Late Season Fruit Tour

Our old friend Ed dropped by and enjoyed some of his favorite late season fruit varieties with us. Can't hide Ed's excitement about good fruit. / whatsaidinedshead

The way Ed was swinging that knife around, I hope Mike wasn't injured filming him.

Never seen someone get so excited over a piece of fruit

[@stanlee1857]

I live in Linden ca and fell in love with Dave Wilson. I've planted over 50 trees from you guys 3 years ago and this year I actually had some fruit to try.thank you for everything you do.

[@TheBusyGardener]

Good to see Ed on here, giving some ideas for more late season varieties. Thanks, DWN!

[@cwcobo]

Ed, I want your job. Walk around outside in a beautiful environment, eating delicious food, chatting with people who like you.

[@DillonPeterson]

Oh man, I need one!

[@smokingstoking7357]

Love this guy

[@martini007m]

We need more videos like this! Are they on a different platform?

[@cgh353]

Dont be shy with the fruit tours guys! I am totally buying a emerald beut from one of your distributors.Seals the deal.

[@stanmack6171]

Seeing him sucking down that fruit make this video great!!!!!😍 I love Dave Wilson trees!

[@TheBusyGardener]

Though NOTHING beats Tom Spellman biting into a piece of fruit followed by "Delicious..."

[@stanmack6171]

This is true! Tom is awesome as well.

[@pengsfarm9082]

Yummy!

[@manasikashyap]

I need to get this! Please could you recommend a pollination partner for Emerald beaut that is suitable for 8b Pacific Northwest?

[@javierrivera9236]

I have an Emerald Beaut Plum that was planted last year and it's starting to bloom with less than 40 hours of chill (Orlando, FL)! I hope it can give me some fruit this year, but just in case I'm positive that it's adaptable to my low-chill area.

[@DaveWilsonTrees]

I hope you get some fruit, but just because it blooms doesn't mean the flowers are viable.

[@javierrivera9236]

@@DaveWilsonTrees I appreciate the feedback. You're absolutely right, so it's a gamble. However, you've shared plenty of stories when varieties with originally high-chill ratings have been adaptable in areas where winter chill is minimal. My Sweet Treat Pluerry (originally rated at 850 chill hours per the DWN tag) produced fruit for me in Orlando, FL with winters consistently at or below 100 chill hours. Those success stories give me hope and a sense of adventure to experiment with those varieties.

[@DaveWilsonTrees]

With stone fruit it's not a matter of being adaptable. It's more the breeder being wrong about their method of figuring required chill before trees can be actually tested. They try to guess on the high end usually. It takes people willing to gamble, and then actually tell us about it. WIth Emerald Beaut, it's an old variety and likely tested, though I'm not sure. If you get a crop, please tell us about it. We knew none of our Pluerry varieties were going to be 800 hours, but the breeder insisted we start there.

[@javierrivera9236]

I hope I can bring yet another success story to your mantle!

@@javierrivera9236Did your Emerald Beaut eventually fruit in Orlando?

[@tinyjungle_]

Enjoyed this one. I have a couple Persimmons and the leaves are curling upward pretty severely and there's some branch dieback. Planted early spring this year. The leaves on your trees look amazing this time of year. Any thoughts?

[@DaveWilsonTrees]

Could be over watering. How often do you irrigate? Where are you? Could be soil related also.

[@tinyjungle_]

@@DaveWilsonTrees Zone 10B and in a very Sunny Spot. I water deeply once a week for for about 10 minutes. I have about 90 other trees but the Persimmons seem to be the only ones that are struggling. No noticeable mites or pests. Maybe it is too much water.

[@DaveWilsonTrees]

Probably water related. Use a moisture meter and do not water until it’s dry.

Your agriculcher is very nice and 👌

[@jeff6899]

Great enthusiasm...but unfortunately, all those stonefruits are too high in chill hours for our Metro Phx area...

[@denko44]

You need to check out some of their vids. One comes to mind where they planted veriaties that were considered to be " high/ low" chill for their area just to see. They were pleasantly surprised by what they got. I wish I could remember the name of the video for you..

[@denko44]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZqodnuIm6Z4jbs Apples instead of stone fruit but still might be worth trying to see what you get.

[@ericbowers114]

Jeff im going to try and grow the Emerald Beaut and prove you wrong. 😂

[@johnmcneill923]

Brix number would be good

[@DaveWilsonTrees]

24 brix when fully tree ripe.

Can't stand videos where the person just yells and eats. I can do that at home. Teach me something, that's why I subscribe to your channel.
