AO SmithThis Gravenstein apple tree is sort of a long term #GardenFail. Years ago now, the previous owners missed a couple of pruning years in a row due to illness. And then we missed another one when we moved in a late Feb time frame.
The tree became unruly and needed both winter and summer pruning to get it more manageable, although some years we forget and we go backwards again. However, even with those problems plus heavy deer browsing the tree is a prolific producer to the point that many apples are wasted each year.
