Name: greene Savannah, GA (Sunset 28) (Zone 8b) I have no use for internet bullies!
Most fruit trees are grafted to a strong root stock. In the second photo it looks like the fresh new growth may be coming from the root stock plant and will not be the same as the tree you planted.
When you plant trees in an area where deer are present you will need to surround each tree with wire fencing to protect it.
Hope this helps.
