Last year, one of my apple trees had not a single fruit on it - in
previous years, it's yielded enough to share with the extended family,
and still have plenty left for us. It _looks_ healthy, just like its
mate nearby.

BUT, did it fruit fine, grow to about half size, scab up and then drop
off??

Blossomed, fruited, dried and dropped before even reaching half size.
