Very knowledgeable and a fantastic price. Hope this homeowner goes with saving more trees. Looks like he needs it

Hello Barry, I have ultra dwarf trees. Peach, plum, Meyer lemon and blood orange. I planted them in large, clay colored plastic pots about 4 years ago. They are still really small. The trees fruit but the fruits grow really small. The lemons usually turn brown and fall off. I use fish / guano emulsion and home made compost for fertilizer and water when the soil looks dry. All on an infrequent scale, nothing to a certain schedule. Also, the Japanese beetles ravage the small fruits. All of this usually happens this time of year in July. The beetles show up now. Even though the beetles eat the small fruit in July, I think the fruit should be much larger by now. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong and how can I keep the pests off the trees without using pesticides? I have seen a burlap mesh material which supposedly keeps the pests out while letting sunlight in. Your thoughts on this?

Jeesh, I wonder if concrete or asphalt that's run right up to the trunk of a tree would choke it to death too? (Sarcasm!!) Roots gotta breathe and get nutrients...funny how many people don't know that!

Great video and information.

Never seen earthworms move like that hah, got some real energy

:)

Going to Home Depot today and decided to do a little research prior. Thank you for this

What happens to birds and other wildlife that may try to eat those insects, and for squirrels who make their nests in these oaks how does the treatment affect them? We have several large oaks that need serious help, which is why I’m researching like crazy to see what we may be dealing with prior to getting a CA out for an inspection and estimate.

I treat my fruit trees like my bonsai trees. Before I plant them I wash all the soil off and comb out the roots around the trunk. Then I plant with the roots complete spread horizontally and in as even of a circle as I can get. Fruit trees are pretty forgiving when it comes to roots, as long as they don’t dry out you can’t really kill em. I just bought a elberta peach to replace the one from 3 years ago that my goats ate… my debit card must have told my Facebook or my cell phone that I bought one today to get a video like this recommended to me…

One tough tree

Is this an issue with pulp (biodegradable) pots as well? Thank you

Hello Berry, you were doing fine transplanting that peach tree too. You said you were made your own dirt and filling out the pot with dirt. My question is why would you use a terminology like dirt? Do you know that dirt is dead it contains nothing no organisms or anything living in soil contains life has nutrients microorganisms, so please tell me why you were used to terminology dirt as an arborist please

Glad i watched this before planting my Florida king... I planted a mid pride Florida about 2 months ago, is it to late to build a moat around it?

I planted mine last night. I wish I would have seen this first. I did loosen the root ball. A little bit of the dirt was loose will that be okay or should I replant it?

What is it that you poured into the soil?

why don’t they put dirt in the bottom of the pot before putting the tree in, instead of putting the tree in first and burying the collar?

I bought a peach tree today to transplant and I appreciate this video beyond measure.

Hello my name is Stacey and I came across your video well I purchased a peach tree from Lowe's last year and I planted it in the wrong spot which was a low spot in my back yard it holds a lot of water there and didn't know at time of planting it only made 10 peaches this year but they all got witther up and dried the leaves are yellow and some are green and very dry it got like that after a hard rain we had I'm in Louisiana can my tree be save and can it be move right now thank you anything will be helpful I also subscribed to your channel

And my wife thinks you just buy something from Home Depot and just stick it in the ground. Glad I saw this.

Great video! Great teaching! Question: Can we take a tree that is in the beginning stages of this video and and make the repairs then put it in the ground instead of another bigger pot ?

Does all of this apply to blueberry bushes too?

Thx for sharing! This video is very helpful. Q- I just purchased a dwarf peach a wk ago. I haven’t planted yet but it’s April 1st in NY, zone 7. Can I plant it outside now? It already started flowering.

I wanna thank you for the work that you do with saving trees !

I had a friend that was redoing their backyard landscaping and we’re going to remove two fruit trees that were 3-5 years old. He asked if I wanted them so I went and dug them out as carefully as possible. Will they survive?

I received a free peach tree from the city tree give away and it came with flowers. Can I transplant it while there’s flowers? Thank you

Bro! This is so important!!!! Thank you!!!

So glad I found this before planting

Wow, absolutely illuminating! Thank you

Wow, rootbound, thanx sir.

Why can't the peach tree be planted for 3-6 months just because you cut the roots? What's the difference between the pot and the ground? And if I have to wait that long then what about my customers that wanting planting? Am I not able to buy the plant or tree from the nursery, cut the roots like you did and plant it right away? How do I go about this with customers?

Why did you stop at 12 inches on the first tree? I still didn't see the root flare exposed.

My question would be about dwarf trees that are grown in pots. I want to grow a dwarf peach tree on my deck. I would like a dwarf tree and not a semi dwarf tree. I wonder what size pot should be my final size to help minimize the amount of circling in the pot.

I watched the whole video but didn't understand why you had to expose the electric line.

Great job and thanks for the information.

It’s good to know experienced arborists also forget to check roots. Curious though. If peach trees are supposed to be pruned about 1-2 ft up to have an open canopy, what good is buying a tall peach tree. I’m stuck with a 2 yr old tree which I’ll probably have to cut it all the way back because it has the wrong shape. 😏

👍🏼great instruction my friend❗️ol veteran gardener like myself WILL subscribe 2day..invaluable education indeed,since recently purchased 2 small seedling peach trees- halford & Lovell variety's

Hey there, my lime tree has all its leaves at the bottom and barely any at the top, do I prune all the bottom ones off?

I have a peach tree that I need to relocate I live in the Catskills ny and is September of 23 now When can I relocate it safely thank you

I know this is an older post, but I have a couple questions. I could grow peach trees 2 miles away, but not where I am at. Tried several times with bare root. I currently have a desert like micro climate. Is it because it’s too hot and cold? Sandy soil. They generally die off and come from the root and shrub. We installed drip irrigation this year because of drought, but peach already died. This one came with a strange plug for roots-it was weird. Apples, plums, berries are all doing ok. My other issue is a Blaze Maple that was gorgeous 20’ tree and I forgot to cover the trunk in winter and it frost cracked and fell over. Since then it sends up a ton of suckers. I trained one vigorous sucker and it is doing Great, But it still sends up suckers at the base. Is there any way to stop the suckers? Z5a, WI. Crazy weather doesn’t help and this year had late frost after hot weather that broke dormancy and took out a grape and winery lost crop. Thanks for great tips on root bound trees. Sister in law had a locust tree and it was severe. Thank you!

I wish you would’ve shown close up of exposed roots afterwards. That’s the best part!😅

Wow thank you

Could you share a follow-up on this tree?

my boy sounds like dr. phil

Great video! Very informative. Subscribed 😊

I have a huge oak tree in my front yard. It has anchor roots that run 10 feet from the trunk. They are 10-12” in diameter. Could the tops of these roots be shaved off without damaging the tree or compromising the structure? Since the roots are on the surface they don’t appear to be adding much structural support. There are also a lot of 1-3” roots running along the surface 10-12 feet away from the trunk. They don’t appear to affect the structure. Could those be cut out without damaging the tree? Thanks for a very informative video!

I trust a man with his name on his shirt. Means he's been there a while

Thanks for the great video! I guess I’m lazy though. I used a battery operated reciprocating saw to trim a few small roots that were approaching my walkways and driveway. I learned a lot of good tips from your video. Thanks!

These prices for RCX are unbelievably cheap. In Illinois and Michigan going rate is $500-600 per tree.
