I'm growing cherries, avocados, limes, lemons, elderberries, 2 kinds of plums and 3 kind of apples from watching your orchard series videos. We harvested over 400 pounds of food on less than 1/6 of an acre between the orchard and the raised bed gardens! Thank you!
Bro. Years back you sent me some Scarlet Runner beans after posting about it on instagram. That was when I had just taken horticulture 101 at my local community college. Now I install landscapes and literally just planted 6 fruit trees for my mom and this video pops up. Thank you for inspiring me all these years and from a fellow landscaper in Orange County: your work is so so clean. ❤
Hi Kyle, I live in the Sacramento region and have learned a lot from your videos. 😊 Could you do a video on watering? I am always shocked when you mention how long and often you water. Watering feels like such an enigma, and I would love to hear your thoughts on how you determine emitter type, water duration, and number of days.
Great suggestion! That will be a full video, but you can either dig down or use a moisture meter to determine when it’s time to water and base your schedule on that interval, factoring for weather
I cannot explain how much I love this video and your intentionality behind how you organize your videos. So much thoughtfulness and detail. You're an amazing teacher. We own a nursery and grow many things but fruit trees are still new to us, so we are learning so much from you. We've already planted our own mini orchard and this video makes us feel so excited to one day harvest from our own mini orchard! We wish your and your incredible channel the absolute best!
What an amazing orchard! I can't wait to see the tropical area. It's so inspiring seeing all you are able to accomplish in a back yard garden. Great job!
Love the update! 5 years ago on our 2 acres we started planting many varieties of apples,pears,fig, peaches,plums,pawpaw, grapes, elderberry, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, we let our chickens have run of the property and everything is doing amazing.
I love these updates! I planted 8 of my own fruit trees here in Denver, CO last year and it's awesome to see the progress after pruning. These vids helped tremendously. Thanks!
I remember watching you plant your orchard over two years ago and now look at it! thats amazing and you're truly an inspiration. I live in an apartment and yearn for a home with enough space for a garden, if only a fraction as majestic as yours. One day I will, that is my main goal in life right now.Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I would love if you make a video walking us through your tree care and maintenance like time of prunning, fertilizers used for each fruit tree, how many times and when do you fertilize your trees, do you spray them to prevent disease and/or pests. Do you deal with ants or rodents etc.
Thank you! I do have videos for most of that already here in my orchard series except for fertilizer and pest management, but many more videos to come!
I’ve been fertilizing once in early spring and once in early summer with EB stone Organics. I use a natural fungicide for peach leaf curl when necessary, and have a full video on that process here in this series. Most of the products I use are linked in the video description.
We have massive issues with fruit fly here in Western Australia and it is very difficult to control them. I chose to net my tree this year and I may finally get nectarines to eat!
I’d love to see a drone video so see the top-down layout of this yard and how much you’ve gotten into it! I have what seems like a larger yard but FAR less productive. Would love to see the layout more effectively with notes on what is where. Super inspiring!
My oh my, I still remember watching your video where you planted the orchard and now look at how beautifully it has evolved 😍👏🏻 What a stunning little paradise filled with a delicious abundance of fruit! Thank you for sharing this update.
Fellow Sacramentan here, glad to see a local on "the interweb" (Vince Vaughn, 'The Internship'). 😂 What did you do to build your soil is what I want to know...
You just sold me on the jujube! It's constantly in the clearance section (~$20 for 7 gallon) at the Arden Home Depot in Sacramento. My Pink Lady also self-pollinated itself this year without any issues.
Been looking forward to this update! We are starting our orchard in SW Ohio and your pruning tips and how you follow the plants has been super helpful! Thanks Kyle!
Thanks for the tip on when not to pick fruit after watering, As the fruit tends to be sweeter further apart from being watered, Good Tip Thanks again from NZ 😮
I’m also from Sacramento and we started planting fruit trees specifically apple last July and it’s now flowering, I’m excited to see some fruits form in the next couple weeks.
