WHY SOME TREES DON'T BEAR Various Reasons Assigned for Lack of Fruit Weather Interferes With Pollination. There are many reasons why trees do not bear fruit. Some trees like the Jonathan produce fruit in five years while it takes seven years for other varieties such as the Northern Spy. Some trees blossom, but do not bear. Spray injury and lack of vigor of the trees may be the causes of no fruit. High winds, cold dashing rains and cold weather often interfere with the proper pollination and no fruit is the result.
