I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to trees holding fruit. Some years some trees will hold fruit a long time, some years they won't. Certain trees (usually crabs or trees with crab genetics in their backgrounds) will hold fruit consistently from year to year.

Art---Chestnut Crab still holding some apples? Not very many. They tend to fall on the ground.... and then get eaten.

I think I will have some crab apples this year, looks promising. Nice growth on the Chestnut Crabs I have planted so far!

This is a Chestnut Crab we planted by my old farm site... I have 3-4 about the same size, I’d guess a few apples in 2020? ![](https://i.ibb.co/MDLgqT2/23-DDB40-E-57-E5-4810-9-A47-F62-DB68-B29-D4.jpg)

My Chestnut crab is loaded with blossoms this year too. I planted it in 2017 on an unknown rootstock from Stark Bros. (I'm guessing m7). I probably shouldn't let it bear as much as it wants to, but it is tempting.

How does Chestnut compare to Hewes?
Drop time, size of apple?
