Huge round of applause for having the YEAR LATER footage in the same video. Wow. Love your garden and your orchard! 💜🌿
Thank you! I do try to show historical content where possible 🙂👍
If you live in a colder climate only move trees when dormant (autumn through early spring, obviously when the ground isn't frozen). As a general "rule of thumb" avoid moving fruit trees that are more than 5 years old (for grafted cultivars, seed sprouts can be moved up to the age of 7). The dig-out radius must be at least half of the crown (canopy) radius and you need to go just as much in depth, also you can't cut any roots that are thicker or equal to the main branches.
I've had a lot of success with this. Mainly fig trees ad blueberries. I really pefer early spring so there is time for the roots to heal
Excellent to see the smaller tree as well as the 12 year old mulberry. Your progress is always inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Mark, you're an international treasure. Thanks so much for all of the gardening tips and procedures you send our way.👍👍👍
That's super nice of you to say/write. Thank you and all the best 👍🙂
Thanks so much Mark! I'm here in South Florida, USA, & have 3 key limes in dire need of repotting. 2 guavas, too. Your common sense gardening advice always makes me want to "Get into it!" 😀👍🌱🌿🌱🌿
Good on you Patricia! All the best with your repotting 👍🙂
You're a mind reader! Yesterday we discussed moving 3 orange trees as they're not thriving and today here we are. Thanks for thinking ahead haha!
I love watching this channel. It always brings me peace ❤
Transplanted the finger to the thumbs up button..
My part done.😊
My Meyer lemon tree is in a container, and did wonderful this last season. Fingers crossed for when I finally put it in the ground!
🤞🍋
I've found that pruning the foliage back by about 1/3 to 1/2 improves success rates when transplanting.
I have planted many fruits trees 🌳 in my yard thanks to you inspiring me to do so.
For those sensitive plants, you might could try air layering to make a stem grow roots. Cut that off and plant it, then you can get rid of the old one when it's established.
I love your channel!! I always learn so much. I wish you had a how-to book for all you have learned, like the back to basics books.
God bless you and your family! ❤
Thank you! Actually, I'm writing a book and it should be released early next year 👍🙂
I'm a little worried lol, I planted a bunch of fruit trees on my permaculture but the soil looked very very much, if not identical to the one you had and killed your tree. The only difference with me is I really covered the area of trees, fruit trees, bushes and plants so i'm hopeful that the root systems as well as the constant organic matter added to this area to attract organisms such as worms, would eventually make the drainage better. Well at least now I know there's an option if things turn bad in this area in a few years.
I love your videos! I just wanted to point out, because many people may not know this, citrus trees are dormant in summer. Plant and transplant accordingly.
Wouldn't that depend on the type of citrus? My Myers lemon was full of fruit over this last summer, the fruit is ripening now, fall months.
For deciduous trees in colder climates, wait til early spring, and watch for the first budding of leaves. At that time all the nutrients from the roots will have moved up to feed the new leaves, and you will lose less energy from root loss, and traumatized tree less. Doesn't apply of course in warmer climates where ground freeze is not going to happen.
4:59 Well, there's a cool tool I'd love to hear more about! Thank you, Mark, lots of great tips for caring for trees!
The good old battery powered secateurs. Makes pruning easy 🙂👍
@@Selfsufficientme Thank you Mark! Much appreciated. I'll be looking them up! Have a great day!
Moved a decade old Pear tree on my property. We did it in spring, but I was a little worried as it wasn't winter, but it is in it's second year and it's now covered in pears. Very happy, should be a good harvest this summer.
Thank you Mark, I didn't know exactly how I should move the fruit trees, that grown from seeds that I have thrown randomly in the garden after eating the initial fruits.
Thanks for the vid! Always enjoy your posts.
I just repotted my key lime tree bc it was dying. It did so well for 3 years now it is still alive with less leaves and it blooms very little and the blooms do not do well. It had some half grown limes on it that were not doing well.
