained?
Mature apple trees that have produced fruit for many seasons require an extra degree of care to stay healthy and productive. They can easily become overgrown or vulnerable to infestation by insects or pests. Maintaining a yearly pruning schedule is one of the best ways we maintain and keep our apple trees healthy. We occasionally use fertilizer underneath our trees to address any nutrient or pH imbalances. If problems occur with mice or insect damage, we protect our trees by installing guards at the base.
