Apple Tree Question

Will I get apples this year...hopefully! The tree was 3 years when I planted it and is about 4 1/2 years now.

This is the only one with blooms so far.

Maybe. Maybe not. Depending on the variety, whether it is a standard or semi-dwarf, it can take 5 or 6 years to expect anything much.
Some apple also seem to have an every other year thing going on. They produce heavily in one year and hardly anthing in the next.
Also depends on pollination- hopefully if this is your only blooming apple then there's another source nearby.

Then you stand a good chance I'd say. It would help to make sure it does not dry out. Not sopping wet, but not desert dry.
