Pruning a tree correctly is an art. This year we are again at Paul Gautschi's Back to Eden garden to learn how to prune fruit trees. It doesn't really matter if they are apple trees, pear trees or plumb trees, they all get pruned with the same philosophy. Prune from the inside out and create enough air and space for the entire tree to have access to the sun. Paul also talks about why grafting different varieties of fruit is important and how to graft properly.

The most interesting and informative video I have ever seen about tree shaping and pruning. Well done man!
The Gospel Gardener! Excellent!
I really learned from those videos. I shaped a pear tree to perfection and the fruit increased.
My 93 year old aunt has an espalier pear tree on one wall of her house that has been there as long as I can remember and that's over 50 years! Espalier done well can last a long time.
"This digging down and doing work is not happening here"!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! I hear myself saying the same exact thing. I invested in a good set of pruners and shears and the shovels are getting rusty. Thanks Paul and Thatnub.
Thanks Paul
A true master
Great gardener great understanding, refreshingly sane thank you Paul very uplifting
Thanks you;re the best to keep it real with light hearted humor lOL muchas gracias felcidades
Another great Paul video. Thanks!!!
God bless your heart Paul,you're amazing teacher.Wish you all the best.
im late on discovering your videos but im very happy i did and happy for so many, Thank you Mr Gautschi and may you continue to make Gods work
Great information, thanks for posting this.
Thanks for documenting this knowledge
Hey mate, keep up the good work. Really enjoyed watching all the backyard series you created. Looking forward to some updates, what has and hasn’t worked, any other projects you've been working on too!
So cool..love your work ..I'm starting a garden now from scratch.. going to give this a go
I hope you started with newspapers on grass and à good 4 inches of compost on top of that before you laid down thé woodchips. This is what Paul recommended. I watched thé other vidéos. Without compost under thé first layer of woodchip, one needs to add fertiliser big time
Thank you for making these
Videos. I always go back and watch these. Still good
I was waiting for this, thank you!
I live in peach country. I planted 4 of them. Saw Pauls vid and wanted my trees to hang down like his. Thought I might use fishing weights like the Japanese do. Didn't do it and the the fruit came on and down they go. They are stunning right now in August. Looks like Eden.
Thanks for this video, I knew the others were skipping over stuff on pruning.
That is awesome. I wish I could grow peaches here. They are so tasty.
Thanks! Nice to get deeper information
Thank you again! What à useful vidéo!!
I know of a wild apple tree, it is unmaintained so it has lots of low lying branches on the ground and more hanging high over head that you can climb up to
Great video again! Has Paul ever said where he got his sheath from? I can’t seem to find a good one.
Thanks for this video! Is the tour starting up this June? I'm planning to visit the first Sunday of June this year. Super excited!
I just learned how to prune my apple 🍎 trees can’t wait to get at em.
@heartwayfarms preparing our back to Eden Garden can't wait to see abundance. #heartwayfarms #backtoedengarden
Can you please do a separate video on Paul's furnace?
I just grafted and Apple tree. We will see if then take. They are off a golden delicious tree.
I love ur work man. Ur awesome. What's ur views on growing bunching onion s in grow bags ? 1 gallon
Marilyn Francis Paul now has a youtube channel where he and Nick answer questions every other Thursday. The channel is called Growing Back to Eden
Glad you did a pruning video. Thanks
I've been trying to learn Paul's pruning style for a few years now...he talks about convenience as the time to prune...I have to add that in my experience, you better not take substantial cuts in the summer or fall or the cuts will not heal. Taking little fresh sprouts all season like he speaks of is great, but just not big wood.
I inherited some older dwarf apples that haven't been managed at all for at least a decade or two. Are there any cuts that Paul wouldn't make in that case? I took the center out of the one to open it up, but it was a very large cut. Now I'm just waiting to see if the tree survives the year so I can start shaping the rest of it.
PAUL what is the space between your trees? thank you for all the great infor mation i learned more from you than the years in school thanks again
russ sherwood when we toured up there this summer he said 15 ft but said he wished he would have planted. Them 18 ft apart
thank you
I've been watching for a while, and have greatly loved applying your pruning techniques! I wonder, with respect to your trees, if it would be a good idea to let a sucker go up from about halfway back to the trunk, to send out a new lateral branch, so more fruit is up off the ground? Just a passing thought...
I have seen him cut some of the branches that were laying on the ground before, mostly because they grew out of the space that he wanted them to be. I think he just likes his trees low to the ground.
@@L2Survive I intend to replicate his style. I like it, too.
What kind of Apple trees do you grow and where do you get them?
IS THIS TECHNIQUE DUABLE FOR ALL FRUIT TREES ?
L2S, I planted fruit trees the spring of 2017 so they are still pretty young. Not sure how old they need to be before pruning. When Paul talks about pruning from the inside out and taking the centers out, does he mean that I should cut out the main center stem of the tree that is growing up the middle of the tree and leave the branches that are growing out the side. I have a peach tree that has branches from 12:00 to 12: 00 growing off the main center stem and then the main center stem going right up the middle straight up. Should I cut the main center stem going straight up the middle if I want my trees to grow like Paul.
yes, cut off the center branch. Most people want it to look like a Y. The height of the trunk depends on what you want to achieve. Some people grow it tall because they want to be able to walk underneath, I have mine shorter and I prune it to keep it short like 8-10 ft.
I don't know if you want your peach tree to be grown downward like Paul's apple trees since you don't want the peaches to be touching the ground.
