I just recently bought a new home with some land. Through out the acres I have several hundred trees, however 5 or 6 stand out as not being the same as the others. They are planted together in a small area on one side of the property. I've posted here because I have some Pine trees I need to remove and for "survival" mindset priorities I plan to replace those Pines with some type of fruit trees. However I wanted to figure out what I had already here.
If someone had more knowledge then me, I'd appreciate some help. These are pics as of today and they are beginning to bud. Before someone says "just wait until they fruit!" .... When I moved in during the winter, I haven't seen any pits or rotten fruit on the ground. So I'm wondering if they aren't producing. The 1st one I'm hoping is some type of apple tree as it looks similar to apple trees at Lowes.

The best that I can tell is that you have a peach, the one with the pink blooms, the one that is just leafing out is a Pecan, I can't tell about the last for sure it could be a pear tree.

| I see two trees the first being a Malus sp. and the second I would call a pecan. Malus covers all the apples and includes the crabs so I would recommend on the first see how the fruit come out. and on the other wait and also see if it fruits much. A good pecan tree will make many pounds of nuts. Good apple trees that do not need much care are few and far between. |

Are you sure about the 1st one? I grew up with a Peach tree as a kid and my mom used to whip me with the switch branches. The 1st one doesn't have that. The second - I love Pecans! LOL If that's true I'm excited about that one. I haven't seen or found any shells or anything in that area though. Do they have an age where they begin to produce? I have a few others of the same type in a small area. Pear is good. I hope you're right. Anyone else with some ideas? |

WTF is the point of crab apples? 
The Pecan (#2) are small yet. I'm wondering if I have some more adult trees on the property. I think if I remember I was told the adult trees are Pine, Pecan, and Elm. |

Try using the Macro setting on close ups instead 
That said, I have no idea, lol, good luck Was taken with my iPhone. I was worried about that also. Hopefully they can be identified. I know we have some tree gurus around here on the forums. |

The Pecan (#2) are small yet. I'm wondering if I have some more adult trees on the property. I think if I remember I was told the adult trees are Pine, Pecan, and Elm. The leaves on the first tree look too broad and peach trees have more narrow leaves. They tend to grow green branches also. the Pecan tree looks close to the age where it will start growing though depending on location and age it can take 12 to 18 years to get a crop with subsequent crops getting better, and at maturity some crops will be better than others depending on weather. I do not have authorative knowledge of these trees but the nuts are great and a single large tree will provide enough nuts to make you sick of them! There are literaly hundereds of types of apple trees and the only difference between a crab and an apple is the size of the fruit. some crabs with the larger fruit are awesome! I have a hewes crab that makes hundreds of inch to inch and a half fruits that are very sweet and crunchy. I have had three (now one) apple tree that have to be sprayed two or three times a year for good fruit. The one that requires the least care has remained as it makes two or three bushels of apples a year. Good luck with them they preforme very differently in different areas which is why I said to let it fruit to see how it dose. Best of luck to you! |
