Hi there, I'm after some advice, my apple tree snapped during last winter. I left the remaining portion in situ, and it has now sprouted (all above the graft).
My question is how do I prune it to keep it small, but still give fruit? It has not fruited before, it was rather gangly with leaves only at the ends of bare branches.

Any advice/info would be very much appreciated.
Best regards

The same happened to one of my young bushes about 2 years ago for some strange reason the main stem broke off around 8 inches above the graft I moved it and put it against the boundary fence we’re the original plots ended before the council extended the allotment I made a cordon out of it which was not hard as it only had one shoot growing ,this year it has 2 apples on it and at present a couple of branches that need tying back

Looks like a prime candidate for a cordon to me too!
