Help! Cherry tree leaves!

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!!!

Any advice for this (i believe?) orange tree?

My tio planted this tree a few years ago, but I’ve been in college and haven’t been able to take care of it.
I graduated now and I wanna see if I wanna save this tree, if it’s possible.

Advice

Peach tree planted from seed not graphed. A rabbit at one point ate the tip off so it sprouted shoots and arms ect i left most seeing what did the best since the rabbit messed it up. And im figuring the suckers at the bottom go but the main tree has 2 leading arms. Do i trim one or use both of them as like 2 main trees. Also random question but when you plant a sapling thats from seed are you still worried about the root crown or is it young enough that it adjusts itself. (the saplings seem so young they have hardly any roots let alone a flair)

DIY Fruit Picker

I live in south Florida and it's Mango season, but all the mangoes you can reach are usually gone when walking around the neighborhood.
They tend to hang over the public sidewalks and roads.
So I invented this and it's extendable. They use the pole to wash RVs. It worked pretty well the first time trying it!

I used a old fishing net, extendable pole from homedepot, and a gardening tool. You just place the tool right over the fruit you want and pull down. In one day we got all of this for free! 🥭

Planted a freestone, ended up with a watery white clingstone. What the peach?

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.

Why didn’t we get any cherries this year?

I live in a small town where a sweet old man planted a ton of fruit trees as a gift to the community before he died. There are several kinds of cherries, but none of them produced fruit this year. I was so bummed to miss my beloved sour cherries!

They did blossom. I don’t think it was a late freeze. We had an unsettlingly mild winter, and I don’t remember one. The only wind storm happened long after they blossomed. Could our snowless global warming winter have something to do with it?

Summer pruning - heat or rain?

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?

(The bird's nest gets left alone.)

Just moved in, how can I help this peach tree?

One of the limbs is on the ground, looks like it fell off fairly recently as there are peaches on it. Is there anything I can do to preserve the tree?

Is my cherry plum tree beyond saving?

We moved in two years ago and did not know much about this tree. What can we do (if anything) to save it?

Edited to add: it’s no longer producing much fruit (maybe like 2-3 total vs the roughly 100 last year), the bark is flaking, the discoloration on the bark, and multiple branches are weak/without leaves

Should I prune my lemon tree?

hello! in winter my lemon tree lost ALL of its leaves, but put it out in the sun as the branches were still healthy, and now it’s regrown all these beautiful leaves! I am a bit worried that the crown is getting too dense, though. Should I prune it? And where would the best place to snip be?

thanks so much! 😊😊

Help with loquat

These are my the champagne loquat trees I got six months ago. They were loving life up until the heat kicked in. They get plenty of water and are fertilized. I’m in 8b, and it’s been like hot soup outside for the last month. Do I need to give them some kind of shade from afternoon sun?

Pruning Help

I recently purchased this Niagara grape vine but I’m not sure how much to prune to improve its first year growth. Should it only have one main stalk?

u/Quirky_Anxiety6145 — 2 days ago

Although extreme climate change has severely affected many other plants, this pear tree has borne fruit quite well this time.
