This guy is a human work horse! So much land and so productive!
It's a delight to see what Akiva made on that land. Wonderful!
He needs to start making videos again! He seems like a wealth of knowledge
He had one on beebalm earlier this week, hopefully he keeps them coming.
I subscribe to his channel but he hasn't made a vid in awhile now. Great to see him make a guest star appearance, what a surprise!
@@lionscircle4700 are you subscribed to "Akiva Silver" or to "Twisted Tree Farm?" There's now two new videos on his "Twisted Tree Farm" channel.
My hope is that this video spurs some new videos from him.
Akiva is one of my favorite humans.
Probably one of the most likeable people on the planet. Heck, both of these guys in this video.
@@CanadianPermacultureLegacy No kidding!
Thank you SO much for filming your visit at Akiva's place. Without Akiva's channel i might not have found your channel. :) Hope Akiva starts making videos regularly again. Miss his content videos.
I'm hoping this helps spur him to make some more videos :)
You introduced his farm to me and we have bought his fruit trees in the past!!
Awesome!
Insanely beautiful patches of bee balm and butterfly weed 🌿♥️
16:30 Akiva is my spirit animal. Oh my God that's me right there.
I’m so glad that you shared his property with us! I’m not sure when, but at one point on another video, Akiva demonstrated a couple simple grafting techniques. He introduced his book: Trees of Power: 10 essential arboreal allies. Along with your YT channel and a couple other texts (Shephard, Falk, etc), it completed shifted my gardening paradigm. If people have not read Akiva’s book- definitely worth it!!!
All i can say is just,wow😍😍😍
I want this guy to be my next door neighbour. I'd love to chat with him over the back fence. If everyone on earth shared his dream our earth would be a Garden of Eden.
Sent over from Roots & Refuge!
What a beautiful place! I am green with envy! 😍
Akiva is a BEAUTIFUL being. And that beauty spreads to his gardening. So amazing! Thank you for this!
i love his property, truly inspiring
Look at that beautiful echinecia!
Wow, what a place!
That’s a hummingbird moth on the scarlet monarda. They are the adult hornedworm. Rare to see them. I’ve seen them once in my whole life. Beautiful!
It’s lovely that you are not using plastic. Great video as always, greetings from England.
I could spend many happy hours traipsing about on that property. Probably get ate up with chiggers, but worth it! Such a nice piece of land!
That's definitely a great place to be during a pandemic.
What an awesome place! Thank‘s for sharing! 🙏🏻🤩
Wow seriously huge amount of trees !!!
He has been a planting machine for 10+ years.
Wow seems like his nursery has grown a lot since his last videos. We need more vids!
Sure do!
Great video
This is amazing! It's awesome seeing how he's crafting his outer zones to be incredibly productive and need very minimal maintenance. Hopefully he can find someone to start a grazing operation with him! Thanks as always!!!
I think those "lobster moths" are more commonly known as hummingbird moths :)
What's the name of the bush they are attracted to?
@@cliffpalermo Looks like bee balm to me...
@@w4do Yup. Monarda, not always the easiest plant to keep / stay healthy....also best in groups
They are actually the adult form of the tomato hornworm!
Their tongue is double the length of their body!
I need more Akiva in my life. 🌿♥️
Got excited to see your American Plum you planted years ago be dumping fruit for you now! I just planted one this year so visualizing my future 😍
what a beautiful place! that beebalm😍😍😍 and your friends are lovely
Such a pleasure when you fellas get together. Living legends!
So incredible and wonderful the work you guys do. So generous to share your knowledge and in a way so humble and gracious. Thank you!
Super happy to have a wonderful community of folks interested in what we're up to.
Thanks for making this video, makes me wanna move back home :)
I didn't know about them. Thank you.
What a biceps!
Dude works out. On top of farming.
I just went to Akita’s website, and much to my surprise his book “Trees of Power” is the book I am currently reading. Groovy coincidence!
So neat!
Excellent!
Great video. I enjoyed Akiva’s book on audible. A great book for anyone who loves trees but doesn’t have the time to read books.
this video confirms it: 2022 must be the year I find a way to start trees in earnest, however best I can in my tiny, shady, suburban lot. I've got a dozen figs in my first nursery bed this year, but I can do better.
Agreed. I intend to really go for it when I prune the trees this year. Also trying a lot from seed as well. We have about 20 fruit varieties I dug 100m of swales last year, but only had 5 volunteer peach trees to plant out. Water harvesting and directing will play a big part in the plans for Autumn.
The beauty of starting trees in your tiny spot is that once they grow for a year they can be sold, gifted, traded, secretly planted, whatever! They can go elsewhere for their full life. You can truly be a nursery, as in helping little babies and kids get a good start and then wishing them the best as they head out into the world!
