7 Tips for Growing Apples in the Garden, THE MOST DISEASE RESISTANT APPLE TREE ON THE PLANET!

[@5kidslater1]

I get the biggest chuckle out of watching you anticipate a bite of apple or whatever food you are demonstrating. It’s like a ecstatic experience for you, and your audience experiences it vicariously! Keep up the good work!

[@mulcher4permaculture720]

Congrats on your 1 million subs. I’ve been watching you for a few years now. Growing on a small parcel using permaculture concepts. coming to you live from Lake County,Ca. Take care.

[@jamesprigioni]

Thanks Mulcher! Good stuff! That's one of the great things about the permaculture concepts they apply on the east coast, the west coast, and everywhere else. 😁

[@mulcher4permaculture720]

Your beyond inspiring. Thanks for the response. See you on the next video.👌

[@lolaseymour1532]

Another great video! Just got back from Portland & visiting my son who is getting into gardening at a house he & his wife are restoring. Told him he needed to watch you to which he replied in his best accent your intro. I was blown away. Keep up the great work! Love Tuck!

[@ajb.822]

So cool ! :)

[@Daily_Christian_Motivation]

Wow, that's so cool that you visited your son in Portland and he's getting into gardening! It's always great to hear from people who are learning and applying what they've learned. It's like the Bible says, "teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." I'm glad you can be a part of helping your son learn more about gardening so that he can enjoy it for years to come! God Bless.

[@fabricdragon]

oh Portland!? make sure he also watches some of the Portland local channels (This channel is fantastic, but climate is climate!) Parkrose Permaculture is near there

[@peggysue2354]

I'm feeling so incredibly blessed right now. Love you James and you guys in the comments also.😉. Lol I'm watching you also.

[@highcheekbones__5475]

I am absolutely obsessed with your channel! I love plants/ gardening 🌱🌱🌱 My kids enjoy watching too! I’m so inspired I can’t wait to become a homeowner to plant fruit trees and bushes 🍓🍎🍑🍋

[@Daily_Christian_Motivation]

Wow, it sounds like you have a real passion for gardening! I can totally relate - I love being outdoors and surrounded by plants myself. It's so rewarding to see something you've nurtured and cared for grow and thrive. It's great that your kids enjoy it too. Gardening is a great way to teach them about responsibility, patience, and the cycle of life. I'm sure you'll be able to teach them even more once you're a homeowner and can plant fruit trees and bushes. It's amazing how much we can learn from nature, isn't it? Just like plants need the right conditions to grow, we need the right conditions in our lives to thrive spiritually. When we put our trust in God and follow His commands, we can grow in our relationship with Him and bear fruit for His kingdom.

[@lexi-vx1pd]

I said exactly the same thing! One of mine hears the intro song and sings it!

[@Ripleyripper]

Best-tasting apple I have ever grown is the Wickson. Fruits are only golf-ball size but it seems like they pack the flavor of two dozen ordinary apples into each fruit. I've also found old-fashioned russet apples to be pretty scab and disease resistant. Golden Russet is outrageously flavorful and one I wouldn't ever want to be without.

Wow, every tip was one I needed! I'm growing my orchard in 5 gallon buckets. They will be planted in less than 30 days when I move into my new homestead. Thanks so much to both you and Tuck! I absolutely love your channel :)

[@Daily_Christian_Motivation]

I'm glad our tips were helpful to you! Growing an orchard in 5 gallon buckets is a great idea. I'm sure your new homestead will be beautiful.It's interesting that you mention buckets. The Bible talks about how we are like buckets that need to be filled with water from the well of salvation. Just as it is important to water our plants, it is also important to receive the living water that only God can provide. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

[@resourcefulgirl]

@@Daily_Christian_Motivation I love that and amen!! I absolutely can't wait to be surrounded by our Lord's creation. I'm excited for my little trees and we are all blessed by being a steward of God's creation. BTW..the poor little trees are so patient. They should have been planted months ago but building supplies were allocated and moving was delayed. Fruit trees are hard to find so I started buying when I could. I'm keeping a close eye on them :) Blessings.

[@Daily_Christian_Motivation]

@@resourcefulgirl Thank you for sharing your excitement for being surrounded by God's creation! I can relate to your eagerness, as I too am looking forward to spending time in nature. I'm also excited to see how your little trees grow. They are a reminder that we are all stewards of God's creation. Just as the trees are patiently waiting to be planted, we too must be patient in our walk with the Lord.

[@wallyosmond9204]

Dude I think you need to take it to the next level. I want to see you cooking up a mega-feast with everything you grew for thanksgiving. There's no way you don't cook and I'm always curious what kind of food you're creating with all this amazing fresh bounty. No other word for it.

[@tannenbaumgirl3100]

James, if planted with soil above the graft, you'll encourage branches to grow from the original rootstock, either below the graft, or even sprouting from the roots. The apples produced on those branches, if left to grow, will not taste good and not be anything close to the variety that was grafted onto the tree, hence you should cut out any branches sprouting below the graft. Only apples from the variety that was grafted onto the rootstock are desirable, which is everthing above the graft union. The rootstock always determines the size of the tree, not the zion, and planting the tree above the graft will not change that, however, planting the tree too deep, above the graft union, will also encourage disease and make the graft union vulnerable to rot, and possible kill the tree.

