I lived on the street as a child. At night.I hopped fences just to eat from people gardens. I got caught. That guy seen I was eating not stealing. He made me come back day after day to his orchard. He made me work the land. I ended up leaning never to go hungry again.
That’s an incredible story. Thank you for sharing
❤️🙏🏼
A great teacher you were led by and now have become, I'm quite sure. Thank you for sharing your story.
🙏❤💪
@Dana Cassidy Well, the man was kind enough to have sympathy for the boy. Unlike you.
This is how EVERY home should be!
Thank you
I have been gardening for almost seven years and have been reading and researching for much longer. I learned more from this video about pruning a new fruit tree than every other book and video I have watched before. Thank You!
Wow, thank you! I’m so glad you found this so helpful!
My husband doesn't understand English. Every time you cut a branch, he screams but it's funny, so I won't translate for a while! (smile)
This is hands down the best video I’ve watched on pruning! You explain everything so well! I feel like I actually understand WHY I’m cutting it a certain way rather than just following instructions
Thank you! I’m glad you found it so helpful!
Agreed!
This is the first fruit tree pruning video I've watched that has mentioned looking for the direction of the bud before cutting and really thinking about canopy height. Good stuff.
I’m so glad you found it helpful!
I live in the Southern Hemisphere, l have struggled to find a good video on pruning etc. Our climate where l live here in New Zealand is similar to yours, so I just have to reverse the months of the year to follow your directions. We recently purchased an off the grid block of land with a new orchard. We have Blood red and Navel oranges, and mandarins. Unfortunately the neighbours Wagyu cattle got through and destroyed most of our orchard, ( we have had a new boundary fence put in and blocked the passage through our adjoining creek). so I am now nursing the young trees that have survived.
It is spring here and the young trees are full of bud and new shoots. I have been worried about pruning them and shaping the new growth, but you have been very informative, and l feel encouraged to do the necessary deed if l want the best for these trees. Thank you.
Some of our other new neighbours are giving me cuttings off their heritage fruit trees, pear, apple, nectarines, plum, apple, fig, grape vines, bananas, pineapples etc. l have also planted pomegranates, Feijoas, Tamarillo, passion fruit, thornless blackberry, raspberries and blueberries.
Plus I planted the beginnings of a vegetable garden. I can’t wait until we start reaping the benefits of my hard work. People like you are a valuable source of information and encouragement. Thanks again.
I knew a retired gardener with his own small backyard orchard. He had a 4 step very safe podium ladder. The mature trees were not allowed to grow higher than he could reach from his ladder. It made great sense to me.
Make sure not to plant trees over your sewer line.
Yep, it’s nice to be able to manage trees to the size that works best for us.
Semi-dwarf is usual for backyard homes!!@@urbanfarmstead
Great video. I watched hours of youtube videos before pruning my existing trees and planting new ones. This video alone would have sufficed.
Thank you so much! That was my goal, and I hope more people in your situation will find it helpful as well. Thank you for sharing this feedback.
Just discovered you. Really good video. I have pruning videos and it's incredible how much our methods align. One thing I'd like to add about the paint - another great option is a lime whitewash - much better for the environment and soil if any gets washed into it. Also you mentioned that you aren't worried as much about the winter sun, and that's because of where you are. However, way up here in Zone 4 it's precisely the winter sun that is of concern and why we also whitewash trees. The winter sun warms the trunk up and it expands. Then the cold night temps come and it contracts. This swell/shrink cycle can split bark and lead to gummosis. Peaches are especially vulnerable to this. So for those of you who are in colder climates and think "I don't need to protect my trunk from the sun", you really should. Great video, excited to watch this grow.
You should consider turning that area into a food forest. You can check out my food forest, it's pretty awesome. Basically it would entail adding the 6 other layers of a forest into the planting. Then again, your space is a little more urban (hence the channel) and a wilder look may not be desired. If it were me though, I'd cram the interspaces with bushes, flowers, groundcovers and turn that orchard into an ecosystem.
Kyle, you NAILED this video, bud. I would recommend this video to anyone wanting to get started with backyard fruit trees. Clearly communicated content, attention to detail, pruning decisions on point. Well done!
