I have watched numerous videos on fruit trees. This was the most informative on explaining the difference between fruit an leaf buds on different trees. Thank you.
Thank you. That was very helpful, especially for apples. It will be obvious now. I grew an apple from seed and it's never fruited. I will look to see if it's making any spurs this year. May try grafting a branch if it isn't doing anything.
Once you start seeing them, you'll recognize them for sure. Definitely take a late fall/early winter orchard walk and look for the little spiky growths on your apple branches!
very good video i have some plums pluots and pluerrys.......... im trying to figure out what im working with i also have apriums and apricots im still learning about too my orchard is 1 2 and 3 year old trees......... i was pretty sure about the peaches and probably cherries..... but the pears and the apples i wasnt sure..........so now i have to go back out (after the rain) and see what i have on those
Great video, thanks. A question I haven't found an answer to yet anywhere, but perhaps you know: Will a cherry tree branche with a fruit bud cluster at it's tip ever grow any longer, or how would you make it do so? Or could there still be a leaf but somewhere in that cluster?
Great video. Thanks! At what point do these spurs develop on an apple tree? Can they be seen in the fall or do they develop over the winter and early spring?
Hello, and thank you for the kind comment! Our oldest pawpaw was planted in spring 2017, with most of the others planted in 2018 and 2019. We didn't cover with shade cloth because they were all grafted trees. When you graft, the part that is grafted is typically from more developed wood, so it's not as sensitive to sun as a seedling would be. Of course, we are also in NY State south of Buffalo, so our summers are not as intense as they can be a bit further south, so that helps as well. Pawpaw trees seem to do really well in this area, especially with all the snow we get. Often, it can be 10 degrees out but because of the thick snow the ground isn't even frozen. We just did a video on that to show how the snow insulates... It's surprising!
I just bought apple trees last year and put them in the ground i wish i searched for this they have already blossomed and its growing straight up no many branches
You might want to train some of your branches. If it's a whip (a trunk with little branching) it will grow branches this year or next. A lot of ours were whips when we bought them!
Also, remember that trees will still do fine and fruit without us doing anything! It's just a matter of making the process easier for us if we prune or shape.
@@mauigurl74 It's never really too late to prune, but it's always better to wait if you're not sure. If the branches are very low to the ground they won't do much good, as when the tree fruits eventually the branches will bend down from the weight of the fruit.

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Thank you, great info. Very good video, watching from Nevada.
Thank you!
Very good teaching skills!
Thank you!
Nice to learn about fruit buds that way I don't prune them.
This is a great time of year to see them too! I'm glad you found the video helpful

It's a lot of fun when they all start producing! I found that once you have fruit spurs they are unmistakable.
Good video
Thank you!
Thank you
Love

I'm not 100% sure but I think ours have still grown past the fruit buds on the branch tips. I'll double check this spring!

You'll notice them in summer but they'll fatten up in early spring/late winter
How old are your pawapaw trees? Did you cover them with shade cloth in the beginning? Thanks for a great video

I would like to know the elevation of this orchard???
We're at 1329 feet in southwest NY State, Zone 5

Thank you! Another question i have branches that grew last year at the very bottom..do i want to cut it? N is it too late?

I believe these branches are below the grafting line
