Is It A Bad Year For Pollination Of Old Urban Apple Trees

Apples have a tendency to stop production, quite suddenly, once they reach a certain age. This is usually around 40 or 50 years. This can be earlier or later, though.

This is my suspicion.

Other than that, proper care will keep them at their best.
