My little apple trees are a bit younger, having only been planted a couple of years ago and have yet to produce a harvest. One of them has flowered but I pinched off the baby fruits to let the tree get better established. This year, however, I'm hoping to harvest a few fruits - finally! We are a bit further behind than you are, so no flowers yet but I'm keeping an eye out.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-1654533589373651262017-05-05T08:21:52.811+01:002017-05-05T08:21:52.811+01:00It's never going to be a big tree but it's...It's never going to be a big tree but it's certainly grown since I bought it.
