Sure wish I'd found this video before I planted my cherry trees this year. Good thing is, I only planted 1 of em, so I'll get to use this technique on the second one. Thanks for making these videos because it sure has helped me both in the garden and as far as the upkeep on certain trees around the yard. God bless, have a nice day.
There was one video where we didn’t hear Nancy say have a blessed day at the end and we were so disappointed. It was cool to hear Hollis say it for her today. lol oh if we all could edit videos like Nancy and had the knowledge of Hollis we could all be RUclipsrs! Have a blessed day! We love being a part of your RUclips family!
Thanks to your videos and your wonderful teaching, my garden is doing great! My grandbabies love going to the garden, watch things grow and help harvest. They are four and three. You and Nancy have been a true blessing to me and I love learning from you. May God continue to bless you.
You are an excellent teacher, I so appreciate the attention to detail. You really remove the spirit of doubt. I can do this! Thanks so much. Hi to Nancy and Hugs to Bing. Bless You'all. Hollis you are funny.
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. We really love Jobes organic amendments. Looking forward to seeing your new homestead progress. May God richly bless you and Nancy!
Lol Hollis you do a great Nancy impression! Thank you for all your valuable content. Looks like you are well and truly settling into your new gorgeous life!!
Hi hola and Nancy!! Just recently bought a plum tree and I’ve watched this video plenty of times for me and also to help my mom n law since she also has a peach tree. We live in South Carolina. Still cold but weather hopefully changing soon. Was wondering how much fertilizer should be added to the amended soil for the hole? Love your videos by the way. Amazing couple 🙌♥️
Hollis, when you & Nancy go to that great homestead in the sky, think about leaving your notes to a place or group where they will be used to teach horticulture and agriculture to people who want to homestead but do not know these things. You guys are natural born teachers.
im so glad you came out with this video … ive been waiting on it because im getting ready to plant 6 fruit trees … and im tired of losing several of the ones ive planted. I too live in florida, but in the nw portion of the panhandle..... thanks for all you do for us
I may never plant anything into the ground BUT I watch all your videos intensely as if when I do I will know what to do. As always, thank you for sharing and explaining everything with your diagrams. God bless you and Nancy! Stay healthy and happy!
Execllent job on this video, Hollis as always, you've been working hard since your move, I'm sure you both take some time off to have a rest and fun times too! Everything is looking fantastic there, much blessings to you both! Thanks for sharing your video's they are great.
I watched intently, so I can remember how to plant a fruit tree in the future. Thank you, Hollis for the info. You're a good teacher, and Nancy's voice was a little deeper than usual. Wink.
Can the smaller tree be put into the larger hole since the small tree would grow into a 45 gal. Type hole in time? I heard for fruit trees dig the hole 3ft. deep by 3ft. Round hole. Is that over doing? Like your sketch very simple to follow.
Hahaha 🤣 thanks for the good laugh at the end Mr. Hollis 🙏😆🙏 my kids said that wasn’t Ms. Nancy😆🤣 also thanks for sharing your experience🙏😇🙏 we have learned a lot for all of your videos. We love them all😍 We can’t wait to start our 1st fruit tree! Have a blessed day sir🙏😇🙏
I have been a follower of yours and the love and passion for gardening came back, so now I am back at it! And will not stop ever again. God bless you guys! I am basically growing Vegetables in an organic way at the back of my small backyard at Eglin AFB, this is now my 3rd year🥰🥰🥰♥️
Each year it is different based On weather. Ask the people at the nursery that you are buying from. They have A vested interest in seeing you succeed because with a receipt you can usually take it back. Blessings
Great video! Thanks so much for the drawings and detailed explanation, it helps me to see it haha! And yes these Florida storm & hurricane winds are strong so great idea on the tie downs.
Nancy and you are going to like these....The Misses and I have that variety planted here in S.C.,,, It's 6 years old now,, 12' high and about 9' round... We have so many figs every year, that we give away what we and the birds can't eat...lol
Nancy here - Don’t feel bad, he is considered one of the best engineering designer for the Shipyard was so good he was checker for the faults for his department for many years. God is awesome now he uses this gifts to teach people. Have a blessed day😍
I was wondering the same I have heavy clay soil. How did it work for your soil? I'm soooo scared I'm going to mess my fruit trees up, I'm a beginner 😅😅
Such a family team event, planting this tree. I'll bet Nancy is shooting the video, Hollis is digging and Bing Bing is coaching "Come on, Dad! Dig that hole! Dig the Hole! You can do it!!!" Lol!
What an upgrade. I can see fencing now. Your new place is huge. Now you can plant trees, but alas, the soil. Wonder if you need to replenish the loam/moss/cow manure every few months or years because the finer particles can dissappear underneath with watering
Sorry, we don’t like beets so we never made a video on them. I will grow some when I get the garden complex up and running and do a video for you. We will donate all the beers to the soup kitchen that Nancy volunteers at here locally
Mr. Hollis, I know this is completely off subject from this video, but when you grow your tomatoes do you prune any suckers or just let them grow? So many people are constantly pruning but I have never seen tomato plants as full and productive as yours.
I bought my first peach tree this year. Its about 4 foot tall. It doesnt have any leaves what so ever on it, but they claim it isnt dead. Thankfully its guaranteed for a year
Is Nancy feeling ok she didn't quite sound like herself haha...great video Hollis thanks for the tips! I assume this method works for non fruit trees as well? Thanks for all you guys do God Bless!
I planted Peach trees (2) up here in NW Indiana, Zone 5. This was three years ago. I have not seen one flower or flower bud on either one. They appear healthy. I've pruned them into a nice bowl shape. I've pretty much done everything that you do with fertilizer and watering.QUESTION is... Why no flowers yet?? Does it take years to have fruit to come in? I bought these at a big box store and estimate their age at around 5-6 years. HELP...
Make sure the tree variety is for your area, they need certain number of chill hours. Some need as much as 1,200 chill hours (below 45 degrees). Big box stores are good for selling things not for my area.
Me the home gardener who is planning to get a dwarf Cherry tree and dwarf plum tree is wondering. #1. What reputable nurseries shall I use? #2. Which variety of Cherry and Plum tree shall I select and why?
@@HollisNancysHomestead I knew it with those drawings ha. We are learning tons from you, already have the sweet potatoes in their mason jars, garden being set up slowly. Thank you for your knowledge, we watch daily! God Bless
Hahahaha!!! Loved the ending!! :) :) :)
This is one of the best fruit tree planting videos I've seen. The diagram really helps. Thank you.
👍

