    This is normal, for the most part. They will produce many more than they can sustain on the tree. Once the majority of the fruit drops, what is left should mature.

    If none of the fruit stays on to mature, I would look at soil nutrient levels. The tree may be lacking in Phosphorus and Potassium, or may have too much Nitrogen in the soil. This will cause the symptoms that you are seeing.

    If you intend to kill them, and they are your trees, then yes, doing so would be appropriate.

    If these are not your trees, or are on public property, you may want to contact your local extension service for help with this.

    There are a number of orange lilies, including daylilies and true lilies that form large clumps, but do not get as large as a shrub.

    It's best to take them out of the bags and give them air, light and water as you wait for favorable planting conditions.

    When you open the bags, there should be instructions for what to do with the plants on arrival.

    Your concern is legitimate. Avoid using the Pinesol solution or any other chemical cleaning products for watering trees. Pine oil is a fragrance only and the primary ingredients are petroleum and alcohol products.

    As far as where to purchase- We don't usually recommend specific vendors. You can try your local nurseries and sources, or online vendors such as Amazon, Etsy, or Ebay.
