My apple tree is blooming in September. What's up with that?
Will I have apples in March?
I'm in Seattle...

A number of spring blooming shrubs and trees have bloomed sporadically this
fall. It is due to our unusually cool and rainy summer.
No, you won't have apples in March. The tree requires bees for pollination, &
they are probably not around now. Also, you need the long hot days of summer to
make fruit ripen. Just enjoy the extra flowers.
