    I told Tom Spellman that he changed my life by saying I could plant trees much closer together than I ever would have dared. Thank you, Tom: I have many more trees and varieties than I otherwise would!

    Start: Control tree size.
    5:15 grow successive ripening varieties.
    5:47 grow what you enjoy.
    6:12 know your microclimate in each area of your property and tree selection for each microclimate.
    7:37 understand root stock and choose root stock for adaptability to soil condition and weather, not size control. Summer pruning for size control, winter pruning for detail.
    8:51 raised beds (cherry doesn’t like heavy wet soil).
    9:46. Problem you can’t identify, call arborist and how to collect sample to show arborist.
    11:53 mulch- 4 benefits: 1- keeps ground 10-20 degrees cooler for fine feeder root protection. 2-better use of irrigation water by 50% bottom line savings. 3- bio activity of soil: mycorrhizae, earth worms, bacteria, beneficial fungi that helps roots access nutrients in soil. 4- control weed seeds. Except rhizatious grasses. Control Bermuda grass before laying down mulch layer.
    14:28 Fertilizer use low nitrogen (green vigorous growth) high phosphorous and potash (root stability, growth of fruiting and flowering wood) to have more fruit at a younger age.
    15:30 get back to farming, get your hands dirty, get fresh air, sunshine, exercise, quality time with SO & family, enjoy what you’ve produced.

    Well said Tom, gardening makes us human again and connects us back to mother earth. More people need to get back to basics and appreciate the roots that have been with us for centuries.

    When I was in my early 20's I thought drinking and partying was a good life. When I calmed down I saw tiny apples on am overgrown apple tree. I mow prune my applw tree amd get tons of apples. I stay home om the weekends and weed my garden. I havent had to buy a tomato in years. I only grow 8 tomato plants but they get 7 feet tall and produce 40 or so on my better boys and early girls to a couple hundred on my husky cherry plants. I spend two days a year canning the tomatoes a cant eat. I grow strawberries and make jelly and ice cream. I still can't grow peaches though lol.

      Wow what a testimony . That’s awesome . Let me tell you mine too:
      I ate junk food my entire life I mean all day everyday until I became ill. That’s when I had to look for a solution to heal myself and stop ending up in the hospital all the time because it was reducing my quality of life. So I discovered that plants/trees had healing properties in them . From then I became addicted to garden and growing different varieties of trees. Let’s just say I’m glad I found a positive addiction 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    All I can say is Wow Dave! Your no nonsense approach to growing is phenomenal. I have looked at more gardening videos for expert advice than I would like to admit . I will not hesitate to say that your video is by far superior to any that I have seen. Thank you so very much for your vast knowledge and expertise. The wife and I are retired veterans and absolutely love being outside enjoying Gods splendor and miracles. We have a small orchard on 20 acres of land in the southern Ozarks of Missouri. An absolute gorgeous piece of land that God so graciously allows us to steward. I will certainly put to use the advice you have so generously provided in making me and my wife's little slice of heaven that much nicer. God bless you and your family my friend. Keep up the fantastic work. Rob Lundberg (a recent and grateful new subscriber).

    I was inspired by one of your previous videos on this subject and I planted 240 mango, avocado and lychee trees on my 1/2 acre corner lot as a result. And on my lot is a 3400 sq ft house with a pool. This new video really gave more ideas especially your little to no nitrogen suggestion. Thanks again.

    @rabelad 12 років тому +2

    This is an excellent video as an introduction to backyard fruit production. I spent 15 years as an orchardist then another 15 years as our area's arborist.This film has all good information but I only have an issue about one detail: you did a major pruning of a deciduous tree before the fall leaf drop. By pruning with the leaves too early, before dormancy, it denies the tree the sugar that the discarded leaves would have produced and stored away in the tree for the following spring growth.

  • @o00oZu1o00o
    @o00oZu1o00o 13 років тому +4

    you just answered in a single vid the 2 questions I really needed to get an answer to and couldn't find (possibility to control size of fruit trees without regard to the size the same tree would have if it could grow unhindered, and value of raised beds for fruit trees).
    Thanks a lot, and this is maybe the best gardening vid I have seen, awesome garden and great info.

    Tom is Me.
    These are the things I have done and they work even outside CA.
    Know your personal micro-clime.
    I had to go from rainy southern Lake Michigan to rocky, semi-drought Ozark terrain.
    We have lots of deer...an added factor to fruit trees. Lots of birds, butterflies, flies, bees, predators and prey insects galore.
    These all sound beautiful and they are; they also bring caterpillars, maggots and environmental balance issues.
    Everyone needs to tune themselves to their own ecology.

