blossomless
Bearing no flowers
Blossomless means without blossoms—lacking flowers or the capacity to flower.
The word appears in literary or poetic contexts to describe barren trees or plants: The blossomless orchard stood gray against the winter sky.
Figuratively, it suggests something that fails to flourish or reach its potential: a blossomless career, blossomless years.
