Deep South is one of only two homestead channels in my opinion that is worth watching. You're informative, sincere and put a lot of useful info into your videos without a lot of wasting time on foolishness. Thank you .
Danny & Wanda, Thank you so much for your videos! You are a great help to us (we are just getting started). Looking at apple trees right now! This is great information and very timely! God bless you!
Danny, you have been in my thoughts and prayers a lot lately. You have mentioned some heart problems, but when I was in prayer I felt it pressed upon me that in your past you were exposed to heavy metals and are having trouble now absorbing certain minerals such as selenium and magnesium. Selenium in particular can help flush heavy metals, but only if absorbed. Please consider this as what I receive in prayer is never of no value, but may simply be a clue to lead to the answer for you. It is YHWH's pleasure to reveal great mysteries to His children for their benefit. For the life of me I can't remember which homestead channel mentioned your channel, but I'm glad they did, you are a true asset to the the homesteading community, display a fantastic work ethic and I'm happy to mention your channel to others. I will continue to pray for your's and Wanda's health and success.
Jesus should tell you to lay off the facebook pseudoscience, and that if this man truly suffers from heavy metal poisoning he should seek out a doctor who can put him under dialysis/chelation. Eating walnuts won’t help heart disease. Unless of course you’re replacing a fast food diet with them, in which case, sure, jeebus is probably right.
Hi 👋 thanks for all the information I planted a apple tree from seed an it’s doing supper good also it popes out of soil same time I had maybe babe so I scared to move it in the yard and prune it lol
Deer came and did prune back all my apple trees branches, I had to put garden fence around them, double high. They will be three this spring, I think it is time to feed a bit, too. I will be adding one more that pollinates in the same flowering time as my other two. They are dwarfs so maybe this year or next they will start producing.
Thank you Danny, we have to replace one of our Apple trees, so we will be shopping soon. We live in north central Florida so your videos help me a lot. Of course we have a lot more sand. 👎🏼
Thank you for the info..I have learned something new about weighing the limbs/branches down so that they grow strong and spread out. Can I use stones as well and have them hand the limbs down?
Great information. Next year I will start adding fruit trees to my yards. I have a mature pecan and an almond tree now. This year I am planting, I hope, blueberries. As for the trees, I plan to prune them such that the center is pretty open so I can get up in there to harvest.
I did my granny smith Apple tree, dwarf peach tree and an old pear tree a few weeks ago! I'm so hoping I haven't hurt them! Still learning as I go! I hunted down ALL your videos on fruit trees! I haven't tried to graft anything yet! Have you ever propagated any of your trees?
Cut one of my apple trees down yesterday..noticed last year a few sections of blackness on the trunk and on some branches..so I bought 3 new ones to replace it
Thanks for the tips! We’re going on our second year with our trees and I’ll be trimming this spring. Would you use the same technique for pear trees? And semi-dwarf trees?
I am in the panhandle of Florida and would like to start an apple orchard. Do you have any recommendations where to get trees? Thank you for the most wonderful channel Danny & Wanda!
I have three Anna apple but I could only find semi dwarf when I bought them three years ago. Most of the root stock sold around here is dwarf or semi. 😯 The shipping restrictions from catalogs are horrible to Ca. Maybe it's His sign, yet again, we need to move. Lol. Counting down!
I have one I planted last year also. This is a good time to prune them? I didn’t Know it was so early. I will get out and prune mine tomorrow.. Thanks for sharing....
Thanks for the video. I just got an apple tree for my birthday and have not clue on how to care for it. I noticed the leafed are getting rusty and yellow. I have no idea what’s causing this. Do you have any advice? Thanks.
Would love to see how these are doing 4 years later! Mine died to bugs or disease. Probably because I didn't know when to treat them or what to treat them with. Going to make another stab at it. Buying some Ein Shemer, Ana, and the other variety that does well with Ana (can't remember the name).
Always best to cut your limbs off real close to the tree that way the little stob don't have to rot off and leave a hole in the tree if you cut it close it can just go ahead and heal over
Danny do you add a thick layer of manure before adding the wood mulch? I have got 6 truckloads of woodchips to spread in my yard to start my back to Eden garden. Everybody is talking about nitrogen robbing but I've only seen one guy spread manure before his woodchips. I'm not thinking of spreading manure everywhere but around trees. I'm putting in tall raised beds for gardening because I'm disabled and can't bend(bad bad back) but I don't want to hurt my fruit trees. I have a fig peach and pear trees in my yard.
