I pruned my persimmons the way you've shown a couple of months ago, and now they're full of baby fruit... specifically a huge-fruit variety that last year gave me only 3 fruits, now has over 200 baby persimmons on it. Thanks again for the great content.

[@perfectaart7354]

I have been in school and working and therefore am behind on watching your videos but I just wanted to touch base and thank you for such an amazing job. I am retired from Television and am in a second profession in Business Management and therefore wanted to comment on your productions. I believe that Tuck and yourself as Executive producers have accomplished a lot. Your photographer if you have a behind-the-scenes photographer, does an amazing job and your edits and final productions are spot on. That is just recognizing your work in addition to your topic and experience as well as your presentations and results of your work. Super all around. Way to go Tuck and James.

[@BeverleyW]

I completely agree. James and Tuck have grown this channel so much over the years - it is fascinating to watch through from the oldest videos and see how much they have learned themselves from growing the Food Forest and the channel too.

[@ThirdCoastGardening]

I planted a Meyer lemon tree and redbud tree in pots yesterday for Gardening For Mental Health Day in memory of my brothers.

[@StayPrimal]

I live in 4a zone and today I finally was able to start my cold tolerant seeds indoor to transplant in 2 weeks. Been waiting for this for so long !!! And i'm also getting like 8 fruit trees next week for the food forest, so incredibly exciting. Thank you James you have been an inspiration in my projects.

[@viridianhughes219]

So much wisdom in a garden. It’s mind-blowing.

[@t4x4taurus]

For trees/plants that require 2 varieties of 2 trees to be present, you can also graft a branch from another tree onto your tree. It will make it self pollinating

[@galamander_1327]

That was one of my questions. Thanks for the info.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Yes, as long as it’s a fruit that blossoms at the same time.

[@t4x4taurus]

So long as the species are in the same family, they can be grafted, but it will not make it self pollinating unless they are in the same season. There is a doctor out of university of Syracuse who has done incredible things with grafting where because of the variety on the same tree, it produces from different branches all year long

[@deborahfont8697]

James, you are an encyclopedia. You give us so much information that we just cant fail at growing amazing food. Thank you for documenting and finding ways for all of us to succeed. Tuck looks really good.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Got my shirt a few days ago and already got a few compliments from random strangers!

Plums are another you need to 2 of to cross pollinate. From what I’ve read, pears tree can go either way. Glad to see tuck running around and doing good!

Nice. Thanks for mentioning late frosts. We had an unusually warm march/April with normal cold in between. Early flowering and the cold got them. It seems to happen every year now and my 4 year old Saturn peaches have never gotten past that...boo hoo.....am thinking of replacing them?

[@snowren8137]

Hi James a friend suggested painting a ring around the trunk of Vaseline on apple trees as it stops the coddling moth grubs from climbing up to the fruit

Fantastic Information thank you so much! Thank you Ben & Mary of Simply Citrus for referring to James Pusiani!

[@k-sell4065]

I did and experiment with ground up strained turmeric and diluted the turmeric juice and filled my pump sprayer and sprayed a section of my fruit trees because they had green fungus all over the branches as well as the trunks of the trees. Three days later it was all gone. I also thought to add some to my watering jug that I water the plants to prevent the fungus from re Accuracy. So far so good!😊

James, brown rot hit me hard last year. I’ve read that it actually starts it’s cycle as soon as the blooms appear, from any left over brown rot apples laying on the ground or even still in the tree. So this year I have started a strict fungal spray plan to hopefully prevent it. Because even Liberty, the most disease resistant apple available to most consumers, are susceptible to this fungal disease.

I grow in central Florida. So, I'm a little jealous at the fruit trees you have. The heat and intensity of the sun prevent us from growing the largest varieties of even a tomato without special precautions. The good thing here, though, is we can grow year round. Thanks for all the information you give us. May not be in my growing zone, but I always learn something new. Happy gardening to ya.
