Default Apple Blossom
I've just noticed that there are some blossom buds on my Egremont Russet. The world is going mad
Should I nip them off or leave them alone?

My Scrumptious apple tree is flowering too, but only 4 or 5 blossoms. I'm just going to leave them - the way autumn is progressing, it won't be long until the first frosts anyway.

Not sure about the apple blossom but I have broad beans flowering - not sure of the chances of getting a crop though.

The apple blossoms should be left alone, i lived near an apple orchard for a large part of my life, and they usually kept things together and just sprayed once in a while. What type of apples are they exactly?
