Last year, my 'Honeycrisp' was loaded with bloom. This year not a single blossom. The crabapples and wild apples around me have blosssoms, as well as the probably 150 year old apple tree at the historic house of my brother. On further investigation, at the tips where I would expect a blossom are tiny dead dry dots which fall off easily when I touch them. My blossom buds from that night in April when the temperatures fell to somewhere around 9-12 degrees (F).
We like to make a lot of sauce, juice, and sliced apples and can them as a family.
