This is by far the best pruning video I have watched. I’ve seen dozens and this is the only one that shows examples of what happens for each type of cut. Well done.
I just started pruning trees, two weeks ago and watching videos. You’re the only one that explains what happens to the branches after its cut. And that’s what I need. Thank you so much for helping me as a beginner.
My favorite part of the video .... Tuck digging for carrots. So cute ! Oh, and the lessons on thinning cuts, heading cuts, and bench cuts were very helpful and useful. Thank you.
That was probably the best and most informative pruning videos out there! Thanks! I hope, you will put out another one that would explain the proper pruning strategy for the different types of fruit trees.
Thanks, James and Tucker. ❤❤❤ I've got some neglected fruit trees and a grape vine I can apply this to. This is a good explanation of what the cuts actually do.
Hi James! Great video! Love seeing Tuck enjoying his carrots. I hope you’ll do a video on how to prune blueberry bushes. I don’t know if pruning techniques for trees translates over to fruit bushes? I’m a garden newbie so appreciate any tips!
Thank you!!!! This is the best illustration of trimming and heading and all the rest. Most people come learn and have no idea the terms people are using. You explained it perfectly. 🎉
You are an excellent teacher! Showing on the random cut branch to begin with was a great idea. I feel far more confident now about making INFORMED decisions with the pruning shears, rather than copying what others seem to do.
Thank you for a great video. A quick tip when shaping/bending branches into new shape, use a viper wire, wrapped around the branch. Then bend the wire/branch and it should stay in that position. Use bigger gauge wire for thicker branches. This technique works for Bonsai trees and for any other tree training.
Hi, First time, last few yrs planyed nectarine, peach, citrus, apple. Pear. Then i discovered pruning ive benn on a journey, learning for each tree. Your up close video, of the small model, clear simple explanation and results of two cuts has helped very, very much as i travel a little in February to prune a little more with what i have learned. Your a good, clear, fast teacher. God bless you and your life in Jesus name
I just started gardening and am so happy that I found your channel! Need to binge watch as much as I can so I can soak in your knowledge. Also, ❤❤❤ Tuck!!!
There is a lot of how, but few explain the why the way you did. Thank you (and to Tucker)! Thinning, Heading, Bench (advanced Heading), Terminal bud, Angles, “Apical Dominance”… it all makes sense now. Can’t wait till winter to shape the trees.
Thank you!! The other hard part is to decide what kind of pruning to do. On the side note, I'd love to crochet a sweater for Tucker. I just finished crocheting sweater for my senior 16 and 2 month old P:omaranian and Lhasa Apso mixed (he's 9 lbs)
Yes, thank you!!! I’m in AZ and need all the help I can get understanding the Apple and peach tree that are in the backyard of the house we bought. Can’t wait for the next video!!!
My late aunt bought me a pair of those rotating handle Felco pruners almost 25 years ago (before I even had a house). They're still going strong and I think of her whenever I use them.
This was so helpful! It’s been hard for me to understand how to prune my trees and roses to give them a good shape, even after watching many videos. This is a great explanation. Thank you❤
I moved from New Jersey many years ago. I first went to PA. now I am in Illinois. Wish I knew you when I lived in Jersey. You are very informative in pruning trees. Off I go to prune my apple trees. Thanks again!
Tuck reminds me of our sweet little Peaches. Tuck looks just like her, but she was blonder. We still grieve for her almost 30 years later. She was a good old dog. As for the pruning... Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the cuts and what happens and why. I used your technique on my crape myrtles. While I was watching your video, a light came on in my head! Just as fruit can weigh down the limbs, I found that flowers can do the same. I thinned out a lot of little twigs and small branches and made some shaping cuts. We will see what happens when they come back next spring! Good Job James! Kiss that baby boy Tuck for me :)
I. Love. Tuck! I need a gardening companion like that. Great video James. I have an ancient pear tree that could benefit from those two cuts. Thanks much.
Thanks for this informative video. I have been trying to learn how to prune for years, but I am one of those people that needs the explanation of why, when, where....and you shared that!!
Best explanation I ever heard about pruning for effect desired and for the various varieties! Thanks. I needed this right about now here in mid-winter.
Here in the PNW we were hit hard last year with tent catapillers. I only had 2 very small clusters of them, one on my Grannysmith apple and one on a climbing rose. Pruning helps to remove the egg clusters that wrap around the outer stems that they favor.
I'm not sure why I clicked on this video. I guess I wanted to see how much you knew. I was a professional for years and had an orchard in Indiana that I was responsible for. I'm now in upstate NY. Pruning is an art form. I really enjoy doing it. OKay, I got to say you did a great job. You hit all the points. If there was one thing I would add it would be to show the people how the bud you select to cut back to changes the direction of the new growth. You kinda mentioned it but perhaps showing how the buds point in different directions I think it would help those new to pruning fruit trees. But honestly, you did a great job.
