    Hi all

    I have a few fruit trees, all 1 year olds. I'm wondering if I should remove the blossoms from all of them this year??

    They are 2 apples, a pear, a morello cherry and a damson. The damson and cherry have the most blossoms by far.

    Thanks very much indeed,
    Alexei

    With the Apple trees yes remove the blossom for at laest 2 years maybe 3 years being 1 year old.

    Can't say about he rest only grow 1 Damson/Plum that was older when planted.

    I have 2 apple trees. One is a ballerina bolero and the other is a discovery. The discovery is a couple of feet tall and has already bloomed and gone over. Its fruits are starting to swell. Since its so young do I need to remove them this year?
