Do you still cut back in November in zone 5?

Who is watching in 2024

Thanks for a Brilliant Vidclip ....... Now, I have a Massive Infestation of 'Wooly Aphids' .... Just how do I get rid of These Buggers ??????? :-) :-) :-) Best to ALL from ChCh, NZ

John "Appleseed" Chapman, Thomas Grimes, The Mullens (Golden Delicious), and James Stark of Stark Bros Nurseries enter the chat to discuss strategies on establishing nurseries across an entire Continent in the Western Hemisphere to rival the famous manmade orchard in South America a.k.a. the Amazon Rainforest.

My three pears had lots of blossom, however there are now nearly no pears at all (four or five only per tree). What when wrong? Do birds eat the flowers or something else happened?

Thank you

Thanks for the info. I have a greengage newly planted in a container with another plum. Hoping to keep small through pruning.

I usually buy ladybugs and release them on the infected tree. The aphids don't last long after release. The ladybug's usually stick around 2-4 years before they're gone. PS don't kill the babies as they are kinda scary looking. Not knowing they were ladybug larvae, I called the alligator bugs and killed them untill I found out what they were. These big vabies will eat many more aphids than the adults

At last someone who knows what there talking about on this problem. Thanks sir.

thanks for teaching us, from renton, washington 🇺🇸.

Thanks watching u from South Africa

My young tree produced its first fruits. Unfortunately aphids are going to town on it

What is the anti fungal paint you are talking about?

Thank you, sir. This is my exact problem, and now I have the solution.

Great info!

Nice, who can send me comise seeds,

I have wasps on drinking sweet nectar dripping down my plantain and I was wondering if they were pollinating the little flowers or destroying them for there sap either way I thought I'd better not get rid of them because they do some service to the bees for sure. i also thought birds and moths maybe pollinate too. Only problem I see with the wasps on my plantain is there's one really really big one that attacks the other smaller wasps and it will collect the liquid fly off for about 5 minutes come back and claim it's prize after shewing off the smaller hornets and wasps. This thing might be a yellow jacket...

We've recently moved to a New home with two mature apple trees. Your videos have been incredibly helpful!

Is there any requirement for the bud scion from a tree of a particular age? I've heard that scion wood from a fruit tree that flowered and fruited for a few years is preferred.

Good presentation. What im looking for is, if the branches get bend and burried in soil(partly), do they root. I know it works with fig trees.

There be the voice and hands of experience. 10/10 👍

Great tip! Thank you!

What if there are no bees?

Tying a tree with a sting like this does not let the trunk expand during growth. The portion under the grease band ends up significantly thinner than the rest of the trunk above. This creates a weak spot at the base of a tree. I did something similar and lost three fruiting trees to strong winds. They all snapped right where the banded portion was. So be careful with this technique.

Thank you so much for sharing this great idea, God Bless you Sir.

How long shold I left clothes pin on the branches before removing

Thank you, I'll be giving these a try this year

Thank you. I've just used your method to rind graft a Ribston Pippin. Hope I'm not too early in the season!

Po murzyńsku i nic nie zrozumiałem :|

Like it it, nice

Clear, concise informative, many thanks.

Thankyou - that makes perfect sense 😊

Word from the wise

Perfect!

Thank you sir! How to start a good tree out is key to fruit.

Short, precise, to the point, and very easy to remember understand. Hats off

"mistletoe does not harm the tree" he says as the mistletoe grows on a limb thats been killed off at the end by the mistletoe as it sits there as a stub..... 🙄🤦

I have a beautiful abundance of honey bees in my garden every year, I believe the bees became accustomed to having me around and would not attack or attempt to sting me. But halfway through the season I noticed wasps coming in and intimidating or bullying the honey bees away, and also flying at my face and attempting to sting me in my garden. Does this method also kill or trap honey bees? I only want the wasps gone 🥲

❤Thank you

Gutes Video, sind das Halbstämme oder Buschbäume?

Lovely man

Wow

amEn

Thank you so much. I learned a lot from this video.

Thank you. I have inherited two gg trees very close together. Would you recommend I take one out completely to enable the one remaining to flourish?

Thankyou! very helpful

Nice sir 🙏💐

Thank you for sharing that information Dan. I never knew figs had to be potted for better crops. I used to live in Athens, Greece and had a fig in my front garden - I love them.

This man isn’t just a national treasure……he’s a WORLD TREASURE!!! My granny, now passed, was a master gardener from wales. I loved loved listening to her talk about garden tips when I was a child. And in the garden, we spoke softly and moved quietly.

I adore this guy. He’s direct, clear, and doesn’t add excess words in his direction. He’s a big plus to the gardening community.
