Trees they lift in time pavement,walls;can dislocate a wall from house;but the roots being stuck into a cylinder shape in the ground,without any obstacle….that's odd!!
I planted my trees about 2 months ago they are leafing now. But I found out that I put them too deep should take them out and replant or there is another fix?
New subscriber here, thanks for the great video. very helpful.
If you want privacy and a wind block, you should use evergreen trees…
What is the spacing for the 4 Apple tree box
Why not spray the roots with water to loosen the roots? Outside of the planting area.
I would kill for that soil.
The for vid! Planting today:)
I bought a new apple tree (dwarf) and put it in a lovely new pot but it’s not getting any leaves or anything yet should I prune it to help with shock or just wait a bit longer (love your videos)
I've learned to buy as many of my trees as Bare Root as I can.
i'm growing dwarf fruittrees and bombined them with strawberries after 1 year is that ok ?
Hi bud, do you have any resources for how to find this info?
I live in Australia in a zone 10b kind of area, and I believe stone fruit need to see enough cold weather to fruit?
He didn't mention spacing, did he? Trying to figure just how close I can plant apple trees.
Love all the information in these videos! A few questions, if anyone can help answer: Will tightly wound roots such as the ones shown eventually be able to spread out if the hole is made with "spokes" or dug in a square shape? And how much effort should I put into loosening the compacted root system? And is there a correct way of doing so as to not damage the plant? Thank you in advance!
EAK! Noo, adding compost will only suffocate existing root system resulting in adventitious stem girdling roots crossing in all directions above ground.
Pulling mulch back away from trunk is only half of the answer. As stem girdling Roots produced by compost ring will be lying in wait farther outward as trunk gets wider.
As arborist we learn. First mandatory planting step is to prune back all the outer pot-bound circling roots and to excavate top of root ball surface back to trees original birth grade.
Especially since 100% of Nursery trees arrive with trunks already too deep in rootball. Requiring trunk flair excavation removing sometimes as much as 10 inch of soil.
The fact is root flare excavation should happen in Nursery before excavating from field. And outdated up potting method results in workers planting whips deeper and deeper.
Best option is to turn back into a bare-root planting. Just like guy wires holding up a radio stations tower antenna.
In conclusion flat mulching is where it's at. Always remember to remove some of old mulch before putting down new. Because decomposing mounds of mulch turns into added soil grade.
Excellent informative video!

Is there a cartoon dinosaur on screen or is that just me.
When is the best time of year to plant a fruit tree?
Digging a square hole will do the same thing as spoking.
Can you do a video on pruning fruit trees
why is there just a random elk/moose thing
Should I wrap the white cloth around the trunk of my young trees to prevent sunburn or from getting to hot, I am in the tidewater Virginia area.
Where did you get your fruit tree from?
Thanks
