That's true that zones set for many fruit trees are too conservative and possibly inhibitory to northern growers. I've been growing fruit trees in containers over winter, testing their degree of resilience to Michigan winter zone 5, and found many are fine outdoors with moderate wind chill protection. What I do - since they're in containers - is roll them into a bumper to bumper 'grove' from their summer location, thread those plastic pillow boas they use in packing material around their bases and then drape black landscape cloth in another boa across their soils and then leave them in full sun (with trunk protection) all winter long. Because we have deer and bears, they're looped together in 2x4 hole fencing, and trunks wrapped in paper or painted against rodents (next to a wetlands on one side, and poorly maintained chicken coop next door, we have an abundance of mice around here), and of course against winter sun scald. According to THIS OLD HOUSE, pipe freezing isn't so much temperature dependent as it is drafts and windchill. We see it over lakes where the top freezes but the stillwater underneath doesn't. It's also why watering fruit trees in a freeze actually helps save spur wood. When drafts blow over a copper pipe behind the wall, a crystal starts inside the pipe from wind chill, it grows exponentially throughout within minutes. The soft copper can take it, expanding as needed, but the pressure from the ice dam to the closed faucet increases as much as 20,000 psi, which is just too much for poor little copper pipe to accommodate. In the garden, if dead space is created (still ventilated), even if temps drop, geo helps keep the soil from freezing solid which is why packing boas work. The soil becomes plastic, and maybe even crispy, tho not block solid, and that appears to be true for my zones 7-8 trees in containers even here in zone 5. When there's unseasonable warmth, and threatens premature bud break, I throw shade cloth over them to cool them down, lest they suffer in the inevitable freezing coming later. If bud break is too fast, I flip the container trees sideways and shovel snow over them for insulation and a constant temp of 32F until the heat wave passes. To stop the rodent happy dance, I wrap the branches in landscape cloth to reduce their access from tunnels under snow. When winter becomes winter again, I flip them upright again and let snowfall insulate them. Granted, it's a little fussy but it works. To dwarf non-dwarf fruit trees, I pair them with their pollinator as very young saplings and espalier them together into an inverted cone. Together, they make a manageable, espalier 'vase', with center light access for both trees on the espalier back side. If one tree is sun-neglected, I turn the container so that espalier interior side is facing S/SW. Frankly, I love growing fruit and nut trees in containers, just for the science of it.

You are awesome at what you do. Thank you for your help. I live in a mobile home park and have limited space and love to plant and have fruit trees. I thought I needed to buy dwarf fruit trees, so I could get more different types for small yard. Now I know I can buy a tree and just prune it to the size I want. I made a little compost area with an old plastic pet gates. I put leaves from the yard and kitchen veggie scraps and shredded paper. Do you have a video for backyard compost how to and when you can use it? I'm guessing at this point. I subscribed to you. Looking forward in watching more of your videos.

Thanks for sharing this video, How much water should we give fruit trees like apples and peaches at the end of September to encourage them to go dormant in Southern California? And do we need to water them in the winter months? What about apple and peaches in containers? How much should we reduce their water to make them dormant and do we need water container trees when they are dormant ?

Thank you for these videos! In a backyard setup, how should we space fruit trees? I have a lime, orange, littlecado avocado, guava and I have spaced them at 5-6 ft. I plan to prune them so that the branches don't go into one another & at the same time get a good amount of fruit because I don't have multiple plants of the same variety. Am I going in the right direction?
