A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Fruit Forum Apple Tree Problem

Good Morning to you all,
I think I posted this to the wrong forum,maybe someone here can help me.

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?

They do turn red and wrinkled after they fall off the tree.







Maybe I should just make a teeny, tiny, apple pie!

It's possible you received mislabeled stock.
Try spreading 4 pounds of bonemeal around the tree to 2 or 3 feet beyond the dripline, scratch the soil so that the bonemeal gets an inch or two into the soil...do this now, because bonemeal doesn't readily dissolve. Add a pound of 5-20-10 or a straight phosphorous now, it will be soluble, more or less, and might improve fruit size this year (or not.)
