- Protecting young fruit trees against animals or trimming accidents is essential but which models should we use in each case? Some protections can even cause several problems to our young trees. In this video, I show a couple of models I use going through their Pros and Cons and the most common issues that they might cause.

We use chicken wire in the planting hole against voles (field mice) or rats. And also a fencing cordoned around the property against wild deers and rabbits. Tried using those guards, too problematic. Btw, do you have a plant nursery and do you sell bareroot plants and cuttings? Have been trying a way to get in touch with you.
The best guard for rabbits & mice is 1/4"-3/8" hardware cloth cut to the size you like & held together with wire ties. I think you will find this works excellent & lasts many years.
Very thorough report of the various pros and cons of different types of tree guards. All videos should be like this. Thank you!
Thank you again for your work. I wish you best of health.
Loved it! Keep them coming! I have learned so much watching all your vudeos! Thankyou so much!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for this information
Wow. I always learn so much. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment and support.
We often have roe deer and hares in the garden which means that small trees left unprotected are soon eaten. I place a cheap wire / mesh type compost bin around each tree. This protects both the stem and the canopy. Anchoring the bin with a couple of pins in the ground will prevent strong winds from moving it.
Thanks for the comment and suggestions, Henrik. I fortunately don't have deer problems over here, but the rabbits are a real nuisance. They even chew the bark of older trees and I sometimes have to use the bridge graft to save them. I might do a video about that technique soon.
I've learned a lot from you. Cognitive and very interesting. Thank you 👍🤝🤝🤝👌
Glad to hear that. Thanks for the comment.
Very good👍👍👍👍
Thank you Sir, clear explanation. Appreciate your videoes
You are welcome, Ismail. Thanks for the comment.
Happy fruitty year!
Thank you! Happy new year to you too.
I purchased ivorganics tree whitewash protective paint last year. It contains 7 herbal oils that help repel rodents and bugs from damaging the tree. Have you used this product? It is also useful to protect wounds from pruning and new grafts at the joint union. Your videos are an inspiration and very informative 👍Happy grafting!
New member, very interesting channel, keep up the good work. I am
interested of getting new varieties of fruit trees cuttings, wonder if you can
help ? of course I'll advance you to cover any expenses.
Your channel is great!! congratulations. Please comment about the irrigation systems for apple trees.
Thanks for the comment and the suggestion. That's an interesting topic. I will add it to my list.
Where did you get that tubing and what is it called? You topped them all!!!!❤
muy interesante como todos tus videos.Un abrazo
Hola, Tino. Un abrazo y un buen año de 2021.
Gracias igualmente
Olá J ames , um bom ano 2021 para si e suas gentes...
Obrigado, Albano. Um bom ano de 2021 para si e para os seus.
can you recommendations material for rainy and moist, in tropical climates? thank you sir
O brigado por esse vídeo maravilhoso obrigado por tudo. obrigado por manter a legenda em português .
As legendas em português não podiam faltar nos videos que publico, apesar de serem utilizadas por uma muito pequena percentagem de utilizadores. Obrigado pelo comentário.
Thank you for your videos.
I protect my trees from sheep and rabbits by putting quite rigid galvanized mesh (2.80 euro piece) used for making beton floors 2x1m around , for half or full stems I use 2 old and cheap (0.60 a piece) vineyard metal poles to attach the mesh, for fruit low stem or bushes I use 4 poles and 2x mesh mats, against mice which on my farm only like apple bark I use the plastic mesh sleeves but roll them around and fix them with hollow plastic twine, easier to put on and gives more resistance . I put the strong mesh about 10 to 15 cm above ground so sheep can clear the edge below, in the inside I put hay or straw mulch.
Thanks for the comment and all the tips, Mimi. I really only have problems with rabbits were I live and they like apples and pears the most but they also chew some of the other fruit trees. Sometimes sheep made their way to my orchard, but with a strong fence that doesn't happen anymore. Now I just have to figure out a way to convince the birds to stop pecking all my fruits (the fake hawks I improvise do work, but they have a limited range).
@@JSacadura yes, I too have to protect against hornets, wasps and birds, the only real help are nets but for freestanding trees in the pastuere I use fine mesh sacks to protect nice pears or in vinyard for table grapes, you find them on alibaba or aliexpress.
@@JSacadura are your fake hawks hovering/floating in the sky or merely fastened to a tree or a post?
I’ve seen some on the flexible metal pole and the appear to hover over the property and move with the wind.
Chickens! You should do a video of the pros and cons of having chickens roaming the orchard.
Hi, Angel. Thanks for the comment and the suggestion. The chickens do help in capturing all the insects and snails they see and fertilize the orchard. But they do manage to sneak into my wife's vegetable garden, from time to time...
You have an orchard and a grove?
С Новым годом 2021 🎆🎆🎆🎆👍🏻
Thanks. A good 2021 to you too.
Boa noite, meu amigo!
Parabéns por mais esse belo trabalho com essa ótima apresentação de sempre!
Seu amigo do Brasil,

Olá, Luís. Obrigado pelo comentário. Um bom ano de 2021 para você.
@@JSacadura, boa tarde, meu amigo! Muito obrigado pela cordial atenção! Estou aprendendo coisas bem legais com você! Seus vídeos são sempre muito profissionais e instrutivos!
Um feliz Ano Novo pra você e sua família também!🙏🏻🙏🏻🇧🇷
Muito bom canal!! Bom ano.
Obrigado. Um bom ano de 2021 também para si.
Thanks for making these videos. I’m Learning a lot from them.
We live in portugal to and are planting fruitrees and other plants.
Do you have a viveiro that sells the plants?
What supplier in portugal would you suggest to find casca coco, root hormones, potting mix,...?
