Why Does My Apricot Tree Flower In Late August-September When It Is To Late For Fruit To Develop?

Question

My Apricot tree is about ten years old in good health started to flower last year in late August and the same this year but lots of flowers this year, is there anything I can do to encourage it to flower earlier, I don’t know the variety of the tree, but the flowers are beautiful. Any help please.
