If your apple tree is producing more fruit than expected, you mind find that the branches are being weighed down. Here's how you can protect it.

An apple tree in bloom is a thing of majesty: armlike branches, held aloft in an eternal pose of praise (or perhaps exasperation), wreathed in a stippled cloud of blossoms.

Over time the buds and branches grow to become part of the main tree and eventually produce even more varieties of apple.

Record snowfall in January 2025 caused apple tree branches to break and trunks to snap, says farmer in Aomori. US$65 million losses feared.
