My question is regarding annual fruit production. I inherited the tree when I bought my house, guessing it's around 6-8 years old, going on my third year in the house. The first year we owned the house it had already fruited and then we got that big freeze which almost killed it. After a hard pruning down to the trunk to get rid of the freeze damage it came out last spring in overdrive. Last year it had a huge crop and by mid March it already had flowers and fruit. After harvest last summer I pruned it back to encourage a lower canopy, but by the end of the summer it had fully recovered with lots of new growth.

Fast forward a year almost to the day and, and no new growth, no flowers nada.

Do they produce every year, or is it an every other year ordeal? On a positive note I planted a fruit punch last summer and it is just starting to set fruit.
