Wild apple trees usually reach age 10 to 12 in this period. [7] The number of fruits increase significantly as prominent secondary growth and branching take place. [7] Period III involves more growth and fruit bearing. [7] Wild apple trees enter regular fruiting and reach maximum fruit bearing in this period, and usually reach age 25 to 30. [7]
You can shorten these branches by making a slanted cut perpendicular to the nearest fruit spur, where you want the tree branch to end. Cut right above the spur or bud, about a 1/4-inch away from it.

The wild apple is a deciduous small to medium-sized tree, but can also grow into a multi-stemmed bush. It can live 80–100 years and grow up to 14 metres (46 feet) tall with trunk diameters of usually 23–45 centimetres (9– 17 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches), although diameters exceeding 90 cm (35 in) have been recorded.

The dwarf apple grows as a small tree or mallee to 7 m (25 ft) high. It has greyish flaky bark. [3] Like other members of the genus Angophora and unlike other eucalypts, the leaves are arranged oppositely along the stem. [4]
