Hi all, I just came into care of this tree a few months ago. I'm suspecting there are multiple problems here so I wanted to get the experts opinion on what cocktail to solve it with. From browsing this thread it looks like sooty mold + anthracnose. The fruit set this year was poor and almost all fruit was damaged. I don't know the cultivar (Haden?) so I attached a picture of the tree if anyone can ID it. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the great advice Chris. I made some cuts today but still some more to go. I don't think I have the heart to cut that fat bottom branch, haha.
Expect another picture from me when it's trimmed up some more!
Can someone help me with my 8/9 y.o. Sabara? Tree fruits but only 1-2x/year with a smaller yield (considering its size). I know it needs pruning so I took out a lot of the lower branches and the smaller branches growing off the trunks inside the tree.
Should I keep pruning the lower branches? Thin it out at the middle? Leave it and see how it fruits since pruning? I'm really not sure! Pictures are before pruning, after pruning, then inside the tree. Thanks!
