Any advice for keeping these alive?
I have never been a big planting or growing guy but I recently became responsible for these trees and I want to keep them alive but have tragically been failing. My sister planted them I think about 3 years ago but she died about a year ago. My mom and I are very connected to these trees since my sister loved them. I have been trying to care for them but so far I have lost 2/5 and one really isn’t looking good. I do the basics, water and cut down fruit cuz I know they’re not supposed to grow fruit for the first few years. However, this doesn’t seem to be enough to keep them all going. Any advice, tips, or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is not a typical post for this subreddit. I think they are pear and plum trees.
Edit for more info. I live in southern Wisconsin.
