Summer Pruning Apple Tree, Cutting Out Spent Raspberry canes.

Today we cut out the spent raspberry canes, and tied in the new canes for next years raspberry crop. We planted some some early peas dwarf peas, for a autumn crop.
We also summer pruned the apple tree, to improve cropping. This tree will also need winter pruning

Hi Cliff and lovely Diane After watching you do raspberries couple years back now val does ours and have found our crops of them have been fabulous since , She now doing the fruit trees bless her and doing a cracking job .

[@CastleHillGarden]

That is good to hear Bill & Val, sounds like she is doing a good job on the fruit trees. A well pruned fruit tree does produce the best fruit. Take care regards from us both.

Thank you for the great content on your video. I now have a tape gun so I will have some fun with that .😊 Have a great week to you both 🍎🍏🥔🌱

[@CastleHillGarden]

Yes you will Joan, Its very very useful tool. A good tip is to always keep some staples with you, you always seem to run out in the middle of a job. Take care regards Cliff.

[@daina7665]

There's always so much to learn from your videos. What variety of peas do you sow at this time of year?

[@CastleHillGarden]

Hi daina, the peas I sowed were kelvedon wonder, any early dwarf peas would give a crop. Take care regards Cliff.

[@helenlazoga1487]

Great video as always, Thankyou. Do you prune plum trees in the same manner Cliff?

[@CastleHillGarden]

Yes I do Helen, but stone fruit needs to be pruned in the summer on a dry day. This is to avoid silver leaf that's carried in the rain. Take care regards Cliff.

[@laurathomason8693]

Hi I was wondering where you got your pruner from for pruning your apple tree? I've taken on a new allotment and have many fruit trees of which are in desperate need of pruning. Love the channel guys

[@CastleHillGarden]

Hi Laura, I bought this pruner years 15 years ago, cant think where I bought it. They are still available you could try Amazon. Thanks for watching regards Cliff.

[@sajadahmed1269]

Hi cliff and Diane I see you cut your raspberry Bush what will happen if you don't cut them.

[@CastleHillGarden]

Hi sajadahmed, If you didn't remove the old canes, the new canes would struggle to grow and produce fruit. Take care regards from us both.

[@kathrynhobbs8874]

Cliff and Dianne thank you for a most opportune video but I now have lopper envy! I need to summer prune my apple trees, but although I have a nice new pole tree lopper/pruner, it requires the chord to be pulled to operate the jaws. I find this very hard on my old hands, but I spied your lever pull. Now look as I may I cannot find any lopper with that lever. Can you tell me what make it is please.

[@CastleHillGarden]

I don't know If they are still available, I have had this one over 20 years. Try Amazon they seem to carry a good stock of useful pruners regards Cliff.

[@marymcandrew7667]

Hello Cliff and Diane! Can you tell me what kind of peas you planted? Are they for shoots or for fully developed peas? I noticed today my green beans look like they put on some growth, they were not doing anything for a long time. And I dont know if we'll get any beans for shelling, they are pathetic this year.

[@CastleHillGarden]

Hi Mary, the peas I planted were Kelvedon wonder dwarf peas, they are good peas as they grow quickly. Our beans are also struggling although the coco de paimpol, seem to be thriving. Its been a difficult season this year regards Cliff.

[@chrismorrow1467]

What variety of Raspberry do you grow Clif

[@CastleHillGarden]

Hi Chris, the raspberries are called malling Juno, they are early cropping and very heavy fruiting regards Cliff.

[@louiseking]

Cliff can you take cuttings from raspberries?

[@CastleHillGarden]

Hi LouiseKing, It is possible but not always successful, but easier to take a root runner from the plant in the autumn. Take care regards Cliff.
