Thanks Dave ! This video is so clear to me for two of my peach trees. Last month I winter pruned, but I learned today how to better see what my peach tree will need for good fruiting. I also learned that my tip toe around my trees approach is not as effective as it might be for the long term health and harvesting of and from of my peach trees. I am learning and in part, thanks to you.

I am sooo grateful for your vids. You my friend are the very reason I have ventured into planting fruit trees. Every thing I needed to learn, the inspiration came from you. I even went so far as to purchase only Dave Wilsons bare root fruits. I just put them in the ground three weeks ago. I feel both excited and a bit anxious about them..like having new pets you know little about Crazy ya?

I can't sleep the night before I winter prune my stone fruit orchard. I feel a lot better after watching this. I still don't quite understand the difference between vegetative wood, fruiting wood, fruit spurs, first year wood, second year wood, etc.
@ayatti26
@ayatti26 6 жыл бұрын
Big Papi it's all a bout the sizes. Spurs are stubs on older wood, Spurs produce the flowers on plums, pears and apples. Older wood is considered 2 years and older. If a branch has side growth it is older than a year. Only the one year old wood is straight with no side branches. You see those during the growing season give it the title of one year old wood. Next year that branch will produce Spurs and side growth making it 2 years old. Two year old wood on peaches and apricots produce flowers that will produce fruit, that same branch won't produce fruit the third year, instead that branch will put out a new branch (1 year old) that will fruit next year (2 year old). Most owners remove the branch that just fruited, during the summer prune, to encourage a new branch to replace it for the next year. Just get to know your tree like your child and you will see the develop and know the difference in one season of observation.

Your videos have given me the courage to get my tiny little orchard into shape. It includes 6 trees and they are in their 4th year. Just two week ago I went and opened them all up and brought them down to a size that is manageable, and I am so please with the way they turned out and am looking forward to seeing how they all do this spring and summer. There are 2 full size tart cherry trees in another location on our property that I have a question on. Is it possible to bring their height down? They are so tall that I can't reach 2/3 of the branches to harvest. They are about 7 years old and begin branching out at about 5.5 to 6 feet off the ground.

You can bring older trees down to size by pruning a third off at a time, so you can prune it now, a third off the top. Then again mid-summer, or right after harvest. Then prune more off next winter. Our demo trees were pruned knee-high at planting, then topped every summer to keep them a certain height.

Hi there, I have a semi dwarf peach from you guys. It was in a wine barrel for several years, now in the ground for 3. It was never pruned correctly. Can I cut about 3-4 feet above the graft and start regrowing branches? There are no branches on the trunk, tree is like a 10 foot tall lollipop... I’m in Sacramento and just starting to see first signs of bud swell, if I can cut it to a bare 3 ft tall stump, should I do it now?

Dave Wilson Nursery hey thanks for the quick reply! that’s the thing, I don’t see any buds below the 2 main scaffold branches. I did a pretty heavy pruning the other day hoping to stimulate new growth, you think I should wait and see it the tree pushes some new buds along the trunk before I cut it? Btw, just got back from the nursery and got one of your “Katy” apricot trees, already pruned nice and tidy and shapely, also got your dwarf blackberry and raspberry and I thought I grabbed a dwarf blueberry but it’s a 2nd blackberry, gotta go back tomoro and trade... needed some plants for big pots on my patio..You guys grow a lot of good stuff :)

If you top it low now there is a very good chance it will push, since it has a three year old rootstock under it. But there is a small chance it will fail to push.

For growing zone 6, when can I start pruning? And what trees? I pruned my apple tree in January 2 years ago, then we had very low temperatures and the tree died. I am so worried about when to prune my trees again. I worry that frost may damage the tree. What is your opinion on this? Thank you for this video. It is very helpful!!! What growing zone are you in? eva

Thank you. This is what our local pruning expert said as well. But it is so hard to believe because the tree was very much alive when I was pruning, it had green layer under the bark and the branches were fresh and brown. Then a few weeks, in February, we had a hard freeze like never before (well, maybe just not in the last couple of years) and in the spring the tree dried up and died. It never, ever happened to me before. Now I am afraid to touch my many trees during the winter.