I hope it recovers at least now it has a chance. I do not have a place for it in-ground so it just got a bigger pot with better dirt. Root ball stayed intact with old dirt on it. We pre-watered then drip watered all day.
Love your cumquat tree. ❤and the Mulberry.
Thanks for the vid, just wish we could transplant your knowledge directly to my brain with a big thumbs up at the end of each lesson.
Lol... 👍🙂
Just the advice I needed for my plum trees growing everywhere. Thank you!
Always love your videos, Mark. Easy to follow and very informative.
Wow! Perfect timing with this video!!! Our Center is located in Edgewater, FL and our garden is doing well largely to the content of your videos! That being said we have a small Key Lime and Meyers Lemon that are suffering for a few reasons. We also had a ton of rain over our summer and then it was discovered some clay was near the citrus trees🤦🏻♀️.. so we will take them out via your method and put into containers until a better location is found for them! Thanks for all your gardening, advice and entertainment! We truly appreciate all your video content! 🧘🏻♀️💗🦋🙏🏻
Absolutely love your energy!
Mark watching your videos is a delight, keep it up, and cheers for each and every one of them.
I absolutely love your property! Great job!
GREAT TO SEE YOU MY DEAR BRO , ALL THE BEST. TANK U.
I love ALL your fruit trees!!! So wish I didn't live in a cold climate when I see these. I love Pummelos! Kumquats are so good!
Very helpful information as always, thank you Mark!
great video as always. Love to move some of your practices into my homestead
Excellent as always Mark, best wishes to you and yours, from Britain 👍👍🇦🇺🇬🇧
My guy you really knows your stuff, this is so helpful..
You live in paradise!!
I have a dwarf lemon that produced some good sized lemons this year, but they never turned yellow. Looked it up and sounds like it's not getting enough sun where it is. I'm going to give this a go this weekend after the cool change comes through. I'll probably put it in a big pot I have and move it around for a while to find the best spot before I put it back in the ground.
go to the bathroom on it
Thank you for teaching us how to really gardening I enjoy watching u immensely ❤
Your informations are always top ! Thank you so much, i love your work and your gardening, beautiful place ❤🤩👍🙏
I love watching you work, it keeps you out of trouble! haha You have put in a lot of hard work and now reaping the benefits from it.
Cheers mark! Principles are similar to taking cuttings!
This is the first channel I’ve seen cover a topic on this issue.
Love the entire series, teasing myself, with a few acres on the horizon, as it were.
This is so helpful! Thanks Mark.
Wow! This is awesome. I was just thinking about this. I have several peach & avocado trees i started from seed that are in pots until I purchase my next home. I wondered what would happen if I was in the situation and had to move again? I would certainly not want to leave my babies behind😪
If you’ve don’t yet know the quality of the avocado fruit, you might consider purchasing grafted trees for replacement because avocado seeds are rarely true to the parent.
Thank you for sharing this! You are truly a big help and you are teaching me a lot.
Always timely! I have a couple I am getting ready to move because they are not getting enough sun due to overgrowth of surrounding trees. Thank you for the information!
Thank you for the entertaining and informative video 😊
I love it hen you do real garden videos!!
Thanks for the realistic video, of transplanting trees.
It gave me a good chuckle. 😂
I'll be moving a few trees around the yard next week, three have to be dug up but one will have to wait until winter because it's a cherry tree. Then two that are in large pots need to be moved into the ground. This video may be just what I need to find the motivation on the day, so will probably be back to watch it again.
Hi...... Mark love watching your video gardening vegetables and fruits bye
What a legend, thanks man!
I read a post from a nursery and one of the things they do is they cut around the roots a couple of times a year with a shovel to the size they want them to be at the next transplant. This keeps them from developing a few big roots and instead encourages lots of little roots. This help reduce transplant shock since you arent chopping through the few major root branches. Obviously you need to be able to know ahead of time that you will want to transplant in the future. I wonder if anyone else has used this technique.
