"The energy of young trees should be concentrated on growing, not fruiting." Best advice ever for any plant.

This is amazing, I’m so glade I found this Channel. Truly amazing old school. The best you can learn from👌👌

This is so informative, easy to follow and to the point. Thank you sir!

Excellent, thank you for imparting your knowledge. :)

Here's a version of a pruning video with audio commentary instead of hard coded subtitles. Let me know if you like it better than the old approach (i have a poll going, in the community tab of my channel or you can comment below). I will still add English subtitles (not hard coded), for those who need them. These will have to be activated by the viewer. NOTE-CHECK BELOW for replies to FAQ.

Why not cut them at knee high since the beginning? If i had a recent apple orchard with very young trees I would have cut them at knee high and start forming all of them very early. And i did that with the all the apple trees i have. The problem is that I planted several rows of apple trees of the same variety (the ones i had access to at the time). In the last few years I was able to get my hands on scions of very good varieties, so i regrafted most of the trees (i have nearly 100 apple trees of more than 70 varieties and counting) . In an ideal situation, as soon as the grafts have reached enough height and if I was confident that they had taken, i could start forming the new tree, cutting at knee high (or a bit higher because of the graft) so the tree could start creating multiple stems early. But, these are new and precious varieties and i have lots of friends who bug me, to give them a few scions of each new one. So i let them grow for at least a year, unpruned, so i can harvest the scions in the winter. The problem is that some of these varieties are very vigorous and, left unattended, I end up with several trees that have grown too much and are quite a challenge to form. I could cut them short and start all over again, but at the expense of tasting a few fruits of these new awesome varieties, in their second year. The temptation is too great. So, in an ideal world i would not have these unpruned trees to retrain. Nevertheless, i am using them to show people that they can do it, even if they never pruned their trees since they planted them. But i see how this can be confusing for the viewer. I will try to make that point more clearer, in future videos.

this is the best video i've seen on pruning

This was a very helpful and interesting video. The trees look very healthy,how ever they look better when pruned,and fruit is easyer to reach. Thank you for sharing.😊🍏🍎

I tied my apple tree vertical nursery growth to string and am training them with landscaping staples.

timely information for me Friend, Thanks...God bless ...doug

Your videos are very helpful. This year I am summer pruning for the first time and it is already making a big difference. Not so much to do for winter pruning. Maybe next year I will use your instructions to try some grafting. Many thanks.

good.

Great vid! What sheath do you use on your belt?

Thank you. I have been wondering what to do with my apple trees. I planted them last year and didn’t really prune them. They are both 8 feet tall with few side branches. I think I know what to do next. Thanks!

Can you tell what to spray for pink bud can give good crop

My apples and pear espalier are in their first spring/summer after planting them in late winter. The first tier is growing well. Its now mid summer. I have some branch growth coming off the two trained laterals and some off the central leader. Should I be summer pruning in the first year on my first tier laterals? Is mid summer too late for that? I have one pear which has produced a few laterals off the central leader at a tier two height. Should I train those now or is it best to cut the central leader back in winter to start the next tier from fresh? Thanks

Mantap sukses selalu 🇮🇩👍🏼🔔

Hi, i have a small pink lady tip bearer, 1.20 m high, with almost distributed 3 branches to te left and other 3 to the right. I want to make a central leader or a spindle. Can you make a video on central leader, and spindle from a small tree till a 4 years old tree? Do i need to cut back central leader and modified central leader in the first and second year for central leader or modified vcentral leader shape? Tip-bearer produce fruit at the stem ends how to prune it to have fruit every year for a small tree even while traning it? What pesticide do you use what time of the year? Thx

Bonjour et merci pour vos vidéos toujours très instructives. Je me pose une question concernant mon figuier en région parisienne qui a 30 ans et qui a un seul tronc qui monte à plus de 3 metres pour ensuite partir sur 3 branches horizontales. Donc il nourrissait bien les oiseaux, mais je ne pouvais pas cueillir les fruits. L'été dernier il n'a rien donné. Pensez vous que je peux le couper à 50 cm du sol et que cela l'encouragerait à faire un départ de 2 ou 3 charpentières ? le tronc fait bien 25 cm de diamètre. Merci de vos lumières et encore bravo pour vos vidéos

Thanks alot sir. Iam from manipur, India. Next year iam planning to plant HRMN-99, Anna and Dorsett golden Apple variety. Did you used any organic anti termites components sir.?

