macleaymac says... Hello hebby8. It depends on 2 main things.First presuming it is a nursery bought plant, what the root stock is. If the stock the apple was grafted to is not the approved one for apples, then it can take 7-10 years before fruiting. If it is a 'seed grown' apple it may never fruit. Second. Apple trees are most particular as to their pruning. Heavy or incorrect pruning when they are young can delay the fruiting. | About the Author macleaymac macleay island brisbane 7th February 2009 10:56am #UserID: 1925 Posts: 11 View All macleaymac's Edible Fruit Trees |

hebby8 says... thanks for your replies, I am sure its a grafted tree and not grown from seed. The pruning part might be a problem. I read around the place that I should have a main trunk with longer branches. Instead mine looks like a peach tree, it has mullitple thin branches. I guess its been 5 years, so maybe in another couple we can decide wheather to chop or leave. | About the Author hebby8 perth 13th February 2009 3:21pm #UserID: 1962 Posts: 2 View All hebby8's Edible Fruit Trees |
