   For those apple trees that bear too many one year and not at all the 
next, has anyone tried anything that makes them bear normally?  Last year I 
removed all of the flowers from one side of a tree and, this year, the other 
side is bearing.  I would have expected the side that I removed the flowers 
to bear this year.  What do you think?
