My tree is fruiting like crazy, what is going on?
There can be many causes of this but during the drought, stressed trees might produce more fruit or more crops of fruit each year as a mechanism to provide for survival of the species. Check the soil moisture to see if there is enough to support water uptake. Refer to the question above, "How can I tell if my tree is getting enough water?" for information on checking soil moisture.
