An old apple tree can be a treasure, producing a delicious harvest even when the tree is 50, 80 or one hundred years old. But in order to be healthy and productive, old apple trees need hands-on care and old apple tree pruning is a big part of that care. #oldappletrees #fruittreecare #appletreepruning
