Established Apple trees losing their blossoms. - March 9th, 2007 at 04:03 PM
I have a friend of mine that has older established apple trees (variety unknown)that have produced loads of apples in the past. For the past couple of years the trees have bloomed nicely, but then the blooms fall off and very little fruit appears. The very small amount of fruit that does appear grows normally through the season.
This friend had bought the house his grandmother lived in, so he is very familiar with these trees and through all the years this is the first time he can remember this happening. I dont think this is an early frost problem. I would appreciate any advice on what may be causing this to happen. Thanks, Budman-
