I think that they are in pretty good shape pruning-wise, because the previous owner really babied these trees. They were transplants from his orchard in Northern Michigan. Unfortunately, he passed away and was unable to leave us any information on the trees. We've just been going from the information we can gather from our neighbors.

I could not believe how many apples we had on the ground last year! They were EVERYWHERE! Even though we did not want to eat many of them, my mom's horse was absolutely thrilled. I think he was ready to move in to our house just to be near these trees :-)

This picture shows the trees in early October of last year. We had a family gathering, so the tree pictures come with children poking out from several angles :-)
