Wow! This guy is the G.O.A.T. I live in USDA hardiness zone 8B. I am in the market for apple trees. Besides the wealth of information regarding chill hours and pollination, I learned I had to whitewash my trees. Who knew??? Great channel. I will definitely be subscribing.

[@amazonazapata9424]

What is whitewashing trees??

[@tropicalcoco3164]

@@amazonazapata9424 Whitewash is a white paint mixture to help prevent sunburn in young, newly planted fruit trees to prevent sunburn on young trunks. There are several purposes but the chief among them is to prevent cracking and splitting of the tender new bark, which can allow introduction of disease, insects, and fungus.

This year we had the first bloom and apples are around 1.8 inches in diameter with no pruning or special techniques yet, the tree grew very fast and is over 15 ft high in about 4 years, plan to keep around 14 ft high to allow for more sun since it’s between two houses.

[@toothfullymm]

18:33 you can plant different varieties of apples 24 inches apart which will ripen at different times. Planting tips: always plant on a rise never plant into a depression. Huge advocate of mulching. Fertilizing. Whitewashing helps prevent sun damage and winter stress. Whitewash sold by IV organics. Should whitewash on first day you get plant from a nursery. Manage the size to not have to climb high to pick fruit. In August to October remove the upper growth.

I’m growing a Rome apple tree from seed and want to keep it potted at least until 4 to 5 years. What is best soil for a pot I will grow this tree?

[@elenidemos]

Granny Smith comes from Ryde in the Sydney Australia area. This area is classed as sub tropic and would only get to 100 - 200 hours below 7°c (45°f). It rarely gets below freezing (1 night/decade). It is also one of the most sold trees in Australia. I have one growing in northern Queensland (tropical) & I had to remove over 50 fruits, because the tree has been in the ground for less then a year. My chill hours would be 30-40 & very negative if we use the second system. Our day temps in winter are typically 18-25°c (64-77) but they will commonly exceed 30°c (88°f).

[@graceful8980]

@eleni demos i live in an area with zero chill hours i.e, tropical climate with usda 12 zone and i am thinking of planting anna and dorsett apples what you say or recommend about my thought will it fruit?

[@elenidemos]

@@graceful8980 They are both warmer climate apples (to my knowledge). Most deciduous fruit will flower in tropical regions, they will not set the fruit load as if it was in a cooler climate. But I have had success with apples (3 types), peaches (2 types) & figs (23 types). 2 of the 3 apple types have flowered & set fruit (removed to strengthen grafts). Both peaches have given fruit (only small trees in pots, need to plant out when I get cooler weather). All fig varieties have fruited (unfortunately approx 1/3 of them tend to ripen @ the time of year that I get heavy rainfall, so a little watered down in flavour, but still sweet & nice). My biggest advice is TRY, give them consistent water in your drier periods & fertilize often in small amounts rather then 1-2 times during spring/summer. Because tropical climates DON'T have a true dormancy period, the fertilizer overload can knock them around if done in large amounts.

I checked on DWN's Home Garden catalog page of apples, and two years after this video was posted. the listings for these "high chill" apples remain the same. Why hasn't the information been updated to reflect the findings of this project? Home growers could be encouraged to try so many more varieties if they weren't being led to believe that Arkansas Black "needs" 500-600 chill hours, Red Delicious "needs" 700 chill hours, etc. Does the right hand of DWN not know what the left hand is doing?

I wonder just how accurate the standard chill hour formulas are for low chill areas. For my area the standard models seem not too inaccurate for Zone 8b coastal Northwest Florida. But for other areas that seem more upland to me people report getting trees to fruit in areas of low chill hours. This includes regions of Mexico and Uganda for apples. One factor that may be different is our night time temperatures. During summer for example tomato varieties requiring cooler temperatures at night will not bear tomatoes because our summer night time temps are often too high. Alse we are more humid. To have fruit through much of the year instead of different varieties of apples I plant different species of fruit trees with satsuma and other citrus being my latest crops. Mulberries and loquats are about my earliest. Then blue berries and so on. Then plumbs followed by peaches and then early pears and Anna and Joy apples will follow about the beginning of july. Pears until september. Then persimmons both asian and american, then chestnuts.. Citrus will be the last. I am also trying paw paws.

