Pruning My Mature Crabapple Trees


Over the last few days, I have pruned off tons of dead branches from my crabapple trees. Whew! I'm proud of myself, and the trees look so much better, but I hope I didn't cause too much harm.

Here is a photo from April, just after we moved in.





(Photo from May.)

I put Jobes fertilizer stakes around them last week, so hopefully that will help them recover. (There is still one large dead branch on the right side of the right tree, but my arm just can't handle any more sawing for a while.)

Here is how they look now.
