- You've heard me continuously say "mulch Your fruit trees!", "mulch your fruit trees!" With this recent insane heatwave in Southern California, I thought it would be great to show you an example of exactly how effective using mulch for my fruit trees has been. A good mulch layer beneath fruit trees has solid benefits, which are even more pronounced during weather extremes. If you're not yet using mulch on your fruit trees, now is the time! Using an inexpensive moisture meter like this will give you a better idea of how your soil moisture is being affected: amzn.to/2F51yrf

The weather has been WACKY this week across the US! Have you been in the heat too? A few minutes of attention can help you avoid plant disaster. Using an inexpensive moisture meter like this will give you a better idea of how your soil moisture is being affected: amzn.to/2F51yrf
It's 115 degrees and you are not even breaking a sweat. I am so impressed.
I wish, Lol! 6:47
It’s hard to find examples online of the benefits mulching, thanks for the good demonstration. Your trees look amazing ,vibrant.
Glad it was helpful! Mulching is a gardener secret weapon 💪
I get 115 for months and down to single digits in the winter. I need to move to California
Wow, that's a massive shift! Are you in AZ?
Great video! We love our mulch don't we Buddy. Take care Cameron
Thanks, Tommy! Mulch for the win!
Mulch is the way the more the better like you said very little weeding helps maintain soil temperature and moisture plus soil nutrients
I agree 100%
Thanks for the video! I mulch my trees ultra-heavy, like at least 12 inches over the entire orchard. I get zero weeds. I flood each tree basin with the hose for 2 minutes when watering, and they can go over 3 weeks without showing any water stress. This past week we got up to 111F and some baby trees got sunburned but otherwise they did fine. Check out my channel for videos. Also I would love to see you break up that concrete pad ;[
South Florida heat is not 120F intense, but the 1000% humidity is a punch in the face every time I walk out the door. With the heat index we have gotten to 105F recently. In the summertime, it rains soooo much that moisture retention is not an issue usually. Wintertime droughts will kill most small trees without mulch, though. Perhaps regulating soil temp and nutrient breakdown and retention would be the best reasons to mulch where I am I think. Then of course moisture retention in the “winter”.
Agreed! It helps to temper the extremes in a person's microclimate, as well as supporting the microfauna and flora in the ground.

What kind of mulch is great for potted fruit trees? Thank you in advance 😃.
Wood Chip mulch is excellent for potted trees as well
I just put another layer of mulch on mine. It's more than a foot. Probably close to two honestly.
You've got the mulch madness!😜
