The only thing I can think of is if you damaged the fruit spur when removing 
the flowers.  Normally you just wait until any fruit sets and then just cut 
off the fruit.  If you didn't damage the fruit spurs last year did it put 
out the new spur for 2012 and just not bloom?  What was the activity at the 
spur point last summer on both portions of the tree, the side that was 
stripped and the side that fruited?

Subject: [nafex] Apple question

   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?
