Kyle, I'm a Master Gardener and on tons of gardening sites. I post your vids very often due to your way of demonstrating and natural talking style. Many people are afraid of making that first cut.
@@urbanfarmstead Kyle, I'm waiting for your 2nd year summer pruning vid. Also would you kindly include for new pruning folks, how to tell where the fruit will grow? So a little about spurs, tip bearing, and pruning a fig (when and how) since they fruit on new wood. Thanks I think that would really help folks.
You inspired me to plant a mini orchard for my family. In January, we planted 2 figs, a 4 in 1 apple, a fruit salad (apricot, plum, peach, nectarine), a pear, a donut peach, and a mango. I did my 1st pruning cuts just yesterday and I don’t think I would have had the confidence to do so if I had not seen your summer pruning video. Watching this video today is like looking into the future. I hope my trees grow as well as yours and look forward to all your future videos.
Fruit trees are amazing. I'm in lower Alabama. I grew up with'em, so as kids we'd just pick a snack--satsumas, figs, blackberries, & banana trees(they took over the yard, just spread all over, my mom dug them up by roots, drug them to the burn pile & even after burning them they just kept growing with bananas ready to eat). Now, like 15yrs later, those bananas just won't stop growing (even as she uses the burn pile)!!!--- so many grew outta the burn pile my brother in law used them to line his fence & I'm going to try to pull up about 6, to share with my neighbor.
Thank you for a another great video. I really like how you showed the past pruning done on all these trees so we can see the growth over time. Like the way how you explained in detail what and which branches to prune. Learned a lot and give me more confidence to prune my year old fruit trees. Thank you.
I appreciate your interest in pruning. I have a few pointers. When you use pruning shears, the blade should be closest to the portion you are going to retain so that you have a nice smooth cut that heals well. Many of your cuts have the anvil towards the portion, you are retaining,thereby crushing the vulnerable branch collar or the tissue at the end of the heading cut. if you want your tree to live a long time, it’s important not to cut off more than 20% of the live vegetation per year. They can of course survive when you remove more than that, but it is stressful to them because their food supply has been greatly reduced as the leaves provide the food for the tree. When the tree is able, it will produce a lot of water sprouts, some call them suckers, in order to replace that lost food supply. This fast replacement growth is subsequently weak. Trees with few or no dormant buds under the bark are unable to replace enough of this food source and are stressed and often subsequently die early. Peach trees, for example have an average lifespan of only nine years due to the lack of dormant buds to make up for over pruning. apple trees fare better due to having many water sprout sites. Heading cuts should only be used as a last resort to completely removing a branch or a leader.Heading cuts can be valuable in training young Wood. When trees are over pruned they are stressed and stressed trees invite insect infestation. The strongest tree form is the one that nature developed for trees over millennia, that is as a strong central leader. If you go to the forest, my teacher, you will see that most trees grow with one strong central leader. Most of the pruning that I do is to make up for the fact that the tree is not in the forest, and I try to mitigate the problems that causes. Heading cuts heal very slowly, which allows rot to get in and carbohydrates to dissipate from the trees reserves which are stored inside the wood. Most homeowners would do well to plant true dwarf trees, rather than semi dwarf or standard trees. True dwarf trees need extremely limited pruning and begin to produce well within 3 to 4 years. Go to the forest grasshopper for she is a good teacher!
Trees with fruits this large would not exist in the forest without humans. There is no peach or apple tree as we know it without thousands of years of artificial selection.
I see a true passion when u wait seasons and put entire in single vedio.🎉really appreciate ur work in ur garden alongwise ur effort u put in ur vedios 4 us.thanks .
Your videos are, by far, are the best series I have ever seen. As commented by others, your before and after, cause and effect, approach is an extremely effective learning tool! In addition, I have never seen any pruning video where the presenter had a more consistent (and accurate) use of terms (heading, thinning, tipping)! Thank you for all your work! One suggestion for future videos. Try and work in the filming of how you use iso-propyl alcohol spray on your pruning shears as you move from tree to tree. It would be a good reminder to all of us for preventing disease transfer in the orchard! Keep up the exceptional work!
Thank you so much! Ive mentioned cleaning my pruners that way in a few of my pruning videos, but you're right, I should Include that information in each pruning video
I’m growing Many fruit trees and have always only pruned in late winter. After reading a book about how to keep fruit trees small by pruning in mid June I’ve learned that winter pruning causes more growth and summer pruning controls the size. Thanks for a good video.
Such a great video! The then and now editing is a huge help to see just how they grew based on the cuts you made. Extremely helpful for conceptualizing what you’re teaching here. We just put in a mini orchard and really appreciate this. Thank you!
