You will have to speak to a local horticulturist who can give you specific information on each variety of fruit tree that you have planted. Their information will be specific to the area where you live and the variety of trees you have planted! Hope you find out some good information!
Check the variety of your trees to make sure you have pollinators for them. A few types are self fertile. If you don't know how old the trees are or the variety, this will be difficult to determine if you need different varieties for pollination. Did you plant them yourself? If so, just look them up. Nursery sites will tell you whether they need another variety or not. It can take 2 to 4 years before fruiting, so that is a consideration, as well.
John, we have had apple, plum, and peach trees for years. We found apple trees need iron spikes to help them bear more fruit. Look at the local home improvement store garden area for a box and follow the instructs. The plum and peach trees do very well giving them Miracle Gro. My husband had to put in 2 x 4 supports to some of our peach tree branches it was so laden with fruit. Also, they all need plenty of water. To supplement the rain, we put up rain barrels at the corners of our large home to catch and hold water with lids and holes cut in the lid to keep the drain gutters in it. This keeps the water in and the mosquitoes and other bugs out. We watered often, especially in the growing season. Don't forget trees need water in the winter also when the weather allows it.
