Hey all, it's Dianna from The Fruit Grove. This channel is all about my love of growing fresh fruit in my suburban backyard. It all started with my massive frustration with the lack of good-tasting fruit in grocery stores. Why put up with bland berries when you can just grow them yourself?
I live and garden in humid, subtropical east Texas in hardiness zone 8b. So not only do I have extreme summer heat, humidity, and disease pressure, but we also get a few hard freezes every winter in the single digits or low teens. But I'm up for the challenge, and I invite you to come along with me as I continue to learn to grow my very own backyard Fruit Grove.

Yay!! Thank you, beginning beginner.
Thank you for breaking down the differences among these types. Glad I found your channel since I’m starting my own orchard soon 😊
helpful, thank you for posting. Have had this issue also. Fruit trees are not simple or straight-forward but they are so worthwhile.Fruit trees are like kids to me! I call them my STICK CHILDREN. Yes that sounds creepy.
Strawberries. Can we transplant to other areas? Or wait?
Great video! I’ve got blackberries and new to gardening. I appreciate your clear explanations!
Well made video!
I think trees are so pretty done like that i thought about trying one of my fig trees but havent work up enough courage yet
I’m far from an expert but it’s my understanding that sulfur does not break down if the soil temps go below 50F
Aren't pine needles a bit acidic? what leaf to needle ratio do you use?
Wondering what zone you are in….im in Sacramento, ca.
"I live and garden in humid, subtropical east Texas in hardiness zone 8b." From her bio.
@ thanks so much!
I have a lemon tree about 1 foot tall. Grows straight up. No branches. Where do I prune to make it get branches? Thank you.
Hi! Your video is very informative. Thank you! How many feet away from the fence did you plant it? I have the same young Wonderful tree I bought from Stark Bros, and I'm not sure how far from the fence should I plant it.
Thanks! It's probably 4-5 feet away from the fence. I wouldn't plant it any closer unless you want to share a lot of pomegranates with your neighbors! I also like being able to walk all the way around the tree without too much trouble.
@TheFruitGrove thank you!!
Great video
OK, ... YOU have answered, in just a few words, ALL of my "how to" prune questions about pomegranates!!!!! The fruit is on NEW growth, which can come from ANY 2-3 year (or older) wood, AND that to keep the production going, just re-new with new shoots, "suckers", etc. WHY did NO ONE else want to share that???? THANK YOU!!!!!!! (PS we also live in Zone 8b in the desert!)
I’m so glad it helped!
Widzę Polskę w tym buziu.
did it fruit this summer?
Love this video, Dianna! So much great information!
I'm in North Texas! When's the best time to actually do propagation? Spring, fall?
Spring/summer is best for tip layering (while the plant is actively growing). But fall/winter is better for propagating from cuttings when they’re dormant. And hello!
I have found letting the fruit fully mature is key especially for citrus. The flavors are (better) very different from store brought citrus. Limes fully yellow, meyer lemon fully orange, pink lemonade no green, more of a pink hue. Moro blood orange to almost purple but will fall off quicker. Pink lemonade when fully ripe, do taste "grapefruity" without the tartness, lol.
Thanks everyone for the heads up about the glitches in this video. Unfortunately the only option is to re-upload the entire video, which I have done and it will be posted tomorrow morning, 11/6/24 at 9:00 am CST. The new video link is here: th-cam.com/video/pbRVSLejx3I/w-d-xo.html
I got one of these this year! Good to know they need a little extra sun. It's currently in a pot but I want to find a good spot in the yard for it. I am in Florida. The restrictions seem to vary, maybe by zip code, but I was able to get one in NE FL. I got mine from Stark Bros.
Great! Good to hear you were able to order it from out of state. I've seen mixed things about that too.
Mine is not variegated but the fruit itself is red in colour on the skin
I was thoroughly enjoying your very informative video, but there were some pauses during it, where I had to forward the video to continue watching it. I would love to be able to hear the full version👋
Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to completely re-upload the video, and I'll schedule it for tomorrow 11/6/24. The link to the new upload is th-cam.com/video/pbRVSLejx3I/w-d-xo.html

Your yard is awesome, I love it!
Thank you!
Hello Palestine! Really good video love thanks!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!
I literally just bought these same varieties to plant this fall, might give espalier a try now.
