Can you notch a birch tree?

May I please have an update on the tree you notched about 7 yrs ago? I would really like to see if it actually DID make a new branch! 😁😁😁🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you have an update on this notch you created into your fruit tree??? I would LOVE to SEE the end results!!!!! 😁😁😁🤷🏻‍♀️

Wonderfully explained. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Something worth remembering when pruning with pruning shears is to always keep the blade towards the portion you’re going to retain. If the anvil is towards the portion, you’re going to retain, you will crush the branch collar or stem. It’s a finer point, but I think you will find it. It’s beneficial as the wound heals more quickly when it is undamaged. Here in the US the average life of a Peachtree is just nine years. That is because stone fruit have a limited capability to form water, sprouts to replace the vegetation, that has been pruned away. Most trees are over pruned and in the case of stone fruit They are unable to replace the vegetation quickly enough. Happy spring!

Ties make a trap for rowdy dog or other animals to snap branches off i use wooden spreaders in the branches ..easier

❤ from Kashmir. Ur country plz?

Thankyou

Thanks for sharing..just planted apples trees last three years here in sarawak Malaysia...kept it grows wild and did nothing to it...hope still can be trained as in your video

I need to do this on couple trees that dont have much on the shaded side thank you

Great info video im gonna try that

My trees are huge i doubt a tiny sheet will help

'..eatable backyard...' I 'spose that means the same thing 😂 Ugh, the accent.... just can't concentrate on what you are saying.

Received your book for Xmas and inlove! Would love to see some month updates on RUclips from you!

Frist of all, and firist of all ,you are very ,very beautiful

Which way do I face the kūmara

Great explanation. Think you may have been trained by Apple orchardists. As an ex nz apple and pear grower your information is accurate

Thank you so much Kath! Your videos have helped so much...I have a wee backyard orchard at my place (rental) on the Kapiti Coast. 10 very overgrown fruit trees! (2 apples, plum, peach, nectarine, fig, 2 pears, an olive, oh, and a tiny hidden plum...who knows when they were last pruned!) I'm heading back out after watching a bunch of your vids...feeling inspired, and heaps more confident! Kia ora e hoa!

So my young tree is filled with branches and leaves all over the main stem. Does this mean strip it all off and cut all the branches except for the ones you want to keep. Sounds obvious but I also watch videos that say don’t prune the wrong way

Do you happen to know what the tree’s response would be if I summer prune the grafted laterals? These are 4-5 year established espaliers (apple and a pear) that have been completely unproductive.

Hi Kath, love your videos - thank you. Can you tell me where I might buy a soil thermometer like the one you have? Thank you.

When do you do this? Any time? Or any specific time?

Thank you for the video. I have a question and I'm hoping you can help. I'm here in Southeast Iowa (5B). I have two peach trees. I have scaffold branches, several laterals on each scaffold branch. Pruned them this summer but neglected to wait for late summer. The top half of my scaffolds are new growth from spring. The laterals on these scaffold branches are also new growth from spring. Since I pruned two weeks ago, I'm getting laterals all up and down where I thought there would be flower buds. Will these new summer laterals have time to form fruiting buds before next spring, or did I mess up by triggering new growth and have lost what would be fruit bud growth on spring growth that would be second year fruiting wood? Thanks for any advice.

Hi Kath i want to transplant a branch from a cherry tree and plant at my place. How do i do that? Can you give me some pointers pse. Regards Andre

Brilliant words, right on point. Please if you do it again can you stand well back and show the whole tree before and then after - even stills at the end side by side. Great job

Great video Kath. I'm in @NZ. What brand of frost cloth are you using? Looks strong. Also, I was told frost cloth has to be removed each day so I'm glad to hear this is not the case! Thanks

Maybe a stupid question, but can I prune after tree has leaves? We had crazy rain and leader is hanging over and I’m afraid it will crack and break.

At last Something to understand without taking too long.

Excellent

Hi Kath I guess you are from New Zealand. We are apple fruit grower from Hawkes bay.

Thanks for getting back

Update on this tree please

Thank you. It looks easy enough.

She’s got the right idea drop ur shears and start tying

A superb instructional video, to the point and easy to follow for an amateur gardener like myself. Thank you for putting this up 😊

Very helpful, thank you!

Great tips,thanks

Excellent training 👏

Intelligent mam 👌🆒️👆

useless

I loved this video! Thanks for making it. I just put in apple and pears and I want lovely little trees.

Omgosh! Thank Kath. Giving me the confidence to rescue my peach tree. It's a hot mess at the moment.

Great tip thanks

What a fab video.. I've bought a cherry tree that grows to 15 ft tall.. Am I able to do this with my tree too? I'm very new to growing trees

Really good information and explanation but the camera work focused on presenter and as a viewer I cannot see the tree and so hard to understand what is being described.

Helpful and clear, thank you. Your book is also wonderfully clear. About to go outside and consider what I should cut off my young fruit trees. This was a great inspiration.

Thanks so much for sharing. My poor cherry tree has just 2 branches. I will let you know how it goes!!

I will always love seeing a dormant, mature and well-pruned open-centre tree. They look so strong.

Great idea. My granny smith is growing so upright!

This was awesome in that it just confirms that I'm training my trees properly from the beginning. We are growing apples in a warmer climate, so the growth just wants to shoot for the sky, but this method helps with that issue and others. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
