Kiwifruiterer starts with ... Hey everyone, I've been keeping a small orchard of apple trees for close to 7 years now, and with a little care and a whole bunch of time I've always managed a pretty good result: great apples in greater or smaller amounts depending on how well the season goes. Over the last few years I've been pretty intent on expanding and growing this, and have started to add new apple trees in recent times to add some more varieties to the mix. Here's the problem: the new trees haven't taken off nearly as well as the initial trees did. That, and what little fruit they are producing isn't all that great. Which is kinda sad. I've been doing some searching / reading and found a number of sources poinint towards this being replant disease. This site mentions it's common in roses - http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/Profile?pid=572 - while this one suggests it's also prevelanrt in apples and includes a few methods to cope with this: http://www.leicesters.co.nz/specific-apple-replant-disease/ . My question is, does this sound about right? Should I be taking action and implementing some of the ideas suggested above? Some seem a little extreme to me, though obvs I'm up for anything if it means I can start to correct this.