I highly recommend it. So far so good.
How did it go with the final aggresive pruning? Just wander how it sprang back to life?
Just fine - the tree responded really well to the pruning and has fruited like crazy the past couple years. After that initial heavier pruning to shape the Meyer lemon I haven't had to do much trimming at all.
I'm in East Texas too, I'm looking forward to your channel. I've had issues with my soil being too wet, got any tips on dealing with this, I'm going to plant my next trees above ground level and do a nice top soil+compost+mulch slopped bed
Hello fellow East Texan! I think mounding up the soil and planting above ground level is your best option to help with drainage. You can also dig down a little and add compost to the top foot of soil.
@TheFruitGrove ya I'm considering ellen white hole with mounding for proper root flare drainage.
THANKS FOR THIS INFORMATION 👍 I ALSO ADD MULCH IN THE FALL BUT I PUT SOME OF THE TREES LEAVES UNDER THE MULCH TO BREAK DOWN. ONLY IF THE LEAVES ARE HEALTHY LOOKING !
Absolutely! I should have clarified better in the video, but I only keep leaves directly under fruit trees if they are healthy. I have such high disease pressure in my area that the leaves usually have some sort of rust, or other issues, and I don't want to risk overwintering disease or pests.
Wow that grew a lot!❤
Yes it did! Still going strong.
Good advice.thankyou.
You're welcome!
Ypu have a beautiful fruit orchard.thankyou for sharing and i hope you get a great harvest.Enjoy!!!
Thanks! It gets better every year as I learn more.
Very well explained. Thankyou.
Glad it was helpful!
Yes do share spray tips please!
Will do!! Working on something for this winter. It's a complex topic that's very location-dependent, but I know how helpful it is when other gardeners share their experience and tips.
Back yard fruit grower here, zone 6a/b (depending on winter temps) I agree with some of the comments here calling for leaving leaf litter under the tree. If there’s strong disease pressure spray the litter as well and if you mulch over the litter (also a must, mulch), spray the litter before applying the mulch and then spray the mulch too. Pruning, as hard as it may be, needs to be done. Specially on stone fruits, most definitely in late winter/early spring (promotes growth), also around the solstice in summer (controls size and keeps light and air circulating and can be done to thin the fruit set as well, also highly recommended for yearly, not biannual or rare production), in fall for diseased and dead branches, never in early or mid winter. For organic spraying alternate between neems oil , copper fungicide and kaolin clay. I start with neems late winter/early spring and a week later the fungicide. In between I do a feed/spray of diluted 3 H2O: 1 milk: 248mg of aspirine. Kaolin clay on the third week, then after fruit has formed as it will interfere with pollination. After the first application, neems and copper fungicide every two weeks at evening/early night. I repeat the milk and ASA after solstice pruning and after harvest. By then, fruit should be set and kaolin clay is sprayed w the milk and asa, after pruning. Note that by then, depending on your disease pressure and weather, spray kaolin often, definitely after rain to ensure coverage till harvest. I also do a couple hands full of worm castings 4-6 times/season and a couple shovels of compost at early spring, mid summer and after harvest. I make my own version of IV organics w kaolin clay and essential oils and apply it to the trunk at early spring and late fall. You can also dilute that w more water and spray it on the leaves for pest control. I use this kaolin clay diluted mix on all my vegetables. Follow this schedule and water twice a week. If your soil is not deficient to begin with no need to fertilize and you’ll have the healthiest and juiciest fruit and produce you can imagine. I may sound like a lot of work, but the reward is indiscribable. Best of luck!
Yes! I do leave leaf litter that is healthy, but I have crazy high disease pressure and the quickest way for diseases and pests to spread is by overwintering in debris. The leaves I was raking in the video fell due to rust (on the fig tree) and some bacterial spot damage (peach trees). No way I was leaving those on the ground. But I do leave healthy leaves and pine needles and grind them up into mulch. Thanks for sharing your tips!
Definitely need information on spraying all type of fruit trees.
Noted! I'm working on something for this winter. It's a complex topic that depends a lot on where you live, but I'm happy to share my experience and tips.
OMG, leave your leaves on the ground under the tree as nature intended, Wrong advice. If you have them add 4 to 6 inches of wood chips as a mulch under your trees also.
