Sadly lost this old apple tree to the winds but looked pretty with clematis and deserved remembering. Replacement in and doing well, if only 4ft !

@mrsrinhergarden thank you. Unfortunately took out his equally pretty partner when he went. Stumps dug out and reunited behind pond for wildlife but must stop giving them personalities ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ

Same thing happened in one of my old gardens, not sure the out of control clematis helped much... this was before I had any gardening knowledge ๐Ÿ™„

@anne8691 yes, it was an early set back for me too, looking back maybe I should've thinned the fruit a bit, but the learning continues ๐Ÿ˜Š
