I love this video. I come back and watch it at least once a year. Can you guys do an update on this backyard? I would love to see how it’s grown. With Tom spelman too, of course :)
I second this! I'd love to see an update. =)
very inspiring. Ive watched this probably ten times over the years
You guys were so ahead of your time making these videos. It's great to see the uptick in produce gardens.
Wow! What an incredible yard. Imagine if every home in a subdivision was designed and managed this way!
Great Vid guys! keep it up
One of the best uses of space in the garden I have ever seen. We use about every inch on our homestead but this is impressive.
Stop making such inspiring videos Tom. Now earlier today I had to go buy 10 Dave Wilson fruit trees from H&H Nursery in Lakewood CA. I think I will buy more tomorrow, just so I can have a piece of what this yard has. WOW should have started years ago.
Hi from Australia. That is an exceptional planting. The trees down the fence line beside the house were getting minimal sun but appeared fine. Thanks for this tour, the density is inspiring. I love espaliers, childhood memories, those figs were gorgeous. Came here from another channel which was a backyard food forest in years, 1,2,3 - high density, wood chip hugel culture. Best of luck with everything.
My God! That landscaping could provide food for the entire community! They could eat fruit 3 x's day long all year! That's amazing!
Its beautiful to See that even in a small yard you can have an orchard of many fruits Trees and edible plants.
Awesome yard!! Good job owner and thank you for sharing it with us!
So inspiring! I will try this with my tiny yard
Wow, what a great yard! I've just started some espalier in my yard. So far just four fruit trees. Seeing this makes me wish I would have started years ago.
What a wonderful fruit forest she has on such a small area. And those clips are awesome. I actually need to get some more of them this year.
15:59 wow. I learned so much and am so inspired by this video. I love the focus on being able to enjoy what getting back to nature and enjoy what we produce. Us gardeners are different. Can’t wait to try these tips.
That's just beautiful....I'm sure the home owners association can't complain about that!
That was a beautiful piece of property
I have been collecting fruit trees for about five years now as I was renting and now we just landscaped ower property next weekend I start planting them in the ground soil conditions aren't the greatest so I'm going to raise the beds a little and thanks to this vid I'm going to do the same with the wire thank you for the inspiration 👍🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🍎🍏🍐🍑🍓🥑
Beautiful. I love to see all those fruit trees. FIgs and persimmons are definitely on my favorites list.
This is so awesome - what an inspiration! I can't wait to espalier some apple trees in our south facing back yard - I wish I had thought of this 10 years ago! Thanks for the video!
Did you end up espaliering any trees after making this comment 7 years ago? You know what they say - the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is right now.
@@zeruzio1345 Yes!-- I did an "organic" espalier form. Sounds clever, huh?😏 It just means that I'm lazy and didn't put in any support structure for the trees, so now they have gotten out of hand and need a major pruning this year.😒
I love that quote -- it's SO TRUE!💗
@@zeruzio1345 best saying ever hahahah
They've got me beat; I have 35 different fruits.
So beautiful!
Brilliantly planted fruit trees and awesome garden UK
Pink floyd playing in the background made this video even more epic
Still waiting for an update! :D I LOOOOOVE this yard! :D
This lady or the gardener should have their own You Tube channel
Wowwzers! This is an amazing yard and makes me wish I lived in that zone. I have some espaliered Asian pear and apples, but would LOVE to have a fig! Too cold in the Rockies though.... Great show and tell. Thanks!
Susie Q Desert King Fig is your answer
REALLY?? Zone 4-5 and soil on the alkaline side? This is super exciting news for me!!
Susie Q Desert King - Zone 6, early fruit set and if warmer environment sets fruit twice a year.
Susie Q Can be easily potted
very nice small space with big ideas
I'd love to see an update to this 12 years on
Wow amazing
@rajiee1 The oldest trees are about 15 years old. Plenty of places in Sac, all the Capital locations, Green Acres, Silverado.. one of these is bound to have them. Apple, cherry and pear trees come already started. It's easy to do yourself, but fairly time consuming. Takes lots of pruning.
Amazing.. close proximity
Amazing!!!!!
Incredible!
Hi Tom, who designed and installed for the homeowner? I need some help with a design for my home.
Hi Dave i really like all you video. I saw all the video from your backyard ochard. I woul like to make a espalier barckyard fruit orchard. I would like to do a 3 to 4 row that will be 64 feet long. How many tree would you put on a row, what would be the best spacing between trees?? Can you can give me a hand on that. the orchard will be compose of cherry plume, peach, apple, peare, apricot and ...
Thank you for your help
This is fantastic, but I have ask, what about birds, squirrels, raccoons and rats? I have cherry, apple, orange and other trees, and most of their output is stolen by the local animals.
Traps, baits, repellents, dogs and cats. All effective when used accordingly. You can also consult with a local professional exterminator service. All of the home spun remedies I have tried have only been marginally effective at best.
I have over a half of acre of land to plant fruit trees and was going to plant them 6' off the boundary walls and let them grow normal. I can now use this technique to grow more fruit and also ensure the neighbors can't get an any of it.
Mikerino Eggerino a little bit greedy
Amazing 🤩
Sir very interesting my dreams project.
Phenomenal
great you inspired me a lot.its nice to see people who have similar hobbies.the plants are so green and healthy can you reply me how the plants get sufficient sun light.sir
They are pruned to keep the centers open for sun and air.
Beautiful
@grimbitter Cross pollination is desired. The variety traits will not change, you don't get change until you plant the seeds of cross-pollinated fruits and grow them into fruit bearing trees.
