This apple tree split down the middle. It looks grim. Can the tree be salvaged?
Update March 2024. The tree recovered very well. It is now about 4 times the height that it was trimmed to during the salvage operation. This year it has produced fruit again for the first time since it split. There are about 20 apples on the tree, which is currently netted against birds. We'll be harvesting then in about a week.
