My parents have 6 apple trees in their back yard. My mother ask if I had ever seen apple trees bloom in September. I thought she was kidding. But no every one of them have some blooms on them !

it's the end of the World as we know it.

Never heard of that!

Should be picking apples now

The Bible does say the seasons will change in the end times. Mine have lost all their leaves already.

As you can see all the fell then ones popped out and blossom appeared in few days on that stem . The stem above this bloom will have one in couple days

Have heard this is a response to brush killer herbicide. Any fence row or right of way spraying in the vicinity that could have drifted?

The herbicide action is believed to work by getting the plant to go active with sap running in fall, vs. dormant, thereby causing freeze damage to cambium layer and killing it. At least that was the claim.

No spraying. It had been weeks since they had rain. Got over an inch and this started about 5 days later. Only thing I can think of abnormal

I noticed it on one of mine this last week as well - only had a few blooms on one tree - I thought how odd. I have never seen it before.

Our Lilac bush is blooming right now. Typically a spring bloom. Never seen flowers on it in the fall.

Those apple trees don't look healthy. High stress is making them bloom is my guess. Drought, herbicide, or blight. Last ditch effort of reproduction before they croak.

LOL those apple trees are over 40 years old. They have looked like that for last 20. Dad got unable to spray and prune them but some years they are still loaded. Drought late frost did them in this year .

Wow

Drought stress, I have some Roses with a few blooms on them. Nice for the polinaters.
