Blossom on fruit trees
I was told that for every blossom that grows on an apple tree a fruit will
grow. Can anyone tell me if this is true or not ? If so does this apply to all fruit trees that blossom pear, plum etc. ? |

Numerous conditions must be met before that happens. Typically, the percent of blossoms that form fruit is dependent on the health of the tree, the weather, the availability of pollinators, etc.. So I suspected in most instances the percent of blossoms forming fruit is low. Rusty Mase |
