I am in SE NM and my July Prince peach trees are still not ripe on 21 July, They are small and hard but pretty. Could I have waited too late to thin them out. I did not know I had to do that until 2 weeks ago. We have had a lot of days over 100 degrees but 2" of rain in the last two days which is ALOT here.

You said "need a lot of sun" But your pomegranates looks ok without sun at all. Also, the spot where you planted the tree doesn't look like "completely sand", but normal black soil. So, what are you talking about 🤔

Love your stuff! Glad to have found you! If you’re keeping with organic dry amendments you don’t have to worry much about overdoing it on the plant as the plant will communicate with the microbes and take up what they want. Water soluble organics and synthetics yes you would have to be careful with. But you could easily give them some down to earth 444 or insect frass and light stuff like that to see if they enjoy it. You’ll likely see faster growth with a nice organic amendment and watering in some mykos/microbes and anything with biology (compost tea, adding compost on top of the amendment etc). As long as you push the biology and stick with dry amendements you should see some fast growth and not have to worry about burning or annoying the plants. Down to earth has an acid mix for blueberry’s I believe too ha.

I am in Ohio and have 6 blueberry plants in 25 gallon pots on my patio. They are 2 years old and I got a huge crop from 4 of them this year. The other 2 I got a smaller crop from. I cover mine with Tulle, like what is used in a wedding dress. I got it at Walmart. It absolutely works great. The holes are small enough that birds don't get stuck in it but the sun, rain, wind, and some pollinators can get through it. I did have some tulle that was much more tightly woven and every time there were strong winds the pots would blow over because the wind didn't go through it and pulled them over. That was frustrating so changed to the other kind and I love it.

Just recently found your channel and it's wonderful! I planted 8 fruit trees this year which is all new to me! I, like so many others, am trying to be self-sufficient in the garden. So, after a few years in the vegetable garden, I branched out to fruit. Pun intended 😊. I have found using tulle which I buy from Etsy works best. The black color looks like there is nothing on the plant, but there are tons of colors! Please don't use the regular bird netting because the birds get caught in it. I've had to rescue them, and it's not fun! Thanks for sharing your garden and knowledge!

Thank you, I'm in zone 4 up here in minnesota. Your video answered some questions I had. In fact, I was actually looking at my blueberry plants when Your video showed up. God has always shown me the way and has always put my mind at ease with all my concerns. Thus, your video. Great tips and am looking forward to seeing more content from you. I've got 6 low bush plants 2 each, 3 different kinds. These plants are very similar to yours as far as age and growth. You put my mind at ease knowing I'm on the right path. God bless. 🙂

I’ve got the lovely clay and summer triple digits of central TX on the cusp of 8A/B. We planted the Eversweet (3 yrs in ground) and Parfianka (2 yrs in ground). They grow well, get the occasional flower but no fruit. I amended the soil when planted, give them a monthly dose of diluted fish emulsion, and are on a drip irrigation system. Any other ideas?

@bikr657316 күн бұрын
If you perform winter/summer pruning regularly -- as you should per the nature of espalier training, then standard vs spur fruiting habit shouldn't matter, right? I think you planted the tree(s) too close to your fence which inhibits air circulation and reduces light access. Routine watering will cause moisture damage to your *wooden* fence as well. In spring, trees spend most of their energy on vegetative growth and fruiting, not rooting... so, planting a fruiting tree in spring (although commonly done) is probably not an optimal practice IMHO. Cheers~
