I've done some clearing up around the apple tree that had fallen down, which was a nightmare as it was surrounded by lots of old and rotten carpet that was tangled up with the roots of weeds and brambles. Once I had enough of the area around it cleared to be able to see the soil, I could put in some supports and tie the tree to the supports.
It was easier to hammer in the rods and loosen the ground before trying to hammer in the big long poles. I was on my own so used the piece of rope to hold the tree in place till I tied in the stronger straps.
As the tree was surround by hawthorn stumps that were re-sprouting, I decided to deal with those to give the tree a better chance.
This tree will always be weak as the main trunk was cut and these have sprouted, possibly from the root stock. Once it produces some fruit, we'll see if it's any good but if not, it will have to go. I have tried to keep with the ethos of allotment gardening and give the tree every chance but if the fruit are no good, then it needs to be replaced by something better.
