How can I reduce the number of apples that grow on my apple tree?
We love the tree, hate the apples. Can I do anything in the spring to reduce the number of apples that grow on it?

I have an apple tree in my garden which I cut back earlier in the year. It is very healthy but I only have a few apples growing on it. Is this because I cut it back? if so, when would it have been best for me to cut it back because I think I’m going to have to do this on an annual basis as I don’t want it getting to big. I am in the UK so the answer will need to be based on UK seasons. Thanks.

What can I start doing now to rehabilitate these trees so that the fruit will eventually (next season, or multiple seasons from now if needed) return to being large and good enough to eat? Is there special fertilizer for fruit trees that is generally available? Any other tricks to know?
Any idea how long (how many seasons) rehabilitating a “wild” fruit tree might take?
Thanks!
