Trees are 5 years old the seeds were New Zealand Braeburn. It might be because we are in the other hemisphere?

Maybe, some trees take more then 5 years to fruit. Are they flowering?
No flowers yet Our other apple trees have fruit the flowers are gone.
I think they just aren't old enough. Grafted trees are often on dwarfing rootstock that stunts their growth but also causes them to fruit at a younger age. I suspect since these trees are from seed they just need a few more years. I think I have heard that 7 years is not uncommon.
I am s glad we chatted about this. I was about to pull them and plant some more. I will give them a few more years.
