I have an apple tree which over a couple of years gave me not too many, but enough lovely big apples. Cox orange pippins I think. Last year I got no apples, but put it down to the birds flying onto the tree and knocking off the apples whilst still very young. We used to have the bird feeder very near the tree and they used to fly and rest on the apple tree and then go onto the feeder.
This year I stopped feeding them through the feeder and moved it away. I thought my apples would be safe as I had a good crop of flowers and small fruits developed everywhere. Over the last week or so all the fruits have dropped off. I am not sure if it is the weather or if it is the squrrel. I have never fed anything really, but wonder what to feed it to help or should I justl eave things as they are.
Any knowledgeable budding enthusiasts out there.
