Summer Fruit Tree Pruning - How To and Why || Black Gumbo 

Thanks for sharing. Happy Gardening 👨🏿‍🌾 💚

It really helps to see you being fairly brutal with the trees...I need to gather up my courage and get this done on my little apple and pear!

One of clearest pruning vids ever saw. THX

I never make time to prune but I need to this year! Great information!

I pruned the peach trees like crazy! They almost doubled in size! I didn't get anything from any of my fruit trees this year, due to the late freeze... so I didn't feel guilty, lol😅

Summer pruning is great but I would wait until the week long of 100+ F weather to past first.

I need to look for a video from you for figs. My plants have grown a ton and I’m not sure what I should do with them.

Great tips

i have been arguing with my hubby that winter is the only time to prune. now i got to eat crow😂🤦🏾‍♀️

I'm thinking that the best time to prune back my blueberry bushes in Central Louisiana is around August or September.

Thanks for sharing. I recently came across your channel. I'm in zone 9a Humble, TX. Your info really helps. As a fairly new gardener I appreciate how you😢 are sharing your knowledge. My citrus fruit trees came back after the freeze. I'm noticing that the trees are growing tall but the leaves are very small. Will it produce fruit?

Do you have a video on how detour deer...my little apple tree leaves and flowers all gone😢

This type of pruning applies to all zones? Im in SW Texas, zone 8. Our heat this year has been ridiculous 🥵. Should I prune during this heat?

My apple tree is struggling in this heat.

Would you do the same on a fruit tree is that baring fruit?

When do you think is the best time to prune my 7 ft tall blueberry bushes, here in Central Louisiana? Thanks

I'm NOT an expert. My thought for your tall thin tree was that you should have topped it. I would have figured that to be if utmost importance. Please check with someone you trust to be sure you were right.

I have a couple of questions to ask! #1. I have a Van Dwarf Cherry Tree they can grow to 20'. I have had it for about 4- 5 years now it is about 13' - 15' now. Can I still prune back to make it smaller, or is it too late and just try to keep it pruned back to the height where it is at know so it won't get any taller that is after I pick my cherries off of it that are ready to be picked right now? #2. I have either 2 Bosenberry or Mulberry trees growing in my yard. I can't tell the two apart that started growing out of nowhere and didn't really notice them until it was too late (a few yrs.) to try to replant them because of my neighbor's Apple Tree limbs hang really low in my yard over the fence and were hiding the berry trees. When we were going to cut them down we notice what kind of trees they were so left them alone! I really hate those apple trees the neighbor's planted them to close to the fence line and they don't take care of them and a lot of the apples end up in my yard making a mess for me to pick up!!! One of the trees is about 15' and the other is about 20'! I don't want to cut them down, but one of them is growing too close to the fence and in between the apple trees limbs and has to come down because it will eventually will break my fence between my neighbors yard asit grows and the other one is tilting over sideways into the neighbor's behind me yard because of the apple tree limbs are forcing it to grow that way! I want to know if I cut a few of branches off the tree and stick them in water will they grow roots so I can plant at least one of the branches? I always wanted this kind of tree because when I was renting a home in my mid 20's we had one growing on the property and we love eating them! Can you please answer these questions for me!

Is this cutting this year's new growth or whatever?

What about Japanese beetles? I haven't needed to prune because they eat all the foliage off my fruit trees!

Do you prune citrus trees on big containers?

You have made my day! You answered the question that I had! It's now August! I have never pruned my 3 yr old apple trees! One fruited and the other did not! So afraid of hurting them! Thanks Scott!

Hey Scott 👋🏼 the music at the end was beautiful ❤ and good Info on trees Thankyou.I have only tried one tree in the past,a lemon I got from Home Depot and I ended up killing it first year lol haven’t bought another once since! Yours look really good though.

Great video

Oh that was wonderful!

Brutal heat wave imminent

Can you force those small branches to go out not up on your Apple? On my young fig I tired a small rock to the end to add weight so they grew out not up. Worked well, cheap too! Blessings!

Do you have a video on painting the trees
