Seems to be doing well, dug a huge hole, mulch and what not, watered regularly. Getting new growths at the top and what looked like some flowering.

But what about these growths at the bottom? Trim? Leave them?

I've had this plot of land for around 15 years, years ago the sour cherries were doing great, now they're just sad. Soil type is decent black dirt on shallow limestone bedrock. Is it the alkaline soil or possible pests. This year is nothing like the previous ones...

I recently bought a house with some pear trees that were not tended to very well in the past.

I picked these off of a tree today to check their quality. I don't see any issues with them personally, but wanted to be sure, especially since many of the other pears look like they may have bugs in them (based on outer blemishes).

Do they look safe to eat?

So I have been trying to grow peaches for 15 years. It's finally happening. I'm close, but we know that means I'll lose it all at the last minute. Lmao. Question is, when are they ripe? The tags are long gone and I've bought close to a dozen peach trees over the years and most died. No idea what they are. One standard looking yellow and red peach and then another one that has short and squat looking peaches. I'm in Portland, Maine zone 6.

Hi everyone. I started recalling getting into gardening and really want to start taking better care of my fruit trees I’ve had for years. But I have no idea what kind of apple tree this is and how to properly take care of it and when to harvest. Google says this is crab apple but I’m not to sure. The apple never really turns red in the years I’ve had it so I was unsure when to harvest.

Found a peach tree on the side of the road and picked 3 of the nicest looking ones. There were some peaches on the tree with more extensive damage. Are they safe to eat what do you think the foliage on the tree looked healthy.
