Apricot Tree Not Blossoming or Producing

Question

I have a well established apricot tree that has shown growth year after year. It has never produced any blossoms or fruit, however. Is there some action I can take to encourage blossoms to develop and, if so, can you this? The tree is an ‘offspring’ of a very good fruiter.

Answer 1

I would recommend adding phosphorus to the soil. This is likely the cause for not flowering, which means no fruit.
