So I bought 12 apple trees in March. 4 Arkansas black, 3 Granny Smith, 2 liberty, and a Fuji. Planted them the first of April. All were approximately 5.5-6.5 foot tall when I bought them. This weekend I went to check on them and water them and all 4 of the Arkansas black have apples on them. One tree has maybe 10 and the most had close to 40 on it. All are small with the biggest being about the size of a marble. My question is should I remove them or let them go. No bigger than the branches are I'm afraid they will break the branches off. And I'm thinking that the trees would be better off using energy to grow itself than grow the apples. I have never had apple trees before and know nothing about them and honestly have no clue as what I need to do. Thanks for the help
