i had all kinds of fruit trees,but now they are dying off most are 40 years old

Lots of apple orchards locally here. I own a good bit of blueberry bushes too.

But so do apple maggot flies and I don't want to spray because it harms all insects, so I don't use the apples

I personally don't have any on my home's property but I do have access to plenty of farms where I go to "pick your own"

I have peach, apple and fig trees. Bonus is access to many orchards and farmers markets.

We have two apple trees in our backyard 🍎

My mom has a couple of young apple trees, but since we live in northern Michigan cherry and apple orchards are an easy drive away. We pick every year!
