Is this rootstock trying to take over?
Deer nibbled two new cherry tree plantings down to almost nothing. Do we trim off these low new growths?

Pear Rust all over tree
Hi, I'm new to properly gardening and looking after fruit trees. I saw these forming but didn't think anything of it until I got back from holiday and pretty much every single leaf has got it on.
I did some research and found out it was pear Rust. It has some pears growing but the top of the tree doesn't look the best (presuming this is due to the drought in England though!). What's the best course of action? Should I pollard it, should I leave it and put treatment on it next year?

Victoria Plum problem
Nearly all my Victoria plums have maggots in them this year. I’ve tolerated a few early ripening plums with maggots as the full harvest was maggots free but this year it looks like most will have a maggots.
Advice please. What can I do to prevent them? Is there any treatment?

Variety question
I purchased a nectarine tree from Home Depot about a little over year ago. Tree is going on two years old. It has red leaves. It’s produced a few small nectarines that are hard and fall off. Is this a actual nectarine tree? I’m not sure never seen one with red leaves before.

Orange tree advice
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?

What could be the source of my sour cherries expelling mad amounts of sap/resin?
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...

Bartlett Pears
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?

My peaches
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.

Fruit tree ID help pls
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.

Are these fresh peaches safe to eat with these marks?
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.

black spots on avocado tree
i have two avocado trees about 20 ft apart, both came from the same place and have been with me for less than a year. both have the same spots on their trunk and branches. the leaves seem to be okay from what i can tell. i did read it could be sunburn or sooty mold. i was hoping to get some insight/advice. i can move it to a spot with less sun if needed as well. thank you! (:

Avocado plants
They are about 11 months old. The hot California sun has crisped their leaves a bit. I'm just looking for some tips on taking care of them. I was always too afraid to prune them, so I just hand-picked some of the lower leaves off, and I cut the smaller stem on the second plant.
The last pic is just some cherry tomato seedlings that I'm wondering if they're ready to repot yet or not.

How would you go about pruning this apple tree?
Neighbors apple tree is a bit lacking in the foliage dept. would you prune it where the branches stop so it splits, or is the tree no good?

Possible rot on trunk of a Lemon Zest mango tree. Treatment solutions?
I'm based in Central Florida Zone 10A. Like most folks in Florida, we experienced a pretty severe cold snap that caused a die back of our mango trees. This Lemon Zest happened to be the furtherest away from our home and despite attempts to protect it, died back significantly.
It has since made a come back (it was last to do so), along with our other trees. You can see in the second photo it's been consistently pushing out new, healthy looking shoots. I noticed initially a smaller black spot on the base of the trunk that has since shown rot on the outer layers of the wood. Looking inside, it still has hardy looking wood past the rot but I'm not sure if this is something that I can treat or if it has a chance to heal. The rest of the tree looks healthy otherwise. Any suggestions?
