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

No

Even if you moved to a planet where the years were only six month long,
apple trees would still only bloom once a year.

A prolonged flowering season in a mild climate is just that and not a second
crop of flowers.

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?

Mine has flowers and fruit most of the time. I'm in southern
California, the tree is a "Dorset Golden."

It's the nature of this type tree in this environment.