You can, if you want to bring it down. Not a good idea if rain is in the forecast.. you can always wait until it leafs out. We like to do size control pruning in the Spring, at the same time we're thinning the fruit.

I have a few questions.. My husband passed away 2 years ago....he took care of all the trees on our property. We have apples and peaches...some of the peach trees that have been planted for I know at least 10 years....and they do not look like they have ever been pruned. They have grown straight up. They bloom they get peaches on them but they rot before ripping. Now I know a few things I can do and one is there are lots of trees around the Peach trees no sunlight is getting in. But what I need time know from you. Can I save these trees? It would mean a lot to me if I could. Now I punned the best I could in Febuary they are so talk I could not reach most of the tree...but from what I watched on here...could I bring all the height down to my size even though it's in bloom? Needing so much advice...PLEASE CAN YOU HELP?

It's best to bring them down a bit at a time. So prune them down a third right now, then more this winter. Then prune agin the following summer. Thinning the fruit is also very important for good quality. When the fruit is about the size of a quarter space the peaches out about 8 inches.

I would like to remind you before the 1960's central valley fruit basket of the world water table was 30ft deep in Fresno, County of California. We are now seeing city's going down deeper to maintain population growth and farmer's are putting in triplines and putting in deeper Wells. My thoughts on the environment it is changing caused by Mass diversion of water not recharging to underground Aqua table, But using it for farming. We need to establish marshlands and wetlands grassfield's for migrating birds and wild animals re-building the ecosystem in the San Joaquin Valley of California. My knowledge comes from Stratford Career Institute vocational online schooling based out of Canada and the Northeast.

The result of just cutting wood fast as Tom is doing in all the videos , keeping trees down by cutting the top etc....is visible in these videos. These trees have all the fruiting wood up...nothing at the base of the main branches. What that mean? Simple, the anterior pruning sessions were bad. So maybe another aproach fro. The beggining would be wiser. Also,you guys need to know something. For instance in peach trees...by removjng big branches you will not generate new low shoots simply because back-up buds are dead on older wood in peaches. Peach is not apple to regenerate like that..after 2 years of age, those sleeping buds will die and the growth will only take place on the young wood. So, I would like to see those peach trees you prune in this video after 1-2 seasons.... Learn how to prune guys...simply chopping wood here and there with no discrimination between species is not the way to go... I understand home gardner need very simple way of managing any tree but in the same time everybody needs to understand sometimes too simple is not possible. It just isn't,just like you can not simplify working on a car engine, it will just not work.

@@caseG80 Who was asking them? I was not. Second, comments on mean an invitation for viewers to comment. That is my oppinion. Shoul it matter? Not for them, maybe for those looking to learn. A different oppinion is an invitation to study , in this case other sources. Maybe better things can be done. Seems fair. For me it was just a heads up for those interested to learn, this might not be the best source. For.the happy ones who consider "so mich time they are doing it" replace knowledge...great, my comment is not for them. Shluld I do that? Maybe, except there are people who did it better so it would be redundant, I do not sell anything so it would be purely my own pleasure, I prefer spending my resources in a different way for now. Just in case you want to see/hear a guy who knows his "sh*t",look for user Mikovel for example. Potare pesco...2 vids..another recent video where he explains the viability of reserve buds which is very limited ( reason for peach not to regenerate as easy as these guys presume)... There are useless hate comments and there are reasons for "negative" comments, huge difference. There is reason/argument which stand alone itself and there is "he knows because he is doing it for 50 years...if you are smarter let's see you"... Cheers. Ps. I have great respect for Tom and what he is doing. Also, I understand to some level why is need to oversimplify things. Is just in some matters wrong is wrong and too much is really too much,that is all.

"in peach trees...by removing big branches you will not generate new low shoots simply because back-up buds are dead on older wood in peaches." Tell that to my peach. I cut a large limb back - something like 3-4 inches in diameter - and several new young shoots sprouted. No problem. I think these guys know what they're doing.
