    Thank you for sharing where to cut and why. I especially like hearing how best to cut the branch to allow healing. Please keep sharing the science of the activity. It is not just to make it look pretty. Thank you, Laura🙏

    Pruning is one of the most satisfying garden jobs, instant gratification from the improved appearance! Both look so much better! 👍❤️

    I pruned a Japanese maple last February. I had a hard time finding a good video or photos to guide me, but followed what I could find. This video had all the same guidelines. My tree looked amazing after the pruning - it’s structure looked so beautiful without leaves and it looked great once it leafed out too.

    Thank you very much. This video was a great help. You were thoughtful to think of us, when you started your videotaping. Because we are all at different stages in terms of gardening knowledge and skills, you would never know what bites of info you give us will fulfill a definite need.

  • @desertrevelation8548
    @desertrevelation8548 4 года назад

    I’m so glad you made this video and addressed multi trunk. We planted three multi trunk last spring. We also have 3 native trees that need major cleaning up. I thought I had to wait until early spring but now I’m encouraged to get out and get it done now!

    Good Video. Rule of Thumb for Fruit Trees us to Prune during Coldest time of year. Also Fruit Tree Branches should grow at approximately 45° angle. Your pruning was good for your trees. The sap will cover and help the healing process. Plus doing in winter insects can't get into pruned area and kill. Peace Be With You ☮️

  • @loganhouse6660
    @loganhouse6660 4 года назад +19

    Hey! I am a certified arborist and I have to say this was a pretty good pruning intro! The only comment I have is when pruning the other leader on the first tree ("subordinating") you want to bring it back to node that can heal over. This idea is similar to the branch collar technique you pointed out. Typically you want to prune back to a lateral branch at least 1/3 the diameter of the piece you are cutting off. On such a young and vigorous tree this won't matter, just a minor detail for anyone interested! For more specific details like this, the ANSI A300 standards are a great guide

      @jzizzles7799 3 года назад

      I have some type of "rose tree" in the front that has been pruned to look like a giant lollipop.
      I see there are several branches behind the densed ball of leaves.
      Can this type of tree be pruned into a topiary with several balls instead of a lollipop shape?

    • @loganhouse6660
      @loganhouse6660 3 года назад

      jzizzles theoretically sure, though roses and other more garden type species are really outside of my expertise particularly without knowing the species

    I watched this video when it originally posted and then watched it again (3 yrs later) as I’m getting ready to prune my own young trees and it’s funny how different Laura’s voice is lol!! I love this channel and I often refer back to previously viewed videos when getting ready to tackle garden projects and maintenance! Thanks for all you do Laura and Aaron!!

    Hello Laura. I truly enjoy watching your videos. They are all are so informative, encouraging, and approachable. I know you aren't interested in a full-fledged T.V. show, but would you consider doing a gardening segment? Such as on a morning news program, or on a home and lifestyle show? If you do, keep us posted. I'm sure we would all love to tune in, in support. 😀

    They both look great in the after. One thing to consider is that if you wait until the buds are swollen, then you can use the prunings inside in an arrangement and they will flower. I don't know if they would do that now.

Looking forward to your results, both trees looked great after your pruning. 😊👓🤓

    Great timing, as always! I have about 7 trees that I need to do this with this year, but the rain won’t stop long enough for me to get out there and do it! 😕We have a very short cool season here in order to do this. Our trees are only dormant for a couple of months. Hopefully we will get some dry weather by this weekend and I can tackle this with confidence now! Thank y’all so much for doing this video! 🙌💚♥️

    I know you’ve made videos in the past about tool cleaning and upkeep. I wanted to offer a recommendation on a lubricant/rust preventer and overall protectant. I was recommended to buy this when I replaced my pruning blade and it is AMAZING. I actually saw it REMOVE rust. It’s called Fluid Film and the applications are wide and varied! Think anywhere you’d maybe hear people tell you to use WD-40, use this instead. It works!

    I just started tackling my overgrown plum thicket last week. I worked on it a little last winter - keeping to the 25% rule - I will do a little this winter, and a little more next winter. Hopefully shape it up to be appealing again. It was your previous fruit pruning videos you had done at your parents which inspire me to start mine. Thanks for the videos! ***I would also like to know how you keep your tools so sharp as well. I remember you doing a video about keeping your tools clean, but can't remember if you sharpened them as well.

    @Garden Answer You can cut to the collar so that there is no little stump sticking out. If you do not believe me , watch this year , those little stubs will have to Die back first and then start to heal , so.. it is actually harder for the tree to heal, Because of the first trying to die back and then the tree can start to look ugly with all those stumps sticking off of it. If you have a clean cut right at the collar, it just heals over like you never cut it. With my cedar tree I intentionally leave a 4 in stump when taking out branches because these trees will grow around and swallow up the cut branch and it makes for a beautiful & interesting trunk. The best way to visually find this truth is through the art of Bonsai .Japanese are brilliant in this area.. I started out thinking the way you just taught because this is what everyone was saying and teaching but if you truly watch your trees and how they react and heal to these cuts, you will soon see they are wrong. This kind of pruning is just a smaller version of what Aaron did with the willow :P lol God Bless and Happy New Year. Love all your videos
