Do you experience that with your large amount of trees? And if so...does it apply to all of them at the same time?

Yield varies year to year for so many reasons. Ours seems to be less every third or forth year.
Weather has bigger impact. Hot weather impacts quality and yield as does an early freeze. No rain really hurts. We're on district water and it costs a lot to irrate.
Price has dropped over a dollar a pound in the last 10 years. Family does all the work so no labor costs.
Trees getting old and have crown gall which is slowly killing them. We are replacing with Christmas trees.
