Gardeners that are new to apple trees often become frustrated when their trees don’t produce in the first year or two. There are a variety of factors that can affect bloom and fruit production, including climate conditions, the quantity of pollinators in the area, and the amount of other apple cultivars planted nearby. If you are experiencing low productivity with your apple trees, be sure that your tree is planted in well-draining soil and receives full sun. An application of fertilizer can also increase the overall health and production of your tree.