@@edibleacres Parents have 5 acres with a 60 tree olive grove. I have experimented with swales on the 1/4 acre veg darden site, and now want to plant out the main site. There are also fruit trees allover the area in abandoned gardens, so taking cuttings from numerous varieties as well as established trees. Cheers for the great vids, especially water movement, this has given me inspiration for this arid climate.
The ponds reminded me at a video about Sepp Holzer who introduced permaculture to his area in Austria against all the odds of the authorities.
Love the video format. I have been following edible acres channel for what feels like 5+ years, just found my way to twisted tree's youtube from yours this last week. So glad you shared this space with us for awhile.
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see how he's doing his nursery and planting out to bigger trees! Amazing!
Awesome tour!
I found you from Roots and Refuge. Jessica shouted you out.
Thanks for the tour, good to see Akiva and all those trees! Especially lovely to see the 12yo hybrid hazels looking good at @7:00! I am growing a bunch of those, I believe from the same mother trees, and I am very excited to deepen my relationship with those trees. Even the littler ones around @10:30 are looking rugged and fruitful so young - awesome.

Those "lobster moths" are born from fricken tomato horn worms! I just learned this news yesterday. Had no idea
So neat!
@@edibleacres As someone pointed out below, its a hummingbird clearwing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemaris_thysbe. So cool to watch and they love to get nectar from monarda (I have loads m. fistula). Tomato hornworm is a separate species and way more of a garden pest.
Loved this, thank you 😊
this man is wonderful. i want to be like him
I just bought Akiva's book! So excited to read itl What a lovely human and doing such good work. Thank you for sharing.
Is it just me or did Akiva get all Jacked since the last time we saw him?
Ha! Bro works out. I can't imagine lifting weights and doing pushups after 12 hours of farming work but to each their own :)
that could explain his brief hiatus
Amazing thank you for sharing
It's awesome to see all those healthy chestnuts growing on volusia hardpan soil. John Sangl has his chestnuts growing on venango hardpan too.
Makes you wonder if the well drained requirement is a little over stated.
My one acre orchard doesn't seem to mind either, having gotten about 10 inches of rain in the last 3 weeks.
Thanks for sharing.
Every tree up there is on a pit/mound planting style so at least the root crown can always have well drained and loose soil. The rest of their root systems are right in it, though!
Thank you Akiva and Sean and all, great tour with so many characters
Such a cool human, and farm, and plants. Oh, and the dog too. Thanks, Sean & Akiva!
Amazing!
What a beautiful and productive landscape. Y'all are making the world a better place. Thanks for sharing!
This was a great tour. I could watch you guys walking around discussing plants/trees for hours. It really makes me long for having a decent size property in the country to grow more food.
Hoping you find a way to have access to space!
@@edibleacres thanks, Sean, I hope so too!
This is so inspiring to us, thank you for sharing!
Side note..we have a 40 acre plot, had it since 1999. 30 acres timber and 10 put in the CRP program. Osage orange used to be planted for property lines...its all throughout the timber now, as well as along the fields, and can be very aggressive over long term and very difficult to manage. thorns are hardcore they tear up tractor tires. Just a heads up if you plant them!!
I'd plant 1 or 2 as specimens/mother trees but I shudder at the thought of planting lots of them!
Thank you for the notes on this.
Thanks for the washable walkabout! Akiva is hilarious
Wonderful and inspiring. Great work Akiva!
I never heard of a swale. I love learning a new skill to implement. Thank you for this informative video. Thumbs up 👍
some more water harvesting earth works jargon you might be interested in: keyline system, zai holes, negarim
@@foobargorch I will definitely look them up. Thank you👍
Great video!
I checked out his website, Twisted Tree Nursery & everything is sold out! Thanks, Sean for teasing us. 😒😯 Maybe I'll check back & see if there's more plant stock available. 😊
Oh! I bought Trees of Power a while back. I didn't realize the author is your friend. Small world.
I call them lobsters with wings haha. Glad other people see that too! Absolutely beautiful nursery & tour. Going to check out the online shop now for sure.
A pear forest would be awesome!😎
Whoah!!! Thanks!
Cool! A Hawkmoth! Those things are like a hummingbird analog - or the other way around.
The plant at 4:17 looks like beebalm 'Raspberry Wine' to me.....have the same plant it blooms in July. Started with 1 plant and it has spread nearly 15 feet wide in 4 years. I grow it for the pollinators; of which its a hummingbird favorite.
Just beautiful, Akiva!!
What an awesome day! Would have loved to take that tour with you guys. Great work!
That hummingbird moth is actually a clearwing, you can tell if ya look closely. Really cool specimen!
