Excellent video! Thank you! Just subbed and I now have a lit if catching up to do.
Very good video thanks 👍🌴💐🌧️🌈🌅🌦️🌧️🌈🌲🍄🌾🌿👍

I have a Li Jujube, Fuyu Persimmon ,LSU in grow zone 8A- Georgia This is my second year and they are in pots because of clay soil. I amended soil and Li Jujube,Everbearing mulberry and Smith blood and they grew out of their pots into the ground ,sitting next to each other.
I agree, finally someone who lives somewhat closer to us. We live in Georgetown in the foothills of California. We just planted 4 fruit trees and not too late to do some corrective pruning. That is my job today, in mid-May 2022. Thanks for your wonderful informative videos with detailed instructions, e z to follow. We will be watching you almost exclusively since you seem to have the Know-How we need. Thank you for your channel. An Aprium is on my soon to buy list too!
Hello, I just finished planting about a dozen fruit trees here in the northeast US pears, nectarine, apples. What is the best way to keep insects from destroying my fruit without contaminating the fruit with harmful chemicals?
Please always cut away from your body parts. @14:10 could easily turn into a disaster.
Thank you! Very thorough!
what if there are no buds, and you cut the tree to knee length, will it eventually create branches?
I’m impressed by your dedication to your dream.
Thanks for the great information! Did you plant dwarf, semi dwarf, or full sized trees? How did you decide which was best for your garden?
PS – I recommend this video to anyone embarking on planting fruit trees!
Very Good very informative
I love your videos. what zone are you in? thanks
Great teaching
With the box cutters, cut away from your body.
Thank you for sharing your video’s. I live in the Sacramento area and have the same hard clay soil that does not drain. I plan to add the same soil you did, but was wondering if I should till the hard dirt I have first and mix in the 50/50 compost and top soil on top? Also is it okay to plant fruit trees in the summer june/july in my 9B zone?
The patience it requires to cut that tree in half then toss the fruit for two years! I have two apples, an apricot, and a fig tree on my back patio right now to plant tomorrow and the thought of it makes me so sad! But I really want successful crops and hope I can outsmart the deer and have an orchard in the next few years.
So no landscaping material/fabric needed?
That was informative. New Subbie
i wish I watched before I pruned before it rained…I will use sulfer/ clay for tree care.. I would feel bad killing the bugs w the outward tape goo/ and red balls, but I have a japanese beetle problem.
Ok 30 minute videos are ridiculous
I see so many conflicting information on planting trees. I heard you are supposed to bury the graft otherwise the original tree it was grafted on will try and grow.
Excellent video Kyle !
All the info I can find says that once you plant the tree, you need to prune it immediately(like you showed), then again after the spring flush of growth cut new growth back by half, and then a third time in late summer cut new growth back by half. But I have no idea when "after spring flush of growth" is. )’: May? June?
Very informative video.
Great video and information! Exactly what I needed to hear and learn. Thank you!
22:16 you meant to say balls height?
Here some other tips to increase planting success from my food forest!

Wow,, am also so inspired in farming
Great tutorial! I would love to learn more about the first step – the soil. I’m just in the process of replacing the grass in my yard with fruit trees. I live in California, zone 9b and heavy clay soil. I saw in another tutorial video that it is best to let the trees grow in the clay because they get used to the soil and spread their roots, instead of growing them in the upper nice soil. What is your experience with these methods? I would love to learn what is the best approach as well as how much nice soil you added (in height) above the clay soil. Thanks!
Hi could you give more details about how to prepare the soil? In the video you tested the drainage of soil and said it need be improved. And then next second you show the improved soil bed already. How deep should I replace the poor soil with compost? Thanks!
I love your videos. You explain a lot of stuff. I’ve learned so much watching these. I’m starting my garden next spring. I also want to start a orchard with all kinds of peaches, pairs, apples, mulberries, grapes all those things. If you have any extra advice you would like to share about starting a new garden, like preparing hard, clay Kentucky dirt for a garden would be helpful. Also anything on the fruit trees. Thanks for making the videos.
Thank you so much for sharing this invaluable information. I started a Permaculture food forest here in subtropical Australia and have been researching how to prune my fruit trees to keep them small so I can harvest the fruit without climbing on a ladder. I have subscribed and I am looking forward to see all your videos regarding pruning your trees. Thank you again this user friendly video…
Are these dwarf varieties? I recently purchased two apple trees (Anna and Dorset), a Methley Plum and an Owari Satsuma also 2 mandarine orange trees. Curious if I can train non dwarf varieties using your training methods. (Viewer Following in Zone 8B Central Louisiana.) Thank you for sharing your videos.
What did you do with your cut branches? Did you start new trees?
Thanks for the informative video. Are all of your fruit trees self pollinating??
You sir are a bad ass
Can you do a video on irrigation?
13:52 getting a little careless with that blade pulling it right toward your Femoral Artery
What if you get a fruit tree those size from nursery but they already stared budding all over do we still cut it down?
I need someone like you to help me with my mini orchard. Lord I do not know what I’m doing. Trees are flowering and some have fruit but they are so short.
Omg the fact you’re from Sac too is amazing. Wife and I met in college there and now we are in Texas working on starting out own gardens/orchards!
Hi. I’m just starting my orchid and your videos helped a ton. All my trees are newly planted. Since working the soil and adding mulch and irrigation around I noticed a lot of earwig bugs hanging around now, like a lot. Seems like an over population of them now all under my mulch. What should I do? What bugs do and don’t you worry about for your trees? Thanks again and keep the video coming please, love your channel!
I really love your videos, you encourage me on going forward with my dream in having fruit trees farm. I started buying fruit trees one by one..now I have 4 fruit trees. I see you start your orchard with 12 trees ,that really make me feel that I’m doing the right thing. Thank you very much.
love your orchard. Great video! I had a peach tree grow out of my compost last spring. I repositioned it into my front yard and now it is about 1.5 ft tall. At what age should I start to trim it? Live in zone 5 so ground is still frozen and last frost near end of May.

Adding mulch to a new tree weakens the tree because the moisture is retained in the hole you dug. Don’t mulch directly over the plant and the roots will go searching for moisture and make a stronger plant.
Best fruit tree video I’ve seen!!
Did you order your trees online or pick them up from a local nursery.
Would staggering the line have given each tree more access to sunlight? Would that make a significant difference overall?
