Planted two apple trees march last year. A Stark on dwarf stock and a crab apple.
Both (for their size), produced surprising amounts of fruit last summer. About 10 apples of decent size from the stark (given it had 3 twig-like branches, that was surprising).
This summer, the crab apple is covered in fruit. The Stark has 3 very small apples.
Would have thought it was a late frosts killing the blossom but that wouldn't explain the crab apple fruiting so well.
Any ideas?
