Healthy, productive trees sometimes take a year off. Defend against Apple Maggots. Rake the leaves. Fruit Tree leaves should not be used as mulch around the garden. Prune during the dormant season. Water during dry seasons. Make a field plan. Beware the weedeater! And Finally Prepare your trees for winter.
