Another one of your very informative talks with experienced authorities of the subject. Keep them coming. Appreciate your efforts and intentions. Sending my regards and blessings from the Mediterranean (Israel)🙏
In my experience the most likely time i will lose trees is soon after big flooding rains will result in around 3 weeks the ground would be rock dry with cracking dry ground. I lost mature trees like 2 almond trees & a peach tree plus some others. So for my property the most important aspect is to cover with plenty of wood mulch.
We're growing fruit trees, predominantly mango, in a semitropical climate. Do you have recommendations for watering (and feeding) during the flowering and fruiting period?
Mulching solves so many issues - watering included. The soil medium remains moist for much longer and insect activity makes the medium much more porous - great for receiving air as well as water.
Very informative!! I have one doubt, this winter we didn't had a snow fall, only few rainfall spells. My question is that, does irrigation is recommended in this situation( wjnter)? As of now , Some of Trees are stressed. Is it water stress due to lack of winter precipitation ?
Sorry for the delay. It's so hard to know! The trees could be stressed by extreme cold weather too. And trees don't take in much new moisture during the winter months. I hope that they have recovered by now!
So Southern Minnesota is getting pounded with rain. Like, well over a foot in my yard, so far, just in the last 4 weeks... My Peach trees were just put in in late April early May. Can they be temporarily removed from the swampy ground? The water is over the top of my feet everywhere in the yard. The leaves are turning a pale purple ish color. No more glossy green. Is it too late for them?
Oh goodness. That's terrible! I would not dig them up and move them though. It will damage the roots and the damage will be worse. But while removing the trees isn’t practical, but you can improve the situation by adding a thick layer of mulch around the base of the trees to help absorb some of the excess water and improve drainage. Avoid piling the mulch directly against the tree trunks to prevent rot. If possible, create channels or trenches to divert water away from the trees. While this situation is challenging, taking these steps can help alleviate some of the stress on your peach trees. I am often surprised at how well fruit trees can recover with the right care.
Macropores drain freely by gravity and allow easy movement of water and air. They provide habitat for soil organisms and plant roots can grow into them. With diameters less than 0.08 mm, micropores are small soil pores usually found within structural aggregates. Suction is required to remove water from micropores
01:51 is why this is unclear to us. "...a couple of days...weeks..." Keep it saturated for days? How many days. Oh, weeks? How many weeks? Keep it saturated but let it dry out. Huh??
I wish I could be more specific on that. The problem is that it all depends on your soil. Ultimately, we really have to learn how to feel the soil to understand if it’s saturated or not. Sandy soil will dry out really quickly. Clay soil holds onto moisture. It’s complicated so I do understand your frustration!
@@Orchardpeople Yeah. I know. My trees are doing alright. But a mystery animal dug up one of my Dawn Redwood saplings a couple days ago and only left a hole.😓😓😓

Very helpful, and the information on paw paws maybe explain why I lost one of my transplants
Glad it helps and sorry about the pawpaws!
Great video. Very informative. Ty for sharing!!!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback!

Very true!
Diligent management is in the offing
Diligence is good!

Did Dr. Kevin ever create an irrigation system video?
Good question! I’ll reach out to ask him and put a link here if he has!
@@Orchardpeople Please do!
Thank you sir,I ask I dig a fruit tree roots & found it dry
Hopefully the video helped you!

Thanks for sharing that detailed info! Macropores and micropores are crucial for soil health and plant growth. 🌱
Did anyone get this for a class assignment ? Just curious.
Was this a class assignment for you?
