The Apricot is a Goldmine semi-dwarf and the Indian Blood Peach is also a semi-dwarf.

The Apricot is very small and has the main branch pruned up about 5 feet. Sparce on the brahches. I have to constantly prune the suckers.(not sure why)

The Peach is lush and about 7 feet tall and about as wide. Very healthy looking. I made sure that I pruned it acording to Peach tree instructions. Well...lets hope I did.

My plum is an I-don't-know that was here and is old. The bark has a pulled away look to it. I was told by some tree friends of my neighbor, that maybe I din't beat it enough last year, so they did an indian dance to see if that would help. We didn't have any fruit stay on the plum again. Seems like we only have had about 20 one year and it seems like a Santa Rosa type.

Here is a picture of the bark of the plum. Not sure if anyone can tell by this. I get lots of small fruit and then they all fall off. Very frustrating. Thanks.
