I have a tree like that, ever since a storm that tipped it a little I have to keep strapping it. And the apples are so abundant it wants to fall over. It’s brother is a little smaller but doing fine.
Strapping a split together I take it? Bolt it if you can and brace the limbs up with y shaped broken branches. If you look at real old apple trees you’ll usually see a bunch of braces or places where the limb has been trained to the ground to support itself and then aim back up so it looks a bit wavy.
