- 'If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.' Once again, I was too busy to thin fruit, now I have a number of snapped branches that could have been avoided. Posting this to remind you all.
Dear Stephen. Thank you for all your videos. I have watched them for several years. I grow apple trees as a hobby in harsh country in NSW, Australia. All sorts of UK and French apple varieties, and have to quadruple fence them to ward off huge kangaroos, wild goats, stray sheep, rabbits etc. it’s quite a task, and then we have drought too. Anyway, I love watching your videos and often check to see if you have another one loaded. Please continue. You add happiness to the lives of us apple fanciers.
“No excuses” that comment earns my respect and I will now bite my tongue.😊
Incredible amount of fruit. Thanks for all of your excellent videos you've filmed of your heirloom orchard and some of the practices your using to maintain it.
Thank you Stephen, You sparked my love of fruit trees and now I've planted my own backyard orchard with 20 trees. Apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, plumcot and numerous berries and nuts! The interesting part is that I'm from Montana and have selected cold hardy varieties that thrive even in our 4b growing zone. This year I will add a Cox's Orange Pippin in your honor.
The branch angle is way too shallow. If the lead branch went up steeply at an angle of 45 °, that would not have happened. The Oeschberg / Palmer system builds a stable tree. There are no water shoots there either
woah impressive speed at thinning, i guess that comes with practice
Hi Steven. Great videos very thorough and informative. Would be great to see more and learn more.
You, just like Monty Don - Gardeners World - BBC UK, have experienced the same. We have yet to have fruit on our immature trees, but we are having trouble with branches being shed from the huge sycamores, and only due to the drought and weight of the leaves, and the gusty wind. Thanks for reminding us.
is stephen ok? hasnt posted in a while
Hi Stephen I have a small orchard in the Clyde Valley. I would like to learn more about apple identification and wondered whether you could recommend some literature to read? Could you do something with the thinned fruit if it is so big? Although if thinned earlier in the season then I expect there really isn't much could be done with it. I am in the Clyde Valley Orchard Group, recently becoming a cooperative, and we've now started bottling pasteurised apple juice which we sell locally.
Which is the best way to graft.clift or bark craft and is it necessary to seal the big cuts of grafting with wax before wrapping them with polythene
stephen is the best
Great video! Is it possible to re-graft the broken branch? Not cut it away but put it back together? Thank you!
Wow so much Apple in one Tree
Look like yummy......
I Love Apple very much
Forget about apple trees you grow them Indonesia because the climate is tropical.
Yes I know if Apple Tree can't grow in Jakarta but in my Village in Malang "Apel Malang" Indonesia can grow
What do you ‘paint’ the broken part with?
Never enough time.
Hey Stephen, I enjoy watching your videos, I have an apple orchard myself in Minnesota. My question is this. Are there a lot of deer there that eat your fallen apples or do you pick them up off the ground to prevent the nasty apple / worm cycle. I was just curious.
nice video as usual. Can you do a quick video on the pollination of apples. I am interested in what you think about using crab apple to polinate an orchard of trees.
Hi Stephen. In some of your videos you talk about Beauty of Bath. I would like to experiment with BoB interstock but can't immediately find scions for that variety. yould you tell me where I can order some.
Do you use the thinning.... Its my pears that are drooping I've propped
It is now January 10, 2019. Where are you? We hope all is well with you and family. However, we miss your musings on your orchard and family life. I am also retired, your age, and consulting for eye care physicians in St. Louis, Missouri USA. Please keep us posted. John from St. Louis
John Stewart Hi John. I’m safe and well, but a long way from the orchard, currently New Zealand en route to Brisbane. It’s a long story and has to do with my now main interest, skin cancer diagnostics education. Video logging from the orchard will, I trust, continue, but probably never at the rate I was posting at, as I have already said pretty much all I have to say! Kind regards.
Thanks for the update. All the best to you and safe travels.
Would love to see an update video on your woodland!
Dr. Hayes, why has this been the last of your posts? I understand you have a life, but, we are very interested in our activities, for sure. I'm a retired eye doc and very interested in your orchard activities. John from St. Louis, MO USA
A new job opportunity has kept Stephen busy and away from RUclips.
You know you've gone too far when a video appears at the top of your feed entitled "Apple Watch Series 4" and you get excited because you think it's a video from Stephen Hayes and there must the three series you can go back and watch. Crushing disappointment when reality dawns and it's a fancy watch by Apple.
(Grafting and planting 80 tree rare/heritage variety apple orchard in France inspired by your videos. Originally meant to be 10 trees but it got a bit out of hand. Thank you!)
I’m planning a backyard orchard and I like the size of your trees. What rootstock do you have on your apple trees?
Sam Massey Most of our trees, including these, are on MM 106 which I find the most generally useful stock. In poor soil a bigger stock such as MM 111 may be better, in very good soil a weaker stock like M9 may be preferable, but MM 106 has served us very well.
I live in America, are these rootstocks winter hardy?
Sam Massey No problem with southern English winters, but where do you live in USA - Florida, Minnesota, New Mexico? US rootstocks are different from European stocks, you would do well to seek local advice. Try Michael Phillips or Trees of Antiquity.
I live in New England and thanks for all the help!
Are these dwarf trees?
Daves Faves Yes, regular open centre dwarf bush trees on M106. This used to be fairly standard for commercial orchards for much of the 20th century, until the dawrf pyramid and now the ultra dwarf spindle nush style came in.
Thanks for your reply Stephen. I enjoyed a few of your videos last night.
i want scoin green apple.. can sent to me..
New video!