Sir, I am in Texas and I have NOT been able to find organic pink lady apples anywhere in the supermarkets. They are my favorite apples. 💔 Please send me some 🙏🏽😭🕊
Your first video got me started with my orchard now I added 4 types of citrus, pomegranate, apricot, Liz’s late nectarine, Olive, Santa Rosa plum, peach and apples. Also another one of your videos helped me have confidence to prune my fig & loquat. And I was able to get fruit off my mexicola avocado! Thank you for getting me inspired!
California is certainly has a great climate for gardening. I grew up in southern Cali. Now I live in Texas. My backyard is full of peach trees, some plums, persimmons, and figs. You should definitely look into growing persimmons, Kyle. They ripen around November. I also have mango and tangerine trees (which I bring inside during the winter).
It is really amazing and very special and happy to firstly harvest our own fruit in our home yard . I am a fruit lover i Cambodia i am growing many fruit types of fruit tree including 100 durian trees inside our home yard. thanks for sharing.❤
Lovely orchard! The descriptions of each fruit are very helpful! I planted several fruit trees whem we purchased our home 3 years ago, & this year we're adding a bunch more (like plums & nectarines), as well as berry bushes, like rasberries, blueberries, etc. & more strawberries! I'm so excited! 🙌
I watch your videos religiously. You have helped me a lot. I am in the bay area. Started growing fruit trees 2-3 years ago. I now have 25. Thanks for your education.
nice! i just planted 2 peach trees that are about 6 foot tall, so not sure what age they'd be but just curious as to when I could expect fruit haha maybe 2 years hopefully haha@@cedricmoore8053
Hi Kyle. You are doing an absolutely awesome job with the videos. I do little hydroponic growing but I'm looking to venture out to my garden and plant and learn how to plant and grow trees in my yard. I actually found your videos by searching for that exact statement. I'm in California, Riverside zone 09a and I have some challenges with the heat also. I have a couple of questions: do you have any reference material like a book or a website where you picked up a lot of your information when I could get into it I'm still learning the basics and there's a lot of conflicting information out there, especially for California. Also, I'm having a lot of trouble finding the Panache Tiger Fig locally do you sell your cutting?
It’s like the Truman Show, how can it be real? I couldn’t keep a single peach on my tree because of scrub jays and squirrels. Nothing even looks netted, protected. Must be a giant plastic dome covering this house. Kind of amazing. Willy Wonka’s Orchard and Garden.
Haha, thank you. The squirrels m, birds and rat do take some fruit, but for now they are leaving enough for me to enjoy. I don’t do much and the rodents do take some, but sometimes I’ll use next bags and wire mesh to protect the fruit. Those products I use are linked in the video description
Love all your trees! A food forest full of small but productive fruit trees is my dream. I live in zones 5-6 depending on the year. I look forward to that day when I get to harvest from all of my trees and berry bushes. I've bought a freeze dryer in order to store away the foreseeable bounty.
Hello from Wilton California. Great to watch your tour. Im working on an orchard myself. My Ohenry peach produced some lousy fruit. Hopefully I can get better fruit next year. I had a flavortop nectarine which was incredible.
Amazing! I was just reviewing some of your pruning videos, again, when I suddenly realized you posted a new video while I was viewing the older videos! Thank you so much for sharing! I love it! Your videos are extremely helpful, informative, and inspiring! Blessings and love to you! ❤
I may have missed it, but did you address spraying the trees for viral and insect prevention? I know apple trees in particular are more high maintenance vs other fruit trees. I’ve heard for apples-to prevent worms-every 2 week spraying is required.
I have one video in this series that covers treating stone fruits with a natural fungicide, but nothing for pests yet, as the only pests here so far are birds, squirrels, and rats. I haven’t had to spray my apple tree once yet. Different pests concerns exist in different regions.
I have a pink lady as the only apple tree in our garden and it produced fruit for the first time this year (after i planted it as a small sapling from Costco 2 years ago). There are no neighbors either with apple trees. I’m in SLC, Utah.
