Not a single apple in my garden either.  :(





(Mind you, I haven't got an apple tree.)

Norty JayG  :lol:

I feel like we actually have been quite successful then -- nine plums still on our Victorai tree, and in the garden I have one Golden Delicious apple, and four Katy apples WOW!

and the wild plum across the road in my friend's garden has given us several kilos this year, after othign last year at all  :ohmy:

Four apples on my cooker, 1 apple on the stepover espalier red.  One victoria plum, three peaches on one tree, 6 on the other.  A total of 4 cherries on two trees.  Zero pears.  Terrible year.

I've got a Bramley tree in my garden. Very mature and always a good producer. Averages 250lb a year. I have counted 3 apples on it this year. The warm march and April frost killed nearly every blossom.
