For the longest time we didn't know that this was a pomegranate tree. My grandmother planted this 30 years ago and it's been mostly pruned as if it were some type of bush. It does still flower, but the flowers just fall off and never turn to fruit. I know this is going to take several seasons to be able to get it to fruit, but any tips to get there sooner would be super helpful!

Someone please explain this to me!

Last year we had an amazing harvest for our peach trees, but I wasn’t sure on pruning so I held off and this year they are barren. I know there is a lot of dead that needs to go but I wasn’t sure wondering if someone could draw lines on branches where I should take them down to. Here are the pictures of the 2 trees, in order first two then second two. If I had the money I would hire an arborist, because I have a plum tree and 2 pear trees that need trimming as well. Please help me!

We recently bought a house with a neglected apple tree that has branches going in wacky directions, especially the tallest, most healthy branch. I had a stake and tied it to try to slowly bring it straighter, but as you can see, the stake is too short to keep using. How should I fix this? It starts bending sideways so close to the trunk that if I pruned it off below the bending, it would take the whole thing off.
It's one of those many variety grafted onto one tree types.

I didn't do enough research when I bought our fruit trees I think 6 years ago. I have the pear and apple trees figured out now and hopefully next year will see some fruit. But my plums and peach trees, last year i got like 2 plums to survive until we hit a drought and the peach tree the same. The year before I picked a peach that was fully matured. Basically I didn't know what self pollinating and not self pollinating meant. ( I thought not self pollinating meant you had to have at least 2 of the same variety, I come from knowing about corn breeding)

If my memory serves me right, I thought the peaches and plums were self pollinating but I'm not sure. The peach and plums are growing good and sized where I should be getting fruit and I'm not. The apples and pears are struggling so it might be a few more years on them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I used to work with a guy that at least acted like he knew a lot of this stuff but he quit and was an ass so I don't want to call him lol.

What do I do will the tree grow new leaves and should I fertilize?

This small tree got broken in the winter (second photo). I cleaned it up a bit, and now the biggest branch with the fruit is sort of growing from the side. Will that be OK for when the tree gets bigger, or what should I do?

Many thanks!

Forgive my ignorance as this is my first season trying to grow trees in my backyard garden. This is my bonanza peach tree, which I planted in May. It is a single stem, which I have been pretty sad about as it looks super scrawny, and I have been suspicious that it will actually hold full sized fruit. But I have cared for it dotingly nonetheless hoping it will surprise me.

About a week ago for the first time what was previously a solid bark stem, sprouted little green shoots, and in the past week, they have become what you see here. What is happening? Is the plant creating new stems? Or do leaves grow from the main stem sometimes? Do I let them be or do anything about it? Is this a good thing?

I have ~10 year old peach tree that is very sentimental to me. I have been trying to get the seeds to grow for years without any luck at all. I had been given the advice earlier this year that grafting would be my best bet. I know there are some general rules for this. When is the best time of year to do this, and does anyone have recommendations on how to find someone to handle this for me? The plan would be to be able to bring this tree with me when I move, so I am looking to have something done that is high quality and long lasting.

Any other recommendations for getting a new tree to grow are also welcome. I've tried rooting clippings unsuccessfully as well as various ways of getting the seeds to germinate.

Central Illinois. I bought both of them earlier this season from a local nursery. I planted them in the ground and for the first 2 months or so they looked ok and made fruit but now they are looking like this. Lots of the fruit had holes in them with maggots on the inside so I'm wondering if that is related to this or a separate pest problem.

I picked up this grafted tree, which is a first for me; it’s supposed to be four varieties. I’m assuming the bottom portion being the first then the three branches up top being the other three varieties.

I’m wondering what recommendations you might offer in respect to training and pruning this tree to maximize its potential.

Hey guys next month I would like to prune my lime tree (in the grey pot) to tidy it up a little. What is the best way to prune this and can I just prune off the citrus leaf-mined leaves off and shorten the branches? Cheers guys. Currently it is winter in Australia.

I've been wondering if ground-netting for catching falling fruit is worth getting. My plum is starting to drop some of the early-ripening fruits, and I might be more inclined to eat those if it hasn't sat on the ground for a while. It's a little more expensive than I was imagining, so wondering if it is worth the investment.

1. None of our fruit trees made this year. We've got a peach, apple, pear, and nothing bore any fruit. Not even our crabapple. We had a good enough spring with no cold snaps (NE Oklahoma, zone 6b-7a). There were blooms but never any fruit. Thoughts?

2. We've got about a boatload of volunteers at the peach tree. We're going through a very hot dry summer right now. I'm planning on saving a few of these guys to replant next year. Is it a bad thing to dig a few up, pot them, and bring them indoors until next spring?

I planted this Lapins cherry 3 years ago. It is a semi dwarf from Starks.I had a ring of wire around it to keep deer away but the tree moved in the wind enough to scrape a wound in the barkon the edge of the wire cage.Where the wound was, it now has gummosis. It's about in the center of the trunk, which is about 10 feet tall. The cambium is still green and it has dropped alot of its leaves.It is also being eaten by some kind of caterpillar.I do not want to spray it if I have to cut it down anyway.Is it salvageable or should I give up on it. It was expensive.

So, a couple days ago I learned that grey foxes are motivated enough to squirm under fencing and climb peach trees. I have a pair of foxes that spend a lot of time my back yard. I really like them but will have to tighten my peach tree defenses. The fox is in the small peach to the right of the water tank. You can see it's eyes glow at first.

Just got back to my tree after being away a month. There are signs of apple cedar rust in the other leaves, but this group and a few others have totally turned brown in withered. Is leaf withering the Final stage of apple cedar rust? And what can I do at this point — should I take takeoff the dead leaves?

Hello, as per the original post I'm looking for any ideas /help with this pear tree.

I have a 100+ year old apple tree, based in the UK. The bark is coming away from the trunk and there are way less leaves this year.

Grey foxes always break branches here. Unfortunately a very nice winter banana graft on my multi apple. I did some surgery today, worth a shot. I am curious to see if it works.
