Good Morning to you all, I have 2 En Shemer Apple Trees in my back yard. One never has fruit, the other has mini apples. I have researched this on the internet but all I see is regular size apples there. I do fertilize with fruit tree fertilizer as directed. Last year the apples were tiny too.Does any one know why? thanx ![[Linked Image]](http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af204/missd1947/th_DSCN1642.jpg)

Just a thought.........you might need a pollinater tree, such as Golden Delicious. I am not familiar with this type of apple. Is it a decorative apple and not a fruit bearing apple?

Ein Shemer Apple Trees are a large, Golden Delicious type, with a crisp tart flavor and a good quality flesh. The Ein Shemer is an excellent multi-use southern apple that ripens mid-June to early July, after the Anna Apple Tree. The Ein Shemer Apple Tree is a self-fertile apple tree. 350 chill hours.
You need a pollinator as suggested by Carol in the post above. How old are the trees? They usually bear in 3-4 years. The fruits will be about 2-3/4 inches in diameter.

Thank you for your input. The trees were here when we bought the house 2 1/2 years ago. They have had these little apples both years. Now they are turning red and wrinkled and falling off the tree. There is another tree right next to it that I assumed was the pollinator. It looks like the same kind of tree, leaves, bark, etc, but does not bear fruit. Does this help?
thanks

OK...I found these on the ground this evening. The spool of thread is for size referencing. The apples turn red and fall off the tree, still small. These trees are at least 30 ft tall and more than 2 1/2 years old. They were this size when I bought the house in Dec 2006. What can I do to get normal size apples? ![[Linked Image]](http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af204/missd1947/th_DSCN1756.jpg)
