    "This one here, I don't like it, I'm going to take it off, and that's how it's going to be." Made me smile. Fantastic video! Got my peaches all pruned yesterday and I understood why I needed to make each cut! There were a few though that had me waffling and then I remembered your comment above. :)

    @tomst9417 Год назад +3

    This is very timely for me as I will soon be pruning my peach trees. Last year I didn't prune enough of the 1 year old wood and subsequently the trees had too many peaches, more than the branches could support. Both of my trees then lost limbs during a severe thunderstorm, they were overburdened with the heavy fruit and snapped off of the main branches. Glad to hear Tuck is doing better!

      @8th C.Elisabeth I was going to get cherries too, but they only had one variety in stock, so i got apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, nectarine. Tried to get all disease resistant and dwarf but I grabbed a couple of half-standard Apples I'll put on the north end. How close do you think I should put them along the woods? There's one Maple in the area that has branches stretching 25' out and over the area I want to plant.

      What happens if you prune a young peach tree in the spring? I missed pruning in the winter because I didn’t know to prune it then. Not sure if I should go ahead and prune it now or wait until this winter. It’s a 2 year old tree.

    Very nice to see you James! I think that every time I see you prune a tree, I understand it better. It seems like peach trees must grow very fast to need so much pruning each year. I love the idea of keeping the tree short, and taking very good care of it. Looking forward to your next video. Good health and happiness to you and yours! Hugs, kissies, and well-wishes for Tuck!

  • @rowynnoe6468

    This video has so much information! I wish I knew all this info when I got my peach tree. I let it get way too big. I need to get out and do some serious pruning to get it back under control. I have been trying to watch videos over this winter to see what to do and your explanations were exactly what I needed to hear.

    Pruned today using your methods. Your explanation made it all clear. I shaped five interspecific plumcots, dapple dandy etc. into 3-5 base trunks growing into scaffolds. The company had already lopped off the main trunk but never would have known to snip off hugely long ends shooting into the sky. Thanks!

  •  6 месяцев назад +1

    This was SO incredibly helpful. Especially since I’m raising my new peach tree here in New Jersey. Have watched so many videos that just weren’t really explaining how and why they were pruning the way they were. Your step-by-step play by play finally made sense. Thank you!!

    James I watched your video several times. Been waiting for better weather but finally decided to put on snow boots ski gloves and heavy coat. We keep getting snow. But I pruned my peach tree today. Last year I followed your instructions and pruned my tree. We had a late freeze. I had a tall friend help me clamp tarps on the limbs. I only lost peach’s in one small area where the wind blew the tarp up. This year I got braver and pruned heavier. Thank you for your great close up instructions! Looking forward to great lemon Alberta peaches again this year.

    i can't begin to tell you how much I have learned from you within the past 2 years. You are my "garden savior." All my love goes out to the Tuckster! I told you a while back that I wanted merch with "The MAN".

    Wow thank you for the video instructions. I started last year and its great- 5 new trees in the ground 2- cheery, 2- plum, & 1- peach. I'm in zone 6a and it's good for fruit trees. There are many commercial apple & cherry farms nearby.
