Pic attached - tree is 20+feet tall and climbing trees to prune them is a bit iffy now I'm 70+. No deliveries will be made from 20th April until end of November. The good news is home growers can avoid most diseases by planting disease resistant varieties. The tree provides some welcome shade at some times of the year - or steals the sunlight depending how you look at it! Apples are subject to a variety of diseases that can cause minor cosmetic damage or more significant damage, such as reduced yields and even tree death. It might not be so bad if we could slow the growth down, but it's rampant! Did I dream it or can you slow the growth by partially ring-barking on opposite sides of the tree? Removal would be reasonably straightforward, but would pollarding just see us back in the same situation in a short time? Everyone has too many apples and we can't even keep pace with the windfalls as you're talking of wheelbarrow loads each week.Ī local tree surgeon has said he could either remove or pollard the tree, and those seem to be the choices. It produces loads of apples - far too many for us to pick, use, store, or even give away.
#Bramley apple tree plus
It's been pruned fairly heavily in the 10 years we've lived here, plus some fairly random annual pruning by me, out of desperation. The original Bramley Apple Tree resides at 75 Church Street, Southwell, Nottinghamshire, which is currently owned by Nottingham Trent University as part of.
Your tree has fire blight, a destructive bacterial disease that is challenging to control. The tree branches are turning brown, dying back, and forming shepherd’s crook shapes. We've got a large Bramley apple tree in our garden, and it either needs major attention or removal. Prune out any infected wood and remove leaf litter and mummified fruit from branches in late fall.
