Spartan Apple Tree
Jacqui Young asks:
Question
My Spartan apple tree does not flower or produce fruit, I have a James Grieve apple tree planted nearby for polunation which does produce a few apples. The tree is 3 years old.
Answer
It's not uncommon for newly planted apple trees to take several years to produce flowers. The combination of transplant shock and the plants energy directed towards root development often causes young apple trees to produce few flowers.
Both the Spartan and James Grieve Apple are great pollinators of one another, both are flowering group 3 and partially-self-fertlizing.
I would just give it some time to adapt and continue water and fertilize normally. Perhaps next season is the one.
