I'm glad the video could be helpful. The first season isn't a full season at all, so you can't expect much Year 1. Year 2, or the first true full-year, not much is going to happen. It is the following season where we typically see the trees break out, so you can't try and push these trees too hard right away. You can do more harm than good.

@TheMillennialGardener2 жыл бұрын
Organic fertilizers are not readily available to the plants. They need to be consumed by worms, bacteria, fungi and other soil biology and excreted back out into the soil to be in forms the plants can use biologically. Therefore, instead of placing a seasonal dump of organic fertilizers on your trees, I prefer to apply smaller doses more regularly so you're constantly keeping that micobiome fed. It's the same logic with keeping a constant compost and mulch layer. That way, there is always organic matter in a state of decay feeding the soil life. I'm not a big fan of seasonal dumps of products, because the soil may eventually deplete before you remember to add more. It's easier to just apply smaller amounts here and there as you have time.

I'm getting into the 3rd and 4th year for a bunch of my in ground trees. I'm expecting fairly absurd levels of growth (and that I can tame with a bit of summer pruning). Really hard freezes set us back the first / second year, but last year was an excellent season for growth on a lot of our trees. Many of our trees are now well structured and 6-8' tall (after pruning). Some are going to be a bit of a handful for the first time (easily 10-12' high and nearly as wide). One thing that has helped me be patient is planting trees little by little. You can definitely get burned out if you try to do a ton of trees at once and then have a couple rough seasons. I think I did 8 trees the first year and maybe 7-8 over the next year two years. Only 4-5 this year will definitely keep me from getting too many garden projects going as the rest of the yard fills out. If you're taking a gradual approach to planting, expectations for gradual fruit is pretty reasonable in my opinion. For those in harsh conditions, making sure you have adequate winter protection can definitely help growth. Painting your trunks against sun scald, protecting the trunks against rabbits (voles, etc) and doing stuff to protect against winter desiccation definitely improve the condition your trees kick off growth in the spring. I'd be a little cautious with planting your trees a little too high as the roots are a little more exposed to cold temperatures. With a really thick layer of mulch it can be quite a bit mitigated, though. If you add mulch year after year, you definitely should consider planting them a little high so they don't get too buried by the gradual rise in soil level when the mulch breaks down. I've generally had fruit trees a minimum of 1 zone hardier than where I live, so I'm not super concerned about rootstock damage. I think it can be hard for a lot of folks to determine if they're watering too little or too much. It's fairly easy to check, jam a stake in the ground (rebar, bamboo, etc) and see if it comes out dry or damp. Knowing how much clay, loam or sand is in your soil can really help you understand how best to water. I typically irrigate my fruit trees with drip irrigation and it can be a bit of work to figure out exactly how much water is enough for a tree (I usually estimate it as the evapotranspiration minus average rainfall and then divvy up that water over mostly the growing months). Young trees get maybe 2x that estimate while they're still establishing. Since we have fairly dry winters here, I have to water about once per month while the trees are dormant, which seems to absolutely help with growth.

My family started our mini fruit orchard just over two years ago, when we moved to our forever home, in Peyia, Cyprus. Out of us all, only one of us had any experience of growing fruit trees and that was tropical species in a totally different climate. Aside from a few failures along the way, we’re proud of our how we have done and look forward to bumper crops in the next few years and maybe even expanding into a few more species, depending on what the weather does. We find it is becoming increasingly unpredictable, but our trees came through okay after our first major hail storm in the Spring of this year. There are many fruit producers here in Cyprus who were hit much harder than we were.

Wow! I never considered that my fig trees may be in the "creep" stage. In April of 2021 I planted 2 fig trees in my yard. After experiencing a period of transplant stress, they both put on a couple feet of growth before going dormant in December. In that same month, I purchased an additional fig tree of a different variety and planted in my yard (it was dormant when I received it). This year, I was expecting all 3 trees to break dormancy at least by April since all the fit trees in my neighborhood do so in that month. However, they haven't begun growing buds until May and they are doing so very slowly. I had no idea why they were so late compared to the other fig trees in my neighborhood since I mulch them well, fertilize them well, water them well and they have no weeds to compete with. But I think it is safe to say they are in the sleep-creep stages. I feel better now. Thanks. 👍👍👍

I plant each of my fruit trees in its own individually tailored “guild” which includes a number of different plants that work together as a team. Each item is selected to perform a specific task: SUPPRESSORS keep weeds and grass out of the area from the trunk to the drip line (and farther if you wish) and is interplanted with other items that ATTRACT pollinators and other beneficial insects; as well as plants that REPEL destructive insects (and some animals like: rabbits, deer and squirrels). Other plants provide substantial biomass that can be used as a “chop and drop” MULCH, while others can actually “FIX” (add) Nitrogen to the soil for you. Lastly, ACCUMULATORS, send down deep tap roots that “mine nutrients” from depths that would otherwise be unavailable to your fruit tree(s)… they also break up clay, improving drainage. It may sound pretty crowded, but it doesn’t have to be if your guild members can perform more than one job. For example: Strawberries are Nitrogen FIXERS as well as SUPPRESSORS, whereas Comfrey not only ATTRACTS beneficial insects, it’s also a Nitrogen FIXER, and an ACCUMULATOR; it also provides abundant biomass for MULCH, as well as sets up a powerful rhizome barrier to weeds and grasses.

You can also amend your soil at least 1 ft deep for a hole that is 3 times the pot size. Try adding compost 2 to one into the soil and adding bone meal into the entire hole soil. Mix it in well. My fruit trees give me small fruit on the second year and are going full tilt year 3. It gives your tree a great start to growing out their roots fast. Makes for easy roots growth and plenty of food to grow on. It really makes a difference

With some very vigorous trees like figs, this is possible. Figs can grow like absolute beasts right away when planted properly, but an established fig can grow from total dieback to 8 feet tall in one summer, and that's not the norm. My point is that your trees not doing much that first season or two isn't necessarily a problem, and as long as there is slow progress, they are headed in the right direction. If it's been 3 yearsand nothing has happened, you likely have a cultural problem.

Just moved planted fruit trees in April in July we got 2 big peaches that were delicious on one tree. We were shocked …..when the tree was planted it was about 5-6 feet tall. On the plum tree we got only 1 small perfect plum until some kind of bug got it.😮. I hope I am still living in 3 more years to see them really produce fruit. It is very exciting!!!!!!!! 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Bought an orange tree and it's been in the ground about a year and a half now. About 6 months ago I learned about the grass competition and ripped it all out and made a 6ft diameter barrier and covered with mulch. Tree is growing much better now, except it is not growing up. It is growing outwards on all sides, just not up. Should I continue waiting til the third year hoping it grows up instead of out? Thanks for the video. Learned a lot!

Thank you, awesome video. I've had a 3 ft pomegranate tree I planted over 4 years ago and it barely flowered last year but still didn't produce any fruit. We have clay soil here in CA so I added compost when planting, but did not add mulch to the top. I will try that. It's flowering again this year, cross your fingers!! Anything else I can do for the tree?
