Thank you,that explains it! I pruned some branches short and left others but now have(had)6 fruits,on the ends of wavy branches
oddly the apples seem to be ripe,3 have fallen off with recent gales and are ripe
Am convinced autumns is early this year
I am obliged for your detailed reply ,am hoping to go on a pruning course when I retire,have not got the hang of it,have the same problem with a beauty of bath ,apples appearing at ends of branches
