Default Apple question

My tallest Apple has a solid 10 feet of P-stem and it's still pushing new leaves here in this very mild So Cal. winter. From your experiance do they flower at a certain height or a certain age? It was in a 15 gal plastic container for the whole winter before planting about 10 months ago so it's age is actually pretty old now. I'd say it was about 3 feet of P-stem when I planted it.

I know we have talked about the number of leaves before flowering but at this point I have no clue how many leaves it 's had.

Default Re: Apple question

momoese,

In my experience, each variety fruits at about the same height, some consistently within a few inches. This helps know when to expect it to flower, and is useful to avoid pup removal and other disturbances near the time it begins to bloom (decreasing number and size of fruit).

They seem to fruit at shorter heights, and possibly later, when they are stressed, particularly when short on water and fertilizer, but most often stress will affect size and quantity of fruit more than bloom height, in my experience.