I use loppers instead of a saw to cut any roots as i find it easier. Great info by the way! Love your channel.
Thanks Mark😊
This video came out at the perfect time, I have to move a Valencia orange tree. Strange that one of my Valencia orange trees has thorns and it's sister doesn't, the nursery said it was normal.
Great orange tree variety! If it is fruiting normally then I would guess thorns are a genetic glitch. Our Valencias don't have thorns but several other citrus we grow do 👍🙂
I'm living in a rental right now, and in the yard of this property is a huge cherry tree. Strong, healthy, wonderful canopy for the hot summers, great fruit production every year, handles the local windstorms like a champ, and never any problems with pests or disease. I hang my hammock from it, plus a tire swing that the neighborhood kids love, and every summer I get gallons and gallons of very tasty cherries from it to use in pies and other recipes.
Last summer a sapling from it got a good start in the vacant lot next door. Now that we're in the late fall here (northwestern United States), I've been wanting to dig it up and move it to a bag or planter so that when I get my own place in (hopefully) a couple years, I'll be able to take a descendant of this awesome tree along with me. So this is perfect timing on this video, thank you.
Thank you. I'm buying my first bear root apple tree this upcoming year.
Thanks for posting a video on my Birthday Mark!
Happy birthday! 🎉🙂👍
I love sweet kumquats. I have a young tree in my front yard in south Louisiana.
There's two random fruit trees growing in my veggie patch.
One looks like an apple and the other looks like a stone fruit.
They're about 12mo.
Thanks for the advice
I will wait for autumn.
Already have an idea where to put them.
Planning to get a couple bags of seedling mix for the feeder roots and some decent garden soil for the rest of the immediate substrate.
I'm thinking I might create a bit of a mound for each to sit atop.
Have a couple of little tree top hills 😂
👍👍👍
I actually need to move a mulberry tree!!! So this is incredibly timely
I have never killed à mulberry no matter how hard I tried. Love thecfruit but they are survivors.
Just discovered your post (30 useful tools) interesting video's
Awesome information friend 😊
Really interesting. Thank you
this was helpful thanks
Real good mark 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 💚
Good seeing you Mark. Nice to see your transplanted tree and that it is thriving. Thanks.
Just how do you shape or prune a mulberry? I'm a good pruner but my mulberry has most of it's branches starting almost at the base. It is and old tree. Thanks. Hello from a still dry Texas.
Mulberries are hardy so you can give them a good pruning without too much worries about hurting it 👍🙂
We’re planting a Mulberry tree next spring, along with 2 Elderberry trees.
Across the road and further down our mountain we have some neighbors who have a trashy driveway and always have junk laying around so we’ll be planting 3 Leland trees. Leland trees grow 6-10 feet per year for 10 years and are 6-8 feet wide. This way we’ll have an evergreen “fence” and by the time they’re grown the trees will be tall enough so we won’t be able to see their crap and with any luck they’ll grow tall enough so we won’t even be able to see the roof of their house. Our covered deck now looks at the top of their 2 story house, but if we look down, we can see their junk.
Looks like your bananas are growing well too! Great video as always 👍
Yeah, I'm very happy with the progress of our new banana varieties 👍🙂
wandered how i upset my Avocados , two i grew from seeds and had in big pots that i put in the garden. now i know thanks for that.
I also try to trim off any broken roots. I feel like it helps prevent fungus
We had to move macadamias during summer one year and sprayed the leaves with cheap white PVA painf to reducs transpiration
excellent ... mahalo .... I've got lots of fruit trees to get into the ground ...
Hi! Quick Question: When pruning before transplanting , what's the time between doing this? Surelythe cut branches need to heal first? Thanks! 😅
I'm sure there are certain trees that might benefit from waiting and it could depend on how severe the pruning is and if it's a big tree. But generally it's as I showed in the video 👍🙂
We moved our cumquat tree in winter. I was nervous it was going to die because it was starting to get pretty hot. It started to produce new foliage a couple weeks ago
Cheers!
