    Ten years later and he still looks the same. I love this brother Paul. He is like a prophet to me. I hear the Creatorz words speaking through Paul the Prophet.
    Thanks for sharing this bro.

    I went ahead and made a few cuts on our little one-year-in-the-ground-sticks thanks to you and Paul. Hopefully that encourages them to really put on some growth this year. We would be beyond excited to actually get some fruit in the fall. Fingers crossed! Thanks!!! :)

    Thanks again to Paul for helping us see what needs to be done. I pruned my dwarf cherry this year, for the first time since my grandfather died - its like 15 years old, and was in rough shape....I hope next year I can do a nicer pruning on it - I had to chop it way back just so I can reach the branches again :)

  • @BiteSizeGardens
    @BiteSizeGardens 10 років тому

    I like how Paul clarifies how pruning is arranging . . . not science.
    After pruning awhile, you'll get a "feel" for what needs to come off.
    One thing to keep in mind though, the more you prune, the more you will have to continually prune over time - that's the pattern. :)

    For people with mobility problems like Paul who would love to do more in the Garden, it would be great if Paul could show them how he's able to use a ladder to prune trees as an arborist - given that he has mobility issues with his legs.
    Very good video - makes many things so clear.

    • @L2Survive

    So I went out after watching this and before seeing what kind of saw to get and started my trees, realized I needed a tree trimming saw went out and got one but worried the teeth were all wrong. then went and got on again and watched this and realized that the saw I got will was great for our bigger tree limbs but I really want the other kind of saw but need to try this new one out first but darned if we aren't getting some much needed rain today LOL! anyway thanks as always for posting this.

  • @fredericmeunier7648
    @fredericmeunier7648 9 років тому

    I moved to a new home a few years ago and an apple tree was standing in the backyard. My father advised me to cut it almost in half (verticaly), saying it had been neglected. The tree was about 12' by then. I was quite surprised by this opinion, but we did it anyway. The first year after was a shock to the tree, but it produced some apples. The following year it was supercharged with fruit accessible to me and ripe. I've done some pruning-ish work on the tree since then, but looking at your video I kinda understood my father advise.... Thanks for that. My apple tree is now on a new "administration", thanks a lot ! :)

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  10 років тому +2

      At the 20:50 mark there is a branch that Paul cuts. Picture this as the top of your tree. He cuts the main branch (leader) off at the spot where another branch starts. This makes it look like the branch just turned. Paul's trees get fruit the first year so, the weight will bend the leader which is why he doesn't have to cut the top but, that is how you can do it.

  • @gamesta400
    @gamesta400 10 років тому +1

    What does Paul do with the branches he trimmed off? Does he have a chipper machine himself? Thank you so much for putting these videos up for those of us who will never be able to visit in person.

      @MOvegangal 10 років тому

      as usual, great video and info from Paul. You can tell he is joyful about what he does for a living. This will help me a lot. You do a very good job with your videos, I could see what Paul was doing, audio was very good and camera work on the close ups was terrific :) You are awesome!

    • @TheASTrader
      @TheASTrader 10 років тому

      L2Survive Nicely done write up. Gets right to the point of what Paul recommends. The timing was just almost spooky. I pruned a peach tree the other day and was unsatisfied with the job loppers did. Good sharp pair of loppers, but like Paul said, it just crushes the wood and doesn't get close enough. And right as it dawns on me to ask, you post this video. Thanks again!

  • @iowanne
    @iowanne 10 років тому +1

    I'm itching to get out there and start pruning! Great filming too. It would have been nice to see the entire tree before and after from the same angle. Does Paul have a time that is best to prune? If Im in Zone 5 when would be the best time to prune?

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  10 років тому +1

      Paul prunes his trees from the last couple of weeks in December through January so, get out there today. Basically anytime in winter would be fine. If spring come early, you waited too long.

  • @jadvla
    @jadvla 10 років тому +1

    I heard what Paul was saying about cutting all the branches that are going in the wrong direction,but the one thing that I wish you could do a closer view of is the difference between a regular branch, one that just has leaves, and a fruiting branch. He said the buds were bigger,and you couldn't actually see that. Thank you and Paul for doing this video. Could you ask Paul when you should start pruning a new fruit tree? Thanks again.

    • @TheASTrader
      @TheASTrader 10 років тому +1

      Hi Julia, what I did was googled "tree name" fruiting spurs so I could find an image, identify it on my trees and make sure not to cut those.

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  10 років тому

    Yes, thank you very much for this video! I am new to BTE gardening (just a few months into it) and I watch everything you post. I too would like to have a clearer pic of the fruit spur vs the leaf branch. I just planted a stone fruit tree this summer and don't know what a leaf bud is vs a fruit bud on the branch. Also does this pruning work for all trees or is it just specific to apple trees? Do you have info or links to where he gets his saw and small pruner? Thanks bunches for all you do!!

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  10 років тому

      Paul does the same thing for every fruit tree he has except for the cherry. I just put up a pruning page on my website with links to these tools.

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  9 років тому

      kevin Finney Yes, it is too late. I guess you could try to prune them in a way to where all of the branches are facing down but, I would plant a few new trees and shape them then remove the old trees.

