This was the most wholesome and informative video ever with the most dramatically building editing 😂
I didn't realize this is what I needed in my life until now, thank you Stefan
Your wealth of knowledge is staggering! Thank you so much, Stefan.
With a mostly shaded small yard, two years ago, I decided to try planting a raspberry bush at the edge of the treeline where it would receive full morning sun and dappled evening rays.
I'd spent my younger days camping in the mountains, and every year went picking wild berries to make pies. The berry bushes were often growing in similar areas of the forest, so I was hopeful mine would do well.
After two years of building up the soil, making sure I followed a strict schedule of watering and fertilizing, companion planting around it, and seeing off-shoots come up earlier this spring, I've come to the conclusion that it just isn't getting enough sun.
The few flowers it's produced, resulting in immature fruit, seems to only be on the side where there's the most available sun.
Now, I have the dilemma of trying to figure out how I'm going to move it, being old woman, and having no help. I can't imagine having enough strength to dig up the bush, let alone dig a new hole to put it in.
Even if I bare-rooted it to move the bush, I'd still need a fairly large and deep hole to accommodate the roots.
Alas, it may have to stay where it is, and my expectations be lowered to near zero as far as one day enjoying fruit. 😔
Gooseberries if you like them are the berry that seems to tolerate the most shade, even needs shade or its leaves burn.
Thank you, Stefan!
Hope this one was helpful
We have a juvenile cherry that's produced cherries this yr. I don't know if it did last yr, just noticed it this yr. 😊 some of my apple tree's partially bloomed, but don't see any fruit. They might have gotten a late freeze this yr. Seems they have a crop every other yr.
Great to see this just as the buds are coming out. On another topic, can I multiply my haskap bushes with the technique you showed? This years growth bent to the ground?
Most likely, have not tried but they root pretty easily.
Hello 👏great sharing my friend 👍🛎🤝
Thank you for the information! 🙏🏻I finally learned why my peach tree hasn’t flowered at all this year and started to grow green leaves instead. I pruned too much of it..😅 Sadly I won’t be getting any peaches this year, but i’ll know what to do for the next one.
We’re all learning. Now you know.
Same thing with my tree. Can you please tell me whats best time to prune peach? I live in Illinois
@@marekkrepa9982I live in Greece and i read you prune your peach tree, late winter to early spring AFTER the last frost. I pruned mine beginning of March.
@@Tina_Vienna thanks
@@marekkrepa9982You’re welcome! I wish you lots of flowering and fruits! Good luck!🫶🏻
Hi Stefan, I seem to have the opposite problem. I planted a permaculture orchard last year and now most of my apple trees (only 1,2 m or 4 feet high) are producing too much fruit (more than 100 apples on 1 tree) . I'm afraid the trees will not be able to take the weight. Should I prune away some of the fruit? If 'yes' when is the best time and what fruit to choose?
Yes The sooner the better. Leave 2 fruit per branch (not per cluster) at most. Will allow the trees to grow more rather than put it’s energy into the fruit.
ha THIS GUY IS CRAZY BUT DAMN HE'S OLD SCHOOL ..REGARDS PAL HAHAHA ...FULL SUPPORT ..
Nice sir 🙏
Glad you found it helpful
Very nice Like 👍 5:00
I have pear trees that are 3-4 wks apart blooming. They just aren't in sync enough to cross pollinate. If too much vertical top growth delays flowering would delaying cutting the vertical branches til later in the season delay it enough to sync them?
There will be a few years that a tree flowers without being able to set fruit. It is getting it's genes out there to pollinate somebody else. Several types of pears are self-pollinating, where you only need one to get fruit. Sometimes things said to require pollinators set a crop on their own too, a pollinator would just make a larger crop they say, yet it ages and makes more fruit each year. Maybe there are other trees in community who is pollinating the specimen. If you already have the trees though, you can freeze pollen you collect from freshly opened buds and use it to pollinate the next tree when it flowers. You do that when trying to create new varieties of things. Plant breeding books will teach you how to do that. You might also look into ordering a cutting or scion of a pollinating variety online, or get one from a friend, and graft that as a branch to grow on your mature tree. Then the tree will have the pollinator branch attached on it itself and you will get both fruit on the same tree, the pollinator branch will pollinate your pear and your pear will pollinate the grafted branch. Fruit cocktail trees. You can do crazy things with grafting. You could make different colored fruits or some have different colored foliage all on the same tree.

Pear is not a stone fruit. Pear can graft to pear, quince for sure, maybe Asian pear, medlar or hawthorn.
You do not prune to delay flowering. You can try to mess with microclimates, build a rock wall behind (North side) your later bloomer to make it flower sooner with the heat radiating back from the wall, or plant your early bloomer at the bottom of a hill where cold weather sinks and will make your tree slower to warm up.
