THE 15 TYPES of Pruning YOU NEED to know are…

[@NatashaBrunner-r4w]

Yes please. Do more pruning videos.

[@OneDougUnderPar]

I've read that Christmas Trees used to be coppiced, as long as the cut was made above the lowest branch. My friend had a spare acre on her farm she was going to let me try a small grove on, but then we had another kid and suddenly the farm in Mirabel felt a lot further away than before.

This is so awesome! I just started the vid and an hyped to learn about pruning!!

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Wonderful!

[@gardengirl649]

Bravo. What a thorough pruning explanation.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Many thanks!

[@dralexmedmd]

Definitely waiting for a video on training!

[@owenthomas5876]

More in depth videos on pruning, and grafting please

[@gkseeton]

This is incredible. So many options!

[@leedza]

I need a video on pruning over grown apples and plums. I inherited a garden with overgrown trees that i need to train before the summer. I need to shape the trees so that the branches are not at eye level and to access the fruit. Other than that i need a bit more light penetration for garden.

[@Sim_JFD]

Ah yes, the winter is coming, perfect time to binge your videos again and continue absorbing knowledge!

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Glad you like them!

[@helenbunch9065]

SO much tree wisdom!! Thank you :)

[@StefanSobkowiak]

You're so welcome!

[@calinradulescupro8390]

great content, as usual. thank you for the technical knowledge and the perspective taking

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Much appreciated!

I take string and bend limbs in direction i want limbs to go like bending them down and tying, i have even broke a limb half way threw and it dangled downward it healed and keep growing for bezar shapes. Tieing resist limbs following sun so you can form tree.

[@PresUTube1]

just want a video on how to Shape younger Fruit Trees ASAP (Mango, Citrus, & Avocado)

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Just bend the branches below horizontal and tie them in that position for a couple of months.

I just realized that I actually have years of pruning experience because I actually of two “knotted willow trees” pollard willow. In the Netherlands, parts of Germany, France we pollard the Willows each year in late fall or very early spring and the shoots are used in fences, baskets etc. The top can grow huge. In the Netherlands in the Betuwe area (fruit growing region where I live) they also have entire fields with closely planted willow trees where the stumps are as small as the small grape vine stalks in France and they harvest the branches yearly for use in all manner of products. Also have a place in France close to vineyards near the Allier where I usually go in Spring and experience the fruit blossoms on my old cherry, prune, apple and apricot trees with the snow capped peaks to the east. Come back for cherries, and harvest apples pears and the other fruits. We love walnuts and we have a few that have gone on a killing spree since they’ve had it rough a couple of dry summers. My last name is Vergeer and the French always use it as Verger which I don’t mind at all as it really is perfectly fitting my interest. Over the years visiting France a lot I’ve gotten used to the many accents and was flabbergasted how easy I could understand the Canadian French you speak on the French channel. Back in school I would not be able to. Your videos are so informative and easy to understand. It would not surprise me that you are very much the person you actually are in real life and share out of enthusiasm, passion and want to share your knowledge. An aducator and it shows. That draws in people. It is much appreciated and I hope you keep making these videos. Kudos!

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Thank you. Your name is very fitting. Quebec French has its origins in Normandy so has similarities.

[@lactobacillusprime]

@@StefanSobkowiakthanks!

[@janjans1178]

Hello Stefan ! Very informative and interesting video - thanks for sharing! I transplanted an unhappy plum tree from a pot to my new garden. I,m unsure how well she has adjusted - i think i saw a lot more dead wood now that all the leaves have dropped. How can I tell if the wood is dead? Many of the branches looked like the ones in your dead wood pruning chapter 😅 And when would you advise my crown lifting prune, if there is still some life in her and she is happy in her new forever home ? Thank you.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Just scratch the bark with your fingernail and if it’s green it’s alive.

[@archiehendricks6093]

If you have to cut say an apple limb four inches diameter, a coat of enamal once a year each year the cut will close up, but if the paint cracks the wood will dry out and later take on moisture if wood is dead the yearly change will rot and eventually limb will break off, thTs why stay up with examineing each year till it closes up.

[@BluBeatle]

you are helping me with a dream of a Bonsai / Willow Food forest .. Thanks for giving me wind under my dreams , fleeting it's seems in these times where people are suppressed. Leave a forest Legacy that will feed 1000 generations to come. Thanks for allowing me to share

[@StefanSobkowiak]

You can do it!

[@albanoeira1203]

gostei muito da poda numero tres , a numero 14 também é interessante ... um abraço de portugal .

[@sergiumitrea6437]

Hello from România, exist a treatment for agrobacterium tumefaciens crown gall? Or somenthing to desinfect soil where i have tree with agrobacterium tumefaciens crown gall? Thanks a lot

[@StefanSobkowiak]

No specific answer but likely needs a boost of soil life (great compost or compost tea) and a set of minerals (probably zinc, manganese, cobalt, magnesium, calcium…). Get a sap analysis of leaves of affected trees (you have a lab in Netherland).

[@somecooney5304]

I have serviceberry, pear and apple trees. 3 years in, and I realize I have no idea what I'm doing. These darn trees just want to grow straight up at 100 miles an hour. I also have goats, which is a whole other challenge in itself.

[@charlesdevier8203]

My Serviceberry tree might be "the slowest growing tree in the world".

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Goats are not the GOAT with fruit trees.

[@lactobacillusprime]

Shock horror: pruning a tree no 15 cutting it down to the ground above the ground union - 😅 that is flabbergasting extreme.

[@ronaldclobes9340]

Yes, this happened when rabbits girded an apple tree of mine. In three years, it was the same size as the original tree and bearing fruit like nothing had happened. It is amazing!

[@LuisAldamiz]

So... best pruning is no pruning, I think I got it.
