Hi Sally, just thought I'd post and let you know that you arent alone with no fruit from new apple trees! We brought 2 apple and one cherry tree last summer, all being a couple of years old and about 4' tall. Last year we got 2 cherries and 5 apples off the eating apple tree, and nothing off the cooking apple tree, this year loads of lovely cherries (or at least lots that we got before the birds nicked them) and 6 cooking apples, but nothing from the eating apple tree! I too was worried about this, but a quick bit of research also put my mind to rest that it is quite usual! I'm just looking forwards to the crops I'm hoping to get in a few years after they are all well established!
