Do you grow mangoes there ? Does Tom Spellman have a KZbin channel?

Tom Spellman is the man! My backyard fruit tree guru. 😀

Tom IS the man. His videos got me planting fruit trees 11 years ago, and I would wait anxiously for every new vid to come out. It's been great to be able to connect with him on this. 😃

I grew a semi dwarf Jonathan apple in the very same sunlight exposure. It was soooo prolific for over 30 yrs!! Thank you so much for this info for those of us who have limited space and sun exposure for our trees. I'm in Escondido.

It's amazing how different trees respond to dappled/shady spots! I was grateful to have Tom chime in on this topic most people don't often consider.

@TheBusyGardener yes.. love Mr. tom Spellmans input on fruit trees, such valuable knowledge he shares with us. I have a few trees from Dave's Nursery. Thank you for this video.

What about avocados, which are so sensitive to sunburn? Would morning light and dappled afternoon light be enough?

I live in Las Vegas. I am learning to use the shade to protect mid-summer peaches. 110+ heat can really harm ripening fruit.

I've heard that Panamint is not a good tasting fruit. Apparently the birds wont even eat it. Doubt more sun will help with the taste. Double delight is said to be the best yellow nectarine for So Cal.

It was legitimately bitter and not very good in the shade. With more sunlight on the tree, the fruit grew tasty this season! That said, I FAR prefer double delight, and especially Spice-Zee Nectaplum to most other peachy fruit we've got growing.

I found out It takes exrea steps/ far more work to use T-grafting onto peach trees. The bark does not separate easily/ cleanly like apple tree bark seems to. I have to use a X-acto knife to peal the bark back, then scrape the rest of the bark off the white solid part of the tree before I can put in the scion. It still seems it will likely work. I will see soon.

how do you transplant a dragon fruit plant from store bought to a trellis? It comes as a plant and do you break it up and plant on all sides? thts a video that is worth watching

@yzerman123 2 ай бұрын

It's a bit misleading to say that you can prune a nectarine any time. If you prune after it goes dormant for the winter, you may be removing the buds that will give fruit when it awakes. If you want to shrink your tree, best to prune in late summer so it has time to produce more buds for next year.

Most comments I hear from people in person and online are "when is it ok to prune my tree?" My answer is that it's almost always OK to prune your tree, in that you're not going to kill it by pruning winter/summer/etc. There are definite trade offs depending on when you prune, but I don't want someone to be fearful about making pruning cuts "at the wrong time"

Can i give the plant light exposure from light bulb? Do it will help sweeten the taste?

@TheBusyGardener 4 ай бұрын

It's possible, but it'll be difficult to produce enough light energy to compete with what the sun would be providing

I purchased a multi-variety pluot tree from the company Tom works for after discovering him on KZbin. I've had the tree for 5 years now, and it has never set fruit. Zone 7b, correct amount of chill hours, full sun. Sooooo disappointing. The other fruit trees I've purchased that came from the company Tom works for, have all done well.
