Q.We Have An Apple Tree About 25+ Years Old. We Are In A Drought Area. The Tree Is Looks Great With Verdant Leaf Growth. However
, the only apples coming out are on the very bottom branches. Is this because the water table is low, or ?

It sounds like it is close to the end of its productive life cycle. At the very least, the tree can be productive for around 25 years. Under ideal conditions, the tree can be productive for 30 or 40 years!
I would make sure to care for it as it should be until it stops producing, or falls apart. See it out with grace!
