Default apple tree with no buds

Hello,

I have a 12 year old apple tree. It is well pruned, but year after
year I get no fruit buds. (well 5 to 10)
Should I be adding some kind of fertilizer. Any idea to make my apple
tree produces buds ??
thanks


Does it leaf out? Does it flower? What do you mean by "fruit buds"? When
do you prune the tree? How skillfully pruned is "well pruned"? You may
be pruning away bearing wood.
