It's alive as I found a green spot where the support had rubbed through the bark during shipping. The vendor informed me appletrees lose their leaves in the winter and go dormant. Well maybe in the north but this is central Florida. As to pruning I know historically trees were cut to one or two leaders for bearing but I've had luck in just letting the tree make the decisions.Tried to get a couple of pics of my other Dorset but lens is fogged somewhat.
