Nothing brings more joy than harvesting your own produce. I watched this video with a smile from start to finish. 👍🌺🇦🇺
Hey Prigioni, I just wanted to thank you with all my heart for your channel. I love watching you because you have so much enthusiasm and it seems like you’ve mastered a lot of the things that you grow. I’ve been growing heirloom tomatoes for the last five years straight because my dad turned me onto them. So this year after being inspired by you I found a good person on craigslist who had some bamboo and I am now in the 10 foot tall bamboo club. I think it’s an excellent idea I’ve been using his little dinky stakes from big box stores for way too long they’re just not big enough. Also I thought it was an awesome tip to plant the tomato sideways I had a buddy telling me plan them deeper and put rocks in the bottom of the hole and that would increase the root size. But I think your way is gonna work a lot better I don’t know why didn’t think of that. Also thanks for the Mykos tip. Your food forest looks awesome keep it up real good to see some healthy live in coming out here take care man if you’re ever out in California give me a call. I’ll hook you up with some of my tomatoes.
Hi James! I hope you and Tuck are enjoying the week and all it's blessings!
Hey a. Marie! Yes we are having a great week, eating lost of snacks. We hope you are having a great week also!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video James! Never missed your videos… because of you I got myself 9 garden beds. First year doing gardening.
Hello dear 🙏🙏
Here is zone 7a all the ol timers suggest planting fruit trees in the fall. What do you think?
Wooo hoooo ! Good deal ! And Good Luck !
Friend taught me " put a $10 tree in a $50 hole" meaning prep is important
It seems to me
You have to know what sort of soil you have
And
Know what kind of soil the plant in question prefers.
And then you may want to amend your soil
My mother used to say, don’t put a fifty dollars tree in a five dollar hole.
Huh. My little apple trees cost $200.
Guess I need a D9 caterpillar for my >$1000 hole?

I'm newly growing apple trees and needed to just do more research and learn. As soon as I searched his video came up. I said out loud oh I'm watching this he, he knows shit. I've learned so much from him. I'm also an animal lover, him and Tuk in the garden are like myself and my cat Moo. Right down to her eating snacks 😂
Thanks James for all you do to help teach the future of where humanity around the world needs to evolve. One video at a time gives home growing a whole new hope and gardens are popping up all over 🤗
I moved to NC from NJ and started a garden. Having problems with grasses over growing 😣. I need to get more mulch. But!!!! I was telling one of my patients about your channel and she started laughing saying yours is the only channel she listens to!!!!! Just know your amazing influence is reaching so many of us and we love you and Tuck. Your joy and enthusiasm is so inspiring and brings so much happiness!!! Thank you, James!!!!! And TUCK!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've had issues with hornets and wasps attacking apples as they ripen. Once a hornet discovers your tree they keep coming back (with friends). For me, the solution was a kind of bottle that has a raised hole in the bottom. You put a mixture of white (malt) vinegar and sugar inside, close the top and hang it in the tree. The hornets/wasps are attracted to the bait rather than the apples and can't escape because the bottle is clear.
I got zapped 5 times on my right hand a few days ago because of this. Hornets love sugar smelling fruits
ROCK THAT MID-ATLANTIC 7A CLIMATE ZONE!!!!!
Let’s Gooo!!!
Thanks for yet another great video! I have already started checking out Raintree Nursery for my next tree and berry additions to my fledgling food forest.
You and Tuck are true inspirations!
Nothing better then reaping what you sow. pawpaw trees actually like staying wet but they're probably the hardest fruit to grow in my experience.
Hello 🙏🙏🙏🙏
G'day James, it makes me jealous to see all those apples sitting proudly on your trees without nets etc. Unfortunately, here in the subtropics, we are limited in what varieties we can grow and then we have to deal with the fruit fly and many other animals that target apple crops. Good to see you hitting it out of the park (some of those apples are as big as softballs). Cheers :)
Thanks Mark! Yeah we were really fortunate this year that the squirrels stole all my hazelnuts instead of my apples 🤣🤣
It seems like the critters always outsmart me somehow, but I still have fun.
