The two cherry trees are doing fine. They both had fruit on this year.
The Macintosh and Honeycrisp apples do not have any fruit this year. They both did last year. The Honeycrisp is not a self pollinator. It needs the Macintosh. Apples tend to be cyclical. Some years hardly any. The next bountiful.

The two peach trees were supposed to do fine in this area. The second one has fruit on it, but has lost a lot of it leaves. I think it got some kind of blight or fungus. A lot of the leaves curled up and fell off.

All of my other plantings are doing well. We had a mild winter and a hot spring. The cherries have all come and gone already. Some of my blueberry bushes are loaded with fruit this year. The other variety have virtually none.

The flock of turkeys was eyeing them just yesterday.

“A lot of the leaves curled up and fell off.”

Anthracnose!

I’ve never seen a Sycamore without it, and it spreads throughout the neighborhood. It’s persistent and it sucks.

Eventually it gets everything, even your bush beans.

Clean horticultural practice, daconil and copper will get it under control. You have to be as persistent as it is.
