I had an overladen apple tree branch break. Bad orchard mom for not preventing it!
However, I’m obviously, not going to let that go to waste! I stripped off all the green apples to make pectin with, and the main branch will get chipped up to smoke meat later this year. The smaller branches, though, are a favorite with my rabbits. For those of you that feed “tree hay”, do you dry them with leaves and all, and feed that? Or do you do green small branches and leaves only? If it’s the latter, I’ll probably strip the leaves, use those as mulch somewhere, and then just feed the branch parts later in the year as chew sticks.
