My Columnar apple tree is blooming in Feb

I have a columnar apple tree that I bought from fast growing trees in January. When I got it there was too much snow on the ground to put it outside, so I brought her in with too much sun and warmth, now she has bloomed. Is this going to cause an issue later with trying to get apples, or am I OK?

You're not likely to get apples this year. But on a tree that young it's not likely anyway. Plant it outdoors after the danger of freeze is past. Or if destined for pot culture keep it cold next winter, like an unheated garage. You could also insulate the pot outdoors. Bury it or cover with leaves.
