Apple tree (3 replies)
Hi
I have apple trees in containers I believe what you have described is quite normal around June/July the tree drops some of the newly formed Apple's so the tree is not overloaded with fruit and the ones left on the tree will develop into fully grown ripened apples. I live in North Devon here we refer to it as the June drop. I give my Apple trees in containers a 6ltr watering can of water every other day, with a general purpose feed once a week. Hope this is helpful.
I do agree with you Micky.
