One of the best pruning videos I've ever seen! Thank you!

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you!

This is such a great video. You are a very patient teacher. Explaining with examples of what your more mature fruit trees look like was very helpful. I am planning on planting 2 plum trees on dwarfing rootstock in my somewhat limited front garden and these series of videos is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you from down under in Melbourne, Australia.

Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful.

Excellent pruning videos. Thank you. I've read the Little Fruit Tree book and I'm hoping to cram quite a few varieties into my meager 12' x 15' back yard. Seeing a clear pruning example that's in-line with the book is very helpful.

Thank you for informative video. I'm planning on using the methods you are teaching with the fruit trees I hope to plant in my backyard in the next couple years.

I heard you comment on your recording skills a good suggestion is to get a go pro with a head strap or a chest strap. It will help you record better from 1st person view and all you do is press record and go. Get a 256gb SD card for maximum time to record

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try that!

do you save and root what you cut off

[@gardenwiseadventures]

I don't. Some trees will grow easily from cuttings and others won't. A better use of apple, pear, pluot, and peach trimmings would be to use them for grafting. I have saved and shared cuttings in the past. I don't always do that, though, because of limited time to properly prepare the cuttings.
