Old Apple Trees

QuestionsOld Apple Trees

I would like to know what to do with two old apple trees at this time of year. My Father used to care for them but since he died they fall too soon, are too small and worms or insects have bored holes in them. I have heard that grease bands should be put on the trunks now. Is that right? and when and with what should I spray them?
