Owner's comments

Just discovered these 3 (or 4) Porter apple trees - had been focused on my 6 old giant overgrown Macs and Cortlands, that produce wonderfully. I am slowly working to get them back into shape. Surprised that they are producing as well as they are, given what I think is over 20 years of neglect. Any help and advice anyone can give me would be very well appreciated.
