Apple Orchards Forever ๐
Would you ever consider shipping apple trees that you graft? I would love to buy some rare apple trees.

๐ฎ mind blown!!!
The largest comes from the king bud, net size is from the queen bud
โค๐โค best lessons are learned from working with the old timers โค๐โค Thanks for sharing what you learned
Didnโt you already make a video telling this story?
You are throwing away a lot of perfectly good apples. Maybe this makes sense for commercial growers because the apples need to be perfect, but for home growers it makes no sense
Hello i have a very old apple tree in the front yard of the house i rent. In the last two years is caught a fungal infection in the spring when itโs been raining. This year it is suffering very badly and has loss most of its leaves and only had a handful of apples. Is there any Books or something that can be done to help this tree please?
Fruit trees in Hawaii, make sure your fruit is Shaka. ๐ค
It looks like you have some bug damage on your apples ? ๐บ๐๐
Hi Luke, I started a permaculture orchard about 3 yrs ago and I and just starting to get fruit. I knew some of the apple needed to be taken off but I didnt know how to choose which ones. Thank you so much for sharing what you have learned!
Thanks for the information that helped a lot!
Those apples u picked thinning can be used to make pectin for jams & jellies.
Would this apply to other fruit trees like plum, peach and pear as well?
I have a Treasure red columnar apple that has substantial fruit this year after 4 years of being planted and this tip will definitely help in spacing. I knew I needed to thin but wasnโt sure where to begin. Thank you! Iโm doing this today!
This my first time growing an apple tree. I'm 80 yrs young. I know I had to thin the apples but you gave the ultimate guide that NO ONE else did. In only 8 min! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Can you apply that to pear trees?
I had a dear eat all the flower buds and tips off of my apple trees. I have seen very little growth this year. will they recover? My trees were less than 5 foot tall at the time.
Squirrels did the work for me this year. I have three healthy apple trees and zero apples. The beautiful apples were stripped when they reached ping pong size. Ugh.
This is such great info! Our apple trees are definitely only producing every other year & now I know why! My 80+ old farmer cousin told me that when pruning apple trees, you want to have enough room between branches to throw your hat through. I love the wisdom of the old farmers. ๐
One shaka away!๐ค๐ฝ
I am not sure my kids would get the phone-call-away concept. Maybe an iPhone away๐คฃ
