Expert Response

Lets see, you have pear trellis rust on the pear: https://pnwhandbooks.org/plantdisease/host-disease/pear-pyrus-spp-trellis-rust-european-pear-rust

There is apple scab on the fruit: https://pnwhandbooks.org/plantdisease/host-disease/apple-malus-spp-scab

and the persimmon just has not been fertilized which why they have dropped.
