I have a small orchard of cider apples in Vermont, and this year will be 3rd leaf for my trees. This year my Major trees on M9 rootstock produced a "snowball bloom" during good weather and with good pollinating varieties in bloom nearby, and yet when all was said and done they ended up with a very small crop. Is this typical for young trees- they produce far more blooms than they can turn into apples? Or should I be looking at other explanations, such as micronutrient deficiencies, cold damage, etc.?
Happy cidering!
