Default Apple trees

You don't mention where you are. First guess: you are not getting
enough chill hours for your tree to bloom. Second guess: late
frosts are killing the blossoms. Need more info.

om...
I have a small apple orchard with 9 trees. This is the third

year for
the orchard, which I planted with trees that were about 6 feet

when I
planted them.

Four of the trees are red delicious and they have never had

blossoms.
(The other trees have blossomed and produced some fruit.) The

red
delicious don't look like they will have blossoms this year

either. I
am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with them and

they
won't ever blossom. How long should one wait for trees like

this to
blossom?
