How To Prune Young Fruit Trees

[@dorjon6121]

I have just now ‘unsaved’ most of the other pruning videos I had kept ! Your combined explanation and demonstrative videography are very clear indeed👏👏👍

[@a.kay.c]

This was very helpful because you explained the "why". It's hard to learn if you don't know why you are supposed to do something. Thank you!!

[@SideChey831]

Seeing an illustration was way more helpful than seeing people cut actual trees. Thank you!

[@BrockOBauma]

One of the better pruning videos I've watched.

[@alexv259]

I’ve seen many pruning videos of so many presenters. Yet, this video is the first one that instead of going crazy with a knife and keep cutting the entire tree into a single stick nude standing on the ground; this lady with cute EU accent first talks about why branches needs to be cut! And she does it with a low ink red pen. She says why that cut needs to take place. 🤙🤙👌👌👌

[@danielshoudy265]

I love it when people break down the why(s) to something like this. I'm so glad I found this. I had a pretty good idea of how to prune my ridiculously overproductive young apple tree (I swear it's importing plant steroids in the middle of the night).. But this just made me understand it full circle. Thank You! Danke! (Hope I guessed that correctly lol)

[@brandilee520]

Great video. Probably the best explanation one I've seen. One more tip I would add is to rinse your pruners in a diluted bleach solution between trees to avoid spreading any disease from one to the other. 🌳

[@pamelah6431]

Or just carry a bottle of lysol.

[@wemuk5170]

I don’t have bleach. Can I use pure alcohol like the solution we use for covid and hospital?

[@someoneinthecrowd4313]

@@wemuk5170 Yes.

[@ddubsr5886]

I have searched for hours and hours on your tube trying to understand what you so simply explained in 10 minutes! Thank you for making this video! I am early in my journey and it was intimidating to prune but this gave me confidence!

[@agatabilltopay8822]

I started trimming my pear tree today. I finally found your video. Very informative and I also like the fact that you explain why we should cut or keep a branch. Today, I cut only the -sick branches of the tree. Tomorrow i will follow your guidelines! Thank you!

[@lindayuknevich6200]

Really .....one of the best videos very educational! Thank you so much!

[@coreyslee1079]

Best video on KZbin for pruning. Explained why and went through the drawing, real life, etc. Well done..

[@RoseJackson79]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge. Now I at least know where to begin with my plum tree.

[@cmac1100]

This has got to be in my favorites playlist! I have always wondered about pruning trees and there is a lot of good info here. Also, that's a really good drawing of a tree.

[@mefirst4266]

YOU ARE THE BEST PRUNING TEACHER I HAVE FOUND SO FAR !!! LUV YA... SO I THOUGHT I HAD EXPLAINED THIS VERY DETAILED TO MY WIFE.... WHEN I GOT HOME TODAY I HAD ONE BRANCH STICKING UP. I GUESS MY WIFE THOUGHT ALL THE OTHER BRANCHES WERE COMPETITORS ON MY CHERRY TREE THAT I HAVE BEEN BABYING FOR 5 YEARS........... I AM SURE SHE WILL DO BETTER ON THE PEAR TREE !!!!!!!

[@nadfoy]

Good job and nice concept on fruit trees pruning! Thanks.👏👍🙏

[@arboristprotrees9766]

Very well done for using drawings. I agree with your ideas.

[@alicepettit164]

As a visual learner this is 1st of last 10 beginning pruning videos that makes solid sense. Tu

[@davidoyama9753]

I also do a lot of fine pruning and you did a great job to explain the basics of pruning ! 👍 Thanks for making this vlog !

[@zemstone]

Best pruning video i've found, thank you!

[@krysthanh8932]

That's amazing girl ! 1 very detailed instructional video.

[@michaelparker4998]

This is the best pruning video I have seen so far. I loved the drawings first. Much easier to see and understand. Will start on my apples tomorrow (winter in New Zealand)

[@richardpalmer1967]

Excellent video and advice! Many thanks.

[@rahulmehta3588]

One of the best to the point video. With no uncesseray jabber at all. Well done from India.

[@olumbafamilyfaith9396]

this deserves a million views! best presentation i’ve seen

[@edb7642]

This is really helpful. The beginning drawings, and then the actual pruning, was very instructional. Thank you.

[@jamesu3346]

This is a surprisingly excellent video explanation.

[@ROBDee-ho9lu]

agree

[@2891michaelk]

Thanks for the details. What to cut why to cut it and what is going to happen from the cut. Best video I seen yet.

[@keithosterkamp6207]

Very good presentation. You did a great job explaining the whys and the nuances of how. I feel pretty confident now that I’m not going to mess up my trees.

[@e1nherjar1]

This video is awesome! Thank you for the effort! The tree diagram was just what I needed to understand it better. This is one of the best videos on pruning I have seen on KZbin!

