Certified ExpertA.This really depends on the type of fruit, the conditions around the plant, and a whole lot of other things. I will need some pictures, and quite a bit of information on the plants care, what kind of soil, the lighting, and any other information you can give.

LondonQ.Are dwarf type GMO
Hi I'm new to gardening and wanted to know if you can make any fruit tree into a super dwarf type? Thanks

Certified ExpertA.Yes. You can make any fruit tree a dwarf, as long as you graft it to a dwarf rootstock of the type of fruit tree that you have.
For example: Many citrus are dwarfed by grafting onto the rootstock of the "Flying Dragon" Trifoliate Orange.

LondonQ.Dwarf Vs Pruning
Instead of grafting onto a dwarf variety to gain dwarfism can I keep my fig trees dwarf by pruning alone? (Starting growth by seed) I don't really don't want to graft my fig tree? Many thanks

Certified ExpertA.This will be a complicated task that will require some bonsai work.
You can do some preparation, as long as the tree is still very small. You will have to treat it as a bonsai, and it won't fruit to its potential, although it may stay alive for several years. Just make sure to follow proper bonsai technique.

Certified ExpertA.It would be hard to say without a photo of the beetle and tree, or at least the type of tree in question.
I can recommend general solutions, but it is always best to know the exact tree and culprit responsible. This will help me to give you the best advice on a solution.
For now, I will include a few articles that you will find useful.

32068Q.I am trying to find fruit trees/shrubs that will be safe to plant where horses and donkeys can eat them. I’m not having much
luck, so I would appreciate any help. I live on 2 acres with 2 mustangs and 2 donkeys. So far I have planted rose bushes and bamboo which they promptly ate. It seems like I have to research every plant individually and I would rather just have info on what is known to be toxic as they seem to want to eat everything that I plant. Thank you for whatever advice you can give.

Certified ExpertA.Here is a list of plants and trees that are known to be toxic to horses: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/plants-poisonous-to-horses.htm
I would also add that, while apples are safe in small quantities, they also contain cyanogenic glycosides. An entire tree's worth may not be such a good idea.
