Depending on the cultivar that you have, it could be alternate bearing. Some of them are. Some that are not typically biennial bearing can revert to that when it is stressed. Pruning can have a lot to do with this, as well.

I always like to recommend testing your soil. This can rule out deficiencies, or pH related stress. They need it a little more on the acidic side.