Thank you so much Cameron! That means a lot coming from an experienced home orchard dude like yourself!
I hate you guys!! Your in California nice warm climate most of the year, Cameron favorite trees are citrus not good for my area, zone 6a in Kansas, but soon I have to start doing regular pruning and I will be referring to your videos alot thank you guys
@@urbanfarmstead we lived in New Jersey in Perth Amboy. And we had a big yard. My mom’s Portuguese’s friend was a good gardener. He planted a fig tree. To winterize it he wrapped in burlap and dug a trench and buried under leaves inside the trench and soil. In spring he would dig it out. And tie support on opposite sides so that it would grow straight. He did the same thing with peach tree. After the trees were thick enough he would just wrap it up with thick burlap and leaves. It never died during the winter.
@@gladtidings4all awesome! Thanks for sharing
That presentation on how to prune and where to prune was freaking awesome and simple to understand. Thank you for sharing bud.
All the way from South Africa.
Thank you! I’m so glad you found it helpful!
Agree 100%. Also, nice pun... I seed what you did there.
I love how tidy and organized this garden bed turned out.
Thank you
I just move in my new home and new yard, I grew up with kitchen gardens and flowers garden , now I will start my own. I found your video it reminded me of how my dad did his garden especially the white wash , watching you will help me start my garden, keep it up. Thank you!!!
Awesome! Thank you
Great overview. Quality edits and voice over.
I’m leaving a comment for algorithm, it hates long videos like this and this is such a nice one for the gardening side of youtube.
Thank you so much!
Great video
My dream way of living again,the way I grew up in Jamaica..living in the UK we have a some window to garden but this year I got raspberry and blueberry next year I'm gonna get some dwarf fruit trees...but in containers
That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing
Great video! Fun fact I cannot but post: I realized the dream of literally year round fruits ready for harvest in my garden by planting one (1!) single tree: My Jamaican cherry produces less in Jan and Feb, but even now I can pluck some sweet additons for muesli or for flavored teas. So wonderful to go out each morning, breathe some fresh air, stretch and bend while plucking and collecting fruits. Such a blessing! Keep up your motivation and disciplined work and your harvest will be totally worth it! And in the meantime I will learn from you for my other fruit trees to come...
Amazing!
I’ve been watching video after video for weeks now trying to learn how to make the first cuts to my peach tree. Your explanation, demonstration, and reasonings made so much more sense to me. Now I feel eager to finally help my overgrown peach tree instead of dreading making a mistake. Thank you! I’ll be watching your entire playlist on this!
I can't believe how much I learned in 20 min. Great video, thank you so much.
That’s awesome! Thanks!
This was probably the most informative tree pruning video I've seen. Thanks so much!
Thank you!
I transformed my front yard into an mix use permaculture garden last year. Best decision I ever made.
That sounds awesome!
I love how truck rises during unloading
🙌🏼
Hi, I’m a lifelong gardener from Minnesota, now living on an acre in Santa Barbara, California. We do have mature fruit trees on the property, but I plan to add more. I’ve just been so overwhelmed by the four season gardening here. Your videos have been so very helpful. Thank you!
Hi! An acre in Santa Barbara sounds awesome! Thank you! Happy gardening!
Oh you lucky girl! I lived there in the 70’s and always regretted moving away.
Do you get enough cold days for all fruit trees?
@@mattiasdahlstrom2024 Low Chill trees grow in California
Seeing the latest video all of these trees giving great fruits is so wonderful 😊
Omg the fact you're from Sac too is amazing. Wife and I met in college there and now we are in Texas working on starting out own gardens/orchards!
Loved your video! Can't wait to see the progress!!!
thank you!
Just planted the beginnings of my food forest in FL 9b! I’m excited to see how my multigrafted fruit trees do. So so happy to find your channel. I’m fascinated by how much knowledge you have. What a gift to us!! Thank you for deciding to share your journey.
And you’re back!!
Awesome 👏🏽 excited to see the transformation!
Thank you!
Glad you're back. Another great video, cheers!!!
Thanks! I wish I had the time to create more! Once I finished larger projects like this I’m hoping to creat 2-4 videos a month.
