      I have a small backyard orchard in South Dakota. I love hearing about northern gardeners making their own little orchards. I have cherries, peach, apple and pears. What are you buying?

    • @esmaistuu

    • @jjfash83
      @jjfash83 Před rokem +1

      @8th C.Elisabeth I was going to get cherries too, but they only had one variety in stock, so i got apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, nectarine. Tried to get all disease resistant and dwarf but I grabbed a couple of half-standard Apples I'll put on the north end. How close do you think I should put them along the woods? There's one Maple in the area that has branches stretching 25' out and over the area I want to plant.

      What happens if you prune a young peach tree in the spring? I missed pruning in the winter because I didn’t know to prune it then. Not sure if I should go ahead and prune it now or wait until this winter. It’s a 2 year old tree.

  • @adz5bneweng589
    @adz5bneweng589 Před rokem +9

    I think your pruning videos are the best! Not only do you show how to prune, but also explain why you prune each branch. Just so informative. Thank you!!

  • @tomst9417
    @tomst9417 Před rokem +3

    This is very timely for me as I will soon be pruning my peach trees. Last year I didn't prune enough of the 1 year old wood and subsequently the trees had too many peaches, more than the branches could support. Both of my trees then lost limbs during a severe thunderstorm, they were overburdened with the heavy fruit and snapped off of the main branches. Glad to hear Tuck is doing better!

  • @ceecee-thetransplantedgardener

    OH EM GEEEEEE! So excited to see you starting back into production. I hope you and Tuck are rested, well, and ready to tackle the new season.

    @kele1264 Před rokem +7

    Very nice to see you James! I think that every time I see you prune a tree, I understand it better. It seems like peach trees must grow very fast to need so much pruning each year. I love the idea of keeping the tree short, and taking very good care of it. Looking forward to your next video. Good health and happiness to you and yours! Hugs, kissies, and well-wishes for Tuck!

    This video has so much information! I wish I knew all this info when I got my peach tree. I let it get way too big. I need to get out and do some serious pruning to get it back under control. I have been trying to watch videos over this winter to see what to do and your explanations were exactly what I needed to hear.

    They really infested my young fruit trees last year.

    Pruned today using your methods. Your explanation made it all clear. I shaped five interspecific plumcots, dapple dandy etc. into 3-5 base trunks growing into scaffolds. The company had already lopped off the main trunk but never would have known to snip off hugely long ends shooting into the sky. Thanks!
