Grow 18 POUNDS of Apples in Just 1 Square Foot in Containers!

- Опубликовано: 11 май 2017
- This is not a joke or a prank. Growing up to 18 pounds of apples in containers is amazing enough, but even more amazing is they only take up 1 square foot.

May we have an apple tree update? We're curious how well they are doing! :D
Unfortunately him and his wife split, she took the baby and they sold the property, he gets her on the weekends but the apple trees are gone
@@michaelmackinnon9008- Tragic...
@@michaelmackinnon9008 Oh No!
@@michaelmackinnon9008 wait are you serious??🥺
No they didn't split.
The baby looked like she was inadvertently imitating dad with her hand motions. Lol!
We call that "the baby bird".
@@MIgardener Update on these? Are they still around?
Luke how have these trees progressed for you? Still thriving?
Have you done a follow-up video for the columnar trees? I’d love to know if they performed as expected and fruit quality and taste.
check Gardener Scott . He did this also
Thanks for another great learning experience, Luke. I particularly liked this video because you chose not to edit out the fact that you slightly miscalculated the depth of the hole you dug to plant the apple tree into. Not only did this serve to express the importance of planting depth, but it also served to show that even an old pro doesn't necessarily get it right the first time without having to go back and readjust a little bit. This takes the pressure off of guys like me who are OCD about doing things right the first time. I have been reluctant to plant fruit trees, as badly as I want them, because I felt like I had to be so exact about planting depth. You've shown me that getting it right is not that hard to do. Thanks again, and keep up the good work. You are doing a great service to us wannabe gardeners and orchardists.
I bought a 3 in 1 Cherry tree and I am planning on planting it in a half whiskey barrel, just like yours. I’ve looked everywhere for info on what type of medium to use in a container. Most of the info that I found was for in-ground planting. I’m so glad that I found this video! I’ve been watching your channel for a few months and I’ve found a wealth of information about a wide range of gardening topics. Thank you so much for your willingness to share your expertise and experience with this novice! I’m a farmers granddaughter and I have a passion for growing things, just not a lot of experience. You’re a big help! Thanks 😊
I just recently found your channel and I absolutely LOVE it! As someone who lives in a small space, for the longest time, I thought growing anything but a few herbs was hopeless. You have really inspired me with many different things that I can do with the space that I have. Thanks for all the work you put into your channel! -Shannon
How have the trees been producing for you since this video? Love the content!
I saw these trees for the first time yesterday at our local plant store. I had never seen them before. Thanks for the education.
Love this, wanted apples but full size trees are just way to much. This is perfect and I appreciate the soil info.
So glad you liked it!
I am growing blackberries and strawberries in containers on my front porch entrance. Im hoping everyone feels welcome by being able to walk up and pick fruit. I love this idea!
I literally watched a current video of you and your daughter and she is so grown up! This is a blast from The past. My apple trees are doing much better this year in containers and I’m using a better fertilizer
This is the best video I have EVER come across. I can't thank you enough for it. Keep up the great work. ❤️
I just got my first 2 in the ground in Oklahoma. I can't wait to eat yard apples
OMG! MIgardener 2.0:The Baby Geneva gardens Show! SO adorable! You just inspired my hubby's b-day present buying a pair to pot up to frame the garage door! Thank you for another awesome video!
This is AWESOME news!!! I've been wanting to grow apples in containers for years! Thank you for this info!!! I really enjoy your videos.
I was delighted with the 87 year old tomato. The apple/barrel seg is inspiring me. I am anxious to move down below and really grow good food. Wickenberg, AZAt 7K feet it is hard to grow anything with a very very short growing season. I had a greenhouse but the winds destroyed it. Love watching your progress. My 1/2 barrel has a gigantic rhubarb 6 years old!
AS much as I liked your info for the apple trees. I enjoyed your daughter even more. She is adorable! Thank you
Grandma C.
