Message Board - Soft Landscaping: Fruit trees are virtually barren this year

My fruit trees seem to be showing the effects of the weather we have had so far this year, by which I mean they are fruitless. Pear, apple, peach, plum, cherry and more have hardly any fruit compared with other years.

I will just have to write off the productive side of my garden this year. Has anyone else had similar results this year, or have I just been unlucky, or worse still, done something wrong that has made the fruit trees less productive this year.

You're not the only one with fruitless fruit trees this year. The RHS gave out a press release saying that this year was particularly bad for fruit, and that there may well be a shortage of fruit come the winter. I've just written off this years fruit, so anything that does emerge is a bonus.
