Would this apply to citrus trees as well? I assume yes since they produce fruit, but figured I'd ask anyways. Going to be getting a Clementine tree here in a week or two.
these videos are very helpful thank you for putting them up
I spent the last year as an arbourist learning about proper pruning techniques. So .. I was wondering. Why didn't you do Collar cuts on the top leader you pruned? You left 3 inches of that top lead. Which is going to make it hard for the tree to heal the wound you left by leaving that stub.
Pruning starts at the 4:40
I enjoy watching your videos. it would be nice if they were edited a little better so things weren't unnecessarily repeated though. I'm sure this video could have been 3-4 minutes long while still providing the same useful info.
What do you think of growing yourself a hardy paw paw tree?
enjoyed your video
I got a vertical garden for strawberries. I don't have normal soil, so would it be okay to plant them in cactus soil?
Very nice video 🙂
Did the formula on Trifecta+ change? I see on your website it's 5-10-4 but it used to be a 10-13-12 or so.
Newly planted trees shouldn't be pruned.
not sure if i learned anything from this, cut here cut there video.. we are cutting above bud that is facing outside of tree in correct angle, or prune back to trunk or scaffold branch… as per my knowledge if you root your cutting you wont get the same tree as it wont be on same rootstock as the one you took cuttings from.
Hey!
I recently planted two apple trees and a plum tree (yesterday). The trees have green leaves on them. Should I prune them right now or wait until fall when they go dormant?
I just plant the fruit trees last weekend ,and they already have some flowers ,is that still ok to cut them? or should i wait until next year? I am so stressful about where to cut,( I've been fighting about it for couple days now)may i sent you a picture about one of my tree ,could you take a look?
My newly bought peach and nectarine trees already have flowers on them. Do I just wait until fall to do anything to them? The peach tree is loaded with flowers so do I need to groom them off before they turn to fruit? Or will they even bare fruit this year? I don’t want the weight of the fruit to break the branches if they do. Gahhhhhh.
Its April 4 2019 here in Texas zone 8b. My new fruit trees have new leaves all up and down the branches. Too late in the spring to prune I guess??
Thanks for the video but WAAAAAAY too much talking….
How do you handle bugs, moles/underground invaders naturally and effectively?
Thank you!
Just found this video 3 years later. I have 2 apricot saplings that I will try pruning this winter. Thanks for the information.
we just planted 2 apple trees with friut on them its july zone 7.should we wait till next early spring to prune them?
I planted an apple seed and it’s grown almost 8 inches, do I need to prune or trim it? I don’t want it to die or not grow properly
Wonderful Info. thanks. Struggled to understand you once or twice because you were going so fast. We're a bit slow over here in Scotland!
Thankyou
is there any topic about plants that you don't have a video on? LOL
I just planted 2 plum & 2 cherry trees 1 week ago. They are 6 foot and have strong leaves already. They need to be shaped / trimmed – pruned. I'm getting conflicting reports on waiting till next year to do this vs doing it immediately. I'd prefer to do it now.
