Great listen. Good job and thanks for the information.

So glad it was helpful!

I’m so glad he confirmed NOT to cut the main terminal off to fill in each cordon before allowing it to grow upright. I’ve been letting mine grow and seeing success for several years. If I have a cordon not cooperating, I can make a notch or graft a bud to fill it in.

@Orchardpeople Месяц назад

Good to hear your experience with that. Thanks for sharing!

@jgreen8298 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Mr. Perry!

@Orchardpeople 6 месяцев назад

Agreed!

Any chance you’re going to do a follow up to this interview?

@Orchardpeople Месяц назад

Glad you liked the interview! I’m sure I’ll have him back one day. We are lucky to have him as a monthly guest in the monthly meetup group that I have for my students at learn.orchardpeople.com.

Susan, I train my grapes on a structure 3 meters wide using steel posts and a rigid tube (EMT) to prevent the posts from leaning together, a 12 Meter cable is not practical for a backyard to set bushels of apples on eight trees. Another option in the U.S. is Cattle panels/Hog Panels is becoming popular as a quick fence in a grid pattern.. I ordered (Cortland, Pink lady, and Sweet 16) apple trees on EMLA M26 to make a privacy hedge with different harvest dates; as Dr Perry indicated there is more work involved to retrain a tree to a fence. One of the problems I encountered is the nursery does not identify their rootstock to retail customers and there is a lot of confusion between the M9 and M111 dwarfing size as one is a 25% tree and the other is an 80% tree.

@Orchardpeople 6 месяцев назад

Hog panels are a great idea!

In the first 5 minutes, he states that you may be best off removing a tree that is too vigorous. This is not always necessary. You can attempt to reduce vigor by girdling the tree. In dormant season, use a saw or chainsaw to make a horizontal cut in the trunk about 6”-12” above ground - cutting 25% to 50% through the trunk. For a very overly vigorous tree - then, 12”-18” above the first cut, make the same cut on the opposite side of trunk. The number of these cuts, the depth of these cuts, and the spacing between the cuts all contribute to the level of impact. This is done in commercial apple tree production.

Fantastic suggestions! Thanks …

I would love images added to explain the Lorette system as you're talking; or the umbrella system you talked about 25:29 as I can't be sure what I'm picturing is accurate. Thanks for this incredible video. :)

@Orchardpeople 4 месяца назад

Those are great suggestions! This year I hope to write my next book and it’s going to be about fruit tree pruning, so I’ll be sure to keep your suggestions in mind and make sure there’s images of those things in the book. Also, now, when I host new podcasts, there are always images in them because I agree with you, it’s easier to visualize when you have pictures. In any case, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video!

So did Ron say Semi Dwarfing rootstock is too vigorous for good espalier and you really need dwarfing rootstocks? What about when soil conditions might not be suitable for a particular rootstock. Thus would a semi dwarfing be OK since the soil and local growing conditions would also contribute to limiting the tree growth habit.

@Orchardpeople Год назад

Great question! There are a number of ways to keep fruit trees small. One of the most important is dwarfing rootstocks. But other factors can further slow growth like soil and conditions, root competition etc. Does that make sense?
