Pruning Fruit Trees | The 2 MAIN PRUNING CUTS

[@JSacadura]

KZbin is adding a new automatic Auto-Dubbing feature when a new video is uploaded. I made a video showing the 2 main types of pruning cuts that you need to learn to keep your fruit trees healthy and productive to test this new feature. I'm afraid that, with the more technical language these videos have, the auto-dubbing will be in most cases funny and in others just annoying. If you use this feature let me know what you think. I would much rather have the option to include my own voice over using the multi-audio track option others channels have access to. I could do it in Portuguese, Spanish and French besides English, and it would probably be more accurate regarding technical terms but, unfortunately, I don't have access to this feature. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to help the channel grow. Share the video and leave a comment. I will try to answer as many questions as I can. Thanks for watching. _________________________________________________________ KZbin está añadiendo una nueva función de doblaje automático cuando se sube un nuevo vídeo. Me temo que, con el lenguaje más técnico que tienen estos vídeos, el doblaje automático será en la mayoría de los casos gracioso y en otros simplemente molesto. Si utilizas esta función, cuéntame lo que piensas. Preferiría tener la opción de incluir mi propia voz en off utilizando la opción de pistas de audio múltiples a la que tienen acceso otros canales. Podría hacerlo en portugués, español y francés además de inglés, y probablemente sería más preciso en cuanto a términos técnicos, pero, lamentablemente, no tengo acceso a esta función. No olvides darle me gusta y suscribirte para ayudar a que el canal crezca. Comparte el video y deja un comentario. Intentaré responder tantas preguntas como pueda.

I would much prefer to hear your voice than a computer voice. I have no trouble understanding what you mean to say.

[@krzysztofszczepanski8597]

I like your English way more than some AI crap served by Google

Yo lo escucho en ingles y me parece muy bien, a veces uso el traductor leído y se entiende perfectamente. Muchas gracias por compartir😍😍

[@travelinventor9422]

No matter what you should make your videos with some original voice, if it is Portuguese that's your decision and I am not sure if I will suffer the learning curve from my learning Brazilian Portuguese to re learning Portuguese Portuguese, but the benefits of having your videos translated into many languages could help millions.

[@farminfabrication2208]

Great to have you making videos again J, I hope you are well.

[@JSacadura]

A few issues are still slowing me down a bit but I'm pushing through! Thanks for the nice comment.

I love your videos and always share them with my gardener friends. You have such great visuals of the subject so even new people can understand and follow your guidance on their trees. Thank you for sharing with us here on KZbin!🙏🏻

Perfect timing. I have several fruit trees to prune.

[@JSacadura]

Perfect! Hope it was helpful.

[@PeterEntwistle]

Fantastic video as always! Lots of helpful tips!

[@gw8331]

I have a question... could you please share with me how you make your graft sealing paste? Is it something that can be made at home or should i putchase it somewhere? And if so could you recommend a brand or type you would recommend? Thank you so much and thank you for your wonderful videos. You are a great mentor to us all!

[@JSacadura]

I'm using a store bought one (brand Arbokol - a synthetic resin). I don't know if its available outside my area, but most commercial pruning pastes are fine. Just avoid the tar based ones. If you want to make your own, you can do it easily. Just mix oil (like, olive oil) with grated bees wax (for instance, from a candle made of beewax). Melt the wax inside the oil using vapor (use a double boiler). Add a few drops of an essential oil (like, tea tree oil) to act as an antiseptic. The paste will be solid at room temperature, like a shoe polish. For a softer paste, use more oil (1 part wax to 2 parts oil will be softer). The web is filled with different recipes using different oil, wax mixtures (canola oil, linseed oil, paraffin wax, etc.). I promised to do a video about it a couple of years ago, but I got side stepped and never got to do it.

[@ROBERTELECTRIC1]

Thanks you always amazing video. You helped me to do lots of gardening. Now I love my small garden. God bless you

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the nice comment.

[@jonnsmusich]

Prefer to hear your voice. Auto dubbing can add nothing. Most useful and informative videos. My orchard thanks you. Peaches, Pears, Cherries ancient apples, many I grafted, and plums.

[@JSacadura]

Awesome, thank you! Glad my videos helped. Auto-dubbing might help viewers from other countries that prefer to view a video on their own language. Too bad I can't upload my own dubbed audio track for some of the languages I speak, at least for now.

[@seowriter]

[@nommindymple6241]

I sure wish my pear trees looked like yours. This was our first year here, and every pear tree branch grows straight up. I did my best with a winter pruning last year to remove the old growth like that. But, still, all the new branches turned straight up immediately after they appeared.

[@JSacadura]

Creating an open vase in pear takes patience and several years. You can also do some summer pruning to control excessive regrowth, always pruning to an outside facing bud to open the tree. Forcing some branches in a more horizontal position, by tying them down, can also help. Or you can decide to use the Central Leader shape (much easier to do, with the tendency of vertical growth that pears have).

