#1 Apple Tree Produced 2021 Year And #2 Tree 2022. How To Get Them Back In Sync So Both Trees Produce In The Same Year?

Question

For the last couple of years my Gala Apple trees (dwarf) produced every other year. Now for some reason 1 produced in 2021 and the other in 2022. How can I get them back in sync so they both produce in the same year>

Answer 1

Ultimately, this is going to come down to pruning, and thinning fruit at the proper time, and proper fertilization routines.

Some cultivars are more prone to this than others, but thinning the apple crop on overproductive years will keep this from happening as badly.
