I’m an ISA certified arborist and this video was spot on for most things. The only additional tips I have are plant the tree slightly above the surface level as it will settle over time and can end up being low. The reason you don’t backfill with light weight soil is that water can easily settle there in the air pockets. Thus in a way creating a mini pond around the tree. Overwatering or these practices are typically the number 1 killed of new plants. Also I would always recommend a root growth hormone with planting trees. Generally kelp based products help speed up root growth as whatever container they were sold to you in is far inadequate. Don’t fertilize the tree in the first year and in most soil conditions fertilizing will just make the tree rely on your feeding it. Checking ph conditions or doing a simple soil test will let you know the issues you might face nutrient wise. Mending ph over time and allowing the roots to grow will ensure a strong tree with high fruit yield. Remember reproduction is not as important to a tree as survival.

@AllCapeTree3 жыл бұрын
Great video as always! I just wanted to point out in regards to backfill while planting (as a certified arborist in my state) that soil quality is drastically different in certain parts of the country. If our soil were as beautiful and rich as your soil is in the video, I would certainly just backfill with the original soil. Where I live (on Cape Cod, MA) we're essentially on a sandbar, and in most towns we're never 3-4 inches away from 95% sand. In small pockets we have 80% clay, or just plain glacial rock. If we were to backfill with either sand or clay directly without amending the tree would decline and die 9 times out of 10 from drying out or drowning. To amend the sand we use a large amount of peat moss to add organic material for beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae to bond. We normally also have to add some degree of compost or manure, because of the extreme leaching effects of the sand of the available nutrients in the immediate area. We mix it directly in the hole to encourage the spread of the native bacteria and mycorrhizae already in the soil (sand). Organic matter slows this considerably and is a very important aspect of planting here. For clay, we dig a much , much larger hole, add sand, then gravel, sand, peat moss/sand mix. With flowering and fruiting trees we do indeed cut back the amount of manure or fertilizer added to the hole, while also using a rod and deep root irrigating in a grid pattern with the appropriate mycorrhizal blend for the species planted. Love your channel! Keep at it! Absolutely awesome!

Thank you so much. Where I am in Appalachia, most of our soil is either hard clay or rock. I worried about putting all that heavy clay back on the pecan trees I ordered... It just doesn't seem right. Almost nothing will grow properly in our native soil where we live without some compost to help. I think I'll just dig a REALLY big hole and try to make it mostly clay with some compost, as well mixed together as I can get it. That way hopefully they'll have a lot of room to grow into and be big and strong enough to persevere into the clay if and when they get there.

Great tips on how not to use nutrient rich soil "in" the hole when planting trees or bushes. I did not know that until now. I have a rose bush (bought from Walmart, and planted in spring 2020) and it is stalling out at the moment. I'm having this issue with only this one rose bush . The issue might be that I filled the hole with rich soil and the bush is now stressed. She ended up having flowers, but they were small and with little stem growth. I learned my lesson not to fill the holes with rich soil just to eliminate one more variable if I am having issues. Thanks again Luke, buddy!

@Jeff76199223 жыл бұрын
@@Tinyteacher1111 The reason why most people don't grow from seed is because the variety you will get is unpredictable, and you lose the advantages that are selected for when grafting. Here's an example: Honeycrisp pollinators tend to naturally be varieties of crab apples. There's several other varieties that it can pollinate with, so it all depends on what a bee or other pollinating insect brings it. Honeycrisp's are not self fertile, so they require a few varieties to even get it to fruit. Those varieties are going to determine what kind of apples will produce from the seeds. I've had friends get some really interesting varieties this way, but they also pollinated their trees by hand to do so. Getting the seeds out of a random store apple though is going to be completely random. Mind you, I'm not saying that you shouldn't do it, you might get lucky and get something really interesting. I'm just saying that if you plant a honeycrisp seed, don't expect more honeycrisps.
