A young pawpaw does well in the shade.
What about avocados, which are so sensitive to sunburn? Would morning light and dappled afternoon light be enough?
Tom Spellman is the man! My backyard fruit tree guru. 😀
Tom IS the man. His videos got me planting fruit trees 11 years ago, and I would wait anxiously for every new vid to come out. It's been great to be able to connect with him on this. 😃
Aloha hugs 🤗 from Hawaii if you give this a heart 10 10 20 my Passion Fruit loves Left over Rice ,I cut back my Passion fruit because the fruit could not get Sun a bug was trying to get it ant so we are Boric acid for ands Epsom Salt now Im making cutting for others I love Yellow best, GBY videos
I grew a semi dwarf Jonathan apple in the very same sunlight exposure. It was soooo prolific for over 30 yrs!! Thank you so much for this info for those of us who have limited space and sun exposure for our trees. I'm in Escondido.
It's amazing how different trees respond to dappled/shady spots! I was grateful to have Tom chime in on this topic most people don't often consider.
@TheBusyGardener yes.. love Mr. tom Spellmans input on fruit trees, such valuable knowledge he shares with us. I have a few trees from Dave's Nursery. Thank you for this video.
I found out It takes exrea steps/ far more work to use T-grafting onto peach trees. The bark does not separate easily/ cleanly like apple tree bark seems to. I have to use a X-acto knife to peal the bark back, then scrape the rest of the bark off the white solid part of the tree before I can put in the scion. It still seems it will likely work.
I will see soon.
I've heard that Panamint is not a good tasting fruit. Apparently the birds wont even eat it. Doubt more sun will help with the taste. Double delight is said to be the best yellow nectarine for So Cal.
It was legitimately bitter and not very good in the shade. With more sunlight on the tree, the fruit grew tasty this season! That said, I FAR prefer double delight, and especially Spice-Zee Nectaplum to most other peachy fruit we've got growing.
Thank you both! I have learned a lot from Tom S and TBG!
Great video topic
Thanks!
I purchased a multi-variety pluot tree from the company Tom works for after discovering him on UA-cam. I've had the tree for 5 years now, and it has never set fruit. Zone 7b, correct amount of chill hours, full sun. Sooooo disappointing. The other fruit trees I've purchased that came from the company Tom works for, have all done well.
Paw paw in partial shade?
