Fruit Trees - Apple, Pear and Cherry

14 years ago

Oh where do I start? A yr ago we bought property in Ohio, zone 5. We have 6 acres, 1/2 is wooded with marsh. On the perimeter of yard vs woods we have several apple trees, a couple of pear trees and several wild raspberry bushes. In addition, in the yard we have a beautiful cherry tree.

The apple and pear all produce fruit however it is not edible. I believe it's because of worms, insects of some kind. Can we save these and turn them into edible fruit? Will spraying make a difference?

Our cherry tree started to produce fruit last year and then all of a sudden we noticed that the fruit was gone. Cherries were not big but started forming and were red. Then poof, gone. Birds?

I know there are several issues in this post but I would be happy to get any responses. We are typically very good with plants/landscaping, etc but fruit trees, not so much.
