We have a 50-60 yo apple tree in our garden and every year it has given us loads of cooking apples.
Last year, once it had lost all its leaves we had it pruned by our regular gardeners who said they knew how to look after it.
Basically they have cut all the shoots back to the main branches and there is no sign of any new growth at all, so I'm wondering if this was the right thing to do?
I'm hoping we haven't killed the poor old thing as it's a fantastic place to sit in the summer.