    • @lmd2454
      @lmd2454 6 років тому

      kevin Finney nut trees are different in that you can use a long pole to tap the branches when the nuts are ready and they fall to the ground without damage. I have 17 pecan trees that are 50+ years old and probably 50 ft tall! I can't get them all but most fall. If I wanted to, there are machines that grab the base of the tree and vibrate it to cause the nuts to fall.

    Would Paul consider "tall spindle" pruning an apple tree if you have very limited space?

  • @kenaniahmwh
    @kenaniahmwh 10 років тому

    couldn't see it real well, but it looked like Paul had a dual sheath/scabbard that held both his saw and hand pruner. is that true? if so, do you know where he got it? It didn't look like the sheath that comes with the saw.

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  10 років тому

      Paul does the same thing for every fruit tree he has except for the cherry. After he plants a new tree, he will even give it a quick pruning.

    • @powellgammill4265
      @powellgammill4265 8 років тому +1

      +Cheeto Fingers Cut to the collar. You should see a line like he says drawn by god, showing where to cut across from fist to last. This leaves the collar behind which is where a large accumulation of cells live that will migrate out and seal over the wound. Previous pruning magazines used to advocate either a flush cut which removed the branch collar and their healing cells while others would advocate leaving a stub which would sprout a myriad of new branches necessitating even more pruning in that area the next year (work, work, work; no need for it).

      Paul does the same thing for every fruit tree he has except for the cherry. Since he does not have citrus trees, I don't know. I'm sure that he would prune them the same way if at all possible.

  • @lucienmacrose8567
    @lucienmacrose8567 10 років тому

    I have apple trees that have never been pruned and are 20 to 25 feet tall. Can I cut them down as short as these and not kill the trees? Any help would be gratefully received! great videos, just subed.

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  10 років тому

      No. If you cut more than 1/3 of the tree it will freak out and go into a panic mode. I would start with a couple new trees.

    • @lucienmacrose8567

    • @vickiolson1198
      @vickiolson1198 10 років тому

      I disagree. I think though it would take several years... as you can only take away one third of the tree in a year, its worth a try. I would go in the conservative side, closer to 1/4th, and I would also make sure to add the chipped wood mulch, Paul started with, was it 16, or 18 inches of it under his trees, I can't remember but either or even a bit less would work. He only uses 4 in his veggie garden. The trees are that shape because the weight of the tremendous amount of fruit that he gets weighs them down permanently. But if you add the chips, and start pruning, taking away from between 1/4 and 1/3 of the growth a year, you might end up with something like his, and even if you don't, you will grow bigger and sweeter fruit and it will be an adventure.!!!!

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  8 років тому

      +thegrovestead Paul only has a couple of pear trees but, everything else produces fruit within months of being planted. If pear trees take 10-15 years, with Paul's soil, I wouldn't doubt that it would take less than three years if that.

      Gean Draget Back to Eden is all about Organic. Spraying your trees wouldn't be organic...and if you used an "Organic" spray (which is ok) it still kinda is not Organic because in nature nobody sprays the trees,and they grow perfect. Like Paul says everything you have learned is a lie.

    • @L2Survive
      @L2Survive  9 років тому

      meuhey Paul does things when he has time. In the summer there is a loot going on in the garden. In the winter, not so much. Since there is less to do in the winter and there are less leaves and fruit to get in the way, he does it in the winter. Since it is cold and the trees are dormant, this also aids him in grafting if he wants to.

    If we are trying to imitate God's design why do we clear away branches and leaves that we prune from trees? In nature the branches and leaves that fall away from the tree will collect at the base of that tree's trunk. Shouldn't we be leaving the branches and leaves at the base of the trees that we prune them from?

    • @powellgammill4265
      @powellgammill4265 8 років тому

      +Tyson Sprinter Thanks, I had wondered about that too. That really doesn't explain why he doesn't just drop most of the small stuff he was pruning. I breaks down just fine in a wood chip area. The bigger stuff, sure, can go to someone with a chipper. Actually his "big" stuff is so small an electric chipper that run about $150 can handle it (3/4" stuff). Bigger branches than that can be used as spreader material or for other things, or given to someone with a chipper particularly when they show up to dump a load.

    • @OhMiggeee
      @OhMiggeee 8 років тому

      He already has plenty of mulch in his orchard area and does not need to add more. I would also guess that he doesn't want to have any unchipped branches and leaves just scattered on the floor because it doesnt look as clean as wood chips.

    • @pickalittlefarm3706
      @pickalittlefarm3706 7 років тому +1

      In a more recent video he addresses this. Branches left on the ground, even small ones, are a trip hazard for him. Plus he loves order in his garden and orchard so he removes the pieces he cuts.

    who has the money? i would say that person who owns the bmw or whatever is likely the one.
    i belive Paul has some great messages though,.often probably shared trouth THE MOUTH OF THE LORD and if you are envolved i can just say God bles syou in Jesus Name
    btw this is not an joke, and im a witness of Satan
    also , as for money., its proba bly good for us to see them loosing worth.
    the holy bible is a lesson of love. beware of the adulteress. and our souls might be females. our hearts is probably the wife of our youths and the heads are dead (without the heart ) and there is an sacred marriage.
