How long has it taken to get to fruiting size?

10-15 years, ignoring the occasional nut on smaller trees.

It is now 19 years old (last birthday), but it has had some nuts on
for a few years now, but never as many as this year.

What a strange fruiting year it is, my Victoria plum is so burdened
with fruit it may collapse but on several varieties of apple there are
scarcely any fruit to be seen.

Plenty on the apple tee next door, sadly nothing will eat the things. Even the
green parakeets gave up.

Even the reliable regulars seem to be
having a rest.

It's a very good year for roses too, but our geraniums are not doing very well.

Neither are ours. Large leaves but no flowers. I thought it was just
me.
