This old apple tree has been standing to my certain knowledge for 42 years, probably longer.
We have been debating taking it down as it’s pretty dead and only served as a vehicle for bird feeders and the honeysuckle.
The decision was taken out of our hands last night when a combination of very strong winds and saturated ground felled it.
Sad to see it go though.
@speedwell A much younger apple tree and not dead like the old one but completely unproductive. Think this may have to go as well. I don’t think we will replant yet if at all. There are a lot of trees in the garden and we have recently planted Two hawthorn and a nut tree as part of a sustainable hedge at the end.
