- Do you know the difference between a good sucker and bad sucker in your orchard? This video will give you an easy, straight forward lesson on what to remove vs leave.
But, again .to make sure you said only on GRAFTED FRUIT TREES REMOVE ALL SUCKERS. My natural lemon tree ,suckers are not bad? Cause it's coming back from a long root shock from transplanting to a bigger pot. Great advice 👍 thank you
Cool video. I am somewhat familiar with suckering as I have encountered a few times in my home orchard *but* I was not aware that the root stock could send up suckers 3, 4 or 5 feet away from the tree. Suckers like that would probably be moved over by my John Deere mower but I will keep an eye out for them going forward.
Is there ever a time you should leave a sucker on, on grafted trees where the sucker is above the graft site? Say on a young Anna or Dorsett Golden apple in the Phoenix area, where most of the leaves on the main trunk are browning due to transplant shock combined with unseasonably high temperatures? Could you leave them for a while to help the tree recover, by allowing it to have more healthy leaves for photosynthesis?
We have numerous volunteer fruit trees in our yard including a couple of now-mature apple trees that bear beautiful fruit. So--not all apple trees are grafted.
Hi great video wondering if you could give me some advice I planted my 2 year old blueberry bush 6 weeks ago and I’ve noticed there’s 3 tiny suckers just appeared….. now the bush is only small so what should I do with the suckers thanks
I have an orange tree that froze with a sudden deep freeze. I thought it was a goner but suckers started to come out. Since the root stock is the only thing alive, whenever it does fruit again it won't be the same fruit it had before?
Tell me a confusion that's what about water Sprout growing upper sight between the others fruits branches should i remove it or it is good may be
Would rootstock suckers on a mini dwarf apple tree have any value as a pollinator for the main tree ? being being as the root stock would be a different variety one would think that would be viable
Hello, I have a young orange tree that is grafted. The grafting scar is clear and right above it, there are some young sproutings that look just like the top growth, but they are the the very bottom of the tree. The are about 1 meter under where the top growth starts. Should I remove them even tho they are orange sproutings?
It depends on the growth habit you desire. Leave them if you want more of a bush and cut them if you want more of a typical tree shape. But make sure they are from above the graft.
If I started an avocado from a seed (that I purchased from my local produce), and it developed a sucker, that should still be fine, right?
That doesn't work very well. Almost all desirable avocado trees you will purchase at the nursery will have grafted root stock. What you will eventually get may not even produce fruit or if it does it will now be of good quality. Grafting is done for a reason and there are plenty of places on the internet that will echo what I have told you.
@@rrrogster That's fine. There is no nursery or greenhouse that sells avocado trees in any form in South Korea, so I guess it's grow every single seed and invest in it until you get a decent fruit, otherwise it's just "keep buying them at the store" no matter the ingenuity and innovation put into a geothermal year-round greenhouse.
@@theoriginalmikecary I'm not an expert.on this but I think it should be fine bcuz the growth from the seed would all be the original tree vs a graft which is in most cases 2 parts of 2 different trees. The rootstock and the graft the wanted cultivar. I know many ppl are of the opinion that grafted plants in all instances produce healthier and more productive fruits. However nature has been doin good this for loooong on its own without us. You could sprout several seeds and use those as rootstock if you were able to get cuttings online or from someone's tree.i think they say you may get faster production this way. Hope that helps. 🌱Happy growing.
@@theoriginalmikecary If it's from seed, suckers are fine, if it's grafted then no.
In your case it's fine. Ster is wrong and right at the same time, your tree will fruit, so he is wrong, but could take many years. You can speed this up with good watering, fertilizing and growing in as close to optimal conditions as you can.
Also, try and grow 5-10 trees, most might give you a meh fruit, but you might just find the next big thing in avocados lol so good luck. But none of them will taste like the one from the store.
@@rrrogster how in the world do you think they get the stock to make scions with. Someone, somewhere has to grow new trees from seeds lol
We brought a property with a Jujube tree on it. How do I know if it's grafted or not? Thanks
the cut angle isn't a good cut.
Not a big deal.
