    I have so many suckering trees owing to buying a 100 year old home that was empty for three years between the original owner and my move in date. Then I became disabled and was sick out for two year, totally. Then I took care of my parents property during a part of Covid and then my dad died of neglect because he was hospitalized but DIDN’T have Covid. (Bad time for a high blood sugar spike as diabetic supplies were more difficult to obtain…and no, not because of supply issues…I recently learned from my cousin in pharmacy the whole “not enough precursors” has been a lie. It’s been a created shortage.). So then I was caring for my mom for over a year after my dad passed as she can’t do anything but cook and clean and have hobbies…she never realized the physical plant portion of home ownership was WORK! She also wanted her actual forest groomed….in the meantime I have three lots in a city with dozens of trees, from a maple planted by the city that suckers like mad, to fruit trees. I haven’t even gotten diatomaceous earth spread from last fall to this spring to keep the Japanese beetles from eating all the foliage off a 100 year old grapevine!

    I think we've noticed that the fence trick is really the only thing that really works. Our deer kept destroying our trees, tearing branches out of them or injuring them beyond salvation with their antlers. The fences kept them from breaking or eating the trees so that they actually had a shot of reaching maturity.

    Are you using this mix every year on “all” your fruit trees? Exactly which month do you spray? I live in Italy and have a wide variety of fruit trees and I spray them in November and February with just a copper mix but spray my peach and nectarine trees at least four times and the trees always end up with leaf curl problem. Using your mix on your peach trees do you have the same problem as i do? Lastly, how much neem oil and copper is in your mix? Thanks for your feedback

      Chelated copper mixed with your dormant oil spray in the spring is a good start. If you don't have a real severe case, pulling the leaves, though tedious, is a pretty good way to eliminate the disease before it spreads.

    I agree with you. Although leaves by themselves also can be useful as a top dressing. One of the best things I ever did for my raised garden beds was putting a layer of leaves over top. Almost no weeds and it holds soil moisture in during the hot summer months.

    • @fruitpruningchannel
      @fruitpruningchannel 3 місяці тому

      Yes! Where leaves create a barrier that is hard for moisture to penetrate, it also creates a barrier that keeps weeds at bay and can hold in moisture when the weather is hot. Thanks for your comment!

    • @fruitpruningchannel
      @fruitpruningchannel 3 місяці тому

      Sun scald happens when the sun heats up the bark in the day expanding it, and then low night time temperatures cause it to contract. This freeze and thaw or expansion and contractions causes the bark to peel away from the wood underneath.

      When I was in Spokane I saw a large weeping birch tree with lots of exposed branches on top. There was no sign of sun scald anywhere. Birch trees are susceptible to sun scald in many locations, but I think Spokane's mild, overcast winters are such that sun scald is probably not an issue.

    yeah whoever trimmed the pears and apples here created about 10 billion water sprouts and I'm kind of at a loss for what to do. will the ones along the top eventually shade the trees so bad that they won't be able to function?

    • @fruitpruningchannel
      @fruitpruningchannel 3 місяці тому

      Yes! The water sprouts will definitely shade out the older wood where the Spurs are found. There's no way to prune a pear tree aggressively without it responding with a lot of new water sprouts. It's just part of the process. You just have to accept that every year you will have to thin out most of the water sprouts to make room for the good fruiting wood to produce.

      It is good to be aggressive with peach trees, but there is a balance. If too much of the canopy is removed then it can inhibit the tree's ability to collect sunlight during the summer and weaken the tree long term. I hope it bounces back so your wife doesn't get sad. Nothing worse than a sad wife. Haha

    Do you have any recommendations regarding types of bark mulch that are better or types to avoid? I have been using red cedar bark mulch but as I was recently researching it seems there are different opinions (e.g. barks with tannins are a problem) out there. It seems to me that issues would be negligible but I would be interested in your opinion.

    • @fruitpruningchannel
      @fruitpruningchannel 3 місяці тому

      Any mulch under the tree is better than no mulch. Because I have access to branches with my pruning business my preference is to chip up all of my cuttings and make my own mulch. I like it best because it has a mixture of wood, bark, and leaves. I feel like it has a good diversity of material and it seems to decompose really well but also has a good structure so it lasts a while and doesn't blow away in the wind or after heavy rains.

    • @fruitpruningchannel
      @fruitpruningchannel 3 місяці тому

      Yes, if your trees have fire blight it's best to prune them in the winter because the fire blight will freeze and die if it's exposed to the cold temperatures. It's also important to make sure that you spray your fire blight infested trees with copper during the dormant stage and again when the pedals drop. You may need to do additional pruning and spraying throughout the season in order to keep the fire blight under control.