Nice 💖💖💖💖😃😃😃😃👏👏👏👏

I have 4 apple trees, that are already 4 to 5 years old. At first i marcoted them to clone from its mother trees. Now they're already big. I grafted some of my marcoted apples to some varieties and it seems okay. Now I've seen some fruit buds coming out after pruning and thinning from the mother trees. By the way I have also grafted varieties that produces fruit buds and turn into flowers. But sad to say it died back. But the grafted branch continues to grow higher.

Please what rootstock are your apple trees grafted on?

Hello im from philippines i have some seedgrown apple and pear trees what are your fertilizer used?

Do u know the way to prune apple trees if done in high density plantation atleat 1.5 plant to plant distance

Hi I have one question for you and need your valuable advise. I have one apple plant 1.5 years old , which had grown upto 10 feet now in garden soil. It has grown straight, without any sub brunch. Plant trunk diameter apprx 1.5 cm Can I cut it at 5 or 6 feet height now to get more sub brunch from the cut? Please advise.

Kindly explain about what is this in trunk you wrapped , and what's its roll

i just cut off the top off some of my new fruit trees to dwarf them. I assume branches will come back! and pruning can resume.

This is a luxurious fruit not for business. No easy to manage and plant

Can you remove blossoms to prevent fruiting?

boa noite,jaime sacadura.interessante ,como sempre.(video).Jaime,tenho uns bacelos que plantei este JANEIRO PASSADO,COMO TUTOR DOS BACELOS USEI,as varas (sarmentos),das ameixas que lá existem...problema...os bacelos (alguns ) estao mirrados,as estacas de ameixa medraram deveras.Será preciso enxerta-las ? quero deixar algumas...abraço

Is necessary to remove all leaves if we prune apple trees?

Here I am in Quebec. I planted an apple tree 5 years ago in a full sun spot. I give water every day. There are apple trees in the same street. Now it is 2-3 meters tall. But I never have more than 10 blooms every year. May I ask why？

Time when pruning will do. pl reply.

Buenísimos los vídeos pero me gustaría que estuvieran en español

I just started my food forest.. I have apple and European/Asian pear varieties on M110 and anironka stock. They were never pruned yet, but I intend to prune them this winter (February on east coast USA). I would like to keep all my cuttings, but My available root stock trees are tiny and could not support the cuttings. What can i do with these cuttings?

Amader Bangladesh a apple gache avabe korle hobe...amar apple gach ache onk boro...

You don't say why to each pruning. Why did you cut tree shorter, trim the top cut with a knife, cut fruiting branches in half, why do you want a low tree, etc

Informative video ❤️ I tried growing apples from seeds and now I have 3 apple trees. The biggest one I have is about more or less 4 or 5 months old, which is almost 2 feet height (only planted it in a pots). While the other two were still younger and less than a foot. I'm hoping to grow them to bear fruits someday. When can I start pruning my trees the first time?

Nice, appreciate if you share Guava plant growing techniques till fruiting 🙏

Então não usa a forma "eixo central revestido"que é agora o mais aconselhado? Abrindo em "taça" como fez vai precisar de podar todos os anos o que é muito trabalho para quem tem muitas macieiras. Plantei 20 macieiras este inverno e estou indecisa sobre a melhor forma de as conduzir. Estou no Minho. Obrigada

Why center leader cut

How old the first prunning

Is there a tree shape that you’re shooting for? Seems like smaller trees is your goal? Fruit production first?

Why are there no leaves on these trees? This isn't same as the one am growing. They have leaves. Very wide, green, and sandpaper-like. Good job. Guess I can't follow your instructions here for mine. They seems to be different from this completely.

Could the cutting around 5:20 be used as Scions?

I wish I could do this but I just dont get what im doing i think I cut to much of my pare tree

I wish you could prune my apple tree for me. Sadly I just lost my bing cherry tree due to fungus.

