Glad it’s helpful.

Great videos! I plan to watch them all. Thanks for making them. Do you think round up persists in the soil? Could you do a video on how long chemical pesticides persist? You said that you use them sparingly. Wondering even if you use them once how long that stay in the soil? Just an idea for a video.

Great videos. thanks for sharing your knowledge. Do you have a remedy to combat Japanese beetles?

Thanks! It took a few years to get things to come together but it’s definitely getting there! Hoping to can some peaches this weekend.

I love the information you are putting out. I have learned so much from just two videos. I was wondering if you think a apricot tree can survive canker? I also have this growth on the same tree in the root area. I was wondering if that is also a form of canker? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You

What sprays did you spray on this tree it is beautiful wish mine looked like that?

Great videos!!! I was wondering how you keep the deer from eating your trees as i did not see any fencing? I have 35 apple trees from 5’ to 12’, if i do not keep a fence around each of then i would not have any trees. Thank you for all the information i have gained from your advice. Really glad i found your web site. Thank you very much…

Couple freedom seeds will keep them away

If a tree hasn't been pruned and needs a lot done, does it matter what time of year you do it? Will pruning at certain times provide more chance for major health issues for the tree?

[@healthyhorticulture]

Major pruning is best done when the trees are dormant

Hi, from Elizabeth: I don't know what's going on with you tube, but I can only locate about six of your videos. It will not bring up any more. I had just watched one of them where you described how to leave wood chips away from the trunk of a tree, but I can't locate it again, and would like to.

I think this is the video you are referring to... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYLanmauaquoa68

Do you mulch in the fall or the spring?

[@healthyhorticulture]

You can mulch at any time of year!

[@corylester1695]

Better to mulch in spring to cover any past years overwintering fungus.
