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.

Apple Tree Suckers

10 years ago

My 40 year old apple tree cracked and fell over in a wind storm last fall. We were able to dig up most of the roots, but I noticed that I have three roots that have suckers budding. Can I let these grow into full apple trees again? Or cut them down?


Thanks!!!