I love these videos that give instruction on tree pruning. It's rather complicated when you factor in all the different trees types and how they grow. Thanks for the information and please do follow up with more pruning examples.
Love Tuck! Thanks for the pruning advice. I'm a seasoned gardener but the difference between thinning and heading has not sunk in till now. I appreciate your repetition.❤
You’re a smart cookie James. Your demonstration from start to finish was great! Given me more confidence when next I tackle my 3 apple tree, 2 x dessert and 1 x cooker grafted on the same stock. Rather unique in its own way. It’s 5 yrs old now and I haven’t had the confidence to touch it. Not until now, that is. Keep it up! I’m a follower!! Any further tips for this particular tree would be appreciated.
Hi, James. I loved your "best seeds" video and shared it as I will this one. Congratulations on growing your following as well as a magnificent garden! Glory to God for the abundance we enjoy from the earth. Love to Tuck Tuck. He's the boss! ❤
Great video bro!I'm pruning now in my area,I'm 65 been pruning since the age of ten year's old I love this work best job sites in the country side,and so much food we take too food banks.more people should get in too this around there house or neighbors.later Devo on the cut!!!
James, could you please teach us how to find out if the buds are flower buds or leaf buds on the different kinds of fruit trees that you have? And should the tree be sprayed with dormant oil and copper fungicide before and after pruning? Can’t wait for your next tree winter care video. Thanks!
Look at google images for your specific tree. On my peach trees the fruit buds are larger and fluffier than the leaf buds. As for leaf curl he has many videos but a Google search can help you with that too
Thank you for making this so clear. Other sites’ pruning videos have not helped that much. I’ll watch your videos about peach tree pruning next. It’s time to do that in N. Cal. Much love to Tuck!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥕
I love plants and growing but have difficulties in central Florida with the soil, but this video was so clear and detailed and was pretty cool learning these cuts and what they do and you showed it in detail. Very great video thanks
Thank you!!! That was super understandable. I have an apple tree in my backyard and have researched how to prune. I've always loved your channel and this is why.
Love me some carrot lovin Tuck ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I was happy you made this video, explained more to me on how to prune. I always am leary about pruning because I don’t want to mess up the tree.You guys take care and stay warm, it’s snowing here in SW Washington.
Excellent video. My limited experience has taught me to prune the tree (after 2-3 years) as if to envision its final shape. You can always cut too little, but if you keep the upright & 45 deg branches intact, the apple tree can be magnificent.
This is by far the best pruning video I have watched. I’ve seen dozens and this is the only one that shows examples of what happens for each type of cut. Well done.
Same thoughts, is an excellent video and teaching technique !
I just started pruning trees, two weeks ago and watching videos. You’re the only one that explains what happens to the branches after its cut. And that’s what I need. Thank you so much for helping me as a beginner.
Simple and to the point. I have watched others 30 min videos and still have questions.
My favorite part of the video .... Tuck digging for carrots. So cute ! Oh, and the lessons on thinning cuts, heading cuts, and bench cuts were very helpful and useful. Thank you.
That was probably the best and most informative pruning videos out there! Thanks! I hope, you will put out another one that would explain the proper pruning strategy for the different types of fruit trees.
Check out Orin Martin's pruning videos from UC Santa Cruz, I've learned so much from them!
Thanks, James and Tucker. ❤❤❤ I've got some neglected fruit trees and a grape vine I can apply this to. This is a good explanation of what the cuts actually do.
Grape vine is a bit more complex as grapes will only develop from last year canes.
@@keyd33Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
This is the best pruning video I've seen. Can't thank you enough, James.
A great explanation of what happens with different pruning cuts.
🧡🐾🐾🧡 Seeing your dog, Tuck, dig for fresh carrots was adorable!
Wow, probably the best pruning video I have found. Great work!
💙💙💙👏🏽💙GOOD JOB HARVESTING, CARROTS, TUCK!!
the terminal bud/apical dominance segment was worth the price of admission all by itself ty James!!!
Hello James, I don't have fruit trees but it's so enjoyable to listen to you AND to See Tucker ❤ He's the cutest !!
Thanks Shelly! Yeah he is the cutest, I love that little guy so loyal and so dang sweet! 🐕😁❤️
@@jamesprigioni You guys are quite the "Pear", lol.
My thoughts exactly. ❤
Hi James! Great video! Love seeing Tuck enjoying his carrots. I hope you’ll do a video on how to prune blueberry bushes. I don’t know if pruning techniques for trees translates over to fruit bushes? I’m a garden newbie so appreciate any tips!

