I'll have to agree that apples are pretty tough trees .I've seen them broken down from fruit loads ,snap the limbs right off .Just a shred of bark holding the limb and damned if the fruit won't ripen on the broken limb .After the fruit is picked,cut the limb off and the tree does great .

The anchors come in all different load ratings from like 3,000 pounds to upwards of 20,000 lbs . The later use big rods like 1 1/4" inch .
Even a 3-5000 pound expanding pole anchor set 6 feet deep won't pull out .Besides that if the tree does come down you just unscrew the anchor rod leaving...
Take a look sometime at a power pole with a short stiff arm going straight down to an anchor . That's called a sidewalk guy because it's used in restricted areas such as you mentioned . If I can "google " up a picture I'll post it .
