It actually gave me a few fruits first year, just to taste, and then a few more 2nd year and quite a lot 3rd and 4th years. It grew quite vigorously during this period, such that I was pruning it. But in general all of these fruits are plum-sized rather than the apple-sized fruits one sees in the shops. It then suddenly stopped being vigorous, and now hardly puts on any new wood, and yields are now much lower. Probably I ought to clear a bare earth circle round it, fertilise it, and water it a lot. Maybe a bit of pruning, even though it is old wood, might help reinvigorate it, though it only flowers on old wood. |
