I have a couple apple tree questions for you all. I am very inexperienced, so all help is appreciated!
1) At what age of the tree would you start putting clothespins on the limbs to get them to grow out instead of vertical? Mine are in their 2nd year, after being planted spring 2017. They are all about 5 ft tall.
2) What age of apple trees do most of you experience your first apples? Does it depend on the apple species assuming all care of the trees is consistent for every species?
3) Does pinching off the blossoms help that much in the first couple years??
4) Are there any easy guidelines for insecticides/ fungicides care for younger trees for the beginner backyard apple tree grower?
I know the basics of not spraying during bloom and so forth, it just seems like I cannot find a spraying or treatment guide of what to use and when or how often to use it.
Thanks all!
