      Is this a good procedure for most/all fruit citrus trees for home garden productions with the same goals? As in 8 foot height etc. working on some fun ones in sw fl - Barbados, Jamaican cherries. Mulberry. Cherry of the rio grande. Have a few lemons and limes and one avocado as well.

    Watch a couple of your videos, I've learned a lot. I planted over 50 different fruit trees. Thought all I had to do was plant, give it good soil and put mulch down every year. Never thought I needed to prune. My trees look awful, not growing. In my first year, I lost half to the deep freeze 2 winter's ago, and I lost another half to drought. This winter, the deer ate another half. Down to 5 trees out 58. I got 7 that look alive that deer chewed in half. I'm going prune damage off. Maybe they make into bushe.
    Can I do a heavy pruning in April.
    I wasn't going to start over, but I decided to. I bought 10 more fruit trees this past weekend. Thought I'd watch some video and found your channel. Great videos.

    I loved this! Just subscribed. So informative. I have a small orchard I planted around four years ago, so they are quite small. The first year every leaf was eaten by gypsy moths. I thought for sure they were goners. They slowly recovered but they don’t blossom. I finally got the guts to trim them back, and it really helped them to bush out. I have to give them another trim and I am scared to death. 😬 watching this really helped. I’m praying for fruit next year. Thanks for this video. 😊

    @jo-annjewett198 Год назад +2

    Thanks for all the good pruning info. We planted about 20 fruit trees, some in pots. I am following the same method and did the hard prune at knee high except a couple fruit trees that came with too big of a caliper. Those I left taller with a “nurse”branch and am waiting for three buds to make a good scaffold and will then shorten the trees accordingly.

    Thank you very much for your videos, I also planted several fruit trees when you started, and every time I prune I do it with greater confidence because from you I have learned the purposes of pruning and how to prune: a good structure that allows more aeration, sufficient capture of sun (so that branches of some tree do not cover another), ease in fruit collection, and obtain higher productions.

  • @tcsadt
    @tcsadt Год назад

    At 10:00 try to bring those apple scaffolds lower to force a wider tree with lower height. This will increase fruiting wood with stronger branching that are easier to harvest. Lots of vigorous growth you have created.

    • @urbanfarmstead
      @urbanfarmstead  Год назад

      Yeah, that’s the plan with the spacers, and I think it should do the trick, but are you suggesting I should just prune them further back rather than using the spacers, or do both?

    Thank you so much! I think it’s time to go check out my apple trees for pruning!

    Do you have a video on how and when to fertilize and what fertilizer to use. Thanks

    Thank you for such informative content! Laura from Garden Answer mentioned you in her new video and I had to stop by and check out your fig propagation video. I’ve watched several of your videos since and subscribed. I look forward to learning from you!

    Hi Kyle, Thanks for the awesome videos! I just planted 19 bareroot fruit trees on my new property last January/Feb . Saw your advice about not pruning if rain is imminent so I waited. That rain turned into 2 ft. of snow on the ground (@ 3600 ft. elev.) and now more rain forecast in a couple of days, forecast to stay with us for up to 2 weeks! That will be followed by sunny, 70 degree weather which I'm sure will get the trees going! My question to you is should I dig my way in and do my first pruning now before the rain starts or wait until its over? I have apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, apricots & pluots. I was hoping to get some copper dormant spray on them as well before they take off. Absolutely THE best videos on planting, pruning, irrigating and gardening!!

      You could dig your way in if you are expecting them to break dormancy soon, otherwise you can wait

    I was hoping you would do another video with an update! We planted our trees about the same time you did but didn't know about the pruning! We are changing our pruning now to try and maximize what we have

      Awesome! I’ll continue to update this orchard series often

    Hi Kyle, thank you for the series. Can you also give an insight or do a series on growing 3 to 4 fruit trees in 1 hole? I live in Australia and many of the houses in metropolitan areas do not have large backyards. Thank you!

      Thank you! I might eventually, it’s a great option for limited space
