Tom Spellman and Phil Pursel stop by our Red Rock Ranch growing grounds and monitor tree growth throughout the summer. Checks are made in July, September and November and growing techniques are discussed.
I’ve watched so many of your videos and they never disappoint. This one though, is wonderful and the time and effort is notable. Thank you so much for sharing so freely.
Hell yes! A new DWN video with that cheesy "DELICIOUS" opening. Love these videos. I like low grafts because they make it simple to grow a lower plant in a container. I still need to add a stone-fruit to my collection one of these years. But I'd like to be able to multi-graft it, and I know I can't graft patented varieties...
Очень интересно, мы подвязываем отрастающие побеги к деревянному или железному колышку. Такой вариант вижу впервые. Very interestingly, we tie the growing shoots to a wooden or iron peg. This option I see for the first time
Nice video and beautiful trees. All the tree are in good health and their growth is wonderful. Can you please show the start of these trees how you grow them. Do you use seeds or cuttings? How do you collect those seeds or cuttings? Which process do they go through and how they are looked after. I feel without that kind of information, your video of growing these fruit trees, will not be complete. Surely your trees are the best. Please keep on good work and share it with all those who are following you.
Tom, love your work great video. Just have a quick question regarding fertilizing plants. I have seven different varieties of blueberry growing well with a few with the tell tale signs of nitrogen deficiency. In Australia we have just finished summer and we are into the first month of autumn would it be better to let the trees go dormant and fertilize at the start of spring or do it now to correct the issue. I'm only worried if i do it now the trees will not go dormant. Thanks
Tom, I'm enjoying your videos and learning a lot! Could you please do an apple pruning video? Is it true they fruit on only the 2 yr+ wood? If so, how do you do yearly pruning, without losing fruiting potential, yet keeping a very small tree?
You can keep a tree pruned low, and open centered without removing all the two year wood. You will still harvest more apples than you know what to do with.
+DaveWilsonNursery. I have an apricot tree (goldkrist) about 15 feet tall but not a good canopy. what should I do? any pruning ideas? it has not been pruned once.
How is it that you guys have more growth in the first year than I do in 5 years? Live in Sacramento, but Dave Wilson’s fruit trees and they just don’t grow. I went through at least 30fruit trees. Got so irritated that I just gave up on purchasing anymore.
NOT SO... My trees are thriving... dig square holes 2-3x bigger than bucket... plant tree & refill with native soil... top off 1-2 inches with super rich bag compost-soil like Kellogs Patio Plus in a 2-3 foot ring and add at least 4-6 solid inches of chunky bark mulch in a 6 foot ring around the tree and let everything relax for about 2-3 weeks and then add a few containers of red worms from a local bait shop. I have also planted purple creeping lantana at the base of each tree to help keep the moisture in along with the mulch.
must be using fertilisers cause theres no way those trees look that good in that bare dirt surely lol they would need food in the form of organic matter/ mulch, props for the density tho omg haha
hate to sound like a smart ass but wheres all your soil and mulch lol you must use a lot of water and fertiliser, hopefully its atleast organic so it doesnt harm the ecosystem as much!