Question: Do you ever have problems with rats, raccoons or squirrels eating the fruit (we have an espaliered apple and rats literally ate them one by one over several weeks losing 30 in a single month). Also, any issues with bugs/insects/caterpillers? We have a ton of white flies and aphids on the tomatoes and small green caterpillers drill into half of our lemons...sorry if you've covered this before but if not maybe a good idea for a future vid? Thanks again and keep up the awesome work!
Yes, I have a few of many pests and there are many ways I prevent and control them. It’s a massive topic that will require it’s own entire series of videos, but maybe one day I’ll take it on. I use sacks of fabric and wire mesh to protect some fruit and have them linked in the video description
That's so interesting. Maybe the dry air in CA allows pollen to disperse better in a self-pollinating way for the Pink Lady? Kind of like tomatoes pollinate with wind or a vibration because the pollen flies? LOVE this video!
Hi Kyle, any advice on how to keep animals (squirrels/birds) from eating the fruits? The animals get to my peach and jujubi and persimmons before I can get to it 😩
Traveling up to 5 miles, why are you so certain that the Pink Lady wasn't pollinated by bees from an unknown malus variety within a 5 mile radius. I wonder if this has been tested in a controlled environment.
Hi Kyle, when is your annual market and where will it be? I love to buy what you have to offer, especially the Panache tiger fig cuttings or tree. Thanks
need pollinator means need bugs/bees to do the pollination, right? Not another tree nearby, or male vs. female trees....or it may mean male/female flowers, if not together in the same flower, will need bees to transfer the pollen for them, like some passionfruit varieties.
This is absolutely amazing Kyle! I wish I could grow these fantastic varieties of apple, fig, plum, apricot! Beautiful fruits. Don’t feel like plucking them at all from the tree! 😂 What a delightful sight! Wonderful colours! I’m certain delicious too! Aren’t we supposed to prune a tree only after a harvest? Would pruning trees with fruit on them, affect the tree or fruit? Thank you Kyle for sharing! Looking forward to see your sub tropical & topical fruits! Pete :”)
Hi great video. Do you spray your fruit? We have so much rain last summer that most peaches and nectarines went rotten. I have a new orchard. (Just made a video). I would love some more land to plant more trees.
How exciting! So happy to see this video update and tour! I remember when you planted all this! Awesome, just awesome! I am hoping to homestead next year and can't wait to plant mine! I have an extensive list! lol Lovely, just lovely. So happy for you! Thank you for sharing and updating us!
Love love❤, I am not doing well on my fruit tree. How do you proven animal gets into your fruits? A lot of time the fruit are not ripped but already got taken by animal 😂
Wonderful! I don’t do much and the rodents do take some, but sometimes I’ll use mesh bags and wire mesh to protect the fruit. Those products I use are linked in the video description
I’m in the Northeast growing a few fig and apple varieties. Granted you’re in California, but it would be most helpful to know how you fertilize and more importantly, how do you deal with pest and microbial pressures. Your backyard orchard is gorgeous!
I am parking my bags 💼 to move in to y’all’s guest room 😂😂😂😂. This is heaven omg . What zone are you in. I’m in zone 9 and we have a big yard and I want to copy you
Love the video series! I'm starting my own mini backyard orchard as well this year. I've had a few failures... but with help from your videos I'm confident to continue down the road. Hoping to find a way to taste test fig varieties before settling on one to grow!
Thank you for this update... I live in NYC and venturing on my journey to grow fruit trees and shrubs. So far, I have a giant Hanafuyu persimmon, Fuyu persimmon (arrives in Nov), Methley Plum tree, Chicago Fig, Fuzzy Kiwi, Saanichton Fuzzi Kiwi, and blackberries just to shart. I am so excited. Do you think my fruit production will be affected because I planted in large pots? Also, I was told to prune during dormancy. What are your thoughts?
