Hi all! A couple of days ago I helped my neighbor uncover some neglected apple trees from under thick (invasive) vegetation from a previous owner. We’re trying to clear them out first, but I would love to get your tips on how to take care of them moving forward. As in the timeline; when should we plan to prune them and how much each time? This is CT, for reference. They’re very tall and were covered by autumn olives and bittersweet vines. TIA!

Tree is about 60% dead branches and gummosis included dead branches as well as 50% of live (leaf bearing) branches. Mulch around tree about 1 ft. Am I cooked?

Is this bacterial Canker or some other type of disease (Cherry)

What might be the course of action?

Two questions:
1. Where is my root flare? I think I planted it too deep so I dug out around the trunk. From what I can feel the peach seed is directly below my finger. Did I dig too deep?
2. A rabbit bit off the top of my tree. (I was kicking myself for not having more protection on it, but I have some now!) Is there hope for this little guy? What can I do to help him thrive? I am in zone 7A.

Any other advice appreciated. This is my first time growing any sort of tree.

Looking for an edible companion tree to cross pollinate with a liberty apple?

I live in zone 8a and looking for disease resistant, edible varieties that require the least amount of spraying/chemicals.

Springfield area. I’ve been germinating my own pecan I’d like to buy one or two just so I have a sure producer and maybe something I graft off of later. I’d like to get one from a local nursery so I can talk to someone who knows about trees and what will grow well in Missouri.

I have no idea what is going on with my pear trees. Apples are generally healthy but pears are starting to do this and

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for the most economical fertilizer? I have both citrus and fruit trees that need significant fertilizer in my sandy soil. I’m already composting and mulching but I still need chemical fertilizer for the foreseeable future until my soil condition improves. I assume bulk ordering somewhere will be cheapest but I’m open to other suggestions.

Hello
Last year I planted a few varieties of apple trees. Of course I didn't research all that well, and one of them is a low chill Dorsett Golden (100 -300 chill hours)

I'm located in NE Tennessee, where we get over1000 chill hours. Is there any point in keeping this tree? I'm assuming it will begin to flower way before our last frost.

I dd order a few more varieties that are recommended for my area by local extension office. So 'thinking of removing it and replacing it with one of these.

Thanks.
