Nah, I'm just trying to be funny.

I know it's a lot of trees, seeing as they have acres worth of land though.

I think the best estimates can be achieved by looking at Applebuck season way back in season 1. It's been a long time since I've seen that episode, and so some things I say may be wrong, feel free to correct me.

Lets assume Applejack, when working at a normal pace, bucks an average of 1 tree every 3 minutes (Taking into account the time it takes to move the buckets, as well as pull the wagon that she fills as she goes with her and back to the barn). Then lets assume she works for 10 hours per day during that episode. We also know her performance decreases with time, since by the end she doesn't even realise she's kicking a tree with no apples on it.

lets assume she works for 4 days (I honestly have no idea, been ages since I saw the episode). And let's assume she works at the following rates.
Day 1: 1 tree per 3 minutes
Day 2: 1 tree per 5 minutes
Day 3: 1 tree per 10 minutes
Day 4: 1 tree per 20 minutes.

Let's also assume she is stopped by her friends halfway through day 4, at the 5 hour mark.

From this we can calculate:
Day 1: 200
Day 2: 120
Day 3: 60
Day 4: 15
For a grand total of 395

Since she was only half done by the end of the episode we can double this to 790 trees, or ~800 trees in the entire orchard.

But remember, I made a lot of assumptions, so I could be totally wrong.

Don't worry about it. Writing is a process. It takes time. Don't stress out over it.

I would say approx 1300. This comes from Big Mac's line from Apple Buck Season (S1E4): " One pony pluss hundreds of apple trees". I figured 1300 would numerous enough to be counted in hundreds and but nowhere near enough to be counted in thousands.
