I don’t know if this’ll help figure out what this is but l also have a hickory nut tree close by and If you crack open a nut the kernel is also a watery jell. I talked to the forestry department and they said that they didn’t know anything about fruit trees but there is a lot of things that will attack a hickory nut and it wasn’t the same thing, but to me the opening hickory nut looks identical to one of the seeds from one of my fruit trees

Treatment choices if it is weevils include:
1: pyrethrum spray the trunk
2: sticky tape around the base of the trees to catch them
3: a line of petroleum jelly around the trunk to catch them
4: maybe painting the trunks with a white wash, like done with citrus will do
5: keeping the ground clear - maybe run chooks around to eat them

Hope it's that simple, good luck.

I live in southern Ohio and some type of what I believe is a worm is attacking all of my tree ( peaches, cherries, plums,apples, pears) I haven’t gotten any fruit for about 3 yrs. With the peaches it starts when they are about the size of a quarter then they get a pin hole in them and just fall off a couple weeks later. I have cut them open to look for a worm but can’t see anything, but If you cut open the seed it’s hollow with just water. The cherries are the same they get the size of a pea and get a black speck on them then a couple weeks later it turns black and falls off. Same with the plums. Apples and pears get golf ball size and fall off. I have tried spaying with fruit tree spray in the fall, spring before they bloom, after they bloom and after the fruit sets on. I don’t know what to do or what this is. Any help would be greatly appreciated