Thank you, James. Excellent. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ for Tuck lying down to eat his carrot.
Man, you're making me wanna go outside and prune my peaches... frickin freezing out! 😊
You are an excellent teacher and you share such important information. Thank you

I ABSOLUTELY love all your educational Garden Videos. You are so easy to comprehend and such an excellent Teacher. Hugs for Tuck :)

I used those felco 7 pruners when I worked for grounds maintenance. So worth the money if you’re doing a lot of pruning. Much less fatiguing
I always struggle with pruning my many fruit trees. This explains it all in simple terms!!!! I can do this!! Thanks heaps
Let’s Gooo!!! 🐕😁❤️
I just started gardening and am so happy that I found your channel! Need to binge watch as much as I can so I can soak in your knowledge. Also, ❤❤❤ Tuck!!!

This guy's a good teacher. Im learning to properly prune my fruit trees. Thank you James. Hello from Washington state.
Brilliant. Thanks for explaining this so well.
One of the best pruning vidoes i've seen so far. man it can be intimidating pruning trees especially when they take so long to plant
Yes, thank you!!! I’m in AZ and need all the help I can get understanding the Apple and peach tree that are in the backyard of the house we bought. Can’t wait for the next video!!!
Thank you, James and Tucker, for teaching me how to prune a fruit tree. You made it so easy to understand.
♥🥕♥🥕♥🥕♥ for little man Tucker.
My late aunt bought me a pair of those rotating handle Felco pruners almost 25 years ago (before I even had a house). They're still going strong and I think of her whenever I use them.
Straight to the point, easy to follow, very clear and informed, terminology and definitions, UGH, thank you!!!!
i have been searching for an hour trying to find a good explanation/demonstration of this. it’s helped me understand so much thank you!
This has been the best video on this subject I’ve seen! More of these, please!
This was so helpful! It’s been hard for me to understand how to prune my trees and roses to give them a good shape, even after watching many videos. This is a great explanation. Thank you❤

You and Tucker both have good energy. Makes it an easy watch. Thanks for sharing the content!
You are my favorite gardening channel and I love Tuck!❤❤❤
This is amazing! I feel like I went from clueless to pro in pruning just in this one video. Gonna watch more from you now!
God I wish there are more videos like these on my feed every day
Terimakasih sudah berbagi cara memangkas pohon buah buahan. Ilmu yang manfaat
❤ for Tuck eating his healthy snacks!
Thanks for this informative video. I have been trying to learn how to prune for years, but I am one of those people that needs the explanation of why, when, where....and you shared that!!
TY for the very timely video as I was just about to go prune my mini orchard
Perfect! 🐕😁❤️
Best explanation I ever heard about pruning for effect desired and for the various varieties! Thanks. I needed this right about now here in mid-winter.

You're welcome Paul, and thanks for sending the love to the little boss! 🐕😁❤️

The best pruning instructions on UA-cam, thanks 😊😊😊
Let's Gooo!! No problem Max, me and Tuck are glad you enjoyed it!
😢😢
“Pruning is a stimulant” is an insightful comment for me…the right way to think about pruning! Thanks…very useful new knowledge…

Orin Martin from UC Santa Cruz explains this very well in his videos 😊
You are a great teacher! Thank you!
Your explanation is so simple & clear, now I can prune my persimmon tree confidently! Thanks!
Your videos and your enthusiasm for growing food rocks @JamesPrigioni ! XOXO
❤❤❤ for Tuck and his people! Good information as always thank you.
I love these videos that give instruction on tree pruning. It's rather complicated when you factor in all the different trees types and how they grow. Thanks for the information and please do follow up with more pruning examples.