I just bought a pink lady apple tree and in concerned about aphids I been fighting aphids on a tree I bought last year and I just can't get rid of them
Thanks Danny.... We've had apple trees for about 8 or 10 year now and they have never produced... I'm going to try some of your tips and see if that helps.... Thanks... Is there any special treatment I should give the soil? Thanks, Mechille
thanks for the video and ur time!! I have 2 peach trees, haven't pruned since planted 3 yrs ago... can i prune it like this way? Appletree and peachtree similar principle as pruning goes?? we got soo many peaches last year, and it looks like this year too! But I'll have to cut'em back next year! any advice appreciated!! :)
Connie Starbuck Theres really only a couple that grow and produce well They are Anna,Ein Shimier, and Cauley. These are the ones we have found that do well. Thanks
Hey Danny and Wanda! Great info. Thanks for that. I was wondering if you have plum trees as well? I'm having a battle with codling moths and would love to know how to get rid of them, organically if possible. I have 2 trees than came from my family's homestead in Copiah County. The last 2 years the moths got into all of the my plums. I'm ready to take back the plums! Any help will be deeply appreciated. God bless.
Very interesting. I planted a plum tree in my front yard and topped it at 7ft to keep it short. I spent the first 3 years picking all the flowers off the tree in spring in the hopes that it would work like my grapes and produce better. Well, on year 4 I let it fruit and it put on so much fruit that it bent the tree over to the ground! It has never been straight since. It kind of leans at a 25deg angle. I have tried putting t-posts in the ground and straightening it up by wiring it to the t-posts, but that did not work. The tree is now 9 years old and I can not get it to straighten up. Im not sure if I will ever get it growing straight. Do you have any suggestions that may help?
Grandpa's Place there’s no need to worry about straightening the tree as long as it’s holding fruit and not breaking and it’s easily picked thats great people try to train there trees this way. Check out a channel called L2Survive and his tours of the back to eden garden Paul has some beautiful apple trees that’s branches are growing completely sideways there huge to. I’m gonna try to link the video
Thank you for the response. Your plan makes a lot of sense, esp since y'all are "aging in place" and looking for solutions that allow you to maintain your lifestyle in the future in a safe and effective manner.
Good video but the shade cloth may prevent water getting down to the roots if it suppressed weeds, some sheets of cardboard or old news paper can do the same trick and break down , thick mulch also helps as you know. Just not a fan of weed mats, trees don’t use weed mats in nature.
the ants usually "farm" aphids... double sided tape or tree guard should help so they cannot climb up "ants" spray the tree with seaweed/ 1tbsp epsom salt... fertilizes them and repels many pests.. happy gardening! :P
Hey Danny, I'm wondering if I've waited too long to prune my trees back. It got warm really fast here in central Alabama. When is it too late? Thanks in advance
If they have buds and are putting on leaves, it is too late. If they haven't started it would be safe unless it is a blueberry. Leave the blueberries until after they are picked.
QUESTIONS! :))) FIRST YOU REMIND ME OF MY DAD. HE GREW TREES AND BUSHES AND OF COURSE A HUGE GARDEN. CAN YOU GROW ROME/RED ROME APPLES THERE IN MS? AND HOW OLD ARE THOSE POT TREES..2 OR 3 YRS TO GET THEM TO THAT HEIGHT? I HAVE SOME ROME APPLES GROWN SOUTH OF ME, BUT THEY LOOK LIKE THE SAME ONES I USED TO GET IN GEORGIA.. DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD GROW FROM SEED? A LOT OF THE ORCHARDS HAVE GONE TO DWARF AND SEMI DWARF GMO TREES...I DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO PLANT THEM..HERE...ON THE PROPERTY.. BUT I WAS THINKING OF DOING A ..LOL "WOODSY APPLESEED" THING ALONG THE ROAD. IF THESE YAHOOES DON'T SPRAY THEM AND KILL THEM. YES THEY DO. YES THEY DO, THE SAME STUFF THEY USED IN VIETNAM.
Deep South is one of only two homestead channels in my opinion that is worth watching. You're informative, sincere and put a lot of useful info into your videos without a lot of wasting time on foolishness. Thank you .
Very curious how your trees look now?
Like a few others, I’m curious how these two are doing now and how they look. Anything different you would do now?
Danny & Wanda, Thank you so much for your videos! You are a great help to us (we are just getting started). Looking at apple trees right now! This is great information and very timely! God bless you!
Thank you Danny for this video. I just started some young peach trees.
I planted two more apple trees. Ready to get them ready.

