How do I promote fruit on my apple tree?

An apple tree without fruit may not be getting enough sun or water. Poor fruit production can also be caused by over fertilizing.

Hi Dianna, I noticed you said apple tree instead of trees. Most apple varieties do not pollinate themselves or any flowers of the same apple variety; this requires planting at least two different apple tree varieties close to one another so that the bees can pollinate.

Having a second tree could help. Apple trees are cross-pollinated by bees. Having two will increase cross-pollination, which will then produce more fruit!