That is usually how things go ;)
I've been looking around for these trees, and once I see them in person I won't be able to resist!!!
WOW awesome trees! I will definitely be checking in to them. Thank you for the information. As always it was very helpful! Keep up the good work!
Great video. I am in the same growing zone as you, only in Colorado. I purchased the same barrels yesterday at Costco so I think I will order the apple trees for them. Please wish Sindy a very Happy Mothers Day!
Your baby girl is darn cute how she was imitating you on camera. How precious she is! You are such a good Dad! I think they have citrus varieties in columnar form too which would probably suit my central Florida climate.
Really enjoyed this, i dream of this sort of garden also my daughter is just as small and would love to raise her in that sort of environment, please keep doing what you do.
I want to try out planting one of these. This video just proves there is always more to learn. Thanks!!
Hi Luke
Thank you for including container gardening to your videos.
Great video! Many people have less than ideal soil for fruit trees. Columnar apple trees are not the only trees that do well in pots. My dwarf dorsett golden apple tree topped out at 5 feet a couple of years ago because it is on miniature dwarf rootstock. Dwarf Cherry trees get taller, mine are around 8 feet high. I have a bonanza genetic dwarf peach tree that is said to only reach 5-6 feet. I grow chives and green/walking onions around the sides of the pot.
What soil mix so you have?
@@DaBuDaSak Sorry, I can't remember what soil mix I used 5 years ago. I would recommend a mix of potting soil and compost for anything in pots.
I bought 2 of these from Gurney's this year. Came in this afternoon and potting up tomorrow. Looking forward to my first apple.
Thank goodness there's a replay option. Your little one is so stinkin' cute...I didn't hear a word you said. She stole the show!
Luke - just found your channel and thank you for the content. I have seen these type of trees in a nearby front yard and always wondered why they were loaded with fruit while my dwarf trees from the hardware store are bare year after year. I am going to give these a shot. Thanks!
So glad you found us and glad you are enjoying it! :)
Going about my day.
MI Gardner: I grew apple trees in containers.
Me: 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Just found this and I might have to try these for next year - everyone is sold out for now. But the soil mix recipe I hope to try with my other dwarf trees. Thanks for all the great information! Blessings!
Baby is super excited and super adorable! a great addition to any garden video. :)
I learned that I Want to grow one of those amazing trees.
Answered my own question from last night that your gardens are private. Love your informative videos. I am starting a homestead and love the ideas of the rooting stem fruit trees. I am gathering info from lots of sources. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. This was the exact info on growing apples in containers that I was looking for.
Where did you purchase child? Am wanting for farm
akaram325 you just need to fertilize an egg and BINGO!
akaram325 haha cute
here in europe bakker from bakkercreek sells them. i bought mine at our local supermarket. i live in the beemster (old cheese and apple valley) they dont even need to be expensive. I now have a pear, apple, cherry and 2 plum trees. the cherry and plum are in full bloom. the pear and apple i bought last week. i live on the 8th floor of my building and have them fruiting on my balcony.
@@thepincushionman7063
Best done indoors, but also works outdoors 8n the right weather
akaram325 starting bid on meat child for $1000
So cool! I've seen these apple trees but wasn't sure about them. Thanks for doing this video! What a great option for ppl w small yards
It is a perfect option for those with small urban lots indeed.
Is she adorable or what?!!!! OMG too cute!
Wow. Such good information. We have a huge deck that we will be adding edibles to. These are perfect! 🤗
love your new assistant 💓
Oh my gosh is she getting big ! ❤ I'm planting a cherry tree today
OMG BABY!!!! Cuteness overload. And thank you I too thaught they were a hoax. No I can order one with confidence. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I could grow 3 different trees like this in the small space I have! Gorgeous baby too!
Thanks Luke! Great video! Really appreciate your info on apple trees!
Looking forward to growing some apple and plum trees. Thank you so much for your great infomation.
