Beginner Gardening: Blueberries not ripening, 1 by shelwatson

Three years ago we planted some dwarf fruit trees: peach, fig, cherry and apricot. The apricot, the only one in a large clay pot, is doing well. The other three are in smaller, deeper, ceramic pots that are glazed. They are not doing well. My boyfriend thinks the pots retain water and doesn't ever want to water them - to the point that last year the cherry wilted several times from lack of water. Perhaps the glazed pots are retaining some water - but the trees in these pots are NOT doing well. Hardly any blossoms this year and the peach looks like lots of the ends of the wood have turned black. Does anyone have a recommendation for these? Should we have these trees in unglazed pots? I've used organicide to control pests and fungus, hopefully, but am at a loss? I've attached a pic from last year. The trees don't look this good this year.