Thanks for the info on the moth. I'm sticking with Lobster Moth for now, but good to know there is a proper name :)
I'm pretty sure I still have that flash shirt from Target back in the middle school days. Should definitely cut those sleeves off too.
Ha!
I think I took a recent video Cornell Extension class with your friend - he's great!
Terrific video! Thank you, we are looking at property tomorrow hoping to do the same.
Best of luck!
Wow! That was inspirational!
Waaaaaay cool! I love this to bits. Shared the grazing opportunity with Abundance+ members.
Heavenly. Simple as that.💛
It would be great to see a tour in the fall. It must look stunning then too, and be filled with deliciousness.🤗
Thank you again, Sean and Akiva, for sharing this with us!💛
We'll plan to do more visits with him in the future and film a bit here or there :)
@@edibleacres Wonderful!🤗
That was lovely thank you.
Bob Gordon elder are my favorites. Such prolific berry producers but the berries release from the stems more easily than any elder I have worked with thus far. I still don't have the "on contour" idea figured out. That sure is pretty land. My father had land in upstate New York that he gave away to a friend. I wish it had come down to my children and grandchildren. This looks like a wonderful place to enjoy summer.
We're working more with Bob Gordon and I'm excited to learn more about their crop.
@@edibleacres that’s great. Mine dehydrated beautifully and I got about a quart of dehydrated berries per every three plants. They are only two years old.
This was a fun tour and I learned a bunch as always! Thanks for sharing Sean!
I wonder how he prevents animal/pest damage to his plants: especially those seedling beds.
There is a deer fence around that lower area, and he has a small 'flock' of barn cats that live in the area that he feeds and they hunt most of the rodents.
@@edibleacres Thanks
when it comes to smaller pests (bugs) I'd understand from his attitude that only those strong enough not to succumb to pests untreated are worth keeping
Thank you so much for this, Sean! I was hoping Akiva will post a tour video. I can't wait to watch this!🤗🤗🤗
What a great space! I would looooooove to add a couple dozen beehives to that landscape.
That would be a wonderful addition for sure. Reach out to Akiva :)
@@edibleacres If I lived a few hundred miles closer to your area, I would definitely do it! Akiva does definitely have the right kind of space for bees, and it would be VERY beneficial for both his land and the bees.

Akiva: 'It's not that many (plants)' - hearing that cracks me every single time. No matter how awful my day was, this makes it brighter.
Keep doing what you're doing and share these videos with us. Take care, you awesome people!💛
Man I was late to this party. This guy was great. I wish I saw this back when you uploaded or knew of his channel before that. The guy put into concise words exactly what I'm into, but fails to articulate lol
Plant some trees Y'aallll!
Dope, thanks for sharing.
You bet
6:53, is that persimmon maybe a seedling off something like a Nikita's Gift which is self fertile? Maybe this one can be called Akiva's gift?
It is a seedling from a block of great trees we have access to near where we live. Seedlings from Elwyn Meaders breeding work and tested to zone 4 hardiness. Neat parents to collect from.
Love the video. I will definitely be trying the mini swale on my land. I grow most of my plants in pots because I used to work in greenhouses and I’m familiar with growing that way. I will definitely get into growing bareroot more as it seems much more efficient.
So much less stress when plants are in soil.
No plastic tv
You should consider teaming up for a longs form class or seminar. I’d love to get the 2 of you in a room together for a weekend and just pick your brains.
That would be fun.
If i have a son i would like to name him Akiva, great name!
10 out of 10 chestnuts for this tour
So many interesting points here. I kept wondering how much of all those thousands of shrubs and trees were planted from seed or bare root or starts of some kind? Did he acquire or barter for the seed or just save over time from his own stock mostly?
Great walk and talk! Thanks 😊
A mix... He bought in stock from nurseries (Goumis as one example) but most/all the rest are grown from seed and cuttings from his nursery.
4:25 I'm pretty sure that's a Hawk moth of some kind. At first I thought it was a Hummingbird Hawk Moth but they're only found in Eurasia, as far as I'm a ware. My Google-fu says it's possibly a Nessus Sphinx Moth, the colours seem right.
That Space lotus that he talked about at the end is the one that I wanted to send you but it had sold out. It is one of the best cultivars and always sells out fast on every website. I can see the two of you trading tubers in the future
Edit: Ken's Dream Lotus, which you have, is that space lotus crossed with an american lotus
If this video is getting more attention, it’s because Roots & Refuge did a similar “swale pit” video.
love the pocket pond... Is it possible you can give a demo of how a person would go about creating a small pond?
Pop over to his channel and request it in some of the videos :)
I’d like to have some of those goumi
