    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.

    • @TheFruitGrove

  • @odimarbatista3976
    @odimarbatista3976 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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!

    • @TheFruitGrove
      @TheFruitGrove 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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!

    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.

    • @TheFruitGrove
      @TheFruitGrove 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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.

    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.

    • @TheFruitGrove
      @TheFruitGrove 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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!

    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!

    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%

    • @TheFruitGrove

      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!
