fruit trees

Brendakathleen
9 years ago

purchased home this year. First summer here and there are lots of fruit trees - cherry, apricot, plum, pear and peach. However, they all look distressed and diseased. Fruit falls off early with black dots on the fruit, the leaves have holes and the leave are blackened. The trees have been neglected apparently for many years. Where do I begin? Is there something I can do now or do I need to wait until the fall? I have no experience with fruit trees. Thank you.