Hello Brother, I've been growing Apple from seed too,but planted in a container,it has been probably more than 4yrs now,the tree look healthy and is around 5 feet tall,and did some pruning in winter but hasn't flower or bear any fruit yet..I've recently repotted it and cut off several root hair...When can I expect some fruits..Btw I am from Northeast India,we had moderate and pleasant climate throughout the year..Do I need to wait a little bit longer or what could be wrong here..Any suggestion..??

I found a big misunderstanding in all pruning videos and books. Christian new year is at the beginning of winter. My country Iran celebrates new year at beginning of spring. So when you are pruning a tree at fall you call the branch "this year's growth" and when before buds swell "last year's growth" while these two are the same branches and in my language translation they must be referred as "current year's branch" . This has led to so many confusions in translated books.

I am new to fruit trees. Please tell me you had a few disasters along the way.

why it says update me every one minute

Saludos a nustros vecinos portugueses. Me gustaría realizarte una breve consulta que espero pueda ayudar a otras personas que se están iniciando en la poda de frutales. Especificamente en la parte de poda de formación. Cuando realizamos una poda de formación en vaso a 3 ramas o 4 ramas. La inserción de estas ramas parten de diferentes alturas. Si hemos decidido la altura a la cruz del frutal por ejemplo 90 cm se supone que es a la primera rama no al despunte. Entonces es cuando pensamos en la longitud de la ramas del primer piso si yo decido darle 1 metro tengo que dejar niveladas todas a una logitud similar pra que el primer piso este más o menos a la misma altura. La longitud del primer piso lse toma desde la rama que están en primer lugar o desde la que está más abajo. Es decir si yo le doy 1 metro a la inferior tendré que darle 80 o 70 cm al despunte a la que está en primer lugar. Espero haberme explicado bien. Un saludo y gracias por tu ayuda.

How much water do young trees need?

Dear sir, I am writing to request seedlings and cion from your apple farm. As a fellow enthusiast, I hope to cultivate the same quality of apples that your farm produces. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this endeavor. Thank you in advance.

Hlo sir I am form India Shimla apple orched give me more information

Your English pronunciation is very good .you pronounce tree as Twee. ." Center of the tree" " next year i can prune to final shape" clear as a bell. "Like and subscribe , and share to support the channel " very well understood by and English only American speaker from the south. Easy to understand than many Great Britizn English speakers

This would have been a lot better & more useful video if you mentioned WHY you were doing everything. For example, why did you shorten the branches? To make them stiffer in the future? Or is there some other reason?

What exactly is the reasoning for removing the low branches, and for cutting the length of the branches in half? Don't you want long branches?

i think you must study more for pruning . especially in Italy n America n Korea. these countries are has good skills. maybe i don't know what India's weather or soil conditions n so on. even though i wanna suggest you to study more. good luck

Hi friend iam from india hear summer temparature april and may very hot 45 degrees iwant suggetion ur any varity ur prefarable friend iam following ur you tube regularly pls giveme advoice thanq

Why use plastic at the base of the tree?

you shuld remuve fruts when they are smaller i think

Me da risa....le poda el cogollo y las ramas laterales superiores...y luego vuelve a cortar más abajo de nuevo....¿porqué no hace este último corte sin cortar primero las ramas superiores?

Nhiều quả vậy cắt bỏ đi phí quá anh ơi

I apologize, but it seems as if you are just as confused as me. I understand pruning. But, why are you pruning certain branches and why aren't you pruning others? Also, when you prune a tree down, it forces the tree to concentrate or focus it's energy on root development. That new found root development will assist in the production of the fruit. So, shorter trees that have been pruned should be able to harvest sweeter, more ripe fruit that a tree with twice more fruit and the same about of roots. But, my concern is why are you trimming some and not others? How come you don't get rid of main stem coming from the roots and create multiple stems early? I would understand if you eliminated the main root stem in exchange for multiple side branches that you would train to give strength to support fruit production, but none of that is clear. The only thing that I have learned from this video is that I should prune, which is good but more information is needed.

Don’t let trees bear fruit that young as shown in the first portion!! Pick them off at about the size of a us quarter. Or really any of the trees shown in the video... too small! Give it at least 3/4 years, let it focus growth in branches and roots not seeds.

everything time you prune something shy dont you just clone that clipping give it away if you don't want it