My trees have all been planted and we are getting ready to go into autumn so I wanted to prune them before winter hits. I'm so glad I found your videos because now I have the confidence and the fear is less when it comes to cutting back my fruit trees.
Just found you as we're working on a small orchard garden in our backyard here in the north of Aotearoa New Zealand. A new experience so I've been looking for helpful tips. So many You-tubers (especially in the U.S. if I may respectfully say so, though not so much in the gardening section, I hasten to add), are so busy promoting themselves with show-biz style presentation and whizz-bang shouty histrionics, that it is such a pleasure to find your low key, practical and down to earth and detailed explanations of what is needed and why. Easy to listen to and a tremendous help. Many thanks and best wishes from the bottom of the world.
Definitely the best pruning video on the Internet. Thanks to you before I made any cuts I watched many videos on UA-cam and none had me feeling more confident to do my cuts than yours. My mini orchard consists of 8 trees. And some of them are 4-5 years old and some are 2-3 and 1.5 years old.... Here in 9b Arizona I'm trying my best and thanks to you and your knowledge I appreciate you
I’ve been in the (slow) process of establishing a sustainable urban homestead on our property over the past four years, beginning with garden plots and only recently adding fruit trees this past spring. That makes me a total fruit tree n00b. I planted my first Wonderful pom, Santa Rosa plum, and Black Jack fig trees, and I’ve watched a LOT of pruning how-to videos. This is by far the most informative and comprehensive video I’ve watched about it. Thank you for your thorough explanations on why and how the pruning methods benefit the growth of the tree. You’ve got a new subscriber!
Wow! I have been watching videos after videos trying to get an idea of how to prune a couple young trees I have. This one video of yours is IT! Perfect! Thank you!
Thank you for giving your knowledge to a first time grower of fruit tree. I've watched many videos on this subject & i found your video more understandable & easy to understand, some videos can get pretty complicated & honestly, scary!😮. I have a 2 yr old peach tree that hasn't been pruned & now i feel its time for her pruning. Thank you fir the knowledge & confidence to tackle my 1st pruning. I will follow your progress with your trees & hopefully I will get the same results, as im in zone 7 NC & im learning that i can grow certain fruit trees here, so your help is a valuable opportunity to do it right & one day have a beautiful fruit tree garden. Again thank you & God bless you & your fruit tree journey .🙏 🌹
Best videos on pruning that I have watched, I have started my own orchard and your videos have been an inspiration and my guide. Thank you so much, I look forward to many more to come. I am watching all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 .
I'm so grateful for then and now. I have huge out of control small orchard here that I didn't know I could safely approach in the summer. Will use these guidelines and keep following. Probably the most informative and concise source I've found yet. Much love for this channel ♡
Thank you!!! Your video was so helpful for my husband and I, this is our first time pruning our fruit trees, very nervous, yet your video made it simple and easy to do. Glad your located in Central Valley as are we, Modesto! Also we too have a backyard orchard, Love it!
Your video is so educational. I am 30 years old and have been farming nearly 2,000 acres in the central valley for 10 years now and can literally count the number of farmers who have the knowledge of pruning you describe. Keep up the amazing work I definitely learned something new!!
Man. I can’t tell you how much you’ve helped me. I have a new 23 fruit tree orchard and I always get confused. You really broke it down. I know I can do it now!!!
Lots & lots of cuts! 17:34 Not for the faint of heart. 19:40 But - Thanks for the dated and time lapsed video showing the past pruning sessions and very detailed explanations. It is good to see the growth in one season. I am gathering courage to do some pruning.
Hi from New Zealand. I have many fruit trees and have just been sort of winging it over the last few years, slowly but slowly i have been understanding fruit trees with alot of shaking my head by the way the trees have turned out!! I have just watched your videos and its the most clearest directions that i have seen on pruning fruit trees, i feel like i now understand the whole process now thank you
Great info, Kyle! Just about to do this with our dwarf peaches. We may actually get some fruit for the first time this year. Cheers to living in a place where February and a t-shirt can coexist. 🤣
I learnd alot I have a 90 tree appel orchard with this good advice my trees are growing good I have drip irregation and a 5000L tank that I use for fertalizer greetings from Namibia.
This has been so educational to watch the progression of your orchard. I have learned more about pruning fruit trees from you than during my whole life previously.
Great video for a great fruit yard. I like your pruning rule by cutting the leading branch of the trees and giving them a bowl shape. After loaded with fruits they will turn in a umbrella shape. I love your garden, looks great with different fruit trees. You are lucky living in California, nice weather. I saw oranges, figs etc in your garden but I didn't see the grape vine which do really well in your area.