Your daughter looks like a cross between a McIntosh and Golden delicious. Glad she’s there for inspiration. Excellent video! Glad to be educated in container columnar apple trees! Looking to get a few this spring. Also, what kind of drainage was there in those whisky barrels? Did you need to drill more holes?
Oh my goodness Luke your little co-host is adorable! Great video as always!
thank you! :)
how are your apples doing?
Ok +1
Im literally just watching the baby for most of the beginning lol
Years ago I bought a book on fruit tree pruning by the Royal Horticultural Society. They recommended summer pruning espaliers by cutting back the arm and repeatedly cutting all the growth along the arm back to about 3 inches long -- to encourage the side growth to become spurs.
great video, very informative. I'll try these at my dad's property in N.C.. Perfect for a densely planted Orchard.
Oh I'm crying in Zone 5! Thanks for sharing. 🤗
This is amazing!!! I'm so happy bc these will be perfect for me in NY... 🍎 woohoo...and your daughter is adorable!
I was busy watching ... your baby! so I have to watch "your " again ! Baby is so sweet & cute !
Im a big fan of columner or (urban apple trees). I’ve got four of them. One on each corner of my 10x10 fire pit patio. They look great and I’m waiting til next year to see what they produce.
your Lil one stole the show. I love your show I have learned so much. Thank you
She always does!
I have a set of these. I have them in large buckets which get put out on my deck each year. They over winter in my garage. I have to say that the squirrels love them and will climb the tree and take bites out of the apples. I need a guard dog! I too live in MI, and they do great!
Your baby is adorable! These trees are so cute and amazing.
I love the idea and most likely will plant my own columnar apple tree.
Thank you for your video, I love it and I'm going to buy one. Cheers.
She is simply adorable! Her cuteness over shadowed everything!
i've always wanted by own back yard garden. i hope i can have one when i get my own place!
These apples seem to be for zones 4 thru 8.
I almost remember the awe that everyday experience is for tykes. I can remember a smell from excelsior packing that was in a garage at the end of the block. I was only 3 years old, and nobody knew I was gone, and for some reason, I wandered back to my house that was a few houses away. Little kids are natural explorers. That's a 65 yo memory.
That's so cool!
I'd love to find something similar that would grow in Southwest Florida. That is, until I move somewhere with frost hours.
great video!!! didn't know about these, definitely have to try these.. thank you
Glad you liked it!
I thought they just HAD to be fake too! How neat. Omg Geneva is SOOOOO cute! She's so good.
I can't stop watching the baby, lol
You need to get another channel for her!😀💖
I am so interested to know how these grew?
always fun to watch and i keep on learning great job
I used to grow all my fruit tree in wine barrels. I had to get rid of them though. I had massive problems with molds and Termites and the rings rusting away. They were on a concert slab and still got termites. They are a bad Idea in the New Orleans area. So I switched to 25 and 50 Gallon grow bags since they drain better and termites don't eat them. Really wish I could have keep them because the wood looks great. Thanks for the great Idea of Herbs as companion plants in large containers MIgarderner. I normally plant Marigolds around them to help keep pest away. I may have to do small pest repelling herbs, in those large containers also.
SUPER VIDEO!!! LOVE THE INFORMATION BUT LOVE YOUR CO-HOST MORE..!! SHE IS ADORABLE AND SURELY A GARDENER WITH A GREEN THUMB , JUST LIKE DAD.:) GREAT INFORMATION ON THE TREE, JUST WONDERED WHERE TO PURCHASE THIS TYPE OF COLUMNAR APPLE TREE?? THANKS SO MUCH!!
Thank you :) could you possibly do more videos on container planting Dwarf fruit trees and bushes?
Will do for sure!
yes please do, I could have a container orchard.
Where did you get these containers?
