Thank you 🕊️
Great video. I need to be more aggressive in my pruning. Thanks. What a great team.
Thanks. I have grown rhubarb forever but I have never really seen the root as I have bought plants or started with seeds. I learned a lot. Thanks Laura!
No bite of fresh quinc on camerae?!? Heresy!!!
The fruit shape looks like what was sold 30 years ago as Aromatnaya. More recent Aromatnaya have the pear neck you speak of.
I found these in new jersey!
oooh please talk to me about disease resistance?
Quince do get diseases, resistance is not immunity, just not as readily as other plants will in the same regions.
Most quince are very susceptible to fire blight and rust. So if Fire Blight on apples/pears or Cedar Apple Rust are a problem where you live you'll probably have those same problems with a quince tree. There haven't been the extensive breeding programs with quince like their has with apples/pears to reduce disease susceptibility (or scab immunity with apples) because they're not commercially important in the US. I'm on the east coast US and still going to try growing one though. A spray for rust/scab a couple times a year isn't a problem for me.
Very nice video! Is it native bush cultivar...?
Quince is the only member of the genus Cydonia and is native to Iran, Turkey, and possibly Greece and the Crimean Peninsula. Chaenomeles speciosa, the "flowering quince", is a different plant that is native to eastern Asia.
@@RaintreeNursery Cydonia oblonga native maxi bush 106 years old in Slovakia.... czcams.com/video/lrhIMM-dY3g/video.htmlsi=LzhFQ-BURG2xgflG
Are they disease resistant
Quince do get diseases, resistance is not immunity, just not as readily as other plants will in the same regions.
Been growing them for 30 years in WI. They are mostly disease free but are susceptible to fireblight if you have a source nearby and somewhat to brown rot in hot humid years.
Thanks for the reply. I'm in north Florida close to gainesville, which is the most humid place in America. So I'm not sure it would be a good option here
Ugh when I purchsed the house I inherited this kind of apple tree in my front yard dropping apples at my door! I use a nut catcher to pick them up other wise I have vinegar and smashed apples to slog through mowing. Squirls eat 1/2 of 40% of the apples leaving a mess...worms get the remaining fruit. Tried to offer to others to pick to make fruit pies...even donate to horse rescues...NO ONE WANTS THEM including me! I made pies a couple of year but it's super tedious to cut them up and I don't need the sugar!
Should they be stored in a bag while they’re in a crisper?
I love ❤ Golden kiwi 🥝 I can eat 4 packs of these kiwi so beautiful
Finally! Someone can do a video with passion and without stammering or stumbling all over their words or smacking whenever they start a sentence! Great informative video!
Makes me even more glad to have bought one last year. Looking forward to getting fruit in a few years.
Can you grow custard apple as espalier tree, please?
Asian pears in the store are all water and crunch but no flavor...what's a great tasting intricate AP
If the ones in the store aren't lightly sweet then you're eating unripe ones. Chojuro is butterscotchy. Some other varieties have a rum flavor. If juicy, crunchy, mild pear-flavored, and lightly sweet isn't something you're interested in you probably aren't interested in Asian pears.
Thanks for these great fruit features! Adding this one to my wishlist 🙂 When does it ripen?
About 2-4 weeks after Bartlett or ~3/4ths the way through pear season. Depends where you are and the weather that year as to when.
Can’t harvest them so ripped.. the birds get them all sooner 😅
Did you say Bartlet tree is self pollinating and does not need another variety? Please confirm. I have bought two Bartlet variety tree and was wondering I should buy another tree of different kind
Bartlett is partially self fertile in some regions. If you want to ensure success you will do well with another additionally variety, a mid season bloomer is best.
Smart man
Your hot weather video- is fabulous, informative and I appreciate Laura’s presentation! Thank you.
Would you have any advice for me growing from seed? I ordered seed online and it should be here soon. I started a few goji from seed and so far so good.
She sounds like that lady's Arni's head from the Total Recall - 'Get Ready For A Surprise!'
Thank you for this informative video. I have a tree in my yard that has been maturing and this year it is quite full of nuts and now I’m really excited to harvest them!
Thanks Laura for a lovely video. I’m about to embark on growing espalier fruit trees for the first time and just needed exactly the advice you provided. Greetings from the village of Roslin in Midlothian, Scotland. 😀👍🏻
i got 2 paw paws at market in charlotte nc. Not knowing what i was doing planted in full sun and year 3 here they are 7 feet tall and full of leaves. No fruit yet though
Why not just snip the stems?
I want current berry plant it's possible
I now want to have medlars 😂
This is the best slope planting video I have seen this morning as I prepare to plant Emerald Greens on the sloped side of our home. Now, I am off to find rocks around the property. Thank you!!
You're the cutest!
No need to speak to us as you would to kindergarteners 😉
She makes me feel hopeful. But, even though I am 76, suffered brain damage at 14. I really like how she talks. Even though my IQ is suppose to be high, I feel really dumb sometimes. Especially when planting plants. So, if you don't mind, I am hoping she keeps talking this way. Thank you for listening.
She talks fine. But, I suffered brain damage when I was 14. I am really challenged when planting. She helps me feel hopeful. If you don't mind, I would like her to keep talking this way. Thank you for listening.
i just purchased your Raintree select aronia berry. The berry size looks to be larger than viking. I would like to get the Raintree select goumi but they sell out so fast .
You are a good teacher you explained it clearly and easy to understand. Your nursery offered quality plants/fruit trees and vines. Live in zone 5b and I ordered in your nursery before a cherry tree and grapevine. It grew so very beautiful but the following year died. It made me sad, maybe my grapevine died because of too cold I planted it in a big barrel. My cherry has no idea why it died when the 1st year it grows beautifully.
Thank you. This is what I wish I had known when I moved from zone 3 to zone 5. I didn't know so much that made for unsuccessful gardens. ❤❤❤
What do you do with all the leftovers and how do the seeds not go through those holes?
Is Akane a grafted tree?
Since you were pruning for a central leader, I wondered were these apple/ Pear trees? Would you Prune stone fruit with an open center style. I'm new and trying to learn. Thanks for your videos!
Open center pruning for stone fruit is appropriate for commercial applications where reducing labor and maximizing fruit yields are the goal. Open center trees do not establish as quickly or live as long as trees with central leaders.
@RaintreeNursery Thank you for sharing that info. I've never heard that before. BTW - I live on the border of north Florida where it is extremely hot and humid. Would that make a difference?
Great tips cheers
Like #10. Thank you.
Wonderfully helpful and inspiring! And sweet, sweet kitty, too. Thank you!
Got it. Similar to grape...
Thankyou❤
the best video on kiwi pruning
Posted 8 days ago cause it’s winter pruning time haha
What type do you recommend for southern california
Yes or no can you eat the wild berries in woods that are purple???
I've got plants coming. Can I plant right away, even though it's early summer?
Potentially yes. If temperatures are 75 degrees or lower you will be fine. If not, you will need to plan to water extra frequently through the summer.
I love plums
In seriously considering landscaping with espalier'd fruit trees. I appreciate this video! Very helpful!
Thanks for the info, I inherited my grandparents place with 12 acres and approx 450 pear trees, beautiful trees, panted in 1990, all the vines and thorn bushes have to go, can you top the tall trees this winter when I prune them
