How To Peach Tree Transplanting

[@TheFrogfeeder]

I treat my fruit trees like my bonsai trees. Before I plant them I wash all the soil off and comb out the roots around the trunk. Then I plant with the roots complete spread horizontally and in as even of a circle as I can get. Fruit trees are pretty forgiving when it comes to roots, as long as they don’t dry out you can’t really kill em. I just bought a elberta peach to replace the one from 3 years ago that my goats ate… my debit card must have told my Facebook or my cell phone that I bought one today to get a video like this recommended to me…

[@jtharp9265]

We planted 2 🍑 peach trees 5 yrs ago , then we had that bad freeze in Texas and lost 1 . They sent me another 1 from fast-growing trees , It died, and they only replaced up to 1 yr . They weren't cheap , they were like $129 each . They told me we needed 2 peaches to get fruits . Well, in the past 2 years, without another peach, we got nothing . So we bought a peach ( Florida king ) just wrapped in plastic and the sticks out the top . This time, I'm planting IN a big pot about a 40-gallon cattle feed tub ( washed out ) With good dirt , potting & black manure ready , perlite . Did yall require 2 peach trees ? Plus I bought to fig trees from one of our farmer stores , this past spring ,I planted those in big whiskey looking barrels. I'm so excited 1 of them have lil figs growing like 16 so far ,only the size of a pea right now . But it's producing . Even with this HOT TEXAS HEAT . WE PUT SHADE CLOTHE OVER OUR PLOTS WITH PEPPERS OR I was finding them sun scalded . If anyone could answer t about the peaches 🍑???? I'm gonna take this down by the other now 5ft high beautiful peach trees - tons of leaves but no fruit .it bloomed early like bk in March, but nothing. I'm hoping this 2nd $14.99 peach tree is gonna work come spring ? God bless yall Mrs Josette Texas 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

I bought a peach tree today to transplant and I appreciate this video beyond measure.

[@Earthmasters08]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tracygilbert5731]

And my wife thinks you just buy something from Home Depot and just stick it in the ground. Glad I saw this.

[@traceykays433]

Wow you make me want to dig mine up and replant them LOL

[@IgnatiousoReilly]

So glad I found this before planting

[@myhusbandsrib]

Thx for sharing! This video is very helpful. Q- I just purchased a dwarf peach a wk ago. I haven’t planted yet but it’s April 1st in NY, zone 7. Can I plant it outside now? It already started flowering.

[@aishapierre-louis2859]

I love this video.I purchased a peach tree from walmart and had no idea how I was going to transfer. But your video was very detailed.Thank you😊

[@CurbAppealLand]

How is your tree doing

[@kennethkline7702]

How is the tree now?

[@yes350yes]

Ive looked at a lot of peach tree planting vids,, but this is the real deal , so glad I watched it.

[@goofyshorts5508]

Going to Home Depot today and decided to do a little research prior. Thank you for this

[@wealthintruth6227]

Thx for the real world education! My tree roots will have room to grow and thrive.

[@eliev7844]

Wow, absolutely illuminating! Thank you

[@mike.barton]

Great video,thanks for all the valuable info. You should make more videos, I can tell you have a wealth of knowledge . I would love to watch and learn from you. ✌

[@sronnau99]

Bro! This is so important!!!! Thank you!!!

[@robertduncan2742]

I got two dwarft peaches about 3 feet tall both came in a small square plastic container thats long. I dug holes about 3 x the sizes and loosened everything then slightly backfilled befor planting then finished. I placed chicken wire around the two so rabbits to more stays away. Im going to add leaves for winter to make sure things are good unit winters over. I hope these will be ok.

[@myownlittleworld21]

You’re really good at explaining this.

[@Jetdizon]

Outstanding video. thank you very much! I bought several fruit trees from nurseries. I will inspect each and every one of them before transplanting in the ground.

[@Earthmasters08]

Wonderful!

[@markjardis5393]

Lmao. I literally just bought a peach tree from Lowes’s. Think I was meant to see this today.

[@jtharp9265]

I was told 5 ys ago from fast growing trees we needed 2 trees , 1 died from the freeze we had in 2021 . Got another then that 1 died . Just bought 1 from a farmers lawn & garden in just plastic & branches sticking out . I'm planting IN a big cattle feeder pot & placing it next to the 1 peach that Is beautiful now 5ft . Green but NO FRUIT SO HOPING WITH 2 NEXT SPRING WE GET A HARVEST . GOD BLESS YOU * GOOD LUCK . IM ASKING IF WE REALLY NEED 2 ? AS MY 1 IS SO NICE BUT HASNT PRODUCED ..... BIG HUGS MRS JOSETTE TEXAS

[@carolgraham4642]

Fabulously informative video. Thank you.

[@johnswarthout1962]

Great video! Great teaching! Question: Can we take a tree that is in the beginning stages of this video and and make the repairs then put it in the ground instead of another bigger pot ?

