100yr old apple tree

[testcricket01]

my grandads got a 100 plus yr old apple tree in his garden its suddenly died off, with the dryness and heat im guessing. just wondered if i pollarded it would it stand a chance of regenerating or once there dead is it gone no pics im affraid.

 

 

any ideas guys?

 

thanks

If the tree died quickly, what ever has killed it will have affected the whole tree. Me thinks that you will have some logs that will smell sweet when they are burned. Time to start looking for a replacement tree. But do not plant it close to the dead one, or it will suffer the same fate.

Any ideas what has killed it ?

Sad man, thats some tree.

 

should have watered and mulched it BEFORE the drought!

 

pollard it? nah, its stressed and needs the foliage, water it mulch it and cross your fingers
