    Pruning fruit trees is one of my favorite chores on the farm. There is something about it that really brings me into a deeper connection with nature. It can seem a little scary at first, but once you get the hang of it there are few farm jobs that are as enjoyable. It is very important to stay on top of pruning, especially in the first years of a newly planted tree. The small amount of time it takes will pay off in a huge way in the future production and management of your trees. Pruning helps to stimulate growth, keep your tree healthy, maintain a small and manageable size and will greatly augment fruit production. This video will offer some basic concepts of tree pruning to get you started and then you can do some more research on specific techniques for the type of tree you are working with. Enjoy!!!

    Thanks for the video. Very much appreciated. I'm a stay at home single dad with 2yo twins so I have a kind of low maintenance permaculture 5 acres in Northern New South Wales, Australia. These videos help me improve my garden and get more food production going. I'd love to take the kids to Costa Rica for a visit when they're a bit older.

    Is it possible to air-layer as a way of pruning and cleaning up a more mature tree that has been neglected for a long time? So basically do two things at once?

      Hey Brandon! Thanks for all the info. I wish I could have come by the property this last Feb. Could you recommend the best things to focus on growing/maintaining during the rainy season in Central America? We have caterpillars galore, many days with overcast and lots of rain, as you know. What's the best game plan from rainy to dry season? I'm from California and spoiled...used to growing anything, anytime...

      I would love a video about how much of your food you grow and how much you buy. Especially about higher calorie food (starches and fats), how much of it you are able to grow for your family. Also, a farm tour.

    I just bought a place in the Philippines that I am planning on turning into a farm. I enjoy your videos as we both have to deal with tropical climates. Thanks. Right now I am in the planning stage for the farm. it is making me crazy trying to figure it all out.

    @deanpd3402 10 лет назад

    I was going to go ahead and use the STUN technique or Strategic Total Utter Neglect or the Fukuoka method of not pruning, for the cool climate trees I have planted but then I read in Hemenway's book that he talks about pruning fruit trees and you are doing it too. So, I'm beginning to wonder if I should prune too. I do plenty of chopndrop and natural fertilising and I love doing that, love seeing the impact it has on the soil but, to prune or not to prune, that is the question I need to ponder.

  • @SRMccoygarden

    I saw that you left lower branches that were growing down in 45 degree angle. I thought you wanted only 45 degree upward growing. Is that rule meant for the main support branches?
    BTW, I really enjoyed your video. Your gardens are beautiful. I also appreciate you willingness to share what you've learned over the years.
    Have a blessed day. 😆

    thanks for the video.
    I am so glad you spoke about the moon phase and the best time to prune as I am looking at purchasing some property here in Northwest Florida and I want to try to start growing some native fruit trees so I believe that that information you provided is invaluable.
    I will do some more research on that particular element thanks for sharing

    • @naturallivingdesigns2383
      @naturallivingdesigns2383  10 лет назад

      The most important aspect of any healthy plant is the soil it grows in. This soil should be nutritious, with billions of beneficial microbes in a single handful, and also plenty of organic matter. Healthy soil Healthy plants! But as far as getting rid of aphids... a mixture of soap and water sprayed on them will definitely help with your problem. Thanks for your comment and watching our video!(-:
