Hi Everyone, This os my first post so I hope you dont mind me asking such a newbie question… i have planted 2 new Apple trees in our garden. A Bramley and a Braeburn both on MM106 root stock. I Would really like some advice on creating a beautiful open center tree that will be focal features of the garden. The below images are of the Bramley Apple that we planted last summer and must be at least 3 years old I would guess. I have tried to prune it but I am uncertain if the 3 central branches are too vertical? Ideally the first set of branches needs to be high enough to get a lawn mower under but low enough so we can pick as much fruit as possible on a small ladder. Bramley (Hedge is South side and fence west) I plan to mulch under both trees with wood chips soon and remove some of the grass to accelerate growth but any further tips would be appreciated. the next set of images is the Braeburn that was planted a month ago and I hope to keep reasonably small compared to the Bramley. Can anyone give me some tips on pruning this 2 year old apple tree? Braeburn (Hedge is north side) All the advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I have an apple & pear tree, purchase and planted last year. It straight away got orange spot (rust) on all the leaves. Treated with fungal spray but still looked a bit unhealthy by the end of summer. Now it's March and it's starting to grow again, but the tips of the branches are still a bit rusty looking. Any ideas if it's OK, or needs to be treated. I am a newbie so apologies if I've said something silly. Thanks, Con

I have an infestation on my apple tree which I would like some advice on. It is the main feature of a small garden and I haven't done any pruning in 35 years. This year it had a bad attack of blossom wilt also. I think the infestation has got worse over the years such that 50% of the fruit has fallen already. So, as there are no other apples in the immediate vicinity, is it worth removing all the fruit for a couple of years in order to reduce the population of overwintering as pupa? Or similarly maybe pruning back the fruiting spurs so no fruit for a year and maybe controlling the wilt also?

Looking back through some photos from 2014 discovered Orchard Tooth fungus or orchard toothcrust - Sarcodontia crocea. Surpisingly large bracket - about 50cm. On Malus in old orchard. London.

https://goo.gl/photos/VaEcbjcUw8sSp8bQ9 The above link should enable you all to see some fungus(?) on some apple and crab apple trees. I suspect clearing some space around the trees would be a good first move. I am under the impression that following that it would be sensible to spray with some fungicide. Can anybody educate me further and confirm or otherwise my thinking? Assuming Fungicide is a good thing to do, any recommendations? Many thanks David
