How to Plant Fruit Trees: The Complete Guide

I want work with you .

Hi sir I am from India. I love fruit trees. Nice information.

Hoping to plant a couple next year 🤞🤞

Is it ok to plant my peach tree near a lemon tree? I'm in Hemet California.

Where did you get the trunk paint? Couldn't find it in your note section. Thanks

I’m in 9a I’m hoping I will learn more about what to grow

I work at Armstrong nursery I believe you met my manger at Walter Anderson nursery one day recently. Was wondering if you would like a passion fruit I have a some I would love to donate one to you. Thanks for all the inspiration

I find soaking them in a bucket before planting/potting up is always worthwhile. Makes the roots bend rather than break; Helps with watering in; removes any water repellency; And stops air bubbles getting into the roots if you take a while filling it in or if the soils a bit dry. Add a bit of liquid kelp solution to the soak bucket is even better.

How are the fruit trees now?

The matrix is realizing everything in nature is free but they palm it all like a dam basketball and play keep away only to provide if you can buy smh

I’m hoping to plant a fruit salad next year I think. I’m thinking a fruit salad tree is a good idea because I only have room for one or 2 small trees. Thanks for the video 🙏

Chris said she's in zone 8b, and from what I understand, she's in Vancouver. I live in NW Florida, also zone 8b. I'm surprised somewhere in Canada has the same zone designation as somewhere as warm as Florida.

It is called IV organic, because you will need an IV after realizing how much it cost yet does the same or poorer job as waterbase white paint that cost fraction.

Two zones lower means that you might not have fruit at all due to insufficient chill hours.

Starting my backyard orchard in Zone 7 this year. Cherry, Peach, Apples, and Nectarine. Looking forward to enjoying some home grown fruit to go with my vegetables!

What fertilizer should you use for container trees??

That cherry tree is interesting

What is this song?! I've heard it before and it's driving me nuts haha.

Thank you I have no idea what I am doing but I am determined to get some in soil this year. From San Diego too

The woman was incredibly boring. Couldn’t listen to her till the end. I guess i have enough intelligence to figure out how to plant in containers. Strongly disagree about coarse material at the bottom - u do not put those the soil will compress and choke the roots

I live in the south of France where it never gets minus ( celsius) and if it gets it is like once and not every winter, i have never ever heard about chill hours, nobody tells u about those for some reason. I always thought that being all the time warm is good for the trees. Your info was very helpful, now i will research about the trees i planted - i planted a few cherry trees, almond, figue, pine and one i do not know the name of. Almond gave me second year like 5 flowers and one nut. Probably does not have enough chill hours because i live on the shore and those who live higher in mountains have lots of chill hours, so those are sold for them

Would it be a safe assumption to put a winter tent protection for cold temperatures area for your fruit trees and garden?

Awesome lessons! 🎉❤😂

Hi there, anyone had any luck with an avocado in a large pot? Meaning, will you actually bear fruit?

Hello and I hope this finds you well
I am fairly new to San Diego and just wondering where I could also find the mulberry tree??

Would it possible to plant some fruit trees zone 6 october- november if we are already having freezing temperatures in the mornings? Or would it be better to wait until spring. Thank you in advanced!

nice

I have a lot of fruit trees that were planted at my parents house in poway about 10yrs ago. Over the last year ive been dedicating time and tending to them . i know that after this season they need to be pretty excessively pruned. My question is; being that i have some tall branches with shrubs at the top; can i propagate those branches (theres a lot), since they're growing from parts of the dead tree?

My backyard clay soil is loaded with roots the size of tree cuttings. I’m guessing these roots came from the tall pine trees outside the backyard. Is there any hope for growing fruit trees in this condition? Can anything be done about these nasty roots? They seem to be almost every where in the backyard.

Where do you get your tree’s from

I dont relly know what to start with, my climate has nearly 100 degree (farenheit) summers and single digit winters. Would you guys have a guide for a climate like that?

A few of my trees are leaning after several wind storms. Could you do a video on staking trees prperly

Well What ever you soil is it works and digs out really nicely. so I assume it’s a little porous which is good water goes deep and the soils sucks up the minerals then the roots suck them out .

I have a dwarf Gordon apple tree, does it need a buddy to pollinate it? Also do I need to have chill hours? I’m in zone 9b Tucson, Az

Dude you’ve made the big time I just saw you on Magnolia Network I literally jumped out of my seat

Great video. Got anything on just planting pomegranates?

I didn't even know there was a Zone 8b in Canada! Where is that?

Perfect timing, just got two peach trees

Shouldn't the hole be square, so to stop root-bound

You need to get yourself a small auger to help dig some holes

I have a random fruit tree in my backyard… idk what it is

I love planting fruit trees

Given how you overfertilize your garden containers I was expecting the same here, but I'm glad to see you plant them "normally". The absolute wrong thing to do is to put a ton of fertilizer and compost at the bottom of the hole (which sadly is what they show on "Garden Answer" because they sell that damn fertilizer...). Not only trees don't need it, but with rain, the fertility goes down in the soil, away from the roots, being wasted. Regarding your citrus trees as hedges, you should be careful. Trees that are too close together suffer, it's partly why the citrus industry in Florida has collapsed. They used too much fertilizer and pesticides, so pests attacked, their yield dropped. Instead of stopping that, they increased planting density, which made things even worse (then new pests, new pesticides, etc...). You can check out Thomas Dykstra's webinar, called "A 100-year review of Florida citrus production—what is causing this steep decline?" about that, it's eye-opening. Also, if you want more fruit production, and want to avoid fertilizing, you can use perennials all around your trees. Tree health and plant health in general is fueled by biodiversity in the soil, mostly bacteria and fungi. And for that diversity, you need a diversity of plants. Orchards with cover crops and perennials have higher yields and no pests compared to conventional orchards with naked soil, herbicides and pesticides. Mulch is a nice compromise, but you might still get pests due to the lack of diversity and planting density. To be sure, just use a refractomer and measure your leaf Brix. If it's above 12, you're good. Below 12, pests will attack.

Hi~We have some free bird feeders(US) and would like to find people who are interested in them to test them, if you are interested you can contact me, thanks!

thanks for the tips 🙏🏻 i live in warm climate, thinking to grow fruit trees in big pots

“Plant hardiness” is bullshit. It gets to -45c where I am in the winters, (this past winter 6 days it was below 42c) and up to 44c in the summer, (last summer we had 2 weeks of 40c+), there is absolute nothing too warm or too cold for any plant within reason, just prep a bit for winter and keep them healthy through the year and you can grow things -20c lower than they should absolute no problem, I barely insults my stuff, maybe a handful of straw and a flick of burlap for the things that bunnies will eat, and everything else that’s bigger will do fine. Strawberries do fine with just straw, plums peaches need nothing (burlap for ice storms if you’re worried) do remember plants are plants they adapt to conditions for the most part, and there isn’t much of a difference in actual high/lows from the Canadian border to the Mexican border, I mean within reason; you wouldn’t be able to grow something like a pineapple unless you planted it in a raised bed against a southern facing wall and straw the whole thing heavily, or move it inside for the winter, but truthfully you can grow almost anything anywhere.

Kevin ,where you live here in SD if u don’t mind😉
