Planting fruit trees can be a huge waste of time and money if done incorrectly. Consulting forester Rob Haubry talks about the things you need to know and consider before buying and planting fruit trees - such as tree spacing, bare root seedlings vs. container trees, when to prune, and different species of trees that can help with overall pollination and ultimately the production of the trees.

@Whitetail_Properties 2 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@rexicenhower1678 2 года назад

Excelent. after watching several videos i find you generaly get ore or two really good pieces of advice if any per video. the peril i got here was the consideration on planting for shooting lanes.

@Whitetail_Properties 2 года назад

We agree! It's always good to get a few different opinions, especially when it comes to land management. Glad you we had something in here for you!

I was wondering about play glyphosate hitting on the apple trees thanks for that piece of information

I like potted trees over bare whips. Planning on planting 4 more cherries and 5 apples for my 2 bee hives. Trying to have blooms to build bees up for berry season. Making sure I have proper cross pollinators. I was gonna plant clover or buckwheat under the trees.

@Whitetail_Properties Год назад

Nice!! The clover will help!

@stevegermain1222 3 года назад

Came back to get some more information thank you much

@Whitetail_Properties 3 года назад

You bet!

@Homegardener55 2 года назад

I actually noticed with where I got my bare roots at least, my trees were almost an inch in caliper size, only down fall is they literally cut the tree in half because it was too tall to fit it in the box, but it was a nectarine plum interspecific hybrid that should be pruned to an open center anyway. I would be upset if it was an apple though or something needing a central leader.

@patrickhenry7416 2 года назад

Yup lost me at glyphosate. Nope. Not worth any of it spraying that crap….

@juliak3580 2 года назад

Not glyphosate. Nooooo!

@Whitetail_Properties 2 года назад

We don't love herbicide either, but we hate invasive species more than herbicide and some plants require herbicide for removal. If herbicide wasn't used our biodiversity would be much less and flora and fauna would suffer much worse than a landscape that we can manage with herbicide.

Hi. I have an 8' peach tree in a pot that i forgot to plant in autumn. What should i do now? Im in nj, night temps as low as 10f. Should i bring in garage untill spring and then plant it?, because im afraid the roots will freeze up being above ground in a plastic pot. Thanks

@Whitetail_Properties 2 года назад

We would say at the very least get it into the garage, you could wrap a thick blanket around the pot to help insulate the roots. Also continue to water, but sparingly.

@elioraimmanuel 3 года назад

Is the 25’ apart meant for semi-dwarf trees, as well?

@Whitetail_Properties 3 года назад

Dwarf apple and cherry 6-8. Semi dwarf 15 or so. Regular 25.

How long will it take for the tree to bare fruit. Obviously it depends on climate of area. But this sounds like you are better off just doing a real nice food plot

@Whitetail_Properties 9 месяцев назад

It depends on the age of the tree planted. But typically for chestnuts 3-5 years from seedlings. The tree's planted in this video will produce this year or next. Food plots are great, and we use them frequently. But tree food plots are a one time investment and once they start bearing fruit/nuts, they will produce every year. Whereas food plots have annual input cost for seed, fertilizer, tillage work etc.

@tcliveaction 9 месяцев назад

Very good. Thanks responding. Good luck to you guys!!

@jarrodlambert3914 Год назад

Awsome

@kurtcaramanidis5705 2 года назад

Are you fertilizing in year 2? If so, what are you using? Thank you.

@Whitetail_Properties 2 года назад

Here is a great article from our friends at chestnut hill nursery on their recommendations on fertilizing! chestnuthilloutdoors.com/learning-center/fertilization/

@@Whitetail_Properties Thank you. I bought some of theirs from Walmart.

I’ve been eating pumpkins and apples that are over the septic tank 💩 leach field. Is that safe?? 😅😅hmm

@Whitetail_Properties 11 месяцев назад

Lol!!

@atloutdoor2550 2 года назад

Where do you get your tree from ?

@Whitetail_Properties 2 года назад

We typically go through Chestnut Hill Nursery. They have tons of different species of mast and fruit bearing trees and ship nation wide.

Lost me at cancer juice.

@pacodefrancis7235 2 года назад

Applying Roundup around the base also really helps trees get established (especially bare root trees) as weeds and grass can really choke out young trees. Round up, some mulch, then a couple waterings and your trees will be incredibly vigorous and healthy.

@rockhammer3297 2 года назад

Really. I just got done watching another channel and they said under no circumstances use round up anywhere near your new trees. I am trying to figure out what is with my apple trees but I get so much conflicting information. Planted my trees 3 years ago and they are exactly the same size as the day I planted them.

@drillsergeant623 Год назад

Bareroot doesn’t mean it’s a seedling.

@dreamcatcherdb 3 года назад

Are you planting fruit for human consumption or deer consumption? I found your video while researching how to start a homestead orchard. I was hoping to find out how to keep the deer out. I’m really unsure what size and spacing to plant trees too, figuring I’d need to fence the entire orchard to keep the deer out. But wider spacing would mean more fencing. I like the cages you built. I’ve seen people put drain tile around trunks. Would that work too? We have over 80 wooded acres in fenton Michigan. I’m looking to plant 20 fruit trees plus several small fruits. I could really use some good advice!

@Whitetail_Properties 3 года назад

Fencing the whole orchard is probably unnecessary. The cages tend to work pretty well to deter most wildlife including deer, rabbits, squirrels etc. Until the trees are more mature and less susceptible to damage. Check out our protecting fruit trees video in the tree planting playlist for some more good advice!

@Ryan_YoungUSA 10 месяцев назад

Doe anyone have issues with black bears destroying fruit trees

@Whitetail_Properties 10 месяцев назад

They can be a problem for sure. Check out or tree planting playlist for some videos on protecting them.

@josephevans5703 Год назад

You lost me the moment you said you sprayed the whole place with glyphosate

@thomasjcorson7502 Год назад

Could have just run sheep through instead of spraying that crap!

@Whitetail_Properties Год назад

What if you don't have sheep? Or the time for sheep or another animal to graze it? They also most likely wouldn't graze it to bare dirt. We understand some don't like herbicide, but in some instances it is the best option - and in other instances like controlling invasive species, the only option.

@endgamesurvivorstrategies8690 3 года назад

Planting to shoot deer? Really?

@Whitetail_Properties 3 года назад

Yes and to benefit other wildlife.

@kalikasurf 3 года назад

Odd, that someone that obviously seems to think about strategies for survival…..(cuz it’s in your username) can’t grasp the concept of making deer available on your property…….. you prefer a tofu farm?