Sorry guys but fall winter Santa Ana winds may not damage things with the cold but the extremely low humidity will suck the life right out of trees and plants watering is a must during these times especially avocados by keeping my avocados hydrated I can keep the leaves on with the winds hittting 60mph in the wind tunnel of my microclimate jurupa valley Southern California

Sir, My name is Ani gopinath I am from India,I would like to know about Apple cultivation, in our region (tropical) we don't have any chiill hours,I have already planted some low chilling variety. Sir,my question is if we grow the apple varieties like gala, Granny Smith (chilling hour's near to 500) in polyhouse with regulated temperature to obtain the requirements, kindly advise...

Is there not a way to order directly from DWN?? I went on the website to try to see prices but nothing.Went to the mail orders thinking I would find prices there, nothing. I'm guessing this website is not for the backyard grower...

I really have no patience to watch this to its entirety because it just went on and on...43 minutes. So, what was the verdict in regard to growing apples in zone 9? A brief to the point.

[@cassianyhvh7220]

I understand this doesn't apply to ALL non-apple fruit trees, but any ideas on which fruit trees to experiment with? Pears are close relatives to apples so that might be one. Anyone else want to chime in on what other fruit trees to try this with, or which ones to not waste your time with?

[@charliemagoo7943]

Cherry supposedly sweet ones have to have more chill and sour are lower chill

We live in 9b and pears trees grow huge and really produce completely unattended.

[@cassianyhvh7220]

@@megastick9324 Awesome, can you tell me what variety of pear does that well in 9B ?

[@megastick9324]

@@cassianyhvh7220 I actually don’t know the variety. These trees were planted many years ago all around the little town we live in. They’re 20+ ft high. Our nearby neighbors had a big one and the new owners didn’t know it was a pear and cut it down. They were understandably bummed when we told them what it was. It was scraggly from neglect and had no leaves at the time.

[@cassianyhvh7220]

@@megastick9324 When and if I plant my own pear trees, imma prune them to have mostly horizontal branches so they produce all their pears at a height I can reach. If you do it right ...NO LADDERS ! So no fall risk and easy peasy pickin'

Good information...super

Can apple grow in southwest Nigeria? Am experimenting it though. I saw a video where they advise you; 1. Put the seeds in water. 2. Filter out the floating seeds. 3. Soak them in water for 16 to 24hrs. 4. Get a wet tissue paper, arrange the seeds in it, cover it and moisturise the tissue paper very well, keep in fridge. 5. Transfer to soil when you notice it germinating. I did this with 15seeds, only one making attempt but ....... Am starting again with another 15seeds following same process. Can apple grow in a hot weather like Nigeria (south west) where temperature is always between 31 to 37°c? Thanks!!!

[@EmmanuelAchileIdoko]

Apple grows here if you get the grafted one from some agriculturists in Nigeria.

[@EmmanuelAchileIdoko]

@@GreatBASHY where is your location?

[@shellymorris2748]

You have the Wambugu apple that you can buy plants from Kenya. Check Kate the Apple Farmer on KZbin for info.

[@GreatBASHY]

@@shellymorris2748 Kenya? Nah! That's too far for me. Am not buying anything outside Nigeria. This is where am planting it, better to get same from here too. Thanks though! Not interested.

[@laracrock]

Didn't see any report on Apples that did well on the DW website. Call him up and tell him to get on it.

Good advice for plants and baby bottoms, Keep them dry. My son used to get boils When he was in diapers, After he went to the hospital once, I started slathering on the butt cream at every diaper change, That made a huge difference
