788 - Feed them with a slow release rose or tomato fertiliser which have higher levels of the minerals which encourage flowers to form. You can also give liquid feeds of tomato feed and/or seaweed for more instant tonics.
Some fruit trees do take a year off to rest after a previous heavy flowering and fruiting year. Generous feeding can help minimise the difference and promote more even fruiting. Correct pruning will encourage the growth of fruiting spurs on apples. See here for advice from the RHS - https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=90

If you pick the fruit early in the morning 7 or 8 say they are drowsy at that time we did that last year. Don't think we'll get so many this year, but that's how it goes.