So glad you’re back! I’m a first time gardener and learned a lot from your video tutorials; so on point. Please keep teaching
Thank you! I certainly will!
I like how organized your layout is. Good idea planning out the harvest times for each tree. You are certain to have something delicious for the entire summer and autumn.
Thank you
I share this dream and the JOY. Just cleared crazy town in my yard and ready to create the food forest. I'm in PNW 8B. THANK YOU!
Great! Happy gardening
Absolutely wonderful. Love it.

Kyle this was the most informative video for planting and most of all pruning. Hope you will have a follow up video spring 2023. Happy New Year.
Thank you for sharing this! I am super inspired and hopefully will have my own backyard fruit trees :)
100k any minute now. congratulations!!! I love your videos! Very informative and practical!
thank you!
This was the exact video that I needed to watch to answer all my tree questions. I'm going to try the spacer trick on a tree that is growing very narrow that i want to branch out. Currently looking at what/ how to plant a fruit tree! Great video, learned a ton!! Good luck with the orchard.
Awesome, thanks! Toothpicks also work well as spacers.
I have the same sort of project going... Year 2 of planting, 2 Paw Paws, 1 Nikita's Gift Persimmon, Plumcot, Necterine, 3 Varieties of Pomegranate, already have Apple, Cherry, Mulberry, Pear, Mulberry, Apple, Mulberry, Grape, Mulberry, Grape, and Wine Grapes planted xD
Plus have a bunch of berry bushes in pots, Raspberry, Blackberry, Goji berry, Kiwis, blueberry, figs, Strawberries too in the greenhouse.
Plus indoor overwintering plants... Peppers, and Eggplant, but also Papaya Pineapple Red Kiwi and Herbs.
Great video! I learned all sorts of things I didn’t know. I had just watched your videos on setting up your veggie garden. I have subscribed to see where you put that now.
Thank you! I’ll be building raised beds soon and will share that process
I've come back to this video time and time again. I love how educational this is, and what a treat to see how all the trees came out a year and a half later. Thank you!
Thanks for a great video! Not too complicated, not too lengthy, and enjoyable to watch. It was very educational and taught me, a person completely new to gardening, a lot of valuable tips for planting trees. Looking forward to seeing how your orchard succeeds in future videos!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
This was an amazing video. So informative and so thoughtfully put together. Happy New Subscriber!
So nice to watch you pruning 😊 I use to work as a fruit tree pruner in Sweden.
Thank you. That’s awesome
Awesome video, Kyle! Over the past 1.5 year, I’ve planted a nectarine tree, 2 lemon trees, a bunch of tomato plants, and pea sprouts. Enjoying it and still learning!
Thank you so much for such an informational video. My husband and I are in the process of starting our own little hobby homestead and this is so helpful.
Thanks! its my pleasure to share!
Excellent video and excellent content! Congratulations and thank you for sharing! All the best to you
Thank you so much!
I really love your videos, you encourage me on going forward with my dream in having fruit trees farm. I started buying fruit trees one by one..now I have 4 fruit trees. I see you start your orchard with 12 trees ,that really make me feel that I'm doing the right thing. Thank you very much.
Great video! I want to plant a few fruit trees next spring. Please continue to document the progress of these trees, I need all the info I can get. Thanks!
Thank you! I certainly will 👍🏼
Recently found your channel. Great content. Informative, helpful and clear. Looking forward to following.
Awesome! Thank you
So great to have found your channel. I love what you are doing with your gardens. I live just north of you in Southern Oregon. I am finally going to be able to get out and do video interviews again with some great gardeners and youtubers and would love to see what you have growing on there, I think that our audience would love to see your garden.
Hi, thank you! Yeah that would be fun. I probably won’t have available this summer, but possibly the following summer
It looks wonderful! Good to see you again!
Thank you
This was INCREDIBLE!
Thank you so much for opening my mind to a new, simple, beautiful orchard idea.
My heart was touched by this video. Valuable information that you crafted into this well shot edited story.
The information about pruning & irrigation I found exceptionally helpful as a homesteader growing similarly.
Thanks again for expanding my mind & garden potential! Will absolutely be recommending this to friends.