Chippy The Squirrel That's what I'm interested in too! I would love to have a big yard, but that can get pretty pricey, so I'd love to see how someone can maximize growing edibles in small spaces :)
There are some Ultra Patio Dwarf Apple trees available now! You can grow them in containers at least 18 inches diameter or larger. They are on dwarf root stock. Check out Pacific Groves online. They have made it possible to grow many fruit trees in containers as Ultra Dwarf or Super Patio Dwarf trees. 😊 I've bought quite a few Ultra Patio Dwarf fruit varieties from my local Lowes which purchases from Pacific Groves nursery.
Also that baby is just too cute!
DesertGardener I went to their website but it doesn’t look like you can order any trees directly from them. Did you say that Lowe’s has them ? Thanks
DesertGardener what is your container soil mix made of and also how often do you recommend watering ? Thanks
How incredible. Thanks for the info
I am so excited about this! Thank you for this video. Do you have update videos on these?
I was wondering when you two would grow one of those pink squirmy squealing ones!!! I must have missed it when it was happening, but hey found it this morning on Mother's Day so please wish your sweet wife a very happy Mother's day!
What an adorable kiddo! (and thanks for the video)
Your daughter was trying to still the show, so cute. Now the soil mix looked good.
GENEVAAAAA!!!!
:)
Hey Luke, many thanks for a great and informative video. 🙂👍🏻
This is so amazing! I must have forwarded this video to ten people.
That's pretty awesome. I've been trying to figure out how to make them but I'm not having any luck yet.
Appreciate the video. Have you been listtening in my garden to questions ive been having? lol New to raised bed, container gardening, not to mention the world of micro-greens, various greens, etc., i am priveledged to learn from you and some otheres :) Thanks again, very informative, encouraging, quick, understandable. DB N Tx.
Oh dear, you won't criticize for the errors will you ? : o ! : ) everyone.
Thanks for the tips. Just got 2 columnar apple trees.
Love how she's eating the dirt anyway....lol ;-)
😣
You seem like such a happy guy. You got my sub
You have given a wonderful way to grow spples, but, you have the mulch to close to the stem, you need to pull back about two to three inches to prevent rot. thanks for sharing.Blessings! !!!!!
Awesome video, very helpful 👍
Perfect timing with this video. I've been thinking if I could plant a dwarf pear tree in a wine barrel?
I just found this video, but I would like to know how these went with growing. I'm considering getting some (now that I know they exist) but was just curious how the entire process went for you.
Thank you for this video and information.
Thank you. I want to grow an apple tree or trees but am limited in space. This sounds like it could work.
PLEASE do an update! I am thinking of putting in 4 of these in the fall and want to know how they worked for you.
I miss living in Southern Michigan. :) Great video thanks! I doubt we can grow apples here in North Texas like you all do up there.
Dave Scheffer Pink Ladies and Granny Smiths, and there are a couple of antiques that do well in the south.
Love your content!
Your assistant is adorable
Thank you!
@@MIgardener hello... Here's a ... Root'n shoot'n potato. 😂 ruclips.net/video/UbzWZhOMfas/видео.html
I would love to see an update on these! I would love to buy, but I’m tentative b/c of the price. It could be well worth it...
That's pretty cool, I had no idea those trees existed. Also, always a pleasure to watch Geneva join you in the garden :-)
There will be lots more of her soon!
MIgardener | Simple Organic Gardening & Sustainable Living Yay :-)
Great video! Thanks!
BTW - when my younger brother was a baby in the late 1950s and early 1960s, he used put handfuls of dirt in his mouth. Granted, I don't believe there were pesticides or herbicides in the soil, but you never know. Anyway, he loved to eat dir AND fistfulls of pill bugs at about Geneva's age. He turned out OK.
Love the fruit series! Geneva is a gem!
Thank you!
Great info, thanks
Lowes sells them for quite a while, have about 4 varieties, regular price $39 but can always find on sale or clearance. Just picked up one for $5! Potted!
Max N 😰 I haven’t seen any- are they with green leaves or just roots?
Good to know. I am sure they will be up in price in the coming 2022 season though. No telling these days.
