Have you had a soil test done to test for nutrients and micro-nutrients in the soil ?
Use a well balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer for your fruit trees and garden.
Dig a $20.oo dollar hole for a $10.oo dollar tree to encourage spreading root development.
Plan on applying a "dormant oil spray" in early springtime for your cherry and apple trees, as it will suffocate insects and pests prior to leafing out on the trees.
Protect young fruit seedlings from mouse damages with metal screening, and remove any mulch accumulation from around tree base to discourage mouse setting up housing.
Possible deer damage requires more taller, sturdier fencing.
