trees that don't flower?My apple trees never flower. Will they eventually? Are there trees grown from seed that never flower their whole lives?
Thanks, Matt W
Yes, your tree will eventually flower, but it will take a few years (maybe a lot of years). Trees grown from seeds delay much in flowering, that's why the grafts are made. Grafting is a very common practice in agriculture, specially with fruit trees.
Sorry about my english, is not very good, I hope you understood.
and to answer your question: yes there are trees that do not produce flowers - that reproduce entirely by asexual reproduction

But that a specific case, right? The normal condition for angiosperms (actually their defining character) is reproducion by flowers...
Apple trees can be difficult. In addition to age, Factors involved are the number of trees you have (the more the merrier),
a full sun location,winter pruning, bud protection, fertilization, and most important: pollination. Then if you are able to coax a few apples you need to protect them from insects and squirrls etc. "How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these".
