so far no, just the low hanging fruit.

Yikes. You may have to put a nice tall fence around the trees, far enough away that you can still get to the apples when they are ready. Our apple tree rather sucks but it is great for applesauce, apple butter, and pie filling. We have a Bartlett pear tree and wow those are good. These are...
