Two summers ago, we planted two apple trees and a peach tree in our side yard. The peach tree didn't last long at all. And the two apple trees have grown differently. The closer to the front yard the trees are/were along the side of our house, the better they've done. (The peach tree was the farthest back.) I don't know if it's a water thing or not.
Our Granny Smith apple tree is not large, but started out with several apples on it. Then slowly, apples dropped off and it had three. Those dwindled down to one. That apple was so big, that we decided to pick it last week.
Kammie helping...
Showing off our ONE beautiful apple. I know it's not quite time for apple season, but it was so big, that we thought we'd get it before any other critters got to it. It tasted very good. We hope for more in the future.
Here is Kammie by the Red Delicious tree, so you can see the difference in size. The Red Delicious apple tree is closest to the front yard and has gotten pretty big. It seems to have had some sort of blite and we've trimmed off those branches and hope it will be o.k. It has several apples on it and some have been attacked by birds or bugs, but we hope to get some apples off the tree later in the fall.
