My Fruit trees

Hello
Im a new member and I have a question please.

3 years ago I planted 2 apple trees, a plum tree and a cherry tree. I have a south facing garden so they get sunshine but I have had no fruit from them yet, is this normal as they are too young or am I doing something wrong? Also what is best to spray them with to control any pests. I live in Scotland so it is still quite cold but so far even in August/September no fruit.
Many thanks

Two possibilities...If they're grafted onto vigorous rootstocks they'll take longer to start fruiting. Depending on the varieties and when they flower, if there's a frost during flowering it not only puts off the pollinators but can kill the flowers so no fruit.

 

Have they flowered?
What pests are you keen to remove? Most tree pests sort themselves out with the help,of birds etc.

 

Do you know what varieties they are?

 

The normal thing is that they are still to young to fruit, a couple of years is still a very young tree. It is also worth considering if they are self fertile. I would guess that the cherry and plum are likely partially self fertile, so you can expect a small quantity of fruit if there is any cross pollinating trees nearby.

 

The 4 trees are close enough to pollinate each other. I also noticed black mould type stuff on the leaves of one of them last year. I looked it up and Neem oil was a popular answer. Im not sure what it was, I cut away most of the black leaves as advised. Maybe they are just too young. Hopefully get fruit this year. They are all blossoming.

 

An apple tree won't pollinate a plum or a cherry. Depending on the varieties they may not even pollinate each other. The cherry is likely to be self-fertile. The plum might or might not be. You really need to know the names of the varieties because therein might lie the answer to your problem!