[@HonDon7]

This is great advice! My situation is a little different but I now know what I need to do.

[@MsJacquese99]

My question would be about dwarf trees that are grown in pots. I want to grow a dwarf peach tree on my deck. I would like a dwarf tree and not a semi dwarf tree. I wonder what size pot should be my final size to help minimize the amount of circling in the pot.

[@markcamou3477]

Hello Barry, I have ultra dwarf trees. Peach, plum, Meyer lemon and blood orange. I planted them in large, clay colored plastic pots about 4 years ago. They are still really small. The trees fruit but the fruits grow really small. The lemons usually turn brown and fall off. I use fish / guano emulsion and home made compost for fertilizer and water when the soil looks dry. All on an infrequent scale, nothing to a certain schedule. Also, the Japanese beetles ravage the small fruits. All of this usually happens this time of year in July. The beetles show up now. Even though the beetles eat the small fruit in July, I think the fruit should be much larger by now. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong and how can I keep the pests off the trees without using pesticides? I have seen a burlap mesh material which supposedly keeps the pests out while letting sunlight in. Your thoughts on this?

[@rohini3631]

I bought a small peach tree from Home Depot, it was completely root bound. While transplanting, I had to cut the container to get it out. I had initially transplanted it as is into a bigger container, after watching this video I dug it out and removed the extra roots and trimmed the remaining roots.

[@JayPlateFaceVideos]

How did it work out? Did you do it when it had foliage on it?

[@mjarevirtv2094]

Wow nice beautiful job Watching from California I got new knowledge and I follow your videos

[@Earthmasters08]

Thanks!

[@shannelltownsend6509]

I was given a baby peach sapling in a 5 gallon bucket. It grew organically on its own off of a peach pit in their yard and they dug it up and gave it to me. It’s about 18 inches tall and very leafy but he told me it might be root bound. I’m not sure if this is what I need to do? We are building a house and it’s 20 months away. What size are those containers that you transplanted that tree into? I’m thinking that will be perfect time for it to settle into a new container while our house is being built and then I can transplant it into the ground. Thank you for such an informative video!

[@staceylomas6478]

Hello my name is Stacey and I came across your video well I purchased a peach tree from Lowe's last year and I planted it in the wrong spot which was a low spot in my back yard it holds a lot of water there and didn't know at time of planting it only made 10 peaches this year but they all got witther up and dried the leaves are yellow and some are green and very dry it got like that after a hard rain we had I'm in Louisiana can my tree be save and can it be move right now thank you anything will be helpful I also subscribed to your channel

[@michaelholowati7437]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I am about to transplant my new Elberta Peach Tree and the roots are bound just like this one in your video. I am in zone 8b Oregon City, Oregon, it is November, early winter (mild this year), when would be the best time to complete this process of cleaning the roots and transplanting? Thank you for your time and information. Would you also mind sharing your soil mixture as well?

[@aaronhavens1121]

Is this an issue with pulp (biodegradable) pots as well? Thank you

[@owoodard1110]

👍🏼great instruction my friend❗️ol veteran gardener like myself WILL subscribe 2day..invaluable education indeed,since recently purchased 2 small seedling peach trees- halford & Lovell variety's

[@greg6925]

Glad i watched this before planting my Florida king... I planted a mid pride Florida about 2 months ago, is it to late to build a moat around it?

[@willquinn5147]

So is it better to buy when it's 2-3 feet as opposed to when 5-6 feet??

[@mraereed]

I planted mine last night. I wish I would have seen this first. I did loosen the root ball. A little bit of the dirt was loose will that be okay or should I replant it?

[@JustinSmith1002]

Thanks for the informative video. I just picked up some peach trees today in 7 gal pots. This video has me a little nervous about their condition. Do you have an update to the trees you amended in this video?

[@knewviewyardgarden6431]

We're happy to report that they did miraculous! We put them in the ground a few months ago and will be revisiting them for feeding and pruning since the spring here in NC came early this year!

[@carlasavage9167]

I really enjoyed this segment. Kudos !!!!

[@Earthmasters08]

Awesome, thank you!

[@erwinbrubacker7488]

Wow, rootbound, thanx sir.

[@firstspawn4422]

Great job and thanks for the information.

[@luvminiwheaties]

Why can't the peach tree be planted for 3-6 months just because you cut the roots? What's the difference between the pot and the ground? And if I have to wait that long then what about my customers that wanting planting? Am I not able to buy the plant or tree from the nursery, cut the roots like you did and plant it right away? How do I go about this with customers?

[@Earthmasters08]

Score the root ball on site during transplanting. All new transplants will. need proper TLC

[@johnleccese5532]

Why are the roots left on top?