Great info. Thank you. I'm getting ready to trim several fruit trees here before long.
Thank you. Very educational Danny.
Can you do a 3 year follow up on these trees
Thank you Danny, we have to replace one of our Apple trees, so we will be shopping soon. We live in north central Florida so your videos help me a lot. Of course we have a lot more sand. 👎🏼
Hi Danny and Wanda, great video. I'm hoping to find updates on your channel, on these trees. Thank you for great content- always.
Great video showing what your taking about 5:55 praise to the person with the camera 📸
thank you Sir
We just did the same thing a couple weeks ago
Loved the video! SO full of good information. I LOVE apple trees and learning about them.. Love you guys!! Thanks for the great video!!
Bumble Bee Thanks.
Great video! I'm going to use some of these techniques on our orchard!
Thank you for the info..I have learned something new about weighing the limbs/branches down so that they grow strong and spread out. Can I use stones as well and have them hand the limbs down?
You can use a tent steak and a strap to the ground
Great information. Next year I will start adding fruit trees to my yards. I have a mature pecan and an almond tree now. This year I am planting, I hope, blueberries. As for the trees, I plan to prune them such that the center is pretty open so I can get up in there to harvest.

Still learning as I go!
I hunted down ALL your videos on fruit trees!
I haven't tried to graft anything yet!
Have you ever propagated any of your trees?
Yes, we propagate some of our fruit trees.
Cut one of my apple trees down yesterday..noticed last year a few sections of blackness on the trunk and on some branches..so I bought 3 new ones to replace it
Thanks for Sharing all the Great Info & tips on tree care.
Thanks & have A Great & Blessed Day
Funny, I just came in from looking at the apple trees we planted and here was your video! Thanks Danny.
Thanks for the tips! We’re going on our second year with our trees and I’ll be trimming this spring. Would you use the same technique for pear trees? And semi-dwarf trees?
Much needed info. we need to trim our fruit trees but have been putting off
You mentioned putting the limbs in the fridge for grafting - about how long can they stay in the fridge for?
I am in the panhandle of Florida and would like to start an apple orchard. Do you have any recommendations where to get trees? Thank you for the most wonderful channel Danny & Wanda!
This was very helpful!
Great info thanks
Very helpful
Thank you!
I’ve never heard of putting weights on the limbs, interesting 🦋💜
I have three Anna apple but I could only find semi dwarf when I bought them three years ago. Most of the root stock sold around here is dwarf or semi. 😯 The shipping restrictions from catalogs are horrible to Ca. Maybe it's His sign, yet again, we need to move. Lol. Counting down!
JM at The Nuthouse Jen there is no amount of money that would make me move to CA. All i can say is i woulod be leaving fast. Thanks
Deep South Homestead we are getting things in order to do so.

WORM GITTER Thanks
Very useful video, thank you very much 😃

Timing is perfect. I'm picking out some fruit trees this week. What are your thoughts about a 3-in-1 apple tree? Great video. Thanks for sharing.
TexasRoadrunners I think its great i have some ive grafted to have more than one variety on it for pollination. Thanks
TexasRoadrunners i
Never herd of putting weights on the limbs. Thanks Danny.
bob homestead we use small 1/2 gallon milk or juice jugs and tie them to the limb and fill with water till the limb begins to sag and stop. Thanks
Awesome! 🌱