I have an Anna apple and a sand pear (moonglow, I think) and I live in zone 9a/9b (Florida). Yes, only one apple and only one pear, but they both DID fruit. exactly ONCE. Several years ago, they both blossomed and gave me about 5 or 6 fruits each. They haven't even blossomed since. They get full sun and then some (around 12-14 hours/day). I definitely don't over fertilize because I don't really fertilize at all. I haven't pruned them much at all for a few years now. Occasionally, I might take a few branches off that seem to come from the base and go straight up. I think I may need to prune it right and fertilize a little bit. What do you think?
They are at the southern limit and likely don't get enough cold or chilling hours most years. That year was likely the coldest winter spell since.
Any truth to 1st year they sleep. 2nd year they creep. 3rd year they leap? I have a lapins cherry, some apple root stocks, and a cherry plum from seed. I have lots of wild service berries and gonna try to graft pears to a few. I should of planted mine cherry in one of the mounds. I noticed most of the little wild cherries are growing on the mounds. Gonna try to graft on to one of the little wild cherries.
True when you plant larger trees, plant 1-2 year old max.
None of these apply to my apple tree. I think it's just getting too old, and I confess I don't know how to prune it. It has finally produced a few flowers, but not until after the leaves opened, which is very unusual. At least I shouldn't have the problem of what to do with the excess fruit this year! I do like your videos.
@@rupontee Well, I'm certainly glad you aren't my gardener!
@@KnappKnits I'm sorry. I just wanted to help 😞
@@rupontee Thank you. I'm sorry, I was having a bad day. Anyway, this year my apple tree is coming into flower nicely, so let's just hope there are enough insects to pollinate it. I would send you some apples if I could. 🍎🍏
@@KnappKnits First of all, I’m really sorry about whatever you’re going through. Whatever happens, don’t be sad or lose hope. I pray that you and your tree shine through anything and everything. Also, thanks for showing your interest in sending me fruit. That meant a lot. I’d also send you some fruit if I could.
@@rupontee You are so kind. I'm sending you happiness and sunshine from Cornwall. We must enjoy our virtual fruit along with our actual fruit when the time comes, and think good thoughts of each other. 🍓🍇
Bonjour, je vous ai découvert ce matin en cherchant si les fourmis peuvent nuire au jardin. Je doute que vous me comprenez car vous semblez avoir une petite accent 😊.
Mon problème dans mon jardin est que j'ai des feuilles de piment et maïs de manger un peu mes je vois que des fourmis.
Merci de la rive sud mtl
Patrick je comprends très bien. Feuilles mangés est plus probable des chenilles à ce temps de l’année.
Can you tell me why a healthy new black raspberry covered in blooms, for two years now, won't mature but instead shrivels? So sad!!!
Sometimes the canes grow so tall that they break in the wind. Tie your canes to a wire support.
I planted a peach tree around 4 years ago and have never seen blooms on it. Bought another one and planted it before winter thinking the first one needed another one to produce fruit. The 1st one is bigger and only has leaves. The 2nd one is still very small but started producing about 20 peaches... I'm so confused
They also have full sun in a yard that isn't fertilized but the grass grows well around it
There could be another peach in the neighborhood or the second one is self fertile. Also sometimes the trees sold in nurseries are heavily root pruned and causes the tree to flower, thinking it will die. It may not flower next year.
I left my pear tree unpruned and it produced virtually no blossom at all this year. What's the reason for that?
It may have produced a lot last year and is taking a break this year.
👍 So my cherries produced huge 2 years ago, nothing last year and this year all my fruit spurs opened up but no flowers just open green buds. Any reason why?
Same with mine too
Hey Stefan, I haven't watched because UA-cam stopped telling me you've made a video. It's not being suggested because you're labeled as being made for kids. I would love to fix this so I can keep up easier. If anyone has a suggestion, I'm open to it
Hmm that is odd, we have specifically selected that our content be “not for kids” if you click the bell icon UA-cam should notify you every time we upload. We do appreciate you reaching out thank you!
I definitely pruned my 4yr old apples and plums too much this past winter. On top of fertilizing all my fruit trees last fall and this spring.... well crap
We’re all learning.
💟
🥂
We’re glad you liked this one
My tree is over 20 yrs n does not bloom. The tree is huge n we do not prune it.
Sounds like too much shade. A fruit tree will survive and have green leaves even if too much shade but flowers and fruit need near full sun. If grass won’t grow well under the tree it’s too shady for fruit.
U have GOT to be kidding ... I've been fertilizing the heck out of my trees ... That's y my fruit production is minimum to none 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I know it seem contradictory but they don't need much, especially if your soil is quite fertile to start.
Mulch & compost, build healthy soil microbiome. ANY plant can only get nutrients from the healthy bacteria around the roots (root exudates, it's a mutually beneficial relationship)
