Hi ya ducks! I apologise for involving a duck in nothing! I get rather preturbed (is that a word) when you birds start posting, and then , to make yourself feel good , blame someone else! This next message is not for you DUCK! Miles! I believe you are comparing crab apples to apples here! One of which flowers beautifully, whilst the other tries, but to no avail! ( unfortunatly this story stops short!)(oh well) And one day, one or the other produces fruit! If you want to know which one, We would need to know all of the facts about the Seed, germination temperatures, light etc. The proper amount of heat at the correct time will give you small flowers (even after the branch has been severed!) These little flowers are nice for some folks! But they die just as fast! To produce a flower is easy, with a little pampering! With some you just slice a branch, give them some water and instant gratification. But, to provide a fruit, you need a hardy seed! (grafting also works in the right circumstances) Some seeds require 2 +3 years of temperature changes! Others need a form of acid, to get past the hard outer shell! Then it needs a little pampering just to get it started well! (Pampering may include, an injection or shot, as needed!) Darn !!!! Just when your fruit starts to swell, (from the pampering) the vse bug steps in! "YEY" and "We will save you from having an oversized Fruit". You shouldn't worry about them. If your fruit grows too fast and is healthy, this virus from the VSE will eventually, be dismissed! However, if it is not healthy, in a drought, the VSE will sacrifice it! THE WAY IT IS!
