Well-ordered presentation of the key points! Definitely the clearest video I've see on this so far. Felt thorough without being too long!

@mikemcgraw6488 6 лет назад

One of the best basic guides to fruit tree pruning on the web. Just enough to give you confidence plus that little bit extra to ensure a good job.

@coloraturaElise 4 года назад

That was extremely PROfessional! Not too detailed, but a few bullet points across a broad range of topics...excellent!

@bruce-le-smith 5 лет назад

great video thanks, I've been reading and watching videos on this for a couple years learning to maintain 5 fruit trees that came with our house and were poorly topped before we got here. this video is a perfect summary of the best practices to get started.

This video is exactly what I needed. We recently moved into a home in La Verne, California, that has a small orchard of fruit trees in yhe back yard. Oh! and 3 others in the front yard. and for the past week I've been dreading the pruning I would have to do. I love gardening, but know very little. Watching this video show me exactly what I need to look for and do. Thank you Thank you... I have 18 trees that need pruning. Its a whole lot of work for me, but I'm looking forward for the blessings it will give me. On another note, I also have to plan on what to do with the dragon fruit plants. Can you give me any suggestions on how to care for them? Thank you.. :)

@real_wakawaka 6 лет назад

the consensus now is to not prune during winter if possible. Most if not all should be done after fruit harvest and or autumn (dependant on your area) like for me its in august. This would encourage less vigour (leafing wood) and more fruiting. It also reduces disease because it heals faster. When you cut sprouts don't cut them all off down to the main scaffolding branch, cut them 3 buds from the bottom... this would encourage fruiting buds for next year and same thing would be for other wood too. this is how it should be done and is encouraged in back yard growing as well as large scale orchard farming and would end up with huge crops on each branch but would require a lot of thinning..... but that wouldn't be a problem :) good luck!

@hollybromley47 8 лет назад

The FIRST thing you should always do is disinfect your pruning shears!! Infecting newly cut branches with fungal diseases such as Cytospora or bacterial infections such as Fire Blight in Rosacea species would be a shame. Always, ALWAYS disinfect prior to pruning and between trees. I love that you brought it up 4 minutes in, but I'd make a point of it right up front. Also, while the isopropyl alcohol works well, Lysol Brand disinfectant spray is a terrific way to disinfect. You can't spill it and it takes lots less time to clean the tools, so it's easy to keep the tools disinfected. Pruning young fruit trees is one of my favorite things to do -- besides ornamental pruning like espalier and Japanese maples.

@gardenanswer 8 лет назад

+Holly Bromley Totally right! :) Clean pruners are a must! Thanks for the lysol disinfectant tip! I also love to prune, it's such a satisfying, tangible project!

@hollybromley47 8 лет назад

You are most welcome. Lysol is an essential for us, easy and effective, and it can't spill. I use only Lysol brand, though, as it has the highest concentration of isopropyl alcohol in it. I get fussy about disinfecting because I've seen trees that have been badly infected by people who don't know better and prune (sometimes "prune" loosely used) with dirty tools. I was hired to help a client with what had been a gorgeous European Mountain Ash that had been topped. Nearly every cut was infected with Cytospora canker and we could not save the tree. I've seen the same thing with fire blight in apples and pears (and other rosacea species.) Often the damage just can't be undone. Your video is good and that young orchard is getting a very good start. Well done!

I like all you videos. is the first time i saw your mom's dog. Poor dog. You always said is too hot in summer more than 100, imagine in summer with a doble coat outside. I rescued a dog last year, but my dog leaves inside. In summer we turn on the a.c. Because if I feel hot or cold my baby Sparky feels it too. He is really smart, yes he destroyed few things, but he learned, and stop breaking everything . Is my opinion.

@jackiebinkley4391 8 лет назад

Is the first tree you pruned a peach or necterine? I always get these splits on peach trees and I live in a cold climate also

@gardenanswer 8 лет назад

+Jackie Binkley That was a cherry. None of the peaches are splitting at this point, thank goodness! This tree has had that split for awhile now and still fruits great. We just keep a close eye on it and if it gets worse we'll probably start over with a new tree. I imagine on peaches it would be more of a problem because of the amount of weight a peach tree has to bear. Thanks for watching our video! ~Laura

@FuriedHearts 6 лет назад

Wouldn’t composting diseased branches be fine? Composting should kill anything harmful as it heats up from the composting process. That’s why you can compost moldy fruit. I guess it’s better safe than sorry, and Browns in compost generally aren’t hard to find so I guess it wouldn’t be worth it anyway lol
