    Well i think ive well and truly made a mess of it , i ended up cutting around 25% of each branch so probably done ti all wrong , i did cut just above a bud but it looks a mess. The mrs always says i go to far when cutting things back ,

    I'm sure it will be fine. It looks like a good little tree, it is self fertile but having other apple trees near it will improve the yield.

      Sounds OK. Do you have a photo which would help.