Wonderful💝💝💝~
I have a neighbor whose two story house looks right into my backyard. Unfortunately we had a falling out so I'm trying to not make the situation worse. I'd like to plant some privacy hedges and this video with fruit trees along the back wall seemed like a great idea instead of a juniper or the like, however, I'd like to know what type of fruit trees I can trellis along the back wall so it doesn't overflow into their backyard? I have limited mobility so it is difficult for me to trim these trees but with trellising them I'm hoping I won't need to trim them. Also, if I can, is it possible/feasible to create a trellis about 6 feet tall to again help with the privacy issue? Thanks
AMAZING
This is the best video ever!
no, dear, due to the trees being next to the concrete, roots will eventually take over and crumble the houses foundation.
well done. I have been doing something very similar to my own yard.
Impressive!
GOALS
Thank You.
"Granny Smith and Pink Lady" Lmao
All you need now is some espalier weed plants via the scrog method
I also would lime to know about the amount of sun some of these trees seem to be getting. I have some simular spaces in my yard and would love to put in some more fruit. Not looking for perfect, just acceptable results.
Ron H Best exposure for any fruit tree is full sun, anything less will compromise fruit quality. 6 to 8 hours or more is ideal.
i want a yard like that
Bro snapped
Wow!
i new grow apples in fence like shape but did't know grow oranges that way.
What are the brackets that hold your pipes together? specifically things that hold ends of pipes and attach to the bigger pipe? Thank you
I didn't 'know you could plant trees that close.
Esther as long as you have good sun exposure and don’t mind the pruning work required, this is an extreme example of what can be done.
@@DaveWilsonTrees That is exciting! How close are these trees next to each other?
Esther as close as two feet.
@@DaveWilsonTrees What a fantastic showcase! But if the walkway is, as you say, 4 feet wide, then, most of the main trees are only 4 feet away from the house! I don’t mind paying for the annual pruning, but is it safe, to plant fruit trees (I love all sorts of plums) ONLY 4 feet away from house foundations?
Dave, The apple part of the video. Is the bed a raised bed, meaning is there concerte under the trees at foot level?
No, nothing under the bed. Elevating the planting in a raised bed saves the tree from drowning in poor draining soil.
I have a question.I live in Florida and I wanted to plant some citrus trees spaced close to each other. Is that possible or even advisable?
Absolutely possible and advisable. I have citrus hedges planted at four and six feet apart. Also many multi planting's of three and four in one hole. Most planted in the 1980's, growing and producing great. Have fun and be creative with it. Tom
Thanks!
Great
สวยมาก😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
wow!
Espaliered citrus, figs and stone fruits!!! I would say this is Photoshopped! :-)
Do the tree roots not break the concrete?
that's what i want to know. 2 yrs later and no answer. i've read to not place trees close to a house, especially certain ones such as fig for example will tear a foundation up.
Depending on the root stock and soil. I have Marianna 26-24 for 7 years on one tree and it's so shallow that I can shake the tree. The trunk is about 3" in diameter. www.davewilson.com/product-information-general/rootstock/comparisons (I about to move the tree because is didn't really produce fruit - self pollinate : that flowers every year)
From what I gathered from other youtube videos of DWN master gardener classes, they said that as long as the top of the plant is maintained in balance with the area you want it to grow in, then the roots tend to follow accordingly. That comment was made in relation to potted trees, but I figure that it would function the same way for these espaliered trees. One thing that keeps cropping up though is that figs and mulberries are notorious for having roots extend far beyond the crown spread, so be wary of those.
I wish for more information where it was and the transformation
The house is in Rancho Cucamonga, near Chaffee college. Not sure about the transformation, but Tom Spellman was her advisor.
Hoa didn’t bother them growing in the front?
could u tell me every thing that was in her or his yard please
how old is this landscape? where can i buy these espaliar trees? i live in sacramento. is it easy to train my trees to espaliar?
What is the spacing for the espalier trees?
My little research is going on in Faridpur district of Bangladesh, taking this amazing fruit tree. My big wish is to spread this quality delicious and medicinal fruit trees to the finest of the country
Is this technique suitable for states have over than 50 degree and less than 20% relative humidity or not?
Most of these fruit trees usually need colder winters where it is colder than 7 degrees Celsius. Figs grow well in in my climate with less than 20% humidity and 47-48 heat, they don't need cold. You might be able to grow mangoes, coconuts, avocados, etc.
I would worry about tree roots getting in house and fence.
Hate to burst you bubble. but there goes the foundation.
How much sun do the espalier plums get? I have a wall I want to use for espalier peaches and plums. I live on a subtropical island, but the area gets only 2hours of direct sun a day
Looks great thanks for sharing!!!
I will never understand why people will put a bush right up against a window blocking up the view. Kind'a defeats the purpose.
Yes, unless the bush is more attractive than the view. Also, A deciduous bush will give you summer shade, then winter sun. Or it can block the view from outside.
The argument following these comments is... don't put a window there! :)
@@MasterKenfucius
My house is about 10 feet from my neighbors on both sides, and I plant grapevines over the windows to sheild the view and the sun in summer. It is really nice. If I had a beach or mountain view I would not bother to do that, but I prefer it. The natural color and movement of the leaves is really nice.
Which of those words don't you understand?
awesome just give me a chair and a knife free food all day im vegetarian anyways ,fruitarian
Okay. It's awesome that you want to pick a fight on the internet, although I would have thought you could do better than a four-month-old UA-cam comment, but bro, seriously. I really just don't care what you think.
Take 1 day off from maintaining that and you should just give up.
Don't you run the risk of cross-pollination with the trees crammed so close together? I'd be worried none of your varieties would breed true after a season or two.
What makes you think they are breeding?
