Talkback: Growing fruit - pruning apple trees in summer

CaeTCaeT Posts: 3
I have what I believe is a Bramley apple tree. It has white fur growing on some of the old growth. Any solutions would be appreciated.

  • Beginner! -advice required please! I have a cox's orange pippin apple tree which I planted last autumn at the top of my garden where it gets plenty of sun, Its about 6 foot but clearly a new tree. I have been reading articles on pruning etc, and wondered if I ought to prune it at all this year or should I just feed it & leave it for pruning till next year? If I prune it, I fear there will be v little left! - cheers

  • I have an ancient Bramley which is very large. If I cut the top as described most of the apples will drop off. I usually prune the top when the tree is dormant. Is this ok.
