Pruned At the Correct Time Afterall

 I was looking at the roses the other day, making sure that they were trellising properly, when I noticed that on the ground was a small, green ball.  Only it wasn't a ball, but a fallen mini apple!  I looked up and the apple tree is full of clusters of apples! 

In November last year, Will pruned the tree rather severely at what we later discovered to be "the wrong time for pruning" according to various people.  However, there was certainly something to it because of the first time in years we have lots of apples on the tree!  I do recall the taste of the apple from long ago: they were very very very very sour.  I suspect that they will still taste that way, but we will have more chances to find out.