[@tannenbaumgirl3100]

@@paul.1337 That is not what he said....listen carefully! He said if you burry the tree below the graft you'll grow a full grown tree. I explained in detail what happens when you bury the tree below the graft, it's not as simple as he explained it. Also any tree might sprout new branches from below the graft...those must always be cut out for the same reason as I explained. His comment suggests that the tree would then grow from a dwarf or semi-dwarf to a Standard size...again, the size of a tree is determined by the rootstock. If you do not remove the sidesprouts coming from the ground below the graft, or above the graft for that matter, your tree will grow wild with rootstock and zion branches, look unkempt, encourage disease, and as I said, the graft will probably rot. That is the main reason why the graft must never be covered with soil or debrie that accumulates around those sprouts around the trunk.

[@PungentMango]

In my urban neighborhood two of my neighbors have absolute massive apple trees that we’re planted in the 70s. The biggest tree is 30+ feet tall and had literally hundreds of apples on the tree this season. 80% get rotten, thin naturally ,or damaged by wildlife, but the 20% that drop unscathed are probably some of the best tasting apples ive ever had. Like drinking apple cider with every bite. Very correct on cleaning up the young fallen fruit! Once they rot it’s like heaven for flies and other insects.

[@Daily_Christian_Motivation]

It sounds like you have some amazing apple trees in your neighborhood! It's so true that many of the apples that fall off the tree get damaged or rot - but the ones that are left are often the best tasting. It's definitely important to clean up the fallen fruit to avoid attracting flies and other insects. It's interesting to think about how this is similar to our spiritual lives. Often, we are the ones who get damaged or rot spiritually because we don't take care of ourselves. But the ones who are left are often the ones who have a strong faith and are able to weather the storms of life. Just like it's important to clean up the fallen fruit on your apple trees, it's important to take care of our spiritual lives by spending time in prayer and reading the Bible.

Thanks for another great upload!!!!!

Enjoy picking fruits and vegetables

[@ajb.822]

I'll just add that the dwarf types also have a shorter life-span ( accoring to the info on all the types) so, be aware of that. While It would be less easy to cover with bird netting, my plan is to get semi-dwarf for most things because they'll usually still a mangeable size it seems to me, while also having not quite as short of a life-span AND they yield more than dwarfs. I keep moving, so. not there yet but I do have a rockin' no-till garden ! Praise God for guys like James, teaching & inspiring the rest of us !

[@Daily_Christian_Motivation]

That's a great point about the shorter life-span of dwarf fruit trees. I'm definitely going to keep that in mind as I plan my own garden. I think you're right about the semi-dwarf trees being a good compromise - they're still manageable and yield more than dwarfs. I'm excited to get started on my own no-till garden! It's definitely inspiring to see someone like James doing such great work in the garden. It's a good reminder that with God's help, we can all do things we never thought possible.

[@judyfreeman5193]

I also prefer semi dwarf. If you keep them pruned they don't cause any trouble.

Thanks James. I purchased a bare root European Sweet Pear and an apple tree with three different varieties of heirloom apples from the 1800s. They had a lot of spotted leaves this year so I will try your treatment tips to improve the health of the trees. They have only been in the ground a couple of years so they aren’t producing any fruit yet.

Apples are my spring project along with grapes. I was hoping to get my apples planted this fall however I’m having trouble finding fall apple trees. My expansion of the garden is done. Now it’s time to get the permanent plants organized and set. The more I expand and think I’m done, the more room I find for raised beds. I’m able to fit 3 more beds in the space I’ve allotted but I’m seeing potential for more where I designated for seating.

[@hoosierpioneer]

Is there a list of varieties that pollinate one another, similar flowering times? Where do I learn my chill hours?

[@ajb.822]

for the latter, look up " chill hours ( or days ?) in my area" or try other search words, but if that doesn't find it, try your local " country agriculture extension office" and call and ask ( I've never done it but heard they give out info on growing things, for free. You msy have to stop in their offices, idk. I HAVE used mine to get my pressure canner checked for accuracy, since it was old and given to me, also a service they provide). Also search " can apples grow in ( name of your state... Hoosier..is that IN ?) and the resulting articles etc. should bring up the number of chill hours there, I'm guessing. Also ask a local tree nursery, they'd likely be able to tell you, if they sell fruit trees anyways.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

If you could choose only one tree to use as a Honeycrisp pollinator, which would it be?

[@renaissancewomanfarm9175]

If you have a really harsh climate, I would still recommend growing standard apples over dwarf. They are much hardier. I watched an apple orchardist from Britain that said if you buy standard to prune it low on the leader and it would grow like a dwarf. I had a tree taken down by deer instead of pruning and it seems to be true. It is staying a very short tree. Personally, I have been looking for a Grimes Golden for years. and I love Winesaps for apple sauce.

[@lifescansdarkly]

Agreed, came here to say this. Dwarf trees are not as cold-tolerant as full-size varieties due to their smaller root systems.
