A healthy-looking fruit tree can fail to crop for reasons unrelated to pests or disease.
Seven things to check
- Tree age and maturity
- Pollination compatibility
- Winter chill requirement
- Bloom timing and weather
- Sun exposure
- Pruning practices
- Irrigation and overall vigor
The importance of each factor varies dramatically by fruit species and cultivar.