[@charles_wipman]

It's much easyer to understand what's the goal explained on 2D, on 3D... it's very hard to me to see it for myself; but now that i've seen the theory in 2D... i think that i'd get the theory, and in case of doubt... i always can comeback to your video to refresh the lesson. Very clear explanation, many thanks. Also, i like your meows; even when you seem to have the same "success" than me with my own cats, that look at me like.. "what are you doing!? don't you see that we're trying to sleep, punk??", that was great heh. >>;-)

[@terber12392]

This is the BEST video on pruning fruit trees to keep them small! Best I have ever seen, thank you!

[@chelseasmith1025]

This is the best explanation I've seen on how to prune young fruit trees. Thank you!

[@fara2548]

I've watched many pruning videos, but yours by far is the best one yet! Thank you

[@docbrooks1098]

Excellent video! Thank you. As others have said, thank you for explaining the "why" not just the how. The drawing and then live demonstration was perfect.

[@karaleve6]

Those drawings and explanations have been the best I've seen so far. Thank you so much. Hope to get some edible cherries this year on my trees. Great job!

[@a090006]

Thank you ! This is the first and best explanation ,why and how , you have to cut them back.

[@drivingcanada8370]

Fantastic pruning lesson, thanks for the amazing drawings

[@rahatullah6255]

Very nicely explained... Especially the diagram part... Well i belong to a farming family but for the second year i destroyed my fruit trees successfully and now i wached this video... Thanks lady, you could have made a nice school teacher..

[@doobyboop]

Very well explained, wish I found this before I hacked at my tree

[@PlantitaCraftie]

Very informative! Having just purchased a few fruit trees recently, I learned something new today. Thanks from Rose - Melbourne, Aus.

[@FrauWNiemand]

Good explanation. Can you show this again next year, when the branches grown again? So we can see how the branches worked out. I recently made a video about cutting wine vines, but I never tried fruit trees cause they are much more complicated. Maybe I will try it this year after watching your video.

[@rosiehirst2139]

Thank you Lilly for explaining & demonstrating in such a straight forward way. Very helpful for a beginner.

[@mudpiemudpie785]

Most helpful fruit tree pruning video I've watched. Thanks.

[@helenmcgill5563]

Thank you from Australia, very helpful before I do my first pruning. 👍

[@paulcasd]

Thank you very much for your time and effort in making this great lesson in pruning, and you explained clearly the reasons and intentions for the cuttings. I learned a lot from your knowledge, and will watch this video again and again to get the technique right. Again, thank you.

[@Mhd-ef3tc]

thank you Lilly so much, great video ,This is the best pruning video I have seen so far.

[@WinterLove13]

Thank you so much. I’ve just bought a cherry tree and will also be having a plumb and an apple. They’re not dwarf but I want to keep them at a manageable height. Your video is the first I came across and so easy to understand. I’ll be back to rewatch in the autumn or spring when my trees will need a bit of managing. Thank you.

[@anilkapur1584]

Explained in detail, just like in a classroom. Definitely watch this video.

[@robertyoungman9551]

Thank you. Good info. It is -28 degrees Fahrenheit here Minnesota. Maybe I will wait a few days before trimming my fruit trees. You make me think of Spring.

[@lulo1328]

One of the best explanations on KZbin explaining the pruning; this was great, thnks!

[@awkward-stranger]

You are like a surgeon, not my surgeon but a good surgeon! Thanks

[@TOTALLYAWESOMECARPET]

This is an amazing video, thank you for shareing. I'm been trying to learn how to trim a tree for forever. I finally have the confidence to try it myself. Thank you.

[@Waldhandwerk]

Das war hoch Interessant liebe Lilly! Danke für´s zeigen! Beste Grüße Sepp

[@AnnLippert1]

I'm watching from Las Vegas! I have 2 Meyer lemon trees in my backyard. In 5 years they are doing OK. But not great. This video is helpful.

[@offgridsweden]

Really great video. Glad that I found your gardening channel. I'm also in to gardening and greenhouses. Have made videos on building and growing. Looking forward to the next video. Have an amazing week, Andreas 🇸🇪

[@SurvivalLilly]

Thanks for watching Andreas

[@ccccclark2605]

I'm going to trim my potted citrus trees like this. I bought/planted them with super good soil in March 2021. They grew straight up, healthy, HUGE, big leaves. No flowers/fruit this year. Hope I get flowers/fruit next year. Ty for excellent info! It's September 2021.

[@ROBDee-ho9lu]

success!

[@denisejones3316]

I got a top tip from a farmer also trained in tree care -rub soil onto the raw cuts to prevent infection as it seals them

[@afghanchildren4525]

i have watched too many videos on this topic but haven't learned anything but your video was wonderful especially with the theory option which was great thank you very much great job.

[@brianathompson1012]

Really helpful video! Thank you so much. Pruning never made sense to me before.

[@paulbocking3397]

Very helpful and explained beautifully the best Ive seen to date thank you

[@farhatshah3759]

The best ever vedio ,thanks a lot . I have great passion for gardening. I think pruning skill a prerequisite skill for that.

[@badmintonalaninpomonacaliforni]

Thank you for making the video very informative great illustration love your accent and love your video and love you too thanks again

[@MingWLee]

I totally agree with you, pruning a tree is necessary before spring comes in. And it is important upon the yield of that fruit tree.

