A friend of ours started his apple orchard about three years ago.
He's ill now, and we'd like to figure out a way to help his trees.
He grafted about 100 English apples on M9. The trees were planted
out 10' x 10' and are sitting in 2' high grass. These apple trees are
between 1 to 2 feet tall with many branches above the grafts.
They're stunted and have not been pruned. We're in a summer draught
area.
I'd like your opinions on how to save his trees. Is there any hope or
are they permanently harmed?