I want to thank you for doing this video. When I am not playing music I love being in the orchards and watching people grow. I think you did a great job in the video. Blessings
Thank you for having the patience to collect tasting videos throughout the season so we could see the full progression! Sure made my mouth water as I consider my next nursery trip and rethink how many trees I could squeeze into my backyard. 😊
Hi Kyle, thank you for such inspiring content! I’m in Sacramento also. I was encouraged to buy a Ruby Supreme guava tree after your instagram story. How cold-hardy is it? Do I have to keep it inside during winter, or should it be ok outside? Thanks 🙏
Wonderful! Mine is outside this year with no protection and it’s doing great! But it’s often recommended to protect them the first couple winters in our climate
Truly an amazing backyard transformation and incredibly inspirational. Thank you for sharing all that you’ve done. Like many others following you, I have started a backyard orchard as well. Did you say you have fruit tree videos as well? I’m looking to add a lemon and clementine tree next, any recommendations?!?
My Pink Lady flowered for two years with no fruit. This spring I pulled off some blooms from a crab apple tree I found a couple miles away and pollinated it and had a few fruit, but then they got infested by insects and they all stopped growing and slowly turned brown. 🤷♂️ Maybe next year…
I love what you’re doing and how you explain everything. I’ve been watching since you put the fruit trees in and they look so happy! You made me hungry with all that delicious fruit you were eating. I’m on the east coast now, from California. We just this year found an apple tree that said self pollinating too. It’s called Anna. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it is like your tree and we get beautiful fruits too. Thanks again for all your great content!! All the best!! 🌻
Hey Kyle, I was wondering which do you like better the Spice Zee nectaplum or the Double Delight Nectarine? Considering getting one or the other for my backyard
It's amazing to watch your orchard develop from just a couple of years ago to this! I notice you don't have any bird netting on your trees, do you not have any issues with birds eating your fruit? thanks for sharing, new subscriber here, I look forward to catching up with your videos.
I'm growing cherries, avocados, limes, lemons, elderberries, 2 kinds of plums and 3 kind of apples from watching your orchard series videos. We harvested over 400 pounds of food on less than 1/6 of an acre between the orchard and the raised bed gardens! Thank you!
Wow that’s amazing! Congratulations! Glad to know your garden is thriving
Make a video man!
Pete :”)
Do you sell them abroad? I need to buy a large quantity of agricultural products to bring back to my farm to feed the Waygu cows.
Waoo that is wonderful
Awesome

Seriously though, all of your advice is stuff that my professor would also say. You know your stuff!
That is a granny smith apple 🍏 tree wrongly labeled
How old where the trees when planted?
I'm so excited for this update. Been watching since you put them in the ground.
I’m excited to be sharing it! Thank you so much for joining me in this home orchard journey!
Same here
Same. Been waiting for this update!
Same!!! It’s time
Same.,!!! Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭!!! ❤❤❤
I love this content! home orchard looks insane!
Thank you so much!
If there are any crabapple trees in the surrounding areas apple trees will pollinate
Great job
Wow!😊 absolutely beautiful. I love your orchard.. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏼🥰🍁

That is awesome! I wish I could find Pawpaw trees here
I love these updates! I planted 8 of my own fruit trees here in Denver, CO last year and it's awesome to see the progress after pruning. These vids helped tremendously. Thanks!
Thank you! That’s awesome! I’m glad I can share my process with others who find it helpful.
I can't believe it's been 2.5 years. I'm so excited for you and my mouth is watering
Thank you
Good for you, you probably live in a warm climate zone.
PLEASE DO A Q&A ON ALL OUR BACKYARD ORCHAR/ GARDENING QUESTIONS‼️🙏🏼
That’s a great idea!
Wow, incredible results in such a short period. Hope our trees explode like this soon!
I hope so too!

I watched that same video
Can you upload the video how you plant your orchard? Thank you
Can I have the halves you didn't eat please
What is your feeding schedule for your trees? Do you have to spray or treat them in any way?
Yes I want to know that too.
I would love if you make a video walking us through your tree care and maintenance like time of prunning, fertilizers used for each fruit tree, how many times and when do you fertilize your trees, do you spray them to prevent disease and/or pests. Do you deal with ants or rodents etc.

