I live in the Southern Hemisphere, l have struggled to find a good video on pruning etc. Our climate where l live here in New Zealand is similar to yours, so I just have to reverse the months of the year to follow your directions. We recently purchased an off the grid block of land with a new orchard. We have Blood red and Navel oranges, and mandarins. Unfortunately the neighbours Wagyu cattle got through and destroyed most of our orchard, ( we have had a new boundary fence put in and blocked the passage through our adjoining creek). so I am now nursing the young trees that have survived. It is spring here and the young trees are full of bud and new shoots. I have been worried about pruning them and shaping the new growth, but you have been very informative, and l feel encouraged to do the necessary deed if l want the best for these trees. Thank you. Some of our other new neighbours are giving me cuttings off their heritage fruit trees, pear, apple, nectarines, plum, apple, fig, grape vines, bananas, pineapples etc. l have also planted pomegranates, Feijoas, Tamarillo, passion fruit, thornless blackberry, raspberries and blueberries. Plus I planted the beginnings of a vegetable garden. I can’t wait until we start reaping the benefits of my hard work. People like you are a valuable source of information and encouragement. Thanks again.

@@urbanfarmstead we lived in New Jersey in Perth Amboy. And we had a big yard. My mom’s Portuguese’s friend was a good gardener. He planted a fig tree. To winterize it he wrapped in burlap and dug a trench and buried under leaves inside the trench and soil. In spring he would dig it out. And tie support on opposite sides so that it would grow straight. He did the same thing with peach tree. After the trees were thick enough he would just wrap it up with thick burlap and leaves. It never died during the winter.

Just discovered you. Really good video. I have pruning videos and it's incredible how much our methods align. One thing I'd like to add about the paint - another great option is a lime whitewash - much better for the environment and soil if any gets washed into it. Also you mentioned that you aren't worried as much about the winter sun, and that's because of where you are. However, way up here in Zone 4 it's precisely the winter sun that is of concern and why we also whitewash trees. The winter sun warms the trunk up and it expands. Then the cold night temps come and it contracts. This swell/shrink cycle can split bark and lead to gummosis. Peaches are especially vulnerable to this. So for those of you who are in colder climates and think "I don't need to protect my trunk from the sun", you really should. Great video, excited to watch this grow. You should consider turning that area into a food forest. You can check out my food forest, it's pretty awesome. Basically it would entail adding the 6 other layers of a forest into the planting. Then again, your space is a little more urban (hence the channel) and a wilder look may not be desired. If it were me though, I'd cram the interspaces with bushes, flowers, groundcovers and turn that orchard into an ecosystem.

Fun fact I cannot but post: I realized the dream of literally year round fruits ready for harvest in my garden by planting one (1!) single tree: My Jamaican cherry produces less in Jan and Feb, but even now I can pluck some sweet additons for muesli or for flavored teas. So wonderful to go out each morning, breathe some fresh air, stretch and bend while plucking and collecting fruits. Such a blessing! Keep up your motivation and disciplined work and your harvest will be totally worth it! And in the meantime I will learn from you for my other fruit trees to come...

This was the exact video that I needed to watch to answer all my tree questions. I'm going to try the spacer trick on a tree that is growing very narrow that i want to branch out. Currently looking at what/ how to plant a fruit tree! Great video, learned a ton!! Good luck with the orchard.

What an informative video, I am definitely subbing. This is the best fruit tree planting advice I've found -- all info, no fluff. I'm super lucky that you're in my area too! Good luck with your garden, may it produce for generations.

Oh im quite a bit jealous of that fruit selection.. not to mention the climate 😅 greeting from finland 😁 im little by little planning my fruit orchard as well, just gotta keep those figs etc in pots to bring them inside over the winters 😋 but still plenty of interesting fruit trees available that survive even here 🙄 (well barely survive, but anyway 🤣 )

I just bought a house with an empty backyard. Came across this video wanting to grow fruit trees and wasn't sure where to plant them. Checked the date and its just a few days ago.. I was honestly excited to see a follow up video. Guess i will have to subscribe to find out more. Decisions decisions to find where to put a garden and then a mini orchard

Loved the video, very informative. Only thing I would do differently is prune 3-4 weeks after transplant to prevent transfer shock and to encourage initial rooting with myco so that they really start to take off as it warms up.

First video I've seen of yours and let me just say, your set up is so clean and efficient! I love the idea of urban farming and I'm really torn between having a traditional homestead vs urban farming (mostly because I have quite a few creature comforts I don't want to part with) Definitely subbed

Where do you get your fruit trees from? Do they all have similar chill hours? What time of year did you plant? Great video and I love your choices of fruit. I never knew about the N. facing buds cut or out facing branches cut.

Just discovered your channel & subscribed, so excited. Your video was 31:38 informative & I love how very neat & organized you are. I also live in Sacramento & altho have downsized & don’t have a yard I am helping my daughter begin her urban homestead here. We added DG to the entire yard front & back & she will be adding containers for veggies. Today we planted 2 trees. A semi-dwarf Meyer lemon & a semi-dwarf Wash naval orange. Both were in 15 gal containers to get a head start on size & both had flowers with the start of tiny buds. She h/b researching & told me what you just confirmed that removing the flowers & buds will allow all of the trees energy to focus on establishing roots. Hard to do but makes sense. In my own home I just planted a semi-dwarf Eureka pink lemon & a Bearss lime both in 10 gal grow bags & now I am wanting more. You got me excited to plant a few more fruit trees at my house altho will have t/b in containers on a large upper patio with south facing sun. Thank you for your pruning tips & look forward to watching more.
