I have two apple trees in my garden and I would like to know when apples blossom to be spread. What do I buy for spreading the blossom each year? They have a lot of apples this year and I would like to use them to make apple pies.

You will needd products such as dormant or horticultural oil and products for diseases and/or insects.
I have about five apple trees that are about 6 or 7 years old and have never been pruned! Is it too late to do it now, as they are not taking the shape of trees at all. They were on the property when we bought it.
This article will also help with apple pruning: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/apples/pruning-apple-trees.htm

I planted germinated apple seeds. They look like their coming up now. How much and how often should I water them?
Thanks

Three of my six columnar apple trees have developed lumpy growths at the joints. It looks like arthritis. What is it, and what should I do about it?
It sounds like "burr Knot", this link has images and should answer some questions: http://www.extension.org/pages/60605/burr-knots-on-apple-trees

Hopefully, this article will answer your questions: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/fegen/dwarf-fruit-trees-a-planting-guide-for-fruit-trees-in-containers.htm
I live in NJ. I have an apple tree. Tree leaves have yellow spots that turn into brown spots and underneath brown spots there are thorns. What's that and how to treat?
For positive identification, take a sample of the leaves to your local agricultural extension office. It might be ''shot-hole'' disease, discussed in this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/shot-hole-disease-fungus.htm
When I planted my apple trees, I made sure to plant the tree with the root level with the ground; however, two months later, the ground settled and the trees sank down. The graft is now about an inch or so above the ground level. The trees are doing great, with lots of new growth. My question is, should I dig up my fruit trees to make sure the graft unions are as high up as possible, or is this a lost cause and just monitor and cut out sucker shoots?
Don't dig the trees, the graft if at the correct level. There's good information and visuals in this article:http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/ag28b.html
