@@VeronicaSilva-ek5hl if scab is the problem then your tree should recover next spring. Scab doesn’t typically kill trees but it sure can make them look like they’re dying. Maybe a bit of fertilizer this fall and a spray program starting in the spring. Cultural controls are very important, clean up all the leaves and old fruit before the tree leaves out next spring.
Nice work could you of used old cow shit that been piled for a few years as a fertilizer i tried one time and i got alot of growth alot of growth and i been using my grass clippings around young trees i really think is working great for me this drought hurt the size of my apples i did water a few times and my enterprise are huge and royal courtlands done good everything else is on the small side this year but i got more than me and my neighbors can use lol
Yea, composted cow manure is great stuff, if you can get your hands on some wood chips and mix that in with the cow poop that would be absolute gold! Glad to hear that you had a good harvest.
If you are planning on being serious about growing the channel it might be a good idea to change your mic or get a muff for it. The noise from the wind is bad, otherwise good video!
I can't get to wood chips, so I buy bags of wood shavings that I also put into the chicken coop. Is that good? It seems like it did good last year and then I alco add a ton of leaves. We have an oak tree that sheds it leaves all the time and never goes dormant. So I have a ton of leaves. I just wanted to make sure the pine shavings were ok.
Could you try to graft the tree that is broke bad and I am having a good peach year right did loose a few limbs but all in all my trees faird pretty good
@@frankspataro9714 I could but I’ll probably just cut it off just below the wound this winter and let it re sprout new branches in the spring. Peaches are pretty good at doing that
@healthyhorticulture cool I hope it works out for you I have more than I need this year could of thinned em even more but I am good now Alberta and reliance peaches both done great this year thanks for your help and tips
Really appreciate this video. Have a Bloodgood with a wound. Bought both this products for cheap on Amazon and will do what you did next weekend. Thank you!
We moved into an older property with gorgeous apple and cherry trees. The cherries are spectacular and we haven't had to do much but ask the crows to share! But, the apples are riddled with scab. Listening to getting ahead next spring sounds like the only solution now. In the meantime, I have questions for anyone who can help: 1) I'm in the PNW, and the rain season is Oct-June, so when do I spray? Apples are still on the tree in Sept and our silver tip season occurs at the same time of our constant rain season. 2) There is a lot of lichen on our tree trunks and boughs. Should I be concerned about this? Many thanks from this newbie!
This is my first year at growing apple trees and this tutorial was very helpful. Right now all 3 of my apple trees have cedar rust, I think. I'm having a hard time identifying the type of disease they have. I just hope they make it until next spring when I have the knowledge to care for them. I appreciate your sharing of knowledge, but I did find your video a bit hard to watch. I'm 67, and still at my old slow age. I found your explaining too slow. I sped it up to 150% and then its perfect.
TWO questions: The young Cortland and Macintosh trees we planted last fall (in our Massachusetts backyard) have now lost many leaves (one worse than the other) due to what looks like Cedar Apple Rust. We have very old, very mature trees on our property as well--one apple that is losing (yellow) leaves as I write this. 1) Will our trees come back if we spray with a fungicide during the timeframe you recommend next spring (before rains--petal fall)? We are not looking for edible fruit necessarily, but are trying to replace two extremely old, rotted apple trees that were in the yard until last year. 2) Is Serenade still on the market? The chatter on line states that it is not. Thank you for all your great information!
Aphids love trees that are distressed. An arborist told me to water my mature tree more and fertilize it, and spray the tree with water to physically knock off the aphids. I did that, plus got some ladybugs that immediately flew away, and now I can’t find any aphids. The new leaves are now flat and glossy, like they should be. I didn’t think it would work, but it sure did.
Great videos! I plan to watch them all. Thanks for making them. Do you think round up persists in the soil? Could you do a video on how long chemical pesticides persist? You said that you use them sparingly. Wondering even if you use them once how long that stay in the soil? Just an idea for a video.
@healthyhorticulture I just planted two trees with this issue, a Pink Lady & Golden Delicious. I just watered them like crazy to help them establish roots a bit, until they started to put on a couple of leaves. Then I went to town chopping off all affected leaves I could find & throwing them in the trash. I spritzed the whole tree with celestial seasoning's cinnamon apple spice tea. I plan on using the Captain copper spray in the springtime as it starts to flower. Glad I saw this though, I was planning on planting a juniper! I'm in an inner city environment, so that fungus has a lot of hurdles to jump before it gets to my apple trees to re-infect them. None of my immediate neighbors have cedars or junipers... Any further advice? Or have I done about everything I can do? Also I hear sulfur spray work well... What are your thoughts? Have you tried it before?
Really glad I found you... you know your stuff! My question: How do I get rid of Cedar Apple Rust once my tree gets it? It sounded to me like preventative spraying was recommended but it's too late for that for me as my tree already has it bad. Interestingly, my Honey Crisp got it but my Golden Delicious (10 feet away) did not. Is my apple tree going to die? How do I get rid of Cedar Apple Rust? (BTW, our yard is surrounded by junipers so, there is no getting rid of them.) Thanks!
There’s nothing you can do at this point. Most of the leaves will probably fall off but your tree won’t die. Keep the trees watered during dry spells and maybe a light fertilizing just to help them through any stress, then work preventativly next spring. Hope that helps.
