well, I was hoping it would produce fruit... lol but I guess if it doesn't that's alright... but I'd probably only be able to get it if someone was able to train it down to springville.... things are super busy right now... (just had a grandma pass away, and just took on a German foreign exchange student!).  If someone else would like it, that's cool too  knowing me, I'd probably end up killing it lol!

many apples need another apple tree as a pollinator so that might be why

this apple didn't have more than a dozen blossoms this year, and it's pretty big....

Bitsy, my apple trees seem to take about 5-6 years to take off, then I notice they do really well every other year. One year heavy apples, tree falling over, the next year a few blooms that fall off, maybe a couple apples. So hopefully next year it will bring you more! Have no idea about the male/female thing.

I wonder if it is struggling. Could be sick, could need more water, maybe a little fertilizer, perhaps some trimming of old growth, or it could be part of the tree's natural cycle. I have seen apple trees before that will produce great one year, then take a break the next year. I don't know yet why they do it.

it hasn't produced at all :\ but right now, it's shading my chicken run... so I probably won't cut it down lol

if there was a freeze that could of taken them out. but overall i think your problem is a lack of pollinators. apple trees have male and female parts on one tree but they need another apple that blooms at the same time in order for them to produce fruit

but wouldn't the tree bloom anyways? this one produced a handful of them.... that was it.

that could be because of lots of different things such as weather, tree health and tons of other things. i know it would be frustrating
