Little apple tree
By Frogprincess
Renfrewshire,
United Kingdom 
I bought this little apple tree this spring in a supermarket - it was almost dead and I nursed it back to healh, so I'm very fond of it!
However, I planted it in the wrong place and now want to move it. I understand from GOY that I should wait til it loses its leaves. What I'd like to know is, should I prune it too? It's 1m 30 cm high at its highest point.
I'd be grateful for any advice as I don't want to lose it now!!

If its not been in a year, should be easy to move, but try to keep a good rootball and keep the longer, more spreading roots intact. I wouldn't cut any off the top UNLESS you know you've done a poor job of keeping the roots intact - after all, the tree will be dormant and therefore not supporting top growth when you move it anyway. Water well before and after moving, unless you're waterlogged anyway!
