Jolly, a bunch of fruit trees, flowering other trees were triggered early here by Nov 12th 2019 83 degrees, Nov 13th 26! It's been mild - just 10 nights after that at freezing, I'm hoping we'll get something, and you too! lots of bee activity, after nary a bee until August last year. ldc in BR

BT, DT. The next year our trees inundated us with fruit but no consolation for this year, is it?

Besides not getting apples this year, some trees will try to revert to the apples' natural every-other-year habit.  |

My tree is like that, but I always blamed it on a lack of pruning. Yes, it is natural in the wild. Orchard apples have had it bred out, for obvious reasons. Some varieties are more prone to revert than others. Pruning does help. |