Could you please provide a link to Paul’s holster? Thx
AT WHAT AGE DO YOU START PRUINING THE TREE ? THX
How big is Paul's garden and his orchard?
This is like a bonsai fruit tree.
I have a question - does Paul thin his fruit as it's growing? Not the branches, but the fruit. TIA!
I have never heard of him doing that. Maybe .... maybe on tomatoes.
I would love to have my dwarf Apple tire cut like yours. But I can't reach the top. Witch is so tall.
Its easy... just cut the top of the tree where you do not want to go any higher typically 6' or so your tree will start growing in other directions including straight up. By maintaining the height year after year you will get the tree in the shape that Paul has. The longer you wait the harder it is to do. Go ahead and take charge..there are no mistakes..
can anyone tell me if he plants tomatoes or peppers
Athmane from Algeria, Paul can i use saw dust instead of wood chips, thank you
saw dust from wood working (probably not as useful but you can still use) or from a saw mill where trees are turned into lumber (probably better)? People use it but it won't be like Paul's mulch. The reason why his mulch is good is because it's fresh and it's chipped from live branches, etc. This biodegrades faster than dried wood, bark, etc.
And you want to put this stuff in layers. Don't mix it into the soil.
shabbat shalom!
So I’m getting ready to prune, but you suggest to do it in the winter? Should I wait or go ahead?
Paul says that you can prune anytime. He prefers the winter because there are no leaves and nothing to do in the garden. I would suggest you prune now though. If you do it now, the tree will not waste energy producing branches you are just going to cut off.
Hi, was wondering if you could help. I recently covered a grass area with about 25 - 30cm of freshly cut wood chips (from a local tree arborist). I let it sit for about one month, then dug down to the grass level and planted potatoes. After about 30 days I checked on my potatoes, only to find them all completely rotted and turned to moosh. I planted organic, new season, fresh, agria potatoes, some even had sprouted small shoots before I planted them. What do you think went wrong? Also with sweet potato is it fine to treat them just like potatoes and not break off the 'slips', that seems very unnatural?
I did pretty much the same thing this fall. The potatoes I used were heavily sprouted so I wasn't really expecting them to survive the winter and keep growing in the spring. But I figured I would try it anyway just in case, instead of throwing them away. So far nothing has popped up. And when I checked on a couple, they looked like rotten moosh. I am thinking that the problem is the fact that the potatoes had already come out of dormancy and the delicate shoots could not survive the winter so they die off leaving damage at the eyes and compromising the potato inviting worms etc to eat it. Last time I planted potatoes under wood chips it was February, but they had not pre-sprouted at all. They turned out fine.
I have thought the same thing about sweet potatoes. I haven't tried growing them yet, but intend to this year, and I will simply bury large sweet potatoes whole. It should be the same principle as regular potatoes. That is how it would grow without human intervention.
Forgiveness is immediate, but the results are slower. I think forgiveness is like the pruning itself, and the healing is the more long range effects (benefits!) of forgiveness!
Can you prune other varieties like this such as stone fruits?
I wish someone would answer that question
I paused at the 4:14 mark to ask what you think about the idea of taking them all and trying to root them? As long as they grow, and have to be pruned, I wonder if there is a best length to prune for propagation...
Paul likes dwarf trees because they do not grow too tall. If he did take a cutting and try to propagate it, he would probably graft it on to a dwarf root stock. The other issue he has is space. Paul has enough trees filling his orchard. He did add a couple of trees last year but, he had to put them in his parking lot because the orchard was full.
@@L2Survive Oh, I know he is full. I was speaking about the idea in general.
L2S, would you please ask Paul where we could order a holster like his that carries his pruning saw and shears? Thanks very much.♡
Great question Sue! I have been looking for one as well and will resort to making one if unable to buy one.
Just Asking I f you do make one, could you make 2 and let me buy one from you? I'll put you in the Will and everything!!♡♡♡ Sue
Yes Sue I will make you one if I cannot find one! LOL put you in the will! I know what you mean!!! ❤❤❤ Catherine
Just Asking Thank you, my darlinkkk!!!
This wont be a great answer but I used my stihl handsaw sheath for my samurai saw (fits perfectly) and attached a leather sheath for my pliers to it with a tie-wrap and nylon nut and bolt. Works perfectly. (Get the nylon nut and bolt at any Ace hardware store). I don't know if you can get the stihl sheath separately from the saw. I'd attach a pic if I knew how. Good luck!
what about sunburn on those branches? does he have that issue? maybe in other parts of the country this would be an issue
Paul does not have a problem with that but I do remember him talking one time about how people will paint the bottom of the trees, white I believe, to stop that from happening. Maybe in one of the pruning videos but, I am not sure.
I have a citrus tree that is approximately 15' - 18' tall. How do I prune it to reduce the height of the tree without damaging or killing it?
uglybucky you could replace it with a dwarf tree. Topping trees is a pain
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Reduce by no more than 1/3 at a time til you reach the height you want
Are these well maintained standard size trees?Or are these dwarfs?
Dwarf root stocks.
EVERYTHING THAT I LEARN FROM SCHOOL WERE LIES " 25:30
I don't know why he doesn't seem to have a problem with slugs. When I tried a wood chip garden, millions of slugs lived in the mulch and destroyed everything.
Slugs like stressed out unhealthy plants. The better your soil, the healthier your plants and the less pests will attack them.
"you don't need to put them in a cool place" .... "they just lay there, whole winter".... "teaching us lies...."
Cutting into the end is kinda what kids do to get a nice line. Then you get older, you get too educated for your own good so you leave stumps and shit because someone told you.