  • @hfortenberry
    @hfortenberry 4 роки тому +1

    Thank you so much for reiterating that you need to prune the tree for size instead of trying to find the right root-stock or species. It took me forever to get comfortable with the idea that I will use pruning to keep my tree the way I want it. I usually tend to purchase plants based on their natural habitat but it's different with a lot of these fruit trees. I've been doing rough espalier's the last few years because my backyard is so tiny and I find it's working out just fine. :-)

    This is so helpful, matter of fact and not all uptight like some gardening videos I've seen.

Thanks!

    This was amazingly informative! I bought Ann Ralph’s book on keeping trees small and she mentioned the Dave Wilson nursery numerous times which led me here.

I now can forge ahead with my backyard orchard!!

    You saved me a lot of money by showing me that I do not have to follow industry standards. And that I can prune down the trees. I thought I had to grow them to full size. You also showed me how to grow cherries. Plus, that root stock is selected for hardiness and not size. I thought the opposite. I will just have to continue to do my studying and when I am ready. Use my micro climate to plant the trees. You showed me that too. Thank you for all the good advice.

    @jan6832 8 років тому +2

    I absolutely love this! So glad to hear other people who think like me from a totally different part of the globe. The part about differentiating back yard culture from commercial, was particularly helpful, as I was just about to uproot my tall trees, when all I need to do is control their growth. But my absolute favourite was that, "Back yard orchard culture allows us to get back to our roots and get back healthy.". It has certainly worked for me......minus a few injuries. Lol Thank you so much. One question. Does controlling the size of the tree control how the roots spread, or do I have to still be wary or planting to close to a house/foundation or wall, so the roots won't do damage? Thanks again.

    Water rot! That is what killed my previous attempt at Cherry trees, it makes so much sense now. Putting them slightly above grade is so smart, thank you so much. I specifically remember the roots being so wet, and the trees were dead dead dead. We over mulched, like, 6inches of mulch because they were in the chicken run with a bunch of straw for the chickens to scratch through. I want cherry trees so much, and I'm attempting one last time this year.

    @Chris-pj1os 10 років тому

    Thanks so much Tom! Your videos always help to keep me fired up for growing food. A friendly addition to your presentation: I get my mulch for free from my area tree service. I track them down in my neighborhood when I see them working, and ask them to drop the chippings at my house. In my case, our local service knows that I want to avoid eucalyptus or pine. Since I live in an older neighborhood, with lots of humongous ash, jacaranda, etc, I have no problem getting tree chippings from healthy trees.

    You really saved me a lot of trouble. I was convinced by a nursery that I had to have an orchard with spacing of 35 feet between my apples. I also thought that I had to grow 30' commercial standard trees. You showed me that I can have my own trees at a workable size and have multiple varieties. I was planning to just buy one variety of each kind of fruit tree. Antonovka apple, chokecherry, black cherry, dutchess apple, and american native plum. I thought I had to grow them commercially.

    Wow, thank you so much for the commonsense advice. My favorite piece of advice is the considering our own property aspects. So many people give generals when it comes to planting, watering and such. Almost nobody asks us to consider our specific location and situation.
    We planted last fall and are newbies at this backyard orchard hobby, but fresh fruit is our passion. I have tons of questions, but I am going to watch your other videos before I start asking.

    My first word - WOW! Great video. I wanted to start a back yard orchard and was skeptical, now I'm excited. Can't wait to get started.

    True advice. I'm planting out a half acre. My only concerns are to get enough for my family and get my garden tractor around the trees to keep things tidy. I plant in groups of three in a triangle to permit pollinators good access to do their job. I have three apples, three plums, two low chill self fruitful cheeries, three pears and two bananas that I'll propgate, and an alond & two hazels. More than plenty for us bringing us gret showy flowers and fruit.

      How did it go, Midwest Gardener? This video inspired me to start my orchard 7 years ago, and now I've got a youtube channel sharing what I've learned! Tom Spellman is the man.

    Wonderful explanation, I started watching your videos today. Thank you so much for sharing and making it so easy to understand especially for a beginner gardener like me. You have beautiful cherry trees. I actually wanted to try growing one in my yard but I have limited space and I was thinking of growing it in a container. Great advice with the mulching. I live in the tropics so it's hot 24/7, I now see the value of mulching my plants

    Thank You, for all the info, it was really helpful, I currently have a peach tree growing from seed that is about 4 feet tall, I prune it once, I will trim it again in the winter, to keep it the size I want. I love your video, simple and interesting info, thanks.
