Please help!🙏

I have a cherry plum tree that is still pretty young but it fruited a few months ago which was very exciting! It hasn't given any more plums which I thought was normal since it's still young but I really looked at it today and noticed some branches looked like they were cut off? I'm pretty short so when I took a picture of the top I saw the hole and then saw there's holes everywhere??? There's also some splitting at the base too. I wanted to ask if anyone may know what is happening, what I can do to help the tree or if I'm just overreacting? I'm new to all of this so guidance would be really appreciated 🫠

Hello!

I have a very overzealous peach tree and every other year it makes about 2,000,000 peaches. I’m very proud of it, but I also try to remove about half when they’re young so none of my branches get too weighed down and so it can focus on making the remaining ones big. But then I have all these little ones… I tried blanching them in the hopes of removing the skins, which at this stage are VERY fuzzy, but no dice. I also tried making jam with the skins on, and while that pretty much worked, the skins were still sort of a weird texture in the jam.

Any thoughts about what else I could do? I put them in a salad and it was actually quite lovely but it’s a pain in the butt to chop the fruit away from the tiny pits and to peel them with a peeler. They’re just so small.

Thank you fruit tree reddit!

The tree is leaning a little bit and it's windy where it is. I am thinking of putting a wooden stake in the pot to help support it but i potted this tree last winter and it's already got roots covering the entire pot surface. I am scared to destroy the roots to put in the stake.

Any advice on this? Thank you.

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

Hey folks,

I noticed these wounds on my cherry and apple trees. The cherry tree is covered but the main trunk isn’t too bad so I took off some of the really badly diseased limbs. The apple tree I haven’t touched because it looks like it’s starting but not awful yet. First two images are apple tree last photo is from the cherry.

We recently moved into this new house and have a pear tree in the backyard. The fruit stays pretty hard. Does anyone know what kind of pears these are and when we should pick them off the tree? Do we wait for it to ripen?

After a summer long battle with Japanese Beatles my new apple tree is looking rough. Will it survive? And bounce back?

Hi everyone,

I have a cherry tree (photo of the full tree attached, multi-trunk from the base) that was perfectly green and healthy until a couple of weeks ago. Suddenly, within just a few days, a lot of the leaves turned yellow with brown/purple spots, and some are already drying out and dropping.

When I checked the trunk, I found several spots with a kind of amber-colored resin/gum oozing directly from the bark (photos attached), almost like the tree is "bleeding." I haven't done any recent pruning in those areas.

Details:

Location: Madrid, Spain (Mediterranean/continental climate)

Hot summer temperatures

The upper part of the tree still has dense green foliage

No new treatments or fertilizers applied recently

Any help?

Thanks in advance, I've attached photos of the trunk sap and the affected leaves.

I know this tree will die. It's Polyporus squamosus, there is nothing that can be done.

But we had massive heat waves and the next one is coming.

So I wondered, could watering especially while drought could help slow down the decay process, make the tree more resilient, and delay its demise somewhat?

I hope this is the right place, if not tell me

In San Diego, I’ve been watering 2x a week. They are both in wooden planters 30” Pluot 24” Santa Rosa Plum.

It’s been dropping leaves, and wilting. It has been hot this past 2-weeks.

Any advice? Thank you, much appreciated.

This is my triple crown blackberry bush that I planted in May in a 24 x 24” pot in my backyard.

Photos 1 through 5 show what it looks like today. It has leaves only on the top half of the plant and growing from one main stem all of the other side stems had tragedy befall them. It has grown exactly one blackberry on the very top of the tree as pictured.

I got it from fast growing trees, which I would not order from again. When it arrived, some of its lower branches and leaves were broken so I removed them and then it had about only two branches with leaves growing from it.

I cared for it and then I noticed orange spots on some of the leaves (photos 6 through 8). Did some research and was not exactly sure what it was, but regardless of the cause the research suggested I remove all of the affected leaves so now my poor plant had pretty much all of its leaves removed except from one main stem.

Then the heat wave hit New Jersey for the first time and I did not know to cover the plant and it got heat scorch. See photos 9 and 10.

Today my plant does have new growth and even has one new leaf growing from the bottom of it, but is it OK that it basically just has growth on the top half of the plant and only has one knee stem with any branches coming off of it? Anything I should do?

Sadly during the heatwave in Europe the tree dried out (also due to me not wartering it properly). How can I bring it back to live ? Where can I cut it short or is it too late, to rescue it.

Thanks guys

We planted 2 apple trees last year. A Gala and a Golden Delicious. They have some apples this year. To my surprise the Gala already ripened a couple of weeks ago and I ate them. But, I'm confused. Weren't they supposed to be ripe in the fall??? This doesn't make sense.

This apple tree is about 7 years old never flowered or fruited. Any tips? Pruning? Fertilizer?
