I love seeing blossom on the trees :) Hope you get a great apple crop.
My sister has a small potted cherry tree which she lost all the fruit from the past two years due to strong winds before it was ready to be picked. Hopefully it will do better this year, but the blossom is already failing due to inclement weather :(
We got less than a bushel last year, because the early warmth + a hard March frost and then a snow in mid-April (plus, the blossoms were out so early the bees were still doing whatever bees do in winter).
We've been pruning the tree back gently for two years, so I'm hoping for a decent apple crop. And the bees are awake, so that's a plus. :-)
