As stupid as it sounds beat the trunk with a rolled up newspaper. I had a
apple tree 20 years ago that was 5 feet tall at planting. After 5 years it
was less than 6 feet. After beat it, it started to grow as it should.
I've seen it work elsewhere also.

Subject: [NAFEX] Runting
This response brings up a good point... what trees ARE subject to
'runting'?
I let a ginger gold apple tree bear too early, and now I can't get it to
grow at all.
Other trees 10' away are doing fine.
Any suggestions on a list or solutions to new growth.

I believe he is right: especially in trees that are subject to runting.
We are all impatient when it comes to fruit. So everyone should have a
"tree of the year" that he can pour his energy into - deciding
placement, creating the perfect hole, the perfect watering method,
perfect measurement of growth, etc. This will help keep his mind off of
last years plant so he can let mother nature work with it. There are so
many things you can do with a tree besides drooling at the thought of
your first crop. Rodney
