I have an apple tree question

[stoppinattwo]

My new apple tree....£3.99 from Aldi planted this year ans about 10 tiny apples ont it

Am i supposed to take them off to allow the tree to concentrate its enegry on growing? only I~m sure i heard that somewhere?

~it seems a shame but will do if necesary

pleae excuse typing but my acrylics are shocking

Whatever you do it will take it acouple of years to get established and will probably not give a good crop till it is so it probably won't make that much difference.

I wasnt expecting it to do anything this year tbh, I just wanted to make sure that i was giving it the best chance to grow stronger

You're prob right, the other thing I would do is not give it any fertilizer, but do give lots of water. DH planted a quince 3 yrs ago which lost most of its leaves and looked very sick for 2 years but has got going now and looking really healthy. Turns out the nicely manured soil he put it in probably burnt off any new roots it was trying to grow and casused it to sit in its root ball and sulk.

lol @ sit in rootball and sulk

this has done amasingly, as has the par trees and cherry tre i bought....i would certainly recommend cheap aldi fruit trees

sound much better than the £25 quince!