Thank you for the BEST pruning tutorial that I have seen. Although I have subscribed to your channel I’m saving this video to my gardening folder for quick and easy reference.
You have the best pruning videos. I have watched several and checked out "How To Grow A Little Fruit Tree" from the library 2 different times, but your videos helped me understand what the heck I'm doing so much faster. Great video shots so we can see, great explanations, love the progression videos, and really everything. Keep the videos of all the things you do coming!
Your videos inspired me to plant a variety of stone fruit, fig, and a pomegranate on our small property in Solano County, and also the confidence to actually prune them! Not wanting to "mess them up" is a real issue for newbies and seeing the progress from initial pruning through management pruning and how they impact the long-term structure is super helpful! Thanks!
Absolutely wonderful pruning videos! I have already learned so very much to improve my small orchard. Fighting a bit of fungal disease on my nectarine and peach. Will watch your video on spraying the copper solution. Lost two cherry trees last year here in zone 9a. Summer was a scorcher as you know. Any tips for dealing with heat & disease management is always welcome! Thank you so very much for your help! 🙏🙏🙏
This was fantastic. This series has helped out tremendously. I started my backyard orchard last year and a lot of videos talk about these concepts, but this was the first that really resonated with me. Thanks!
Thank you! I’m already a career firefighter which I love so I continue doing that for now but I’ll also enjoy creating videos for UA-cam on the side. I appreciate your support!
Great videos!! Thanks for taking us newbies along for the ride. We’ve started with 7 apple, 1 pear (need one more!), a cherry and a plum. Same age as yours so we’re on the same page!!
I am so excited for your next pruning vid! I've learned so much and gained so much confidence from the knowledge you provided! Thank you so much for your help!
Best pruning video I've seen. I've been so timid with my pruning and the few trees I planted have suffered. I'm mch more confident after seeing your video and will expand my orchard. (Pink Lady has been on my list-not sure if it'll be good in my area.) It doesn't look like you've posted recently- I hope you're still active.
Kyle, I'm a Master Gardener and on tons of gardening sites. I post your vids very often due to your way of demonstrating and natural talking style. Many people are afraid of making that first cut.

I wish this video existed a year ago when we started pruning our fig and peach trees. Makes me realize how wrong we were.
Both of those trees, especially the figs, are quite forgiving so perhaps you can still improve them now.
This was fantastic. This series has helped out tremendously. I started my backyard orchard last year and a lot of videos talk about these concepts, but this was the first that really resonated with me. Thanks!
Thank you! That’s awesome, and I appreciate your feedback
I have been loving these videos (new subscriber)! You are a great teacher and you will single-handedly save our orchard. Thank you!
I’m glad you added your location, I started thinking I should prune, but I’m NOT in the same zone as Sacramento haha
Yes, location is quite important with farming and gardening
Man, I really appreciate you sharing this information! Super informative video. God bkess
Thank you
Great tips. Surely educative.
Glad you enjoyed it
You could be a career UA-camr. I don’t know what it is but you’ve got it 🙌
Thank you! I’m already a career firefighter which I love so I continue doing that for now but I’ll also enjoy creating videos for UA-cam on the side. I appreciate your support!
@@urbanfarmstead Right On Kyle!
I like your lawn! Thanks for this video, very useful
Great videos!! Thanks for taking us newbies along for the ride. We’ve started with 7 apple, 1 pear (need one more!), a cherry and a plum. Same age as yours so we’re on the same page!!
Awesome! Thank you
I am so excited for your next pruning vid! I've learned so much and gained so much confidence from the knowledge you provided! Thank you so much for your help!
I'm so glad!
Great video. I'm new to pruning so it PAINS me to see such nice growth cut off but I understand it will promote more fruit production in the long run.
Thank you. Yes it’s all for the best.
Thank you . Planted mine with yours. Thanks for the follow up.
Awesome! You’re welcome
I like the sound of the cutting. It's ASMR 😅
Great pruning video
thank you

This was so helpful...Loved your inserts with editing:) Thank you:)
Well done video! This is so helpful and reassuring. Thank you!
Thanks! I’m so glad!
Best pruning video I've seen. I've been so timid with my pruning and the few trees I planted have suffered. I'm mch more confident after seeing your video and will expand my orchard. (Pink Lady has been on my list-not sure if it'll be good in my area.) It doesn't look like you've posted recently- I hope you're still active.
Thank you! I’ll have some videos out soon for a big project
I love this series!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the informative video 👍
You’re very welcome
