A couple years ago the wind had blown over my apple tree which is 12-14 feet tall. We could tell it was not broke off so got it upright with stakes and ropes. Last year there were a few apples, but this year there was not one blossom. Is there hope the tree will still produce? I know many will alternate bearing…but not a single blossom makes me question this. Thank you

If the tree is healthy and gets plenty of sunlight, it will probably bear fruit normally (biennially or otherwise) in the long run.
