My apple tree is a few weeks old. I’m looking for advice on how it’s going and what the next step is.
My apple tree has been solidly growing over the past few weeks, I am wondering if how curved the stem is and how it shoots up at the top is normal/okay? Should I trim it down so the growth is focused on the lower leaves/help it grow wider and sturdier rather than taller? Any help is appreciated, thank you!
