Came home from errands to find one of my banana trees gave in to the weight of its fruit. Propped it up so fruit's not on the ground. If I prop it back up, will it survive to ripen the bunch it's got, or is it all compost now? Knew I should have cut the flower sooner. Sucks because this is the only one fruiting right now. Pardon the weeds.
Elm then Oak (Amalek), then Poplar (Jevusite), hickory (caananite), beech (hivite), tree of heaven (perizite, Damnit!!!) Then maple (Moab) And one more i forget right now are the 6-7 completely detestable nations, except undefiled Moabite women.
Underneath these trees there are constant, unspeakably horrific occurences. For example, the god of elm fallers is "wars", oaks is "Chidushah" ("her novelty" in Hebrew) and the god of moab who holds many police forces is "Orgy"...
Isaiah says to chop their roots and branches (they die soon after, people are able to come gaze at the nightmare stories told by the opened wounds)
Really all shade trees except the willow and myrtle need felled and replaced with fruit trees...

We recently planted (this spring) bare root cherry trees from Trees of Antiquity, specifically Black Tartarian and Black Republican fruiting varieties (among others like bings and sour varieties). We have noticed that the Republicans and Tartarian have been looking wilty and their leaves are curling and browning where new growth is occuring. Any idea what might be causing this? Our other trees do not have this issue. And if there are ideas as to the cause, how do we rectify?
Other details: they are getting plenty of water so we don't think this is the issue. We have also checked the leaves for aphids and haven't seen any of them either.
Thank you!!!
Year three Asian pear. Wondering if this would be considered a girdling root and should it be removed?
Have this bosc pear i think i buried it too deep. I haven't exposed the crown yet but planning on fixing it once the fall dormancy happens. My question is should i expose the crown or just leave it alone till dormancy. Im afraid digging a hole for the crown rn will put too much water funneling to the tree. Please help
Have this young two/three year old peach tree, produced the first crop this year , bumper one for a small tree harvested just yesterday.
Was sold to me as a firm freestone variety, a nectarine, and it is clearly mislabelled.
Fruit is big/ medium sized, fuzzy, has a hint of reddish hue on sun exposed side, quite pale otherwise and pale white inside as well as you can see. It is clingstone, quite watery/juicy, too sweet with hint of tanginess.
Any idea what variety could it be. Could fruit be better in quality as tree matures or am i stuck with soft watery fruit?
Edit: the picture of peach tree is more than a month before I harvested them.
I was going through and doing final checks and thinning of the fruit on my dwarf peach tree and I found this on one of the branches. It seems too geometrical to just be sap covering a wound, I'm assuming this is insect/ arachnid activity... But can anyone tell which type? If this is a concerning species I'll just prune the branch and burn it 😅 thanks for any advice!
I recently ordered 1 dwarf Arkansas Black Apple and 1 dwarf Golden Russet Apple from starks so they can pollinate eachother. I was going to also get a dwarf winesap (my SO & my favourite, which was the real reason for the other 2) but they were out of stock, so I'll get it next year. Plan was to train the 3 apples esplanade style.
Unfortunately, despite correct order info on the invoice, I only got the Arkansas Black and an unwanted semi-dwarf Bartlett pear - I loath Bartlett Pears. I have only liked 3 pears I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot): seckle, forelle, and some cultivar my Grandfather had when I was a child that I don't know the name of.
Other than complaining to the company, what should I do with the Pear tree?
Note: if it stays here, it's staying in a pot & yes I have overwintering space. But is there any point to keep it/experiment with it, or should I just get rid of it? I don't have transport, so I can't deliver it to a garden co-op or something like that.
After watering this morning, followed by pulling up the remaining weeds around each coffee plant. Next scheduled round of combining fox farms acid loving plants fertilizer and all purpose for an NPK of 10-9-8. Additionally,added Dr Irons iron & elemental sulfur for nutrient uptake and lowering the PH. Finished off by adding 2-3 inches of organic pine bark mulch, while avoiding the base of each plant. Was looking for pine fines but no luck. Nonetheless this will help with the weeds and helping to slowly drop the ph. And a Safe and happy 4th to all.
Bought a house last fall and the homeowner never told us, but there was an apple year on the property. I just realized today as I was walking by and noticed something growing on the branches. Any advice on how to trim this back to a healthy tree. Definitely looks like the old owner didn't take care of it. Noticed some young apples have some brown spots on them but doesnt seem like all do. Any advice would be helpful.
Bought this 2 years ago and is now fruiting. Fruit smells like oranges but very sour/bitter and is nothing like the Moro blood orange tree we had at our old house. It's supposed to be a standard tree so is this a root stock? Should I cut it down? I don't ever recall a sucker taking over the plant. Maybe they used the wrong cutting? We're in Riverside county, southern CA, with orange groves everywhere.
Had flowers early spring they fell off unsure if it's sick or needs shade since it's young haven't seen anything oozing from it but ants climbed it before
It's a good job pear trees don't mind wet feet occasionally! This is our second flood at the orchard in Wairarapa Aotearoa N/Z in a month.
Luckily it's in winter when the trees are dormant so not expecting any long term damage. However it delays the winter pruning. The ground is to wet to work on without destroying the grass sward. Role on Spring.
I summer prune my tiny orchard to keep it small. Plum, Asian pear, cherry, apple, peach + berries. A few weeks ago around solstice we had endless rain. Straight into a heat wave that is now transitioning into at least another week of rain. I put off pruning during the heat, but had I known more rain was coming I would have just gone for it.
Anyone know what happens if I just keep waiting for dry weather? I'd really rather not skip this year because they're getting super dense. Northern panhandle WV so even if it's not raining it's still going to be humid as hell. Any advice?

Moved house recently looks like they left me a house warming present haha

This is an Idared on dwarf rootstock. I haven't sprayed it at all this year, but it is well pruned in an open vase style. This is it's 3rd year since planting. I noticed the yellow and brown spots you can see on the older leaves, but these never leaves are curling though seemingly unaffected by the spots. I didn't water them this week, but we got a quarter inch of rain early in the week, and a full inch in the last 24 hours. It has been quite hot, but the soul didn't dry out enough for the nearby strawberries to look sad. I have 4 apple trees. The neighboring liberty looks unaffected, but the Empire and Gala also have curling leaves.
Kinda disappointed.
Finally had flavour king fruit set. Had some issues with worms as well. But there was a good size fruit that became red and soft. Came of easily. Weight 39gr. Tasted very bland practically no aroma like a mealy supermarket plum. Idk if it is because of the weather. But I think it's unlikely. The cherries gave decent fruit
Thinking of taking it out and giving the Asian pear more space since I should have sufficient mid season fruit.
Disappointing year my potted greengage/plum got burnt up from the heatwave, so no delicious fruit from that. Apricot has been a battle with disease and insects especially stinkbugs. But there might still be some decent fruit to harvest.
Sunburst cherry was pretty good tho but it's still young so only a small amount.
Started 6 from seed and I have two left that I think are doing really well. Started last September and had them under a grow light all winter and now they are outside. I know its early to think about but do I bring them in under the grow light this winter or leave them outside to get into the seasonal cycle?
This is a Topaz tree growing in the Midwest United States. I check on it often so this can't be more than a week old. The tree is five years old and growing well. A few weeks ago I had some branches turn brown which I cut off. Nothing bad since then. I even have my first good crop this year. Any ideas?