Thank you so much Nicole! I really appreciate your feedback and support!
Can't wait to see this area in the fall. I wish I could do this in my yard.
Thank you
I found your video a few weeks ago. I am planning to get fruit trees in a week or two, and I have watched this video repeatedly. I want my grandchildren to have access to their favorite fruits
Thank you! That’s a fantastic idea
Very thorough and clear instructions. Thank You!
Thank you
What a wealth of knowledge and such a clear detailed video. Excellent sir, you have a new subscriber!
Thank you so much!
Man what a great space. Can't wait to do something similar over in Arden Park
Thank you! I’ve seen some beautiful big lots over there in Arden Park.
Great pruning tutorial. I think I’m finally getting it! Thank you!
Thanks! I’m happy to share what I e learned
@12:05 Brilliant! Never considered the direction of the graft union when planting trees. Thank you for the tip! 👩🌾 🌱🙏
Thanks! I’m happy to share!
Just stumbled upon your channel here and found your video to be quite informative especially for soil prep and pruning. Straight to the point and very nicely done. So new subbie here.
Hi, thank you so much!
Wow, so informative, what a fantastic video, makes me wanting to grow a lot of fruit trees in my backyard.
Thank you so much!
Yeah. The spacing really impressed me too. I wonder if all fruit trees can be spaced and pruned this way. Like the Mango & Sapote varieties.
Pete :")
This looks awesome! Love how you maximized the space!
Thank you
Great education on trees. Getting mine going this year !
I don't have the space for an orchard in my backyard, but might still include 1 or 2 fruit trees. This is one of the most informational and straightforward videos I've seen, you've definitely earned a new subscriber!
Thank you! Best of luck with your trees
What a great property. I love your house...You're going to have quite the paradise there.
Thank you
@@urbanfarmstead your backyard really is beautiful. wish I had a father like you. going to do this for my kids one day.
Thank you so much for sharing this invaluable information. I started a Permaculture food forest here in subtropical Australia and have been researching how to prune my fruit trees to keep them small so I can harvest the fruit without climbing on a ladder. I have subscribed and I am looking forward to see all your videos regarding pruning your trees. Thank you again this user friendly video...
Getting ready to plant my own orchard- this was super informative and helpful! Thank you!
Thank you! Happy to share
What an informative video, I am definitely subbing. This is the best fruit tree planting advice I've found -- all info, no fluff. I'm super lucky that you're in my area too! Good luck with your garden, may it produce for generations.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and greatly appreciate your feedback!
@@urbanfarmstead Wow, you even replied to my comment. You've got youtube figured out, my man, that made my day. ✋

Finally, a gardening channel near my town. I live here in Vacaville, so we have a similar climate! I am pretty excited to have found your channel. I am starting to plant fruit trees but my backyard is not huge! I often wondered about spacing. I bought my fruit trees online. I wish I found you before I did! Anyway, it is not too late since I learned a lot about planting, pruning, and painting on this video! Will keep on watching to learn more! Thank you so much for a great content. I learned a ton!
Hi! Thank you so much! Yes, I know how nice it is to have a good local resource
Vacaville……cowville?…..funny 😁🙋♂️
I lived in a house in Davis which had 2 bing cherry trees, a pear and a fabulous mature grapefruit tree. Heavenly. This fellow needs some citrus, then his plot will be perfect.
Hi! Beautiful far
Hi! Beautiful farmstead. Love seeing you plant the persimmons. Wish theyll grow well. I love them but I live in Asia and not suitable for planting persimmons. - MALAYSIA 😀
Great video, you are doing everything right. Keep it up !! What a great way to utilize small space.
Thank you Dale!
Wow, I have never had it explained so perfectly that I can change were the branching beginnings.

Thank you, yes, I know it can be quite intimidating, especially in the beginning. I’m glad I was able to demystify it a bit for you. You’ve got this!
Useless if you live in zone 4 for varieties chosen . GM
We just transplanted our drawf fruit trees. We absolutely love the step by step instructions it was very helpful thank you.🤗🍒🍋🍏🍑🍊🍎
Thank you
You made it look so easy, just starting out in New Zealand. Thank you.
Thanks! It definitely gets easier over time.
