The immortal apple has struggled this year; it's been a strange year for the Malus family. Whether it's been our garden trees both the eater and Bramley, or the varied variety of escaped eaters that populate our common or the Crab Apples in the forest, the same story, loads of fruits, but none of any great size. That said it hasn't seemed to have effected their taste. I think the two main culprits of this phenomena are probably the dry spring and summer, and poor pollination due to aforementioned weather conditions on insects, or maybe a combination of both.