Thank you for simplifying pruning for this beginning tree owner and garden grower! Love to Tucker 💗❤
Really enjoy your videos with you and Tuck!
Thank you.
Thanks a lot Mr. James, for such a nice presentation on the techniques of pruning a young tree by the various cuts, just keep it up.
this helped me SO much. I've been trying to get a handle on pruning for so long. Thank you!!
Hi, James. I loved your "best seeds" video and shared it as I will this one. Congratulations on growing your following as well as a magnificent garden! Glory to God for the abundance we enjoy from the earth. Love to Tuck Tuck. He's the boss! ❤
Glad to see that Tuck is still doing well! Always enjoy your videos and your energy! Thx for the update. 👍
Great video bro!I'm pruning now in my area,I'm 65 been pruning since the age of ten year's old I love this work best job sites in the country side,and so much food we take too food banks.more people should get in too this around there house or neighbors.later Devo on the cut!!!
❤❤❤ Tuck is so clever! Thanks for simplifying the pruning. Will be reviewing your video, again before pruning our apple trees.
Ive watched a lot of pruning videos and this was the only one that gave helpful information. Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ for The Little Boss and an informative video!
thank you. I've got 12 fruit trees that I don't know how to prune. ill be getting to work in winter 😊
❤tuck is so cute looking for his own carrots. Nice video for pruning apple trees.
James, could you please teach us how to find out if the buds are flower buds or leaf buds on the different kinds of fruit trees that you have? And should the tree be sprayed with dormant oil and copper fungicide before and after pruning? Can’t wait for your next tree winter care video. Thanks!
Yes I need to learn about spraying my trees too had leaf curl last year and got no fruit on my Nikita’s gift persimmon :(
Look at google images for your specific tree. On my peach trees the fruit buds are larger and fluffier than the leaf buds. As for leaf curl he has many videos but a Google search can help you with that too
First buds on my plum tree are flower buds
@@DiggingDeepVlogyup. My peach trees have fluffy buds that flower. The smaller ones are the leaves.
Good job my friend
Thank you for making this so clear. Other sites’ pruning videos have not helped that much. I’ll watch your videos about peach tree pruning next. It’s time to do that in N. Cal. Much love to Tuck!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥕
I love plants and growing but have difficulties in central Florida with the soil, but this video was so clear and detailed and was pretty cool learning these cuts and what they do and you showed it in detail. Very great video thanks
James’s energy is contagious ❤❤❤🥰🥰. I have to watch his videos everyday 😂
This is the best pruning video I’ve seen! Thanks for doing what you do. Lots of ❤❤❤ for Tuck.
When winter goes away, i'll start mine. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Great info. I live in Thailand and have about 100 lamyai trees. I never know how to prune them. Until now. Cheers.
I always learn something when I watch you - and as a Yorkie mom? Of courseI LOVE Tuck!!!
Beautiful teaching, thank you for this super-clear lesson.
Cool lesson. He is so happy and human ❤ Tuck.
Thank you!!! That was super understandable. I have an apple tree in my backyard and have researched how to prune. I've always loved your channel and this is why.
Such a great way to explain cutting back fruit trees, thank you! Going to trim my fig back soon since it has gotten huge ❤️❤️❤️
love that swiveling handle on the felcos.
Yeyyyy🤗hi James🤗looking forwards for this spring and summer vids👍🏼sending Tucks some love❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, James! Just what I needed to see before pruning my two trees today! You are the best!
Love all your info!! now i know how!! thanks to beautiful Tuck!! i just love him! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great explanation, never understood this but the rules seem simple!
Love me some carrot lovin Tuck ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I was happy you made this video, explained more to me on how to prune. I always am leary about pruning because I don’t want to mess up the tree.You guys take care and stay warm, it’s snowing here in SW Washington.
Спасибо!!! Ваши объяснения просты, наглядны и хорошо запоминаются. Успехов Вам и всем здоровья...
Excellent video. My limited experience has taught me to prune the tree (after 2-3 years) as if to envision its final shape. You can always cut too little, but if you keep the upright & 45 deg branches intact, the apple tree can be magnificent.
Ok James, I have watched all of your pruning videos and always appreciate each new one! Thanks from Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I was a little confused at first couple min in but then it all became very clear :)
Had to share this one to Facebook, really well put together with explanations. thanks!
Thank you. I got my two apple trees last October and since i only have a balcony in the city, I need to prune them well.
