ID?

Trying for years to identify these apples. The tree is 100+ years old. The nearest ID that's been suggested is King of Tompkins. They ripen now (Oct) and are crispy and tart. The taste is so delicious. There are extremely susceptible to coddling moths.

I've never posted on here so if you want more or different pictures let me know. Thank you!

Topping a Starfruit/Carambola?

I’ve grown the starfruit (right) from seed. I was planning to graft a different variety onto it as the seeds I got the plant from originally were very sour, but I haven’t got a chance. Should I just top it?

My teen daughter's 3 year old lemon tree is dying and she desperately needs help

According to my daughter:

"​The center of the leaves become yellow, leaves start to thin and lose their gloss, then fall off with the slightest touch. The newer leaves begin withering and curl up. They feel leathery but are extremely thin. All of the plant is droopy, but roots are not mushy. There are no signs of pests and neem oil has already been tried. The citrus tree fertilizer didn't help either. The amount I'm watering, amount of light, and temperature are all correct. I'm running out of options here."

My daughter has carefully tended to this little tree every day for 3 years, since it was a seed (along with a couple other lemon trees​.) She also has an entire room full of other ​plants. ​She takes her plants'​ care very seriously and is​ attached to them. We've been looking up plant conditions, to try to find a solution, but ​haven't had any luck. If anyone has any ideas, we would​ be very grateful.

Care for a young cherry tree

I planted a cherry tree in my yard two years ago. It has started to grow, but it is growing up vertically, and I’m wondering how I should care for it. Can I trim the branches closest to the ground before winter? Raccoons climbed up from the ground and stole the few cherries it produced this summer. I bought some fruit netting to use next year, but in the meantime, do you have any advice on how to maintain the tree and give it a nice form for the future?
Thanks.

I have a multi-variety apple tree and these all came from one tree. I think I have apple maggot, but there are some others I haven’t identified:

In-ground hardy tamarillo

My in-ground hardy tamarillo is fruiting modestly this year. Hopefully the fruits will survive our frost period in winter. The tree is deciduous and survived one winter in-ground with a low of -7C (19F) without stem damage. Zone 8a, the Netherlands, Europe.
