My apple trees have very few blossoms on them this year. Last *year they

Oregon. Anyone else in the Northwest observing this?

I'm on the other side of the mountains in Oregon, and our tree has
been pretty thin this year too. Totally aware of the biennial bearing,
but thinning had helped balance it quite a bit in past years. This
would be the first year for a thin harvest. We are typically a few
weeks behind the Willamette Valley, so I'm still hopeful.
