This channel provides videos that show how apples, pears, peaches,plums and nectarines are grown on modern fruit farms. There are also a few home improvement and some other videos on the channel.
Remarkable that with the cites treaty that so much poaching smuggling and devastation to minute populations is still occurring. This has been going on since man discovered his fascination with a living plant in a pot. I have Haemanthus Altifrons, Velthiemia, Lebedourias & Sea Onion. Congratulations to this man for finding true deep knowledge & fulfillment.
Hi Josie, it depends on your soil and climatic conditions. It's best for you to contact your local government agricultural offices and ask them. Best wishes.
One very important detail you missed- apricots and other stone fruit should only be pruned while the sap is flowing in the early part of the growing season so as to avoid eutypa rot. Also make sure to prune only when its dry and will be for several days after pruning
But when is it ideal to do it. If it’s gonna be “one year old wood” prune right after harvesting in early summer or when the tree is dormant in the fall. Thank you for the video.
Your pruning videos are the best I've seen in the last 5 years. Thank you for all the useful instructions on caring for fruiting wood. I haven't found these anywhere else
Hi Minifoil, Good question, well spotted. I had the agricultural expert, who is white, do the demonstrations when I filmed the close-ups. We had to be sure that the demonstrations in the close-ups were done correctly.
@@gmtv734 My first impression from your comment is that your black workers cannot get it done correctly because they do not have white hands. I was born in the USSR and retired from US aerospace. I am just telling you my first impression about what you said. The technical part of your video is useful and I will try it.
@@minifoil6613 Hi Minifoil, no, not at all, most of the black farm workers do a fantastic job. Making videos is very expensive however, and I wanted to be sure that we got it right the first time, I don't have the budget to go back and re-film if something is demonstrated incorrectly. Therefore we film the expert doing the demonstration and then I can be sure that it is done correctly in one shoot. There is also the seasonal factor. If a demonstration is done incorrectly we may have to wait for a year before thinning is done again and we can re-do the demo. So we try take every precaution to make sure that we get it right the first time
@@patrapper7367 Americans do care about the colors a lot. One of the most racist country on our planet -just an observations from a Soviet born after 30 years in the US
I"m living in MN (zone 4 B). I got some Asian pear trees. I watched a lot of clips about pruning. I'm confusing about that. What's different between summer pruning and winter pruning? which one for more fruit and which one for shape
This is an excellent video in that it nails down the simple idea of "the mother and the children". Just brilliant. I am an experienced enough pruner, but this just never occurred to me about the peaches. This is the only video about peach pruning that is very clear about structural limbs (the mother) and the one-year old growth (the children). No other video about peach pruning was able to just spell the idea out - they just go around and around and basically do what I have been doing myself. I now will go back to my sorry looking, leggy "peach project" and apply this new to me idea. Those unaware of the various wood growth ages - please do study up. This is a very basic and yet fundamental idea of the fruit tree pruning. You must know you old wood from your young wood. This video is *not* at fault for talking about the young wood - it is a basic concept about the wood that grew over the last summer.
What about when new wood grows straight up towards the sky off a lateral branch? Should that be allowed to remain and just trimmed back to 4 nodes or no more than 2 feet? I thought anything except a central leader growing straight up should be removed.
very underrated video... you are providing best crisp and clear knowledge that is understandable by a beginner like me...your videos have cleared all my concepts about growing and maintaining fruit trees...
Cutting into one year old wood means less fruit that year but more the following? Lot of people dont remove obe year old shoot.. This is reason, that my tree gives only big crop every 2/3 year beside march frost? Thanks
I have been watching pruning videos for the last 7 years and I have learned a lot the hard way. Your instructions are probably the best that I have seen and I found your videos to be very in tune and more educational that most, thank you.
Hi, Nice to see your videos on different types of trellis system being used presently for trees support in high densities, are informative. Please tell, which is the best material for making trellis, being wooden, steel, concrete made or any other as also the type of wire or its diameter? Kindly respond soon
Hi Harish, Wood is generally used for the support poles and steel wire is used for the cross supports. Best to speak to an agricultural expert in your area to determine the type of wood and the thickness of the wire and poles, as it depends on what is available in your area.
