Broken apple tree branch - it is important not to let young apple trees get too laden with fruit that drags the branches down, making them prone to damage as seen above. Give your apple trees good pruning and training attention when they are young, and you will set up a fine scaffold of strong productive branches as the tree matures.

"Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness." Jane Austen
