Yesterday while reviewing my trees I noticed that my first leaf Rubinette apple was flowering. Any idea what would trigger this to flower so late in the growing season?

Did it lose a lot of leaves to scab or insects?
Not really. I lost a branch do to a deer hit but other than that it looks super healthy. It’s now caged so the deer can’t get to it.
My Niedzwetzkyana is flowering (late July). it disnt’ flower in the spring…and a couple weeks hot weather made it pause in growth. Maybe it thinks it’s another year already.
Weird weather makes some of the trees bloom during the later months in the summer. It may be a different tree every year that does that. It has to do something with the root system. I wish I could remember what it was called now.
