We have 2 miniture apple trees which are now starting to bear fruit. Our worry is that the branches are starting to bend over and as the fruit gets bigger and heavier we are worried that the branches may snap. We have tried holding some of the branches up with twine but that just bunched everything together. Do you know of any device which we could use to support the branches?

Put a stake into the ground near the tree and tie string supports from it to the branches.

ussaly you would have to thin out the crop if its heavy and thin out the weakest branches to leave the thickest and strongest.
