Every year I think about having a professional tree trimming service provider come out and trim our apple trees. They are fantastic trees. They produce great apples but I am concerned about the quality of the fruit, as they seem to be not growning as large as they have in the past and also I am worried about the branches. If there are too many apples on one particular branch the branch might break. This would be a disaster. So I think the tree will be pruned one way or another. The question is whether or not I want to do it myself.
