What type of seeds does a grafted fruit tree produce? Are the seeds the root stock?
The rootstock is necessary only for what its roots can do, and the scion only for the fruit that its branches and leaves will produce. In other words, the seeds from any fruit produced will come from the scion (or branch) plant.
I would like to know how to keep the tent worms from starting nests in our fruit trees. Do they crawl up there and lay the eggs for next year, or does a flying critter lay the eggs there?

My fruits are coming out very small. I removed part of the half and still they are too small. What could be the problem?
Generally, this is due to poor pollination. Too much fruit set can also lead to small fruit size as well. In addition, a lack of water can decrease the size of your fruit.
I saw some recipes for homemade garden sprays using very hot peppers to spray to discourage insects from attacking ones fruit trees. Can I combine neem oil? From early spring (buds) until. . . do I need to be spraying through the entire growing season until harvest to keep infestation down to a minimum? Is there a point during the growing season when bugs are'nt trying to lay eggs on fruit?
I suggest you check with your local extension office (found under gov't in your phone book) for a spray schedule for fruit trees in your area. That will give you a better idea of when and how often you need to spray your trees.
NO don't mix the neem with other sprays. Most of the homemade garden sprays that include hot peppers as intended as an insect repellant. Neem is an insecticide and does kill the pests. When working with fruit trees using organic methods, you might want to consider light horticultural oil as another control method. Just depends on what type of fruit tree you are growing and what particular insect problems you are having.
