You don't say where you live or if you have had your soil tested. When we
lived in Arkansas, they had a gardening expert come on the TV at the same
time on the same day each week and answer questions. When asked that one,
he always replied "you need to add a super phosphate to the soil around the
tree, rose bush", or whatever wasn't blossoming. Maybe you should have the
soil tested and that not being the case, I would check and see if they
blossom together as mentioned above. I have heard that there are only two
or three apple trees that don't need pollinators blooming at the same time
(one being the golden delicious). This year my golden delicious bloomed,
but didn't put on anything. The Fuji bloomed and put on two apples (it is
not big enough to do much more, and we had late frosts here that got the
plums, peaches, cherries, and I presume, apples).

We have 2 trees in our garden,one produces Katy apples which are in an
abundance and the other is a hybrid which for the last 2-3 years now
produces next to nothing.
We have tried pruning this tree but still nothing and was wondering
whether anyone had any tips/remedies we could try please?