[@Stu-Vino]

Such a useful video that explains the whole process - thank you!

[@tommgeo]

This is the best pruning video. Thank you.

[@werayuthasasana7578]

It's​ easy​ to​ understand.​ Thank​ you.

[@loneforest6541]

That drawing method is awesome, made it easy to understand. Mew Mew 😻

[@jodyk4949]

Really good video explaining and drawings helped too! Thank you 🙏

[@breakit2makeit393]

Best video ive watched to date. Very well presented and explained. Helped alot. Thanks

[@patriot77185]

Thank you. Also watch you videos on what's happening in Austria. Thanks again.

[@lightmyway1327]

Thank you so much the drawing makes it look so much easier, my tree is Victoria plum and growing out of control so I need to prune it. I'm terrified I do something wrong and kill it.

[@theleastcreative]

You're an amazing explainer! thank you so much

[@Panhorst]

Thank you for uploading. This is the easiest to understand demonstration on the subject. God bless you.

[@darrynyeeful]

Thank you for explaining WHY on every step!

[@sheikhhaq7441]

Best explanation, was going through lots of videos how to prune until i seen this video. GUESS I have all the information i need to know for pruning 😊

[@MrEverth007]

Very informative. Thank you. I am going to be prunning my fruit trees like this now

[@daviddeane3163]

I've been following your survival series for some time and had no idea you had this channel as well! What a great surprise! Why hasn't this channel ever been recommended by KZbin? I watch gardening channels all the time. Anyway, again, I'm so glad I found this. Thank you and keep up the excellent work you do. (the 37 dislikes as of 11/2020 are complete idiots)

[@oftenwrongphong]

Fantastic explanation. The drawing helps a lot. Thank you.

[@akashanee3048]

That was so informative!!!! Thank you so much

[@kellytong5441]

Wow, this is one of the best young fruit tree pruning videos there is. May I ask how do you identify the "competitor" of a leading branch? Is it the one that's immediately below the leading branch? Thank you so much!

[@ianpentz3340]

Great knowledge and instructional skills, thanks you.

[@MrVinsparks]

I am confused whether you are a processor or engineer in your profession.... Excellent way of explanation and walking through each and ever criteria , design & execution........Thanks for this detailed enough. Good that I could able to come to your channel. Thanks

[@terianderson7951]

This was really helpful! Thank you so much!

[@spacemanmoe5622]

Thanks Lilly you just helped me save my lemon tree.

[@jimtalor7971]

Thank you Lily,I always enjoyed your outdoor adventures and how you explained things same way with this video. Subd and liked!

[@patriciaendris925]

Great information and how to presentation. Thank you

[@odyfern7778]

Thanks, great job explaining

[@gabecoronel1571]

Best explanation I've seen, thank you Lilly ;)

[@mohammedalwatik3473]

Good explanation and teaching Thank you for that

[@SeahorseWorkshop]

Really great video. I like the details. Book knowledge and actual work. Keep up the good work. Liked and subscribed. Do you have a video on pruning shrubs?

[@rebekahmanning3709]

Thank you! Best one I have seen so far!

[@aarde7036]

Nicely explained, thank you! Only thing I may have missed is the WHEN. It's the third of september, I have a very small appletree (a bit over 1 meter) and the 10 apples on it are almost ready to harvest. Can I prune afterwards or do I have to wait till next spring?

[@chrisj7663]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks !

[@alexv259]

I forgot to mention I’m very new to gardening, while knowing very dangerously low understanding of bonsai “training” concept! So instead of cutting my apple tree branches as an option, I do my best in changing/training branches to change their growth direction orientation. I mainly use small amount of weight like christmas tree ornaments hangings from different branches. I also use copper wiring if needed more force lasting 1-2 weeks.

[@RP_67]

Thanks for the cutting tips, i have only my balcony. But for some reason those 'sticks' i have take for support to my sunflowers last summer and before that, have start to grow on their own. So i have now 2 little trees growing in balconyboxes, dont know what type are before starting to bloom some summer i hope. Waiting for the springtime, its here sooner than we know =)

[@Thevoicefromwithout]

Super! Clear and precise.

[@mam564]

This was an EXCELLENT video! Thank you, so much!

[@MacMcNurgle]

Thanks Lilly. I am very interested in espalier. With a small backyard this might be of interest to you too. My mom was a passionate gardener. She would clean her secateurs between plants to minimise spreading issues from plant to plant. My mum would also make me clean up the cut-offs so that they were not places were disease could find a purchase in the garden. These twigs became kindling for the regular BBQ. Great to see the tags on the plants. Very smart. Would be really interested in a follow-up video when the trees fruit. From Brisbane, Qld - Australia.

[@SurvivalLilly]

Thanks for your comment. Greetings from Austria

[@mariau8861]

Thank you. This video made it very clear how to prune my fruit trees 😊👍

[@elsagallipeau499]

Great video! Now, I know how to prune my trees. Thanks
