Thanks for the advice. The stone fruit tree is indeed a brand new purchase for this year, and the apple tree had a really rough first year. I first had it planted in the bottom of the yard thinking that was a good spot for it. Well apparently the deer also thought this was a good spot for it, lol. I had to literally dig it back out of the ground and move it into that giant pot to keep them from totally killing it. I waited until a rainy day when the ground was wet to get it out and thankfully i would say i got around 95% of the root system out intact, i call it dumb luck. They shouldnt be able to get to the other tree because that is fenced off.

Here are some closer up photos that i took this morning. I am noticing some of those grafted buds on the apple tree turning a more red shade of color like they want to try to wake up and get going. also please point out if there is anything i need to remove, as i am a newbie at growing these
