Save those root suckers and use them to graft scion wood onto next year?
Thank you for ALL of the great education we get free. Love it as I’m trying to expand my yard with more fruit trees. I’m so thankful, God bless. ❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️
QUESTION-I started from seed Cosmic Crisp apple trees. The 2 are only about 1 foot tall.
Can you tell me what steps I need to do for these 2 apple trees.
Modern Red Delicious are literally the worst apple
Do you think when your fruit trees are established in the future you will sell scion wood from all your different fruit tree varieties so people can graft their own trees? Or maybe you can graft the trees yourself and sell bare root fruit trees?
❤🙏
Are your trees full sized vs Dwarf vs Semi dwarf? With the spacing you've chosen I assume full sized
Question. I have 2 honeycrisp trees and a suncrest peach tree. They are all very mature at least 7 years old. Ive had them for 4 years and the honeycrisp have not had a single flower and the peach tree got less flowers over time. I live in NJ. I feed my trees truit tree fertilizer spikes. Why am i not getting flowers?
Trifecta works on everything. It is the best.
What temperature constitutes chill hours. I live in northern ME. I am sure we have lots of chill hours.
I thought he was colder. I am 4A but winters are getting warmer although we had one day last year at -56. We have about month we’re temp are below -15.
Is it true that you only need a 3-1-2 fertilizer for almost all your plants?
So then what about all the baby rabbits and other animals that are down in that cover crop that will be horribly killed by the mower?
Luke, I am wondering if many other folks have the same issue- I have multiple fruit trees that have not grown any branches in years. They just look like large sticks in my yard. 😢
I leave the root stock sucker growth on from the fall to the spring so that the rabbits are less likely to ring girdle the fruit tree when the snow covers the ground. They act as sacrificial offerings so the rabbits don't kill the fruit tree. I then trim them off in the spring, after the snow.
Congrats starting an orchard. Im so happy for you! Its my dream to have an apple orchard. I currently have 10 trees. I have been following the holistic management process from Michael Phillips for a couple years. Been struggling with plum curculio and learning if you wait a couple days you can loose an entire seasons crop from these pests. I highly recommend reading his book "The Holistic Orchard". He outlines really in depth holistic orchard systems.
Anyway congrats on your new endeavor!
Would you consider putting out some low cost fruit baring trees outside the fence line for the wild life? Your viewers would be interested…
Thanks Luke!
Luke, where did you get your trees? I live in Ohio and am in the market!
I would love to see a video about ways to save your fruit tree blossoms from a late frost when the tree is too large to cover.