[@edwinnunez2295]

Excelente ya publicó videos en español. Gracias. Un saludo desde Ecuador 🇪🇨

[@JSacadura]

Es posible porque KZbin habilitó el doblaje automático. Esperemos que la traducción automática no sea demasiado mala.

[@jeffreyjann1263]

Maybe a camera angle from atop a ladder looking down. We used to train dogs like that. The camera lady on the ladder so she would not get bitten. The camera angle high to low inside the vase shape might be really fun! Great job.!

[@JSacadura]

I used some old footage to make this video to test the auto-dubbing feature. Newer pruning videos, like this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIHck4NqfZyfjbssi=0YZYm19PT0Zdb6Yo&t=404 have more camera angles and even a few top angles (hand held). In a fig tree pruning video I even tried a top view from a drone to show before and after, but the quality of the footage was not great. I might try that again the next time I prune my trees (next month).

[@davidpatrick1813]

tanks... I got 13 grafts on 1 apple tree last year (first try) and lots of top shoots too high many many.. out I cut them all off ... dec now. I thought I was topping the main branches but lots came on as you said,, .. so those shoots .. I guess all should be cut off.

[@JSacadura]

Vertical growing shoots are usually all removed. When talking about grafts that grow vigorously, they should be headed at the desired height, so new branches can grow from the buds below the cut. When multiple branches grow from the graft and you want to control vigor, prune to a weak side branch as I show in the video. Check my video on "Summer Pruning your Grafts" for a few more tips and examples - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5SyqJejnpt3f68

[@davidpatrick1813]

[@Gyspeking]

Hello, thank you for the series of videos about pruning, I’ve learned a lot thanks to your channel! I have a question regarding bad positioned branches, especially the one at 3:32, I don’t understand why this branch is bad positioned, if you could please elaborate further on that, thank you in advance

[@JSacadura]

That branch was growing towards the space between the rows of trees. If left unpruned it would, eventually, start blocking the passage for tractors and other machinery. If the tree was planted on a backyard orchard, I would probably leave the branch untouched.

[@juangfedz]

Hola José, gracias por el vídeo. Después de haber visto la versión original en inglés he visto el doblaje automático. No está del todo mal, pero al igual que ocurre con los subtítulos confunde términos que pueden generar confusión. No es nada grave, pero sí que conviene tenerlo en cuenta. Todo un placer poder volver a contar con tu trabajo, un saludo afectuoso.

[@JSacadura]

También me pareció razonable, a pesar de la traducción literal de la mayoría de los términos técnicos. Muchas gracias. Un cordial saludo.

[@MrDudaro]

¿Podrías decir qué portainjerto utilizas para los manzanos?

[@JSacadura]

M106, M7 and M26. El M106 lo utilizo en suelos arcillosos que tienden a frenar el crecimiento del árbol, que permanece pequeño en esas condiciones. El M7 y el M26 los utilizo en suelos de mejor calidad, pero necesitan soporte.

[@lifeofintention4711]

Thank you kinldly for this video once again. My mother has some very old peach trees that were neglected from a very young age. When she purchased the place some people tried to prune them a bit, but did it wrong. She has always had very long branches with around 6m growth in a season, which makes the tree almost impossible to net from birds. Wanting to cut back her trees to a manageable size, this year I heavily pruned one of the trees in early spring, after good sap flow had started. I took it back to 3 branch stumps and it had now grown for around 4 months. I have pruned again, clearing the shoots I did not want and I am fanning the tress with rope to try and give it the shape that is suitable for reaching fruit next season. I am concerned that they will carry too much fruit and snap at the unions. When do I cut these branches off shorter, end of summer / autumn when dormant, prior to dormancy, or next spring? If it tries to grow too vigorously I will need to sincture it next spring. Any tips of times to prune for various trees would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@LEGOLAS-xi2ew]

i never miss your vedios and Can you show us a medium density apple orchard with out support or tryllis trees that have been pruned?

[@JSacadura]

Check my Pruning videos playlist - www.youtube.com/@JSacadura/playlists. In the videos where I talk about tree shapes I show several examples of commercial orchards with different types of pruning. I think some may correspond to what you want to see.

[@andrejofak4787]

Hi great, do you use pruning paste for bigger cuts? Do you use it on fig trees? If so do you have a DIY pruning paste recipe.

[@JSacadura]

Yes, I do. Rarely on fig trees (in most cases, the flow of sap is so intense, that the tree covers the wound on its own). Regarding pruning paste, here's what I reply on the same question: I'm using a store bought one (brand Arbokol - a synthetic resin). I don't know if its available outside my area, but most commercial pruning pastes are fine. Just avoid the tar based ones. If you want to make your own, you can do it easily.

[@drefhill]

Have you tryed that chinese pruner that cut in U, V or Omega ? To cut for graftings of course, not for pruning.

[@JSacadura]

Yes, I have. Unless you are doing the same repetitive task, bench grafting hundreds of plants, all of the same diameter, those tools don't adapt well to the different situations we face, when grafting on our orchard. It's best to get a good grafting knife and learn the proper techniques. Practice makes perfect.

