Trouble with my apple tree?
I have a nice little apple tree that is at least 20 years old. In the 10 years that i have been taking care of it, it has not blossomed or [obviously] produced any fruit. I have no idea what variety it is and regardless, I love it. I prune it properly and it shows no sign of disease. We have a pear tree near it that does blossom and does produce fruit. I will be planting an ornamental cherry near it as well [Yoshiko]. My guess is that it is a variety the requires cross pollination. Anyone out there that can shed some light? thanks!!
Im not looking to do the big orchard thing…just this little tree and maybe a few others. Im not overly concerned about it producing fruit…but it would be nice.
If it hasn’t blossomed in ten years, then it’s most likely a little too comfortable. A tree living a cushy life won’t see any need to reproduce. Well watered, well fertilized, neatly pruned, plenty of space… it’s just fat and lazy.
It’s not because of the need for a polinator. If that were the problem, it would blossom anyway, it just wouldn’t fruit.
The solution is to stress your tree a bit so that it goes into reproductive mode. You can either give it a very heavy-handed pruning this year, or drive a spade shovel into the ground in a circle around it about five feet in diameter. That will cut the roots and make it stressed without killing it, and it will blossom next spring.
All apples need a pollinator. So even though you can make your tree blossom next year, it won’t fruit unless there is a compatible tree nearby. The best polinator is a crab-apple. I recommend a Kerr crabapple, because it stays fairly small and produces edible fruit. But you can choose whatever you like.