I hear you - and I do leave healthy leaves (I could have clarified this better in the video). But I have a ton of disease pressure, and the quickest way for disease and pest issues to spread is by overwintering in infected debris on the ground. I generally rake up my fruit leaves, but make a mulch out of other healthy leaves and pine needles that I spread around under my fruit trees. In the video, the fig tree leaves had fallen due to rust (which has run rampant in my area this year), and the peach trees had issues with bacterial spot from a rainy spring. But YES to leaving disease-free leaves.
Yes please more dormant spray tips. I had a huge problem with borers on my stonefruit this year and actually lost 2 plumcots that i just planted!
I'm working on something for this winter! It's a complex topic, but I'm happy to share my suggestions. Borers are the worst - hang in there!
Thank you for all the information.
You bet!
Great information. I have an apple tree that I planted nearly 3 years ago, it has grown very little in that time; however this year it had one new growth that shot up about 2-3 feet. At a loss on what to do with the tree, trim that one branch to be more in line and hopefully force growth elsewhere or use that as a new liter and try and save the tree.
I am in the same conundrum. It's funny, because it is the tree that produces fruit, while the one that grows like gangbusters has nothing to show for it.
I have a Fuji apple Tree that’s is the same. I got a soil test and the area is deficient in nitrogen.
That's tricky, not sure what I'd recommend. Is the new growth coming from above the graft union? Sudden vigorous growth might mean a sucker growing from the rootstock. If that's not the issue, there may be some nutrient deficiency, or maybe a drainage problem that's keeping the tree stunted. Good luck!
Sometimes a tree under a little stress fruits better than a super vigorous "happy" tree - survival instinct!
Pretty neat....pretty neat....Pretty good....pretty good.....Alright.
I love it. I did something similar along my unsightly fence line. I pounded 10’ long 2” diameter galvanized steel poles into the ground (2’ deep and 2’ away from the property fence) every 8 feet then drilled holes in the poles to string trellis wire in between the poles every foot high up to the top. My hopes are to have lots of fruit and complete privacy screen once the vines are established. What variety did you plant? How it is holding up?
That sounds like a great option. I think my variety was "Frederick." The vine has COMPLETELY covered the trellis by now, November (planted in March). It loved the hot weather as long as I kept it irrigated (drip irrigation for the win). Hopefully fruit next season!
Wow! Great informative video! Thanks for sharing!😊 I have a pH tester, so I know I need to increase my pH. Recently purchased the soil acidifier. Will put out today as I’m planting in the spring. I also have peat moss, and will get some pine bark to use as a mulch. So excited to plant now knowing all this information. Thanks again!
Your welcome! Good luck!
wow amazing
Hi, would love to see a video showing how the pomegranate tree looks with the spring/summer growth after its first pruning.
I missed the window for that this spring, but I plan to show the tree next spring...keep an eye out! I didn't get fruit this year since I had to prune so heavily this first spring, but now that it's shaped I won't have to do much trimming from here on out. The tree has grown really well this year. I've had to trim root suckers a few times, but other than that the shape looks good.
thanks great video: I have a Myers lemon from Seed 2019, never blossomed just placed to a larger pot roots still l show on top, not worried, will be indoors for my NYC season, and under a grow light wrapped with a blanket for warmth as it will be near a window, I need to trim but rather not as I will lose 30% of the leaves by spring Watching your vid may make me grab a few branches and trim time for me to replenish with liquid fertilizer again thanks, any tip I guess was offered in trimming thanx again FISH Added not I did not want to be lazy So readjusted taken some potting mix out and lowered down some I am good and never will we get the spiders out as one was in there as I already soaped down with commercial goods safe for the lemon tree ( SMILES) just need to clip clip some stems will do one day
I didn't know about pruning until i saw some vedios like this recently. My peach has grown wild and it's very difficult now to shape it.
Yeah it's tricky once it's already overgrown. You can cut back by about a third at a time to try and get it under control, but I wouldn't do more than that to avoid shocking the tree.
I would use 99% or 95% sulfur because the other sulfur is 10%
Yeah, the soil acidifier is a weaker concentration, but it's also a bit more forgiving because of that and less likely to harm the plant. If you need to make a bigger pH change, I'd use a higher concentration and do it several months before planting.
peat moss. i had no idea about its ph. thanks!
