Indy, Thanks There sure is a lot of info on that site, my head is spinning. LOL
Here is a pic of my 'MacFree' apple, a disease resistant variety of McIntosh.
It's on the south facing side of a slope. As you can see it's about 15 feet tall and fairly dense. I've topped it a couple of times and thinned it but it hardly shows.
It produced heavily last season but had 'sooty mold' on many fruit. I'm going to have to get serious with pruning this winter. Any advice?
Pic was taken this AM.
