Propping a small apple tree

[woodworkingboy]

I worked on an apple farm once. Never never hire hippies to harvest the fruit, one of the worst mistakes that I've ever made. They showed up with their hippie mamas, kids and dogs, and did little work. Mexican laborers all the way.

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 .

My dad had a drawf that slit asunder right down the middle .After the fruit was picked I bolted that thing together with a piece of threaded rod and by golly it recovered .It was only the heavy ice storm of several years ago that finally did it in .

Now most likely if you can hold that thing in the ground it just might make it .
