Great video on serviceberries! I planted one almost five years ago. The first year I (foolishly) did not protect it from rabbits and I almost lost it. It's since made some gains, but still on the smaller size. Hoping to see it really take off in the next 2 years. Yours look lovely.

@@gardenwiseadventures Wow, that was fast! I thought you had said Peruvian, but then when I paused the video and looked it up, my Karma search engine didn't return with anything, but then I went to google and found another video you had done distinguishing between Aunt Molly's and the Peruvian golden. I was just coming back to say never mind when I saw that you had already answered my question. Thank you so much. I love your videos. You do them in such a real way and with a homeowner scale! I live in Vermont (zone 5; we used to be zone 4), so to find some crossover in possible plants is very helpful. I, too, have medlars and pawpaws, but they have not fruited yet. I have a few little kiwi on my hardy kiwi vine. It's exciting to taste things for the first time. this year, the Dwarf Gerardi Mulberry fruited. Not too much fruit, but boy, what I got is delicious. Each year it will get better and better. I also have about 20 quince coming. I've never tasted them, but I think I'll like them; there is little that I don't like! I planted my food forest in the spring of 2020; I discovered permaculture during the winter of the pandemic and never looked back. I, too, use strawberries as a groundcover. I always feel like I'm playing twister when I go out to harvest! This past spring, I planted two heartnuts out back, and I'd already planted four hazelnuts; I'm curious about the hardiness of the pistachios you have. I keep looking for ones that might survive in zone 5 because they are my favorite nut ever.

Blue basil such as the cultivar Magic Mountain put pollinators in a frenzy. Bought some for the ornate flowers (looks like giant lavender) and I haven't seen so many insects in years. Honey bees, bumble bees, moths, butterflies, hoverflies, lacewings and countless other aliens! It's a sterile hybrid so it must be cloned with cuttings year round, but if you can find a live plant, it is worth the effort.

I read the little fruit tree book and was inspired to grow trees around the perimeter of my property. Didn't realize at the time stone fruit trees fruit on second-year branches, so my beautiful candelabra espaliers turned out to be good-looking non-bearing trees. They're 7-8 years old. They fruited the first time last year but none this year possibly due to late frost. I'm in the process of thinning out the candle sticks and letting them limb out sideways. It's discouraging growing in limited space without production. Yes patience and perseverance. Good education is also key. I cut what I've pruned into small pieces and use as mulch. I don't have a truck to bring in yards of gardening materials and I don't mind the messy look. I'm happy to have garden waste compost in place.

My question is, the plant is so happy growing in my kitchen window, and she may be getting too big for her current pot. At such a young age, would you recommend me moving her to a bigger pot to keep allowing her to grow roots? Unfortunately I cannot force her being planted in the garden anytime soon due to the high summer temps. And if I should move her to a bigger pot, are there any recommendations on how to handle her delicate roots? <3 thank you!

@gardenwiseadventures
@gardenwiseadventures 19 күн бұрын
@happytime1012 When you say shoots, are you talking about water sprouts or branches growing up from the base of the tree? If so, you can cut them off as low as you can get and then apply Sucker Punch to help reduce the growth later. Bonide Sucker Punch, 16 oz Ready-to-Use Spray, Control Unwanted Plant Sprouts, Plant Growth Regulator for Home Garden a.co/d/0esVluqg I do worry that there may be something wrong with the root area of your tree, as Maples generally don't produce sucker's unless they are stressed. Could there be circling roots that are circling the tree? Was it planted too deep? Was the wire basket or ropes left on the tree when it was planted? Investigate those things and see if you can find the cause. Hopefully, it's something that can be corrected.
