On another note...I have an apple tree that had a ton of apples last year. I have heard that apple trees are on a 2-year cycle. One year with apples, the next year without. Does anyone know?

Good call about the ammonium sulfate. I use that as well. I need all the help I can get in keeping up with my retired neighbors and that stuff is my equalizer.
