Pretty old apple tree in the garden which produces hundreds of not-great-tasting apples every year looks like it’s in a bit of a state. I had to cut back a weird branch that had been cut before, presumably because it shot out horizontally, and there’s a ton of rot.

It’s not in danger of hitting any buildings if it ever does fall, although could maybe take out a distracted child or two if I’m lucky.

Is there anything I can do to save it?

My (dwarf) apple tree had mast years every year and I just gave it a bit of potash and water every now and then. It wasn't difficult in any shape or form. Still sad I had to leave it when I moved.
