I have this too! Haven't really tried to do much but it does attract a lot of lady bugs.

Beautiful, why do you pick the blossom off? #help

@becs it is the trees first year in my garden. The advice from the nursery I bought it from was to not allow it to set fruit this year so it will focus on developing a strong root system. So no fruit this year but hopefully it will mean a strong tree so I'll get good fruit next year.