I’m looking forward to the next video, thanks for sharing
I don't sell plants. Try some northern nurseries like Viveiros Castromil or Serviruri.
You can find all that online. Check Urbicult. They are not cheap but everything is good quality.
Are mantises a threat to fruit trees in their early stages? That formation removed from a tree at the ~2:30 mark looked like a mantis ootheca (egg bundle). I guess they might eat pollenators as much as pest insects.
Hello how are you I enjoy your channel very much I had a question
I have a small area by my house that I would like to plant about four or five fruit trees what season is the best to plant a young tree I have several other questions also if you have a few moments
Hi. In my zone (9a) we usually buy bare root trees (with no soil) so we plant them as soon as we get them, usually in early spring. This way the trees don't have to adapt to a pot and don't have to endure their first winter as soon as they are planted. If the trees are potted and a bit older (2-3 year) they are usually potted in the autumn. Nevertheless, robust, potted plants can be planted year round, provided they have adequate follow up and care.
Thanks J
Do you have peach trees? Have you done any videos on them. Diseases and pests etc?
Yes I have, Michele. I have a few videos on peach trees planned (pruning) and have done some on grafting them (check the channel). I will add the topic of diseases and pest to my list (maybe not peach specific but they will be included).
Always appreciate your videos. Question: Do you use a Bordeaux mix to paint your trunks, or as a winter spray? If so, how when and where?
Hi. Thanks for the comment. I do use a Bordeaux mix spray at least once in the winter (usually mid-winter) to kill most fungus spores. The concentration is the recommended in the package and I try to cover the main trunk and most tree branches. I live in a very humid area and if I don't spray in the winter the fungus problems will be very intense the following year. Sometimes I spray a second time, a few weeks before the winter ends. I will probably have to do it this year as the winter has been extremely rainy until now.
@@JSacadura Perfect information. Thank you.
Hello Jaime, sorry this is off topic. I found out that you grew the fig cotio verdeal based on your old posts on the fig forum. Do you know if it's a common variety or needs the wasp? A lot of people don't seem to know. Thanks.
Hi. Côtio-Verdeal is a Common variety, it doesn't need the wasp (I am sure as I don't have the wasp were I live). Côtio was a popular average size Common white fig variety in Algarve, as it dries in the branch until its picked (the most popular fig for drying in that region at the time). Most farmers would force pollination for better yields and bigger and better flavored figs. Côteo-Verdeal is a bigger fig that, according to sources, doesn't accept pollination very well. Verdeal is a name that is sometimes used, in Algarve, as synonym to Côteo-Verdeal. Nevertheless, there is a Verdeal fig, also in Algarve, that is a Smyrna type (quite rare to find now) that needs caprification and, in the north of the country, there is also a fig called Verdeal that is a Common fig. So lots of confusion may occur with these varieties, but you can be sure Côtio-Verdeal doesn't need the wasp.
Hello, I have a question not related to the video:
I have a 30+ year tall cherry tree and I wish to really heavy prune it. When should I do I ? Also, I wish to use the bark grafting technique that you showed in several videos. Could it also be done for example now, in January or should both the pruning and the grafting be done in February or March? Could I graft peach on this old cherry tree?
Thank you for the quality videos !
Hi. If I were you I would avoid pruning your cherry tree now and would wait until late winter. Otherwise the tree might develop problems, like infections in the cuts, particularly if you live in a humid area. Just before the tree starts to break dormancy you can cut it (always leaving at least one nurse branch to help maintaining the tree alive) and graft it. Beware that trees that old might not take grafts very well in the main trunk. If the bark grafts fail, you can always let the nurse branch grow and graft it at a later date (using other techniques). Also, some peach varieties might be incompatible with cherries, but you can always try. Good luck with your grafts.
@@JSacadura thank you very much for the answer ! Looking forward to your new videos :D
I ordered 15 fruit trees for my new orchard and expected them to all arrive together some time at the end of March. Long story short three of my apple tree showed up at the end of November. They are in the ground and as far as I can tell are doing ok. Any suggestions on what they need for their first winter with me?
It really depends on the age of the trees and the lowest temperatures that you have in the winter in your area. Most apple trees will have no problem resisting the winter, particularly if they are robust and 2-3 years old. If you are concerned, you can protect them by mulching to ensure the roots are insulated against the cold (don't accumulate the mulch against the trunk or it may rot if the weather is too humid).
@@JSacadura the trees are between four and six feet tall with a diameter of no less then one inch around, as far as weathergoesI'min us zone 6A. And thank you for the reply.
2:36 seems like religiosa ootheca, I think they useful because they kill other insects
Muito bom, a título de curiosidade, ao minuto 2:35, aquele "casulo" que retirou do tronco é uma ooteca(ninho com ovos) de louva deus, que são benéficos pois são predadores, 😉
Olá, Guilherme. Confesso que quando filmei este vídeo, precisava de ilustrar que os insectos podiam utilizar estas guardas como proteção invernal e usei a primeira situação que me apareceu. Como estava apertado pelo tempo não me preocupei em aprofundar um pouco mais e tentar descobrir de que insecto se tratava e logo calhou ser um insecto benéfico (não é o que acontece na maioria das situações). Obrigado pela informação.
@@JSacadura percebo, eu sofro muito com as brocas, este ano vou instalar armadilhas com feromonas para ver se controlo a coisa, boas colheitas 😉
Please give us the translation into Arabic, I am Arabic. Your videos are valuable and useful, thank you👍
Hi. Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I don't speak Arabic, so I have no way of providing a correct Arabic translation. Sorry. But you can always turn English subtitles On and ask RUclips to Auto-translate to Arabic - using the option Auto-translate, available in the Settings menu (that might help a bit...)
I'm single 😥😥😥😥😥
