Apple Tree
« on: June 13, 2009, 22:13 »
I planted a 2yr old apple tree in April.

My question is should i let it fruit?

It has started to grow apples and i do know i should NOT let it in the first yr but is that the first yr i have the tree or is it the first yr of the tree life??

Thank u for any help advice i get

The first summer after you plant it you should remove all fruit. But i have to let them grow 1 just for a taster :lol:

Agree with mumofstig.  Don't let it fruit more than the one taster. ::)  It needs to concentrate on putting down strong roots in the first year.  Make sure it gets plenty of water down at the roots.  After the first year they can fend for themselves much more easily.
Cheese makes everything better.
