As well as the mature apple trees referred to in a thread last month, I also have a couple of newer ones with a sort of weeping willow habit. These are Laxton Superb which are about five years old and which produced large luscious fruit this year. Their only problem is that they have a sort of weeping habit which, although making them quite attractive to look at, unless the branches are extensively propped up, leaves the fruit at rabbit height. I'm tempted to reduce the length of these lateral branches by about a half but would welcome any advice please?
