We need to wait

Some apple varieties bloom and bear fruit only after several years: you need to be prepared for this scenario. Also, some trees do not bear fruit every year: they can rest for a season.

Poor quality pruning

It is important to carry out this procedure regularly and correctly if you want to collect a good harvest of apples every season. If you ignore pruning, the apple tree may simply stop bearing fruit and blooming accordingly.
