OK, I've been watching this Irvine Apple project develop over the past few years and seriously waiting for THIS video. Excellent results and fruiting! Thanks, Tom and DWN! (Killer truck in the background in the beginning, BTW)
Good evening Tom Real pleasure to see all those different apple varieties grown in California. They look delicious. Thanks so much for the video and good luck to the Irvine project.
Thank you for following up with a new video on this project! I was super curious about how it was progressing. Since this is a no-spray project, I hope you might be able to provide a little more info as the project unfolds about disease susceptibility/resistance. I'm especially interested in fireblight resistance, but others in different climates will be concerned with scab as well. Glad to see that you gave positive reviews to a few varieties I've been trying myself.
Great video, who would of thought apples in the OC. But tell those pickers to quit throwing those apples into the buckets, they're bruising the hell out of them.
Another great video. I'd love to suggest more video focused on care for trees once we get them home. I have four different Dave Wilson trees on my small suburban lot but have never had a great yield, mostly due to Codling Moth issues. Thanks for the great videos and trees!
I'm just beginning to think about which trees to grow and I really want to use some old varieties that are delicious but fell out of favor maybe just because of how they held up for market/shipping, etc... LOVED this video!
Dave Wilson nursery work is amazing. His work will inspire many peoples to grow varities in desert and low chill area. Sir is providing valuable information. One problem is there can we import it India. Please reply sir.
I wish you had added Honey crispy apple too. I have planted it at last year. It seems grow so far so good. Also, I have 30yrs old Fuzi apple doing well in my backyard that I planted when I bought this house in San Diego 30yrs ago
Unfortunately that's not the case with cherries or other stone fruit. We do offer three low-chill cherry options though, Our new low-chill and self-fertile Royal Crimson, and also Minnie Royal and Royal Lee.
Dave Wilson Nursery I started with an Stella cherry two years ago, but last year I bought the Royal Crimsom, Minnie Royal and Royal Lee. I just wondering to have hope with the Stella. Thank you
When will Zaiger release some more cold winter compatible pluots? I'd love to grow some of theirs but supposedly they don't do well in the pacific northwest.
@@DaveWilsonTrees Thanks so much for the info! I'll definitely be getting some of these. All of your trees that I've bought so far are doing fabulously.
For a limited time yes. Gro Bag will last two to three years. Be sure to keep scaffold and branching pruned in balance with the amount of root space the bag provides. That balance is the key to success.
@@DaveWilsonTrees awesome, just got 3 in one apple and cherry, it gets very hot here in summer and now snowing a bit now.It will give me time to know where the best spot will be, love your videos.
If the base variety behave ok, there's no reason one clone or the other not to do the same. The mutations of one clone vs the base variety is marginal, 0.001% so 99.99% it will be fine.
Southern California is not the best place for the commercial production of apples, so that kind of just became the fact over the years. But many apple varieties produce fine for the backyard grower.
I was surprised the Golden Delicious picker was throwing the apples so hard. Doesn't that bruise them? I'm new to your channel and hoping to find info to avoid the nasty sprays, especially since my Red Delicious tree and my friend's Golden Delicious one get so very wormy.
That worm is from the codling moth, for which you can buy traps. You’ll need a mating disruption also- I’ve always sprayed. They make pheromones and traps, I’m not sure what the combinations are, or what is available over the counter.
