Lack of fruit for apple trees and one cherry tree*

(Question)

We live in Niagara Peninsula,we have a little orchard of about 15 apple trees of all vareities for he last 15 years,we have always have a good crop of apples and good crop of sour cherries. We have clay soil here,we apply sheep manure every second year. Checked recently and I could only find 3 small apples on entire orchard about an inch in size and the surface of the apple is scarred.Very hopeless Situation never heard of anything like this

Thank you for contacting Toronto Master Gardeners.

An apple tree without fruit can happen for a number of reasons.

We really hope you will have more fruits next year.
