HOW TO GROW APPLE & PEAR | LIVESTREAM
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- Growing apples was essential to American families before the 20th Century. Drinking water was often not safe so the average American (over the age of 15) annually consumed more than 80 gallons of either cider or beer. 80 gallons of cider is made from 3000+ apples. Currently we consume less than 20 pounds of apples per year. Apples remain, however, one of the most important fruits grown in our country.
What is exciting is that in the last generation we have determined that just about any apple will grow and produce successfully in local gardens. While they grow differently in our mild climate they manage to produce top quality fruit.
During the class Gary covers care and the various cultivars that we promote.
Gary also covers pears. Unfortunately pears are heavily dependent upon adequate winter chill to fruit properly and we have relatively few cultivars that will perform well locally. These are discussed along with a few promising new introductions.
The quince fruit, which is one that is unknown to many, will also be discussed.

Come visit our store in Santa Ana, CA!
Just bought an apple and pear tree. I got so much information from this video, thank you so much for putting out this class!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much! Though we live in central Florida and are more humid then Cali, your info is still super helpful. I can’t tell you how many mistakes we would have made with pruning if not for you. It’s so hard to get information about our fruit trees and how to properly care for them. Please keep uploading and teaching. Also, is your soil available on the East Coast? I’m pretty sure our soil is not loamy, but Florida is sandy so I’m not sure...
I have a ghost apple. It's the middle of September, and the apples have not fully developed yet. Meanwhile my Ana and Pink Lady are on their 2nd crop of the season. I'm in the Inland Empire.
Thank you for livestreaming your presentations! Last year, we bought two differents 4 in 1 fruit trees. (One's a pear/Asian pear combo, I think, and the other is a plum.) After watching one of your other videos, I learned we shouldn't have done that, but I keep rewatching your videos and taking notes with the hopes I can keep them happy.
Granny smith thin sliced is the best for dipping in the " fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, crushed peppers sauce recipe..Sooo addicting and im not even asian.
If the Pink Pearl is tart, it is under ripe. Ours is very sweet and one of my favorites when ripe. My daughter swears that it has a floral after note (roses) to the flavor. It's very unique and really good.
Thank you for letting us know, we will let the apples ripen more in the future before trying them!
Good audio
What was the new Asian hosui cross?
the asian pear is like an pear suited for salads, less juicy more firm crunchy, but too expensive
Hello....can you talk about why some pear trees dont produce fruit ?
There could be a few reasons. Some pear trees are flowering pears, which are typically grown because of their beautiful display of flowers in the spring. These trees do not produce fruit, at least not any fruit that we would eat. Another reason is most pears require a high amount of chill in order to produce fruit. Certain pears, like Asian pears, need more than others, but even European pears and hybrids require a good amount. If you purchased your tree from a big chain like Home Depot, Lowe's, or a similar store, odds are you have a tree that needs 400+ hours of chill, which we rarely get here in Southern California.
