I made a mistake. I topped my plum tree in the beginning of September. Did I permanently hurt the tree?

lovely. thank yo!

My dad was very good at pruning fruit trees. The tree u pruned doesn't look that good. My dad shaped them pretty. He could prune them in away that u could get medium or large fruit.

four scaffolds pointing east west north south is perfect

Thank you! I have a very vigorously growing citrus bush, so was looking for information on how to care for it since rains are almost over for the year. I've learned so much information from various master gardener presentations and this is very much appreciated!

I wish I had known to cut them to around 30 inches when first planted. I'd love for my plum trees to have that bush shape...instead of being tall trees. I guess we love and learn.

Does this drastic pruning not result in very many water shoots? And shouldn't you prune just after harvest in order to prevent plum pockets?

To @m.goodengumman3941: deciduous trees (trees that drop their leaves in the Fall/Winter ) need to be pruned in the dormant season. In our climate the time is between December and February, before the new growth appears. Trees might need also a Summer pruning after harvest to contain growth.

Dear @MiySadochok, it is indeed sunny and hot where we live. But the more direct sunlight a tree receives, the more carbohydrates (sugars) it will produce through photosynthesis; in addition, direct sunlight (not heat), stimulates flower bud formation, and therefore fruit production. This is why in deciduous trees we want to maximize light penetration. In our climate direct sunlight can however scorch the bark, and for this reasons the trunk and main branches of the tree are often protected with a 50-50 solution of water and white water-based paint.

Dear mgs721, there is no evidence that a tree has a set amount of fruiting energy. However, by pruning a tree correctly and regularly, you can make it more productive and extend its fruiting lifespan by keeping it healthy, strong and well balanced. However, generally seaking a tree's productivity declines naturally with age.

Great information! I learned a lot. Thank you so much. 😊

It is so hot and sunny in Los Angeles, why you would need to open center of tree for more sun?

That greening disease I think got all over California. No one destroyed trees now they all have it for the most part it seems

Which month can you prune the plum tree?

Very informative, thank you. Personal bookmark: pruning 26:26 and suckers 27:27

Really excellent, detailed demonstration. Thank you.

Only one comment ? Here, I'll change that.

nothing without seeds is good for you

Wow, for citrus you use 4-13-21 fertilizer? .. .. .. jk

Wow... !!! My best friend, You Great Good... !!! I wish you every day of your development. Best Relaxing +thumb up3!

New subcriber stay connected pls

Hi🙋🏼🌹❤

@1:33: there are #MexicaLimas which I understood was like a female version of the Persia lime It's like a huge or large green lime but when you peel n eat you notice a sweet buttery tasting blandly sweet citrus

My citrus trees were gine until they wrre sprayed by the city for 2 yrs in a row. Then they got the disease.

Where is the nursery or what nursery can i buy fruit trees at?

Excellent info. Thank you.

This is great, thank you. I had a nice Bearss Lime for about 10 years that had a 2" diameter trunk when I planted it. It was planted 12 ft from a 6 ft high block wall. I hand-watered and irrigated it. My irrigation came every 2 weeks and the tree was at a low spot, so it would sit in about 8" to 2" of water for about 4 days until the water soaked in. The tree started leaning to the west like it was looking for sunlight for the last 4 years of its life. It finally started dying back and eventually died. I have a new Bearss Lime in a 5-gallon bucket that I would like to plant in the same spot. Does anyone know what may have gone wrong with my original tree. I was thinking of planting it on more of a hill mounded up rather than in a flat or depressed area. I think standing in the water may have damaged it or caused it to get some disease. Thanks for any information. I am only 15 minutes into this video and I may find my answer by watching the whole thing.

Thanks for the informative video. Is there any evidence that regularly pruning trees extends the number of fruit bearing years of the tree (as if there is a total amount of fruiting energy the tree can produce over its lifetime and by creating less fruit each year, the tree can extend the number of years that it bears fruit)?

That png at 11:10 is not the one you meant

Thank you

Awesome presentation, watched the whole thing and took notes. Thank you so much!

Does mulch increase your chance of getting termites?

Sound quality very hard to understand MG from the AV.

Is there a time of the year when the Tanglefoot is the most helpful?

Thank you so much for your videos. I have a question regarding using Tanglefoot on tree. How often to you replace the band and is it affected by watering the tree. Thank you.

No macadamia nut trees do not need a cross pollinator we have one at our beach house in Solana beach in north San Diego that produces tons of nuts on its own. Great trees but they drop a lot of leaves that are best left under the tree so that should be factored into planting area.

I’m in jurupa valley right in the wind tunnel. My avocado trees will drink tons of water during Santa Ana winds that usually cause the humidity to drop really low often single digit. I’ve found avocados hate low humidity and need a lot of water during this time my trees will hardly drop excessive amounts of leaves with plenty of water even if it’s a cold Santa Ana wind. Avocado roots stay very close to the soil surface so it’s very easy for them to dry out mulch as well as leaving what leaves drops naturally under the tree is a must. Anyone having trouble with there avocados loosing leaves excessively during winter or any time of year try giving it more water I know the books and everyone says avocados don’t like wet feet but I’ve yet to find over watering to ever be an issue. I’ve never seen any tree drink so much water before staying beautiful lush green and putting on 3-5 feet of growth a year.

Great content 👍🏽

Great content by far the best

All the fig varieties you recommend are TRASH either you know nothing about the sheer variety of figs or you’re trying to save face and recommend only the varieties that are sold at the store which are selected for durability and productivity, NOT FLAVOR! There are high collectible rare varieties that can taste like maple and straw Berry’s, raspberry and wine or tropical cherries as well as so meany more. You should have recommendations varieties like smith, cavalier, col de dame blanc “or any of the cdd”, black or white Madeira, bordissot grise, martinanca rimada, bordissot Blanca negra, bordissot negra rimada, del sen Jaume gran, ponte tresa and so meany more delicious varieties that are so meany times better then you’re recommendations, the last had full of varieties I recommend are varieties that are very valuable as well and rooted cuttings can sell for meany hundreds of dollars a piece making rare fruit growing also kinda a good investment.

Thanks the nerd juices are flowing, I freaking love botany and high quality tasting fruit or rare plant varieties; the history is particularly interesting as well excellent video

Excellent information - thank you !
