Hoping to start a small orchard in the next year or so. Great information!! Thanks for sharing.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Very cool. Hope you get those trees in. They take a while to produce.

2 years ago, old apple tree lost 75% of its branches. There are lots of new vigorous sprouts now. I'm thinking I should remove all the tiny fruits so the energy will be spent on new growth.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

That is probably a good idea.

Thanks for the info I have a grafted Starfruit tree and it's blooming but the tree is about to 4ft tall

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Cool

Why does Leviticus 19:23 say not eat the fruit for 3 years from a young tree

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I am sure it is to help the fruit tree gain strength and become established. God surely knows best.

Dang I’ve got a young pumpkin plant and I really don’t want to remove the baby pumpkin growing. But I know it’s struggling

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Pumpkins are different. I am talking about fruit trees.

[@laurae8561]

When do you stop plucking the fruit?

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Year 2. If you have a potted fruit tree from the nursery that is a year old, then remove the fruit the next year and you should be good.

Darn, i bought a tree last fall, and it’s got over 50 peaches already...i really don’t want to pick em😭

[@CountryLivingExperience]

It is best for the tree usually. You can pick 75% off and it may still be good depending on how established the roots are. It is about getting the tree as healthy as it can be first.

[@democratpro]

@@CountryLivingExperience there were over 100 on the smallest tree😭

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Oh wow. That is a lot.

[@democratpro]

@@CountryLivingExperience two other trees, 50% bigger, only had 5-6 on them. I have no idea why the small one had so many.

[@usamasultan1909]

but it hurts to take them off haha

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I totally understand.
