    "This one here, I don't like it, I'm going to take it off, and that's how it's going to be." Made me smile. Fantastic video! Got my peaches all pruned yesterday and I understood why I needed to make each cut! There were a few though that had me waffling and then I remembered your comment above. :)

      @8th C.Elisabeth I was going to get cherries too, but they only had one variety in stock, so i got apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, nectarine. Tried to get all disease resistant and dwarf but I grabbed a couple of half-standard Apples I'll put on the north end. How close do you think I should put them along the woods? There's one Maple in the area that has branches stretching 25' out and over the area I want to plant.

      What happens if you prune a young peach tree in the spring? I missed pruning in the winter because I didn’t know to prune it then. Not sure if I should go ahead and prune it now or wait until this winter. It’s a 2 year old tree.

  • @tomst9417
    @tomst9417 Рік тому +3

    This is very timely for me as I will soon be pruning my peach trees. Last year I didn't prune enough of the 1 year old wood and subsequently the trees had too many peaches, more than the branches could support. Both of my trees then lost limbs during a severe thunderstorm, they were overburdened with the heavy fruit and snapped off of the main branches. Glad to hear Tuck is doing better!

  • @kele1264
    @kele1264 Рік тому +7

    Very nice to see you James! I think that every time I see you prune a tree, I understand it better. It seems like peach trees must grow very fast to need so much pruning each year. I love the idea of keeping the tree short, and taking very good care of it. Looking forward to your next video. Good health and happiness to you and yours! Hugs, kissies, and well-wishes for Tuck!

    Great reminder for me to get out and prune my peach trees.
    Also, in case you missed it... there is a Spotted Lantern Fly egg case on the main branch..it is at 1 min. 47 sec.
    They really infested my young fruit trees last year.
    Good luck to you and the Tuck this season.

    Pruned today using your methods. Your explanation made it all clear. I shaped five interspecific plumcots, dapple dandy etc. into 3-5 base trunks growing into scaffolds. The company had already lopped off the main trunk but never would have known to snip off hugely long ends shooting into the sky. Thanks!

I've watched a lot of vids trying to figure out what to do with it. THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE MOST HELPFUL I've seen.

    James I watched your video several times. Been waiting for better weather but finally decided to put on snow boots ski gloves and heavy coat. We keep getting snow. But I pruned my peach tree today. Last year I followed your instructions and pruned my tree. We had a late freeze. I had a tall friend help me clamp tarps on the limbs. I only lost peach’s in one small area where the wind blew the tarp up. This year I got braver and pruned heavier. Thank you for your great close up instructions! Looking forward to great lemon Alberta peaches again this year.

We have had so much wind this year (Northern California), and branches keep snapping. We should be able to pick our fruit within the next week or 10 days. That's for sharing your knowledge!
