Both my neighbours and myself have a huge amount of blossom on our apple trees this year and my quince tree is laden as well. We had a slight frost last night (car iced up!) but trees SEEM to have escaped disaster. Fingers crossed for the next few days.

My apples are not yet in bloom, but as I sprayed them this morning(suffer badly with scab) I can see there should be some decent quantity of flower in a week or so.
Been gardening for over 65 years and still learning.

ours are loaded too! I hope they don't get frosted like they did last year, we had hardly any apples.

Lots of blossom on mine too. It's spent the last 3 years in a pot but I released it for good behaviour into the border. I think it's happier now.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