Hi Hollis and Nancy, I have a mulberry tree I need to plant. Is there a certain time of year when I should plant it? I’m in SW Florida.
Each year it is different based
On weather. Ask the people at the nursery that you are buying from. They have
A vested interest in seeing you succeed because with a receipt you can usually take it back. Blessings
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank you.
Great video! Thanks so much for the drawings and detailed explanation, it helps me to see it haha!
And yes these Florida storm & hurricane winds are strong so great idea on the tie downs.
👋😊
Awesome info
Great information. Love your videos. Hope you are fairing well from this Florida heat wave.
Great video God bless
Great video Hollis, like always I'm learning a lot from you.
God bless you both.

Another fantastic video!! I want to grow fruit trees but I need to clear out some underbrush in the back yard.
Great Video, Hollis...... What type of Fig did you plant ??
This one is a brown turkey fig
Nancy and you are going to like these....The Misses and I have that variety planted here in S.C.,,, It's 6 years old now,, 12' high and about 9' round... We have so many figs every year, that we give away what we and the birds can't eat...lol
just love two of them :) sketch and detailing was more perfect than my engineering drawing :(
Nancy here - Don’t feel bad, he is considered one of the best engineering designer for the Shipyard was so good he was checker for the faults for his department for many years. God is awesome now he uses this gifts to teach people. Have a blessed day😍
This video is great. I have a question. Is the planting process the same if I have red clay soil?
Yes
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank you for the response.
I was wondering the same I have heavy clay soil. How did it work for your soil? I'm soooo scared I'm going to mess my fruit trees up, I'm a beginner 😅😅

🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶
Can u post you sketch, maybe on your Facebook page? ? I tried a snapshot but it didn’t do great. Thx!
Orange trees like sand. That’s why they grow so well in Florida. Peach trees do well in clay soil which is why they do well in Georgia.
Peaches are not native to Georgia...isn't that crazy?
Yeah, but they do awesome in Georgia which is clay soil.
I am attempting to grow black berries bushes in pots. What soil mix do you recommend for brambles in containers?
Amen 🙏
Love your videos. I was wondering, now that you have more land have you considered putting in bee boxes?
What an upgrade. I can see fencing now. Your new place is huge. Now you can plant trees, but alas, the soil. Wonder if you need to replenish the loam/moss/cow manure every few months or years because the finer particles can dissappear underneath with watering
I’m working hard with the soil. It takes a lot of work to keep it healthy but it’s doing good👍
Does this differ from planting a bare root tree or is it the same procedure?
Hollis, Do you plant beets? If so, Do you have a video on it? I can't find it. Thank you.
Sorry, we don’t like beets so we never made a video on them. I will grow some when I get the garden complex up and running and do a video for you. We will donate all the beers to the soup kitchen that Nancy volunteers at here locally

Mr. Hollis, I know this is completely off subject from this video, but when you grow your tomatoes do you prune any suckers or just let them grow? So many people are constantly pruning but I have never seen tomato plants as full and productive as yours.
We have never prune our tomatoes
Thank you so much!! Lord bless you both!!
I bought my first peach tree this year. Its about 4 foot tall. It doesnt have any leaves what so ever on it, but they claim it isnt dead. Thankfully its guaranteed for a year
Where did you buy the tree, what type of peach tree is it
Is Nancy feeling ok she didn't quite sound like herself haha...great video Hollis thanks for the tips! I assume this method works for non fruit trees as well? Thanks for all you guys do God Bless!
LOL
Would this apply to Blueberries too?
Do you have any tips for adding nutrients to a already established fruit tree
Add tree spikes. We have a video on it
@@HollisNancysHomestead thank you

Add a heavy dose of bone meal every 8 weeks
Thank you Sir! I'll give it a whirl.

Mr. Hollis you did a good job of laying out exactly how to plant a fruit tree, but leave the “Have a Blessed day” to Nancy😃
How to prune those new fruit trees is another topic of interest so as to open them up to the sun and to establish good form.
Video coming
I planted purple potatoes in a grow bag. All I got was loads of top growth and NO potatoes. What happened?
Too much nitrogen. Next time add a very heavy dose of bone meal on the soil when you plant
@@HollisNancysHomestead I used Miracle Grow potting soil.
🙏❤️🙏
Your drawings and pencil tell me you might've been an engineer? I've also seen you put a key in some
Retired Engineering Designer
@@HollisNancysHomestead I knew it with those drawings ha. We are learning tons from you, already have the sweet potatoes in their mason jars, garden being set up slowly. Thank you for your knowledge, we watch daily! God Bless
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