[@tastaphan]

It’s good to know experienced arborists also forget to check roots. Curious though. If peach trees are supposed to be pruned about 1-2 ft up to have an open canopy, what good is buying a tall peach tree. I’m stuck with a 2 yr old tree which I’ll probably have to cut it all the way back because it has the wrong shape. 😏

[@lydiaahubbell8545]

buy bare root trees from Stark Bros and follow their instructions.,

[@taicronck9559]

I have a peach tree that I need to relocate I live in the Catskills ny and is September of 23 now When can I relocate it safely thank you

[@asondareyes5482]

I received a free peach tree from the city tree give away and it came with flowers. Can I transplant it while there’s flowers? Thank you

[@trumpwon2240]

Yes. And it's best to not let the tree fruit the first year. Trees needs to focus on rooting not fruiting after transplant. Get it in the ground and enjoy the beauty, fruit will come in the next year or two.

[@janetroberts2505]

We brought a peach tree sometime around February,it had lots of leaves and peaches growing on it , read we had to wait fall ant it was dormant so we can plant it in ground , well here it is fall soon winter will be here and we want to plant the tree ,but it is full of leaves still , so can we plant it or wait till it is bare , the peaches were sweet, by the way we brought it from home depot ,what do you recommend for us to do ,any help appreciated, live your video, great info

[@TanyaMarquard]

Hey there, my lime tree has all its leaves at the bottom and barely any at the top, do I prune all the bottom ones off?

[@shellbellxoxoable]

I had a friend that was redoing their backyard landscaping and we’re going to remove two fruit trees that were 3-5 years old. He asked if I wanted them so I went and dug them out as carefully as possible. Will they survive?

[@shellbellxoxoable]

*were going

[@shawnsg]

They should.

[@myhusbandsrib]

Does all of this apply to blueberry bushes too?

[@Earthmasters08]

We apply this format to all of our planted specimens that came from bulk nurseries.

[@souzou1000]

I could never do this my fears are im killing that tree, is there any other way

[@FreeAmerican]

No.

[@any4003]

Hey I know this is an older video but I have a peach tree and a Blum tree I got the everything to transplant it but it's still young and there is a little bit of budding happening should it be safe to transplant at this time

[@Earthmasters08]

You'll be OK! If you kept transplant shock to a minimum for the first 30 - 60 days!

[@wildbearcattv]

my boy sounds like dr. phil

[@clairewithbanjo4992]

I wish I’d seen this 20 minutes ago

[@lydiaahubbell8545]

why don’t they put dirt in the bottom of the pot before putting the tree in, instead of putting the tree in first and burying the collar?

[@Earthmasters08]

They do it so the tree will stand up without tying it

[@lydiaahubbell8545]

@@Earthmasters08 oh, well.

[@dustyflats3832]

I know this is an older post, but I have a couple questions. I could grow peach trees 2 miles away, but not where I am at. Tried several times with bare root. I currently have a desert like micro climate. Is it because it’s too hot and cold? Sandy soil. They generally die off and come from the root and shrub. We installed drip irrigation this year because of drought, but peach already died. This one came with a strange plug for roots-it was weird. Apples, plums, berries are all doing ok. My other issue is a Blaze Maple that was gorgeous 20’ tree and I forgot to cover the trunk in winter and it frost cracked and fell over. Since then it sends up a ton of suckers. I trained one vigorous sucker and it is doing Great, But it still sends up suckers at the base. Is there any way to stop the suckers? Z5a, WI. Crazy weather doesn’t help and this year had late frost after hot weather that broke dormancy and took out a grape and winery lost crop. Thanks for great tips on root bound trees. Sister in law had a locust tree and it was severe. Thank you!

[@cedricnora4481]

Hey, I’m from the U.P, Zone 5a as well! Sounds tough over there but we have similar conditions of soil. If it’s been pretty dry, that might be the issue. They can tolerate the sandy soil if it has enough organic matter to feed on, but if it’s too dry the tree might dry out too quickly, too often. How did that second one pan out with drip, and did you ever get a soil test?

[@KeikoBushnell]

Wow thank you

[@Earthmasters08]

You’re welcome 😊

[@oftin_wong]

One tough tree

[@brianhanrahan7561]

I bought a apple tree from a man who told me to plant it so the soil is just below the graft, so that the stem doesn't branch out below the graft

[@thebluegarden2060]

Hello Berry, you were doing fine transplanting that peach tree too. You said you were made your own dirt and filling out the pot with dirt. My question is why would you use a terminology like dirt? Do you know that dirt is dead it contains nothing no organisms or anything living in soil contains life has nutrients microorganisms, so please tell me why you were used to terminology dirt as an arborist please

[@shawnsg]

Because "dirt" is just a generic term that you're attributing more meaning to than what it has.

[@emformoon]

Oh my god I eat up this content. Please tell me how to save the planet arborist with a ponytail.

[@janetroberts2505]

Sorry by the way we live in central Florida