Oops, looks like a trip to the hardware for a new spade handle. 👍
cool! i wanna do the same for fig tree!
G;day Mark. You should possibly consider doing a video on "Tool Maintenance and Correct Usage"! Tools maybe expendable to Megastar You Tubers, but for everyday people they are expensive requirements in achieving successful produce. Proper, dedicated tool usage will also make any gardening job easier and prolong any tool's usefulness! Using a shovel - a tool principally designed to lift and move "stuff"- to "dig" a plant out was lazy gardening, as you then readily accessed the correct tool for your job! You do have over 2 million subs for a good reason- you "connect" to everyday and experienced gardeners extremely well. Many of us are very familiar with correct tool protocols, but many look to you for some guidance on such matters! Cheers . 💪🍀🙂
baru ini saya melihat pohon murbei besar di pindah tanam kan 😊😊, kerja bagus mark 👍👍👍
Excellent information i did move a few times and i lost my avocado tree
Thanks 🙏
I Transplanted my Finger over the like button and I've been subscribed since April 2022
Hey mark I'm so glad I found your channel and after watching your video on moving fruit trees your video was sibbler to the problem I'm having with my peach tree my ? Is when can I move it my tree has only been in the ground for a year now but I can see it's dyeing my fruits are whizzing up and all my leaves are turning yellow mark please help me
Good day neighbour . how much would you recommend to prune it back
30 percent
Great video. I need to repot a monstera. It has roots that have grown up and over the lip of the pot and now trailing on the ground. I don't know if I should bury it or cut it.
If it's possible to bury all the roots during transplantation then I would do that. If not, trim them 👍🙂
Permaculture originated in Australia.:)
Awesome video! Thanks Mark.
Do you mean “transpiration”?
That is correct 👍🙂
Do you have a video where you show the main tools you use, as in essential tools for your gardening? If yes, please let me know, thanks
I'll make one - great idea for a video! 👍🙂
Thank you mark as I did have to replant a avo tree and it died , and now I understand completely why shit happened,
Mulberry trees are considered weed trees here in the northeastern U.S.
Hey Mark , i live in Buderim , so not far from you . I have a Mulberry tree that has sopped producing fruit for a few years
so what do you reckon the problem is ? Love your channel
👍
That is unusual... It might need a feed or some trace elements. Maybe a good pruning could help also 🙂👍
Mark do you ever sell the extra fruits and vegetables or do you can all?? I got hungry for a orange when I seen the basket. 😊👩🏻🌾
We don't sell garden produce but we do give plenty away and preserve excess 👍🙂
@@Selfsufficientme Well you have a beautiful garden. I’m from Illinois in the US. and some of the stuff you grow I’ve don’t think I’ve heard of. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks 😊 ☮️👩🏻🌾
I didn’t know Russell Crowe had a gardening channel 🤔. That’s so cool.
Lol... 👍
@@Selfsufficientme Just kidding. I love your channel man. Cheers from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, USA 😎✌️
❤
A note to keep in mind if the fruit tree in question is in the apple genus: Apples *do not like to be moved.* Like, *at all.* Even starting them in one container, and transplanting them into a larger one as it gets more mature, it doesn't like that. It won't affect any of the usual things you look for in tree health-like how many leaves die off, or root development, or whatever-but an apple tree that's been moved from where it started its life, will always reach a noticeably smaller maximum size than one that's allowed to spend its entire life right where it sprouted. So if you want to plant an apple tree and have it reach its maximum potential size, think *very carefully* about where you plant it, because it's going to have to stay there permanently.
You disappeared off my subscribed list, just added you again
Hey Mark, Do you have a Atherton raspberry? If so would love a video on it.
Yes I do have one. I'm gathering more information about growing and using it. Once I have it all together I'll make a video 👍🙂
Ooo awesome, i just got me one and have no idea so thank you 🙏🏻
Sounds like your roots go deep! Now we know why you’ve got a green thumb.
