    Beautiful set up Unc!! Love how all your trees are protected, where it needs it you got them staked, they are all properly pruned, properly braced. Very nice!!

    This brings back memories of going from tree to tree at LNC trying different apples. I'm not certain but I believe my favorite was the golden delicious. It was definitely a bright yellow apple with a very crunchy sweet bite and soft outer skin!

    I noticed that this spring. My red haven peach tree is full of blossoms but i haven't seen not 1 pollinator on it. Actually i took a tiny brush and went around it myself trying to pollinate it as much as i can.

      luckily it blooms for a pretty
      long time, one of these warm sunny days you will see it covered in pollinators

    Im in 7B. Massachusetts. My Gala & Braeburn are first. My Honrycrisp & red McIntosh are 2nd with Fuji. None of my apple trees have open flowers yet. Just starting to now.

      which one of those apples is your favorite to eat?

    • @MattyDemello
      @MattyDemello 9 місяців тому

      @UncleClaysOrchard I feel Braeburn is the easiest to grow but my favorite so far is the Honeycrisp.

    Nice video! Fan of your channel! Have a Golden Delicious and a Honey Crisp both semi dwarf on the way. Both seem to flower at the same time from your video. How far away do you think they can be planted in order to get adequate cross pollination? I'm thinking about planting one in my backyard and one in my front yard. ~50Ft apart. Have you ever used Kaolin Clay to protect the fruit?

    • @UncleClaysOrchard
      @UncleClaysOrchard  9 місяців тому +1

      50ft apart is fine, it would be honestly be better if they were next to each other but front yard back yard should be fine. I havnt becuase i heard it washes off in the rain. And where i live it rains so much! like 2-3 times a week in the spring time. Which means i would need to spray atleast twice a week. Which for me is time consuming because of the amount of trees.

    Wow. You're on a roll! Great job!
    By the way, are you at a publicly accessible commercial orchard?

    I have a 4 combo apple tree.

    • @MattyDemello
      @MattyDemello 9 місяців тому

      Nice. What combos? How long have you had it? Has it been good & productive?

    • @UncleClaysOrchard
      @UncleClaysOrchard  9 місяців тому +1

      do all the different varieties on the 4 combo flower at the same time ?

    Can't bloom time be controlled/induced by things such as watering and pruning schedules?

    • @UncleClaysOrchard
      @UncleClaysOrchard  4 місяці тому

      maybe induced but not delayed…. you want the trees to bloom as late as possible

    • @UncleClaysOrchard
      @UncleClaysOrchard  4 місяці тому

      oh i just noticed what video this comment is under. The trees would ideally all be pruned already in the winter weeks in advance. And it rains so much in the spring time i’m not sure how more water would change anything

    Hi Clay, how far apart are your trees? Maybe just the angle but seem close. I’m new at this. Want to keep my trees small.

    • @UncleClaysOrchard
      @UncleClaysOrchard  7 місяців тому

      All depends if your buying dwarf, semi dwarf or full size trees. Dwarf trees you can plant very close together
