"2 years ago it had apples on it into January"
Just an observation on fruit trees from 2013. Around us Spring was really late and the trees bloomed 2-3 weeks later in May than normal. Seems that Fall, just about all the trees held apples much longer than typical. I have one tree that always holds a few dozen apples into Dec. That year it was holding lots of fruit on Dec 15 and still had a stubborn few into Feb 2014. That was the only time I have seen fruit on that tree past Christmas. Still my most consistent and latest holding of the wild trees along my ridge fenceline (faces south)
