north Florida apples, peaches and pears

A couple of pics from my fruit tree orchard, 2 Anna apples and a pear, possibly "hood" did not read the tag. My orchard has not been fertilized this spring and it shows it, also the irrigation is down pending some big freeze caused damage to be repaired... so...but .lately water has not been a problem. Moved 3 newly planted persimmons back into pots and into the ICU for my plants and look to be re energizing ok.

I let nature take its course temporarily, things will improve. I have learned a whole bunch about micro climates on my property and peaches in general, heavy feeders and need lots of water to get good yield, A peach tree not my in the orchard but near my house was well taken care and was loaded with fruit and looks to be picture of health. BTW, you can barely see the bulk of fruit, most of the peaches are under the branches. Olive trees have been a disappointment. We have had enough cold but I think the warm February threw a monkey wrench into the enough chill hours formula. I will have to contact UF to get some answers.
