  • Fruit trees are a wonderful way to grow food with little effort in your yard. With a little care they can produce large harvests for decades.
    The only real work I put into my fruit trees is a little pruning. Pruning will help keep the tree healthy preventing damage and maximizing the yields. In my opinion it also improves how the tree looks in my yard.
    My general philosophy is to prune on an ongoing basis. I hope to avoid large prunes all at once.

    Fruit trees are so great - they give so much for so little effort. I really like summer/fall pruning like you are doing. I've found summer/fall pruning to really help control the size of my trees. The winter and spring pruning generally causes my trees to put on more growth. So I do whichever is needed for each tree. Enjoy your apple cider!

      It certainly does help keep the tree under control which is why I do it. I need to to produce but not get huge as I do not have space for them.

    You seem a deal more slim, Stephen and you look great! Diet of organic veggies and fruits is always healthy.

    I’m in same zone and I think even same city as you. Planted several whips last year and want to prune them this spring. What month do you usually do your spring prune (and does it matter if it’s too early?)

    You HAVE to prun tree after planting in your garden. This will help it grow.

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms 4 роки тому

      Definitely. But I would never prune in the fall. I would wait for full proper dormancy, or better yet, right before spring bud break.

    • @AlbertaUrbanGarden

      I was thinking about going into more detail but had a good in depth video from last year and just wanted to touch on the subject and give an update on my grafting :)

    Hey Stephen, any advice to propagate my zone 3 fruit trees from pruned branches?

    • @AlbertaUrbanGarden
      @AlbertaUrbanGarden  8 років тому +1

      If you start an tree from seed and whip graft the pruned scions to your new root stock you might have some success.

  • @memberson
    @memberson 8 років тому +2

    I like your video. However none of these rules are written in stone. Each year I cut my trees from 15 feet or more down to 5 feet. The only thing it has done is gotten a bigger peaches. I do this because I refuse to allow any of my fruit trees to get out of control. I have seen what can happen if you do not maintain size. keep up the good work

    • @AlbertaUrbanGarden
      @AlbertaUrbanGarden  8 років тому +1

      You are right. It is not in stone but much more of an art.

  • @DucPham-ok5ko
    @DucPham-ok5ko 3 роки тому

    I had some Asian pear. Before I prune them. I'd like to ask you which way is the best ?
    1. Modified leader
    2. Open center
    3. Central leader.

    Great video, as always! Stephen, do you know much about saskatoons? I have Northline saskatoon that's about 4 yrs old now, and can't find anything online about how to care for it. As the name suggest, we're just across the border from you, in a zone 2b.
    Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work! ~ Mrs. Peace River Prepper

    • @AlbertaUrbanGarden
      @AlbertaUrbanGarden  8 років тому

      I don't think they require much care at all but I don't have any myself. Is there a specific concern you have ?
      Keep dry up there my friend.

    • @PeaceRiverPrepper
      @PeaceRiverPrepper 8 років тому

      Thanks for the speedy response! Pruning is the only real concern I have. I know this variety can get quite large (almost tree-like), and I don't want it to get out of control. For being pretty small atm, it's a great little producer!
      Not too wet right now.. been a fantastic year for gardening :)

    • @AlbertaUrbanGarden
      @AlbertaUrbanGarden  8 років тому +1

      you can simply top them off if you want to keep them under control. That is what I do with my apple tree to keep is lower to the ground for my consumption ;)

  • @WONDERring
    @WONDERring 8 років тому

    Would the method be the same for a potted loquat? I just bought one so I won't be pruning yet but in the future. . . Looking good, Mister Steven.

    • @AlbertaUrbanGarden
      @AlbertaUrbanGarden  8 років тому

      for now I would leave it alone. Citrus are a touch different as they generally don't need much pruning.

    • @WONDERring
      @WONDERring 8 років тому

      +Alberta Urban Garden Simple Organic and Sustainable. Loquat, not kumquat. I don't think it is a citrus. Tastes a little bit like a peach. I could be wrong ; )

    any experience taking cuttings from trees? i have a big apple tree growing wild down the road i wanted to cut some branches off and plant them in the ground in hopes for them to take root like ive seen people do before but i have found contradicting info on when is the best time to do this if you know what i mean, any idea on when would be the best time to do so? or your best guest.
    Cheers

    • @AlbertaUrbanGarden
      @AlbertaUrbanGarden  8 років тому

      rooting a cutting for apple trees is much harder than one would assume. You are best to find a root stock and whip graft the scion to it.

    • @StanTheMan709
      @StanTheMan709 8 років тому

      ***** well my neighbor years ago had cut a branch off and planted it right into the ground to get him tree and his brother did the same! but neither could remember what time of year they did it so i was just wondering if you knew what would be my best chance? im thinking probably while the tree would be in full bloom to hopefully take root faster but wanted another opinion

    • @AlbertaUrbanGarden
      @AlbertaUrbanGarden  8 років тому +1

      you can do it but when I researched it the success rate was very low. That said I would love to know more if you find out how to do it!

      Usually there will be garden Centres that should have what you are looking for.

      One shop does them in the UK but they're only 1 year old maiden plants and they're usually out of stock. I'll keep looking.