Thank you for your teaching video.
Thanks Danny.... We've had apple trees for about 8 or 10 year now and they have never produced... I'm going to try some of your tips and see if that helps.... Thanks... Is there any special treatment I should give the soil? Thanks, Mechille
Make sure the ph is 6.8 Add lime if necessary.
Thanks Danny.. we'll check it.
thanks for the video and ur time!! I have 2 peach trees, haven't pruned since planted 3 yrs ago... can i prune it like this way? Appletree and peachtree similar principle as pruning goes?? we got soo many peaches last year, and it looks like this year too! But I'll have to cut'em back next year! any advice appreciated!! :)
Hi, never heard of cyon wood till you said it
Lesley Harris Its Scion it is what you use to graft with.Thanks
great video....thank you!
How's the trees now?
Nice video. What time of year do you begin pruning?
Thank you for this. We have never been able to grow apple trees on our place in MS. What variety grows best in Zone 8A?
Connie Starbuck Theres really only a couple that grow and produce well They are Anna,Ein Shimier, and Cauley. These are the ones we have found that do well. Thanks
Thank you, Deep South Homestead
Check this out:www.kuffelcreekapplenursery.com/
How tall is the apple tree be what size it is
2 Questions
What is cyan wood?
Were you cutting at any angle when trimming the trees?
It is used for grafting. Yes slight angle.
scion wood, as Danny said, for grafting.
How’s your trees doing? We are about to get a few different trees for our homestead
Almost all of our trees are blooming or about to bloom. We are praying that we don't get a late Freeze like last year.
Hey Danny and Wanda! Great info. Thanks for that. I was wondering if you have plum trees as well? I'm having a battle with codling moths and would love to know how to get rid of them, organically if possible. I have 2 trees than came from my family's homestead in Copiah County. The last 2 years the moths got into all of the my plums. I'm ready to take back the plums! Any help will be deeply appreciated. God bless.
What kind of dirt, the best kind of land, to grow apples trees on?
A good fertile sandyloam soil that drains well.
Got mine done a few weeks ago too. Is there a reason you didn't remove the little stake and band from tree #2?
It didn't have a strong enough trunk yet.
Very interesting. I planted a plum tree in my front yard and topped it at 7ft to keep it short. I spent the first 3 years picking all the flowers off the tree in spring in the hopes that it would work like my grapes and produce better.

Im not sure if I will ever get it growing straight.
Do you have any suggestions that may help?
I would tell you that you should have thinned out the fruit even today.But,at 9 yrs. old let it go and fruit because that's what you planted it for.
Grandpa's Place there’s no need to worry about straightening the tree as long as it’s holding fruit and not breaking and it’s easily picked thats great people try to train there trees this way.

Hi y’all. Danny, why don’t you like a central leader in your trees?
inderwink We like our trees to grow wide and out so we can reach the fruit easily instead of tall where the fruit would be hard to gather. Thanks
Thank you for the response. Your plan makes a lot of sense, esp since y'all are "aging in place" and looking for solutions that allow you to maintain your lifestyle in the future in a safe and effective manner.
why not just do the mulch only? no shade cloth?
How short may a full size apple be kept ? Thank you !
It can be any height you want.
Good video but the shade cloth may prevent water getting down to the roots if it suppressed weeds, some sheets of cardboard or old news paper can do the same trick and break down , thick mulch also helps as you know. Just not a fan of weed mats, trees don’t use weed mats in nature.
This cloth allows water to pass through.
Thank you for the tips !
Does anybody have tips to rid your trees of leaf eating ants?
the ants usually "farm" aphids... double sided tape or tree guard should help so they cannot climb up "ants" spray the tree with seaweed/ 1tbsp epsom salt... fertilizes them and repels many pests.. happy gardening! :P
@@hilow8331 awesome! :D

We mainly plant Anna and Ein Shemer apples we are so far south that some apples don't produce well because we don't have the chilling hours here.
Didn't see you put it in the ground. :(
The apple tree? We have a video in the playlist Apples on putting these trees in the ground.
Thank you!! xo
I'm amazed apple trees have survived thousands of years of evolution. They seem to fragile.
Babies are fragile as well. They have survived for a long time as well. Taking care of things is not amazing.
Babies (our own) are mammals.
:)