[@kirkdietz6910]

Thankyou J i always am too timid to take to much off

[@JSacadura]

A conservative approach is always the safe option, but trees are resilient and you can guide them to the desired shape with the correct techniques.

I always prune my trees then go back and have another look a few days later, it helps.

Hello Sir, do you have a technique or recommendations for successful rooting wood cuttings?

[@paul.1337]

What rootstocks do you use on your smaller sized pear trees?

[@JSacadura]

Most pear trees were bought in local nurseries and they tend to buy from producers that graft in selected cultivars of quince. These have medium compatibility with most common pear cultivars and some can reduce vigor to half compared to using seedlings of Pyrus sp. as rootstocks. Although most of the older trees I have bought didn't mentioned the cultivar, they probably are grafted in BA-29 type quince, since its one of the fewest quince rootstocks that resist root asphyxiation - one of the problems of planting in clay soils, like I have. Other trees don't do so well, in m y soil, so they are probably grafted in other quince selections (like Sydo or EMC, that produce smaller trees).

Do you have any experience grafting apple scions onto crabapple trees? If not, do you know anyone who does have this experience? Thank you for your time.

[@JSacadura]

I haven't done it myself but the same techniques I show in my grafting videos, like the whip and tongue will work since most crabapple tree will be compatible with common apple varieties. Here's a discussion in a forum regarding that subject with some grafting success examples - growingfruit.org/t/grafting-to-crabapple-trees/28396/7

[@geologotejano]

I grafted about ten scions into our mature crab apple. Almost all took. Only problem was parafilm on one branch that did not disintegrate. This it appears moisture accumulated and it got infected. I had to cut a large-ish branch off last summer. That’s ok it’s all a fun experiment! … Two years in and have a fruiting spur on an Akane. It’s amazing how a graft calluses over. Pls let me know what you try!

[@rob4263]

@geologotejano Hello, thanks for the reply. This past spring, i grafted a bunch of apple scions onto a Pacific crabapple tree (aka swamp crab). I'm a rookie grafter, so not all survived, but many did and I am shocked by how well the graft healed and some scions grew about 3.5 feet!!! The swamp crab trees im grafting onto are mature trees im guessing 25 years old ish. I cut the swamp crabs back by 50-80% and the one I cut back about 80% I thought was going to kill it. Nope, the scions are thriving to say the least. Incredible. I have another large order of scions waiting for next spring to continue the swamp Crabapple grafting project.

[@WimsMill]

Be careful with vase / open centre tree structure. It can cause sun scold on the main branches. And in very fertile soil like loam, the regrowth can be significant (50cm - 1m sprouts in 1 year) and you will have to prune a lot.

[@JSacadura]

Thanks for the info. I understand these are known issues but, regarding sun scold, I'm not affect as, in my area, the sun intensity is quite low. Also, my soil type is far from fertile. A technique used to control sprouts is leaving a weak nursing branch at the end of each main scaffold when pruning. That tends to reduce the vigor of new sprouts a bit. Open Center trees are quite common over here in home orchards, although in intensive commercial orchards they prefer the tall spindle shape or even slender or super spindle (with more than 4000 trees/ha grafted in dwarfing quince types).

[@marioafonsonozeda4575]

Estou a assistir ao seu interessante vídeo, mas desapontado pôr o áudio em espanhol e subordinar o português para as legendas. Por que não fazer ao contrário aliás sendo o senhor natural de Portugal e para reforçar a peso e presença da nossa língua na esfera internacional

O KZbin disponibilizou a dobragem automática em várias línguas, incluindo o Português (do Brasil) - para ouvir o audio dobrado nessa língua, basta seleccionar esse idioma no ícone das configurações do vídeo (o que parece uma roda dentada) e escolher o Português. Não tenho qualquer controlo sobre isso, já que não permitem que se adicione as nossas próprias pistas de audio ao vídeo.

[@ryelor123]

Just imagine how much cheaper good fruits will be when this process is automated by orchard robots.

[@JSacadura]

Intensive orchards where trees are trained in thin hedgerows already use mechanized pruning by topping and hedging using sickle-bar or saw-bar tractor implements. It's used in olives, almonds, citrus and even vineyards (for summer pruning). For the time being, the human touch is still needed in most cases. Unfortunately, I don't think the price will be affected by the use of more automated options.

[@hannah9419]

I watched the German auto-dubbed version to check it for accuracy and quality of the dub and it's..decent? Actually? The tone is very 'narrator in a nature documentary'-y which is a bit strange when you're used to your usual instructional conversation style but I can see the value for someone who might not speak any English. I'll go & rewatch the video with your original audio though, it just doesn't feel complete™ without it

[@JSacadura]

That's nice! Thanks for the feedback. The Portuguese, French and Spanish dubbings are also quite decent, apart from a few literal translations (heading cuts translated literally like "head cuts" which might confuse viewers, since I am not decapitating people in the video 😊)

[@hannah9419]
