Manjula Martin writes about the evolution of her relationship to her apple trees, which have never yielded fruit.
I live in what is called wine country, but it used to be known as apple country. From the time it was colonized in the early nineteenth century and through the mid-twentieth century, Sonoma County’s agricultural industry centered on growing and processing apples, especially in the western reaches near the Russian River, where the early-season variety Gravenstein tends to thrive.
Impatient, I consulted my other favorite gardening resource, the Web sites of a great many university-extension agriculture programs, the research and public-education arms of American land-grant universities. According to the University of Massachusetts and the University of Pennsylvania, overfertilization is the most common cause of unfruitfulness—an unlikely explanation in my case, since I have a light hand with fertilizers.