Planted 6 trees for my small backyard orchard after watching your first video. Lovely to see this video. Can't wait for fresh fruits in mine😄
Awesome! Thank you
I’d love to see a drone video so see the top-down layout of this yard and how much you’ve gotten into it! I have what seems like a larger yard but FAR less productive. Would love to see the layout more effectively with notes on what is where. Super inspiring!

Been looking forward to this update! We are starting our orchard in SW Ohio and your pruning tips and how you follow the plants has been super helpful! Thanks Kyle!
Thank you! I have as well. Best of luck with your new orchard!
I'm smiling watching your video cause I can feel how you feel when your first harvest of the fruits you planted
I am just salivating every time you're biting into a fruit. Except jujube :)
You are living the dream. I cannot imagine how great it must be to live on an orchard like that.
Thanks for the tip on when not to pick fruit after watering, As the fruit tends to be sweeter further apart from being watered, Good Tip Thanks again from NZ 😮
Happy to share!
I'm watching from Laos, wishing to live in the environment like this surrounding by fresh fruits and vegetables we grew ourself.
I'm so excited for this update. Been watching since you put them in the ground.
Glad you like them!
Orchard goal! I hope you will also share how you take care of your plants like watering schedule, plants diseases, and recommended fertilizers.
Thank you! Yes, I’ve shared a bit of that in videos here, but will certainly be sharing more

Very nice presentation: easy going and knowledgeable without sounding like a snob. 😊
Thank you
Thx for taking us through a tour of your backyard fruit orchard, how long are the run times for your typical 3 week irrigation cycles? Thank you
Ironic how growers, parents and fishermen always harvest/raise/catch the sweetest, best, biggest of everything!😅
I'm not surprised all all how good he says his fruit is, just look at it! Incredible.... I'm jealous for sure
@urbanfarmstead Do you think that 6 feet apart is too tight now that you are 3 years in and the trees are bigger.
Love the channel.
Totus tuus
Nope, I still feel it’s perfect for me in this space. Thank you
Man I can't wait for my tree to be productive. Your trees looks so healthy and the fruit looks amazing.

So nice of you
How do you deal with birds and squirrels in your area? They always seem to be after my best peaches, blueberries and figs.
need pollinator means need bugs/bees to do the pollination, right? Not another tree nearby, or male vs. female trees....or it may mean male/female flowers, if not together in the same flower, will need bees to transfer the pollen for them, like some passionfruit varieties.
This is absolutely amazing Kyle! I wish I could grow these fantastic varieties of apple, fig, plum, apricot! Beautiful fruits. Don’t feel like plucking them at all from the tree! 😂 What a delightful sight! Wonderful colours! I’m certain delicious too! Aren’t we supposed to prune a tree only after a harvest? Would pruning trees with fruit on them, affect the tree or fruit? Thank you Kyle for sharing! Looking forward to see your sub tropical & topical fruits!
Pete :”)
Thank you Pete. Trees can be pruned any time in the growing season regardless of whether or not they are holding fruit

Wow you are in Sacramento I can have your fruits sir
Wow you are in Sacramento I can have your fruits sir
How are you managing the pests? It looks like you have no bugs whatsoever on the plants
Hi great video. Do you spray your fruit? We have so much rain last summer that most peaches and nectarines went rotten. I have a new orchard. (Just made a video). I would love some more land to plant more trees.
I use a natural fungicide for leaf curl when necessary
I love your video, I learned a lot different kind of fruit trees. Thank you so much 🙏
I'm so glad!
How do you protect your fruit against pests: squirrels mostly, fruit rats
How exciting! So happy to see this video update and tour! I remember when you planted all this! Awesome, just awesome! I am hoping to homestead next year and can't wait to plant mine! I have an extensive list! lol Lovely, just lovely. So happy for you! Thank you for sharing and updating us!
Thanks so much and best of luck with your homestead!
