Excellent video as always Tom ..would really like it if you made more videos..A true professional. "Spend more time with your trees" Spoken by a man who loves fruit trees ! Thanks again.
That was helpful, even though I work with the tree frequently, I need clues to look for to know what wood to keep in the winter, 6+ months after blooming. Thanks!
This is so helpful! I love how you highlight the importance of spending time with your trees to learn from them. I was wondering if you could clarify what the fruiting wood is for the Spice Zee Nectaplum. Thanks again for all these incredibly helpful videos!
Spice Zee is the same as the peach in this video. You can tell the fruiting wood as it will be full of little spurs, that produce the flowers/fruit. the other growth will be much smoother. If you continuously top your tree at the height you like, and prune the center open for sun and air, you will produce fruiting wood.
I was curious about pruning for an open center and sunscald in the Sacramento Valley. My Liz's Late Nectarine suffered from sunscald last summer. It is still a young tree, and didn't have much leaf cover. Any thoughts?
forexercises its a good idea to paint your tree for sunburn protection. Mix indoor paint 50/50 with water and apply from the ground up to where it branches and can shade itself.
That is not usually a big problem, especially later on. Are you sure it was sun damage? Sometimes spring rain can damage the flower, and show up in the fruit as cracking that might look like sunburn.
It was brown leathery patches on the fruit with a bit of scaring, about 1-2" in diameter, fruit color mottled on edges of brown part. Look like it had been in the tanning bed for too long. :-D
forexercises Grow this season to increase shade capability and build fruiting structure. Early in the season remove any fruit exposed to the south/west exposure.
Good morning I am getting two fig trees, one Italian and one black misson and 2 plum trees, one methley and one shiro can I plant them 2 in 1 hole at about 24 inches apart? They are standard trees in my home garden. Thanks
