I meant to take a photo at the farm and check to variety of tree but forgot both so here it goes without both: I have an apple tree that is an EMLA 111 planted as a bare root in spring of 2011 or 2012. I do not recall the variety. It is probably 13 or 14 feet tall and has a good row of laterals at 5.5 feet. It does not have buds laterals or anything again until. 10 feet. Should I cut the central leader back like you would on a second leaf that put on more than 4 feet of growth as I have seen recommended in other threads?
