Apple Tree

We have a 40-year-old apple tree, which last year had few leaves and blossoms and a few apples. This year the tree is completely bare. In the winter large fungi came from the base of the trunk all the way around. Does this mean it’s dying?

Trees, like animals, have lifespans. Most apple trees live only 15-20 years, so yours is quite old and is most likely dying from old age. The fungi is most likely not causing it to die, but is simply being opportunistic and attaching to a dying tree.
