Its what happens naturally with pines esp if shaded If you like you could trim the dead branches off it won't regrow ever at the bottom

Im sure I remember Alice Roberts on telly on about stone ground flour wearing teeth down Made me wonder about the flour the local windmill sells?

Post some pictures up. RHS is good info: For old neglected trees https://www.rhs.org.uk/fruit/apples/renovating-old-trees Mature trees https://www.rhs.org.uk/fruit/apples/winter-pruning https://www.rhs.org.uk/fruit/apples/winter-regulated-pruning Q1 See above guides Q2 By looking at them stuff like dead banches or canker etc are pretty easy to see. Use secateurs loppers siky/pruning saws tripod ladder etc to do the job. Q3 Covered above but also fruit thinning https://www.rhs.org.uk/videos/advice/apple-thinning-summer-tips

Looks ok id leave it alone. Though you could mulch round base etc if you like....

Looks like its under another big tree might be why its sparse doesn't like the shade. Cherry plum? Any blossom?

Loose

Loose stacked is an oxymoron. Its either loose or stacked not "loose stacked"

Bit of ginger with it is ok.

Won't work its a "jaffa"

Unless its concrete u need one with offroad wheels.

I found swedes easy to grow and prefer them to turnips. Swede mash is nice with spud mash.

I don't see the point as its gonna be a hassle to fill them all as 26t gonna be alot of bags? Why not use the 1m3 size bags? Or is idea you have a sack trolly and bring each bag into the house to use ? Also if you pack/stck the barrow bags to hold more logs rather the loose fill will season alot slower- (maybe this is obivous)? As for seasoning the bags up on pallets with space between each would be best to maximize airflow if you can get enough pallets etc and maybe some cover to keep the the rain over the tops Basicaly the ideal is as little water on the logs as possible but the greatest wind and sun exposure. I don't think selling any is worth it unless you have acess to free wood or are doing is on a larger scale with all the equipment.

I think it died Scrape the trunk see if there any green under the bark?

I wouldn't bother as it just seems a place to retain water longer and dirt, making it harder to clean etc.... Also non grooved decks looks alot more classy & expensive & bespoke. Grooving while it might help abit with regards to grip doesn't seem to do that much as they are still like an ice rink if they get green. Local council have miles of B&Q type board walks. They have all have had "sand paper" anti slip treads retro fitted. Some boards have broken in under 5 yrs from new but maybe cedar would last alot longer the cheapo stuff? Personally I don't think decking is that well suited to the UK climate especially the Welsh one, unless you don't mind doing a pressure wash & re- oiling regular. But the climate here means it wants to revert to a "celtic rainforest" everthing goes green very fast. SE UK is abit different. Maybe sho shugi ban is the answer?

Id cut them but not all at once do 1 next winter then wait maybe a few seasons then the other 1. Atm stem doesn't look girdled but as girth increases......yeah probably will be etc....

40 mins isn't local? I kind of thought under 1hr is "local".

Depends on budget & intended usage.

They will be fine if you do nothing as tops look over all pretty healthy but it might be best to get rid of them & replant with something else, as they will never look pretty. The brown bits will always be brown as thoose conifer species don't sprout from old wood. Other option is maybe plant something else to hide the brown bits & do add a load of organic matter mulch wood chip compost etc if you do decide plant something as dry shade is difficult a enviroment. Ruscus aculeatus maybe as it seem to grown anywhere

Scarify & reseed?

Uni in Lima must have a forestry department? Might have some experts?
