Apple tree branch pruning. Apple tree trunk is only 2 metres high, but leaning over due to the unbalanced weight and wind effect on 7 main branches which are 5 plus metres long. Plan is to reduce branch lengths to 2 to 3 metres to stabilise the tree, rebalance the canopy and encourage productive new growth. No TPO. Location 1 on sketch map.
