Hi. I have a 2 year old Macintosh apple tree. There are about 3 dead small branches. Can I cut them off now or do I wait until winter . Please let me know. Thanks

Why can't you use the lower leaves?

Very good job. Clearly shown maps of pruning system that it was new to me and I had not seen in any other pruning videos so well pictured! Thanks to you for your beautiful job. ❤👍👏

Gratitude!

Never seen a beret arborist before lols must be the best of the best

This was perfect. It just so happens to be the plant I was looking for information on how to bush.

I have wild raspberries growing, can I dig up the small stems that have rooted and transplant or should I leave them be? what about a bush and trimming back for more stems & fruits? I have monster berries on my blackberries this year, Thank you!

Is there a part 2 or 3 where it shows progression into a bush?

Here's what I learned from 10+ years of growing blueberries: 1. Understand the growth habit: VERY IMPORTANT. The first year a cane (primary ground stem) grows, it will put on buds directly on the stem by the Fall, which will fruit the following year. The Second year, the buds directly on the primary cane from last year will fruit, and the cane will also grow secondary stems/branches with buds of their own for next year's fruit. Also the tip of the primary cane will die off. This cycle repeats each year, with smaller and smaller branches, stems, and fruit each year. 2. Start by cutting entire canes from the base, then work your way up and do heading cuts (tips of old canes as needed). 3. Cut off canes that are diseased, old, woody, and unproductive. Also canes that are very horizontal or crossing over other canes. 4. Removing old canes allows the energy of the plant to go into new vigorous (tall) canes. 5. Not removing enough old canes will result in new canes that are short (6-12"), thin, and weak. A short thin cane will have very little first year fruit, and virtually no 2nd year fruit due to its short and small size. 6. Commercial growers only keep canes up to the 2nd and sometimes 3rd year. The reason is the branches become thin, short, like matchsticks, and fruit gets smaller and harder to pick. 7. First year plants get heading cuts all around, meaning all growth is cut 6-12" from the ground as early in the season as possible. The allows new canes to grow from where those cuts were made. Also any buds are rubbed off to prevent fruiting, and allow the vegetative growth to be established. Second year most fruit is removed and pruning is also done to encourage vegetative growth. 8. Pruning should be done each year, to promote new, strong canes for next year.

I guess he isnt on you tube anymore. But does anyone in the comments know if a 3 wire system would work?

Hey man you had a nice channel, hope you doing good buddy :)

I seen your full video thanks for information n advice❤

That was very helpful. Thank you.

Appreciate your video I saw that u topped to blueberry off but did u realize that you’ve cut the flowering buds ?

Very helpful video, thx

This helps. Region 8 here.

It's April here in PA.. I need to prune them but have no idea what I am doing. Yikes. Thanks for your help!

best pruning video I have ever seen

I have watched many videos about the pruning of apple trees, this one summed up all of the positive points of the others. Thanks to you Chuck!

I"m living in MN (zone 4 B). I got some Asian pear trees. I watched a lot of clips about pruning. I'm confusing about that. What's different between summer pruning and winter pruning? which one for more fruit and which one for shape

Awesome video. Thanks very much! Can I suggest next time, putting a white sheet on the ground as a background to increase visibility. Otherwise, amazing video.

Very concise, step by step directions, with the explanations of the goal for each step. Thank you, this is just what I wanted to see!

I like watching chuck he knows how to prune trees. Friendly guy

How to pruning lemon trees ?

I need root bb for planting😀

Thank you so much! Watched several videos and this is the only all encompassing straight forward tutorial for a total novice like me. This guy lays it out so it makes sense. Good editing too. This 8 minute education likely saved my young Granny Smith from my previously haphazard and clumsy pruning.

Wish you still were doing videos 😎

Is February the best time to prune ?

blueberries lawv mulch! :P

Excellent & informative video, I would totally agree with Jaqueline in her comment below. I'm off to do my pruning now. Thanks Chuck

I love how you are working with nature! Wonderful explanation and to the point. Great video👍🏽

Very clear instruction. Thanks!

black bags will also absorb heat from the sun even in the winter.

Excellent explanation of what and why. Thank you.

What if I have a plants/vines 5 to 6" diameter. How for can I cut them back, (with out harming the them??? I do t want to kill them!!!!

How do I care for my Blueberry Bush ua-cam.com/video/bMU87X-SBJM/v-deo.html

So, can I cut the central leader to encourage branches or will it stop growing upward if I do?

Excellent informative video! The ALMIGHTY GOD creations are so awesome including His people!!

Very useful. Thanks

:) i thought for a central leader i dont need to cut back the leader upright branch every year, just leave it grow upwards. If i let the central grow upwards without cutting it back, the tree wont develop side-branches upwards right?thx

Just what I needed! What an excellent, clear, well-paced tutorial. I have saved it to watch and do what I need to in order to be successful with my berries. Thank you!

Thanks fer the info Buzzy😉

wish you would have done more very in close shots as that to me is the key--identifying. But lets ask you to explain what is an old cain? what identifies it as it seems one you kept looks old but you kept it. ty !!!

Nice and clear explanation. No muss, no fuss. I will now go and have a 'discussion' with my blueberries...

Very informative and easy to follow. Thanks

Ah......another kindred soul! I live in the desert - I live on a mesa so there are really high winds here. I also have 17- 8foot shade canopies. At some point in my growing adventures I wondered, mused.....why did anyone start growing fruit as trees? Shade trees, ornamental trees, I can see but fruit? or nuts? There are so many what I call own root fruit bushes available to grow by seed and that got me started on bushes which are perfect for this geographically challenging area. Bu what to do with my 40 semi and dwarf trees in the ground? So I did just what you did. Some of them were more than four years old but things grow slow in the desert so it wasn't a hard venture. I've kept my mulberries at 8'. They need to be cut back severely each year, then they will try to grow tall during the summer and I just let them and cut them back again in the winter. If I have time, I do tip the side branches during the summer. Some took a while to recoup from the cutting trauma but they all did come back. I spent one whole winter digging up all my fruit trees under 8' tall and put them in air-pruning pots. Everything.....nuts and fruit. It has been a real success and I am glad I was courageous enough to do it. They are really healthy and much happier than they were trying to grow like a tree in the ground. Some of them I cut back over two years time as I did not want to traumatize them too much so it did take a couple of years to cut back the bigger ones. My theory in gardening is nothing is impossible. It may not work the first time in the way we initially try but if we keep trying, it comes about. Everything can be easily covered with bird net now, not so much money spent on fertilizing and my water bill went from $600 to $200 every two months. I am definitely a happy camper.

cute pruner.

This is perfect instruction for how to I can care for my two apple trees. They were about 5-6 ft tall in fall of 2017 when I planted them, I totally forgot to prune last winter and am excited to do so this winter. I was told they may bear fruit the first year but that was a laugh. Hopefully pruning will help.

Thank you. Both delightful and I'm sure it will be helpful come late winter for my area. Great video.

I just love how you just get to the point and show exactly what needs to be done, thank you for this.
