My grandfather used to put the branches he pruned off the fruit trees in water for three days. Then he would submerge them into an aloe leaf and smuther the goo all over it. Afterwards he would plant them in a pot until it had roots. Free trees every year

Listen, you can't do this to me. My husband and I just moved into a new home with quite a bit of land, and I swore to him that we'd leave the outside to next year. Then, I planted 2 fig trees, in ornamental pots, bc the house should look good right? Now though I want a whole damn orchard. The slippery slope is real.

@elevatorsRockOnsMom 2 месяца назад

Had a neighbor who would trick his peach tree into thinking it had more chill hours by putting bags of ice near the trunk. The melting ice on the roots caused faked enough chill hours to cause the tree to lose the last of its leaves.

As long as the roots are well established, you can cut the fig trees down to just above ground level. They'll come back healthier & bushier than ever. We live in central Texas & that's the way to get a good fruit set. (Figs set better fruit on new wood.) Cut it back severely every 2 or 3 years & you'll have new wood for fruit set.

I've felt critical at times of the kind of money that gets spent on the homestead. I can't hope to have all the fancy coops and greenhouses and ponds but you have truly been very good about all the criticism on here. Your customer will be ok with your prices and it's great that you will be trying to get them more affordable over time. I'm not your high end customer but I can learn to propagate fig cuttings, grow from seed and start with smaller plants for less $. The people who complain are ok to do that but as a business owner myself I know how hard it is to source quality for a decent wholesale price. Add special shipping to that in order to make sure the tree survives and is delivered in good health and it might be the best price one can get for the service. I'll trudge out to the nursery or ask for cuttings from friends. Rich people get theirs delivered. I'm sure we will both appreciate the fruit.

My home orchard is already 8 years old, I had space for 18 trees and opted for 3 apple (Jonathan, Starkrimson and Golden delicious), 5 pear (Williams, Jubilee and Bergamot), 3 plum (Stanley and Centenar), 3 apricot, 2 peach, a sweet cherry and a sour cherry trees. I live in a colder climate so peach and apricot varieties are limited by their ability to survive winter, but even if fruits are smaller than what you'd get from a supermarket it's still nice to pick them fresh from my own back yard.

@epicgardening 2 месяца назад

Wow, you have some AWESOME pear varieties!

@misss7777 Месяц назад

Yes, somehow we colder climates have the opposite prroblem. I am from Germany and the most popular fruits for planting over here are heritage apples, cherries, plums and pears as well. We have a lot of a little bit more sour apple varieties which are perfect for apple pies or strudel. The sweet varieties just don't have that nice contrasting flavour a good apple pie needs.

I started gardening about 3 years ago. I mixed my own soil and use it for my garden boxes as well as my pots and containers. It's been working awesome and short of mixing specifically for carrot bed, all my vegetables use the same mix and do very well. I was able to use the limited amount of extra dirt around my yard which had been very neglected. I used a combination of several things to amend the dirt and now have some really good soil.

@bdctrans70 2 месяца назад

We only have our apple tree that is left from our little orchard. We had everything we enjoyed to eat, apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries and plums. I do recommend getting two of each and all dwarf trees, all 6ft or taller if you are in a mid-to-northern state. Don't get the smaller 3 to 4-foot-high saplings, spend the extra money and get the larger potted trees to give yourself and the trees and good foundation to grow from. Dwarfs make life easier for the home gardener, especially if you are getting up there in age, it will be easier to maintain and harvest after they start bearing fruit. We made the mistake with the cherry and plum trees, many of those fruits went to waste every year after the trees hit over 20 feet. The birds, squirrels, deer and badgers were happy with the fallen fruit, but it did attract many unwanted insects too. We also set up bird and insect boxes around them for pollination. Our nectarines and peaches were out of this world!

Hi Kevin, was wondering if you can make a video of up potting in details. I have a owari satsuma and a meyer lemon tree in a 10 gal pot for two years now. How do I know it’s time to up pot it into a bigger pot (15 gal?) without taking it out of its current pot? Then lets say after I up pot it to 15 gal, how long can I keep it in the 15 gal before up potting again? Is there a common knowledge about up potting? Do backyard gardeners keep up potting every couple of years ? I’m a 60 years old lady who don’t have the strength to keep up potting to 20 gal, 25 gal pot. Since I don’t have anymore space in my small backyard, What can someone like me do? Like after says 3-4 years in a 10 gal pot, can I take it out and trim all the roots at the bottom and the sides and put it back into the same 10 gal pot? Please if you can do a detail video explaining how to do it, I would greatly appreciate your insight and help. Thank you

And an unproven variety unfortunately!

@carlynmydarlin 2 месяца назад

Are these all self pollinating varieties? Regardless, hopefully a neighbor has fruit trees near by to help pollinate. :) An arborist might advise to not step on the tree roots when planting, rather use water to help the dirt get all the way down, around and settled. Either way we’re trying to get the big air pockets out and for the roots to have full dirt contact. Especially in clay soil the roots could want to start wrapping around the tree and choke out the main root/trunk if the initial hole isn’t quite large enough. A lot of trees unfortunately come pretty root bound starting this process from the get go. These roots in the video today look really healthy so there’s much less and a chance of them wrapping themselves around. What a fun Spring project!! I’m glad to learn there’s cold hardy figs. Sweet! Watching the cherry get pruned was tough. 😂 I know I need to do the same thing on my new trees. ☹️

Would you ever consider doing a picture submission to do a garden makeover for a subscriber?

Ì prune maybe 1/3 of my Eureka lemon every year to keep it manageable and it LOVES the abuse. But I made the nursery staff do the first shaping cuts on my baby apple...it felt too painful.😢💚

Haha it's a familiar feeling among all of us! Hurts to cut

Genuine question: Are container grown home orchards viable? I love the idea of having producing fruit trees but am always nervous about having a home that may not be my forever home and then all my hard work may end up for nothing and I'd have to start over again...
