Front - After Repot
This Crab Apple was grown from seed by one of our club members. Planted in 1982 and grown in the ground for about 10 years. I bought it about 7 years ago and haven't really done much with it. I decided this year to give it a major redesign. It has great roots but the branch structure is not very good. I reduced the tree about 50%. There was very little taper on the top. I was tempted to remove all the branches but decided to leave these few this season.
