One-apple Bush

Last year we had an apple tree in our backyard.
I pruned it and thought it looked happy and healthy.
In the fall, we picked a delicious half-bushel of apples. 

This year, after aggressive pruning by my dear husband, we have an apple bush.
With the new growth we decided it's more bush than tree.
I'd say he cut off 90% of the branches.
Our harvest this year? Maybe one apple.
It's the only one that grew.

It looks as if the apple bush is holding out the offering to us.
I thought I should take a picture just in case it succumbs to wind.
