My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Crabapple trees

12 years ago

I am looking for suggestions regarding 2 old crabapple trees...here is a photo of one of them.
There aren't any other fruit trees on property or on either side (neighbours); but - eventually - I would like to plant some.
Is it worth keeping such old & neglected trees?
They both would need major "renovations". Not that I know what I am supposed to do - but have been reading this forum for a year or so (& asked 2 or 3 questions...)

I have to cut down couple or few old pine trees, so if they were better to be removed (the crabapple trees), I would like to do it at the same time.

TIA. Rina
