1. Check your apple varieties

When we planted apple trees we ended up with three different varieties - one needed fewer cold hours than the other bearing type and the third was the pollinator. The one that needed fewer hours of cold was always our best bearer. While the other two might occasionally have a couple of apples, we never had enough to pick from them. Unfortunately, after thirty + years that is the only one left and without a pollinator it will not have fruit.

But we are in Florida so there could be significant differences in varieties for colder areas.
