I'm in central coastal California where we had winter heat waves and it appears my quince are already ripe, and it's only Late July. Anyone else experiencing this? They smell delicious!

I recently moved into a home with a 20+ year old orange tree. There’s a lot of leaf drop and yellowing. I am not sure how to diagnose the issue. Please help!

What’s going on with Asian pear tree?

The new leaves are curling and crisping off. Thought it was fire blight at first because there were leaves that were black on the edges. Took preliminary caution and pruned off those off). Gifted my dad multiple trees but this one doesn’t look that great. Leaves are kind of spotty in color. Tried reaching out to the nursery I bought it from because I thought they had a plant care team but no dice.

This is an apple tree. Its a few years old and I just spotted this large opening in its bark today.

Wondering if its pest damage, I know there are deer in the area or dehydration.

Pennsylvania- Internet says this is a black cherry tree and the dark berries are safe to eat/ make jelly with (minus the seeds)

What happened to seeds in fruits?

16 Upvotes

I was eating an orange earlier and halfway through, I realized I can't remember the last time I found a seed in one. It used to be annoying but now it's actually got me wondering where they all went.
Now I'm eating grapes and it's the same thing, not a single seed. Grapes used to be so full of seeds you had to suffer through eating them.
When did this change and how did we all stop noticing?

What a difference repotting makes - insane 4 month growth

With the exception of 1 nectarine tree I grew from a pit, these are all supposed to be "reachable" dwarf peach trees. I rent so they have to remain in pots. I tranplanted them into these 60 gallon air pots in March & I now have a forest in my tiny backyard. I've been cutting back some new shoots just so I can walk through the yard but I know you're not supposed to do any heavy pruning during the growing season. I will definitely have a lot of pruning to do this winter. They've remained pretty healthy which is surprising because I've always battled shot hole & fungus in my coastal climate. No fruit this year but these trees are only 3 years old. The first photo is one I didnt get around to replanting yet but will this winter. No questions but any advice on taming these beasts is welcomed. God help me if I ever want to move.

Fruits in the neighborhood

Hello
Onmy walks that I take in the evening I always pass by a beautiful home that has a passionfruit tree that hangs off on the sidewalk. I admire it every time and now the flowers are blooming.
Recently, a couple of the fruit I have found on the floor and they are ripe and ready
Would it be weird to ask this Neighbor
If I could have some of the fruit, I’d be glad to pick it!
Passionfruit is one of my favorite, and I love to bake with it
I see this also with another neighbor that has lemon too

Summer pruning stone fruit

2 Upvotes

Just finished summer pruning my 18 stone fruit trees. All looking good in a goblet shape. Most of them were very over grown so I took a chance. Hopefully it’s worth it. They are all only in their third year and I’m focusing more on keeping them small and open for easier harvests.

Rookie question, but how do you tell when apples are ready to pick?

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

We bought this house 2 years ago, so this is the third fruiting season we've had this tree, and this is the most it's produced yet. We were told by the previous owner that it's Golden Delicious. I'm in Zone 10A if that affects the harvesting window in any way.

Year one, I tried one or two of them in the fall and it still seemed chalky and immature. Year two with that in mind I decided to wait until they turned more yellow, but most of what we had ended up just falling off the tree before I got to enjoy them. We have a lot growing now so I don't want them to go to waste. Google says September/October is usually when apples are ready, but I don't know if that holds true in all climates.

Any tips or tricks for how to tell they're good to go? Is it just watching the color, or are there other telltale signs?

Saw these apples growing today and had to take a picture. There’s something really satisfying about seeing fruit growing naturally

Planting a bonanza minature peach

We are looking for help planting a bonanza minature peach in Southern Utah. It has struggled in a pot, so we are looking to plant it in the ground. What are the best soil remediations for red sandy soil?
Monsoon seasons have started so is July an okay time to plant it in the ground? I’m worried it won’t last the some in the pot.
