Default Is this possible? Apple trees that flower twice a year....

Hi,
but what about in an environment with seasonal cycles, such as warm summers
and harsh winters? Would it be possible, as a quirk of nature, for a tree to
flower early in the year (spring), and then again in late summer?



This tree probably would, but I have no evidence either way, just a
guess from what it does here. It used to go dormant in the summer, so
a normal tree might do so as well if it wasn't watered sufficiently.
Breaking that dormancy could bring on a fruiting cycle again.