Love love❤, I am not doing well on my fruit tree. How do you proven animal gets into your fruits? A lot of time the fruit are not ripped but already got taken by animal 😂
Wonderful! I don’t do much and the rodents do take some, but sometimes I’ll use mesh bags and wire mesh to protect the fruit. Those products I use are linked in the video description
Imagin jus goin outside an eatin all those fruit in the same season
It’s pretty great
I’m in the Northeast growing a few fig and apple varieties. Granted you’re in California, but it would be most helpful to know how you fertilize and more importantly, how do you deal with pest and microbial pressures. Your backyard orchard is gorgeous!
Sounds great! I’ll share that here, but I do talk about it on Instagram currently
Senangnya melihat tanaman apel hijau yang banyak, ditempat ku harganya mahal😢😢
Thank you
I am parking my bags 💼 to move in to y’all’s guest room 😂😂😂😂. This is heaven omg . What zone are you in. I’m in zone 9 and we have a big yard and I want to copy you
Haha! 9b
Hello, how big is your yard in square metres ?
Love the video series! I'm starting my own mini backyard orchard as well this year. I've had a few failures... but with help from your videos I'm confident to continue down the road.
Hoping to find a way to taste test fig varieties before settling on one to grow!
Thank you! I recommend checking farmers markets for different figs in late summer
Thank you for this update... I live in NYC and venturing on my journey to grow fruit trees and shrubs. So far, I have a giant Hanafuyu persimmon, Fuyu persimmon (arrives in Nov), Methley Plum tree, Chicago Fig, Fuzzy Kiwi, Saanichton Fuzzi Kiwi, and blackberries just to shart. I am so excited. Do you think my fruit production will be affected because I planted in large pots? Also, I was told to prune during dormancy. What are your thoughts?
It’s definitely much better to plant in ground when possible. I prune most of these in summer and when dormant
I want to thank you for doing this video. When I am not playing music I love being in the orchards and watching people grow. I think you did a great job in the video.
Blessings
Thank you for having the patience to collect tasting videos throughout the season so we could see the full progression! Sure made my mouth water as I consider my next nursery trip and rethink how many trees I could squeeze into my backyard. 😊
Dream garden, the fruits even don't need protection from bugs
Thank you
Hi Kyle, thank you for such inspiring content! I’m in Sacramento also. I was encouraged to buy a Ruby Supreme guava tree after your instagram story. How cold-hardy is it? Do I have to keep it inside during winter, or should it be ok outside? Thanks 🙏
Wonderful! Mine is outside this year with no protection and it’s doing great! But it’s often recommended to protect them the first couple winters in our climate
Truly an amazing backyard transformation and incredibly inspirational. Thank you for sharing all that you’ve done. Like many others following you, I have started a backyard orchard as well. Did you say you have fruit tree videos as well? I’m looking to add a lemon and clementine tree next, any recommendations?!?
Thank you! I will have citrus videos soon as I have many citrus trees
My Pink Lady flowered for two years with no fruit. This spring I pulled off some blooms from a crab apple tree I found a couple miles away and pollinated it and had a few fruit, but then they got infested by insects and they all stopped growing and slowly turned brown. 🤷♂️ Maybe next year…
Oh no! Hope this is your year!
I love what you’re doing and how you explain everything. I’ve been watching since you put the fruit trees in and they look so happy! You made me hungry with all that delicious fruit you were eating. I’m on the east coast now, from California. We just this year found an apple tree that said self pollinating too. It’s called Anna. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it is like your tree and we get beautiful fruits too. Thanks again for all your great content!! All the best!! 🌻
Thank you! Best of luck with your orchard
Hey Kyle, I was wondering which do you like better the Spice Zee nectaplum or the Double Delight Nectarine? Considering getting one or the other for my backyard
Probably the double delight. It’s the most delicious nectarine I’ve ever tasted. But I like spice z for its uniqueness
It's amazing to watch your orchard develop from just a couple of years ago to this! I notice you don't have any bird netting on your trees, do you not have any issues with birds eating your fruit? thanks for sharing, new subscriber here, I look forward to catching up with your videos.
Thank you! They don’t take enough to need netting
I'm so jealous of your figs😅😊. Bountiful Blessings 🙌