Thanks for commenting Mark, me and Tuck have been enjoying your videos for a long time ❤️
We can grow mangoes, oranges, limes, etc which I think are better and I know you probably do too mark 😂
😘❤️
what variety of apples can be grown in the subtropics? please let me know. I watched a video of two gardeners that says any apple can be grown in warmer climates and that what was previously believed about apples is false. apple trees can adapt or are just naturally able to produce in any climate.
Loved seeing this comment just got into gardening this year and you are the first two I started to watch
Aside from just being so darn knowledgeable, your energy is infectious! Thank you for these videos!
Let's Gooo Rev K! 😁🐕❤️
Blessings to all!
I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE A APPLE TREE, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!
Long term sustainability is a challenge I wish more folks attempted. One things all folks have in common is food.
you help us so much ! all the world, climate change and reconnecting people with nature - and you purify me and I have a dream a vision which slowly I'll try to manifest to the world as education is most important at this moment and you are one of this great teachers! we can create world wide movement through planting healthy seeds :)
😁❤️
I feel you on the whole being greedy thing. I lost 32 pears about a month or so ago because I wanted to get all the pears I could. The morning I decided I was gonna string up that branch, it snapped a few hours later. I was able to ripen and can some, but most didn't do well.
Every time i see someone who harvest apple in their backyard is such a stress reliever for me.
Another awesome video James. Added this to my spring plan. Those apples look so good I can almost taste them. Lol Really enjoy your posts and enthusiasm
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Those apples look DELICIOUS!!
James and Tuck, thank you so much for this information! I've been wanting to grow fruit trees but wasn't sure how to go about it. This video (as all of them) was very informative, interesting and helpful! Thank you!🙃❤
I LOVE watching and learning from you. My son, granddaughter and HER daughter WILL EAT FROM A FOOD FOREST BECAUSE OF YOU❣️❤️👏🏻😊😎🦩🌴👍🏻🌺
Imagine THAT for a moment!!!!! Or longer 😁❣️
Hi James. Trying to grow a golden delicious and a crab apple tree in North Florida. The crab apple will pollinate with the golden delicious just fine, right? You have the ideal yard! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for your video I learned a lot of how to get rid off the worms from my trees
Great information and we grew up with an “Early Transparent” apple tree in the back yard. Some of my favorite memories was smelling mom cooking applesauce from it in July. Sometimes as early as late June here in the mountains of North Carolina. Mom had it removed after we grew up because it’s a lot of work to maintain and pick up all the fruit from year to year. I returned home after my military service and planted another YT in a different location on the property but also put a honeycrisp in the same spot as when I was growing up. There’s nothing that will stoke the memories like fresh apples picked straight from your own tree.
what a blessed man with a blessed harvest, your hard work pays much!
You inspired me to try to grow an apple tree from seed! I can’t wait to taste them ... just planted this Spring so it’ll be a while. Plan to research some good varieties to grow in my area (6B) and plant more but really looking forward to my own!
Hello Vena
After just a 20s watch, I liked and subscribed. I'm excited to watch all your videos.
James, have you thought about an espilier on one of your trees? You make gardening and the gathering so fun.
Hello Deborah
I love your channel!!! And I just realized you’re in New Jersey as I am! I’m looking to plant trees for wildlife. I’d like the fruits to stagger into winter, because I’ll be moving from my house in 5-7 years and I want to leave lots of food for wildlife and hope the new owners won’t mind sharing their fruit with all
The wildlife I have given my yard to. I planted a peach tree for a big box store 7 years ago and I could t figure out why the fruit would never get ripe, well when the squirrels didn’t wipe the peaches out every year. So I think I know why now. You talked about thinning out the fruit before it matures. I bet that’s the problem, because I had so many peaches pop out and they would never ripen fully, but the squirrels ate them anyhow and buried some for winter food supply. Thank you for the advice about planting apple trees in spring, because I found this video in hopes of buying apple trees this weekend to plant for my wildlife, but I’ll wait until spring now. 9/20/23!- thanks so much! I’m addicted to your channel now
So many tips for apples here. It's always the energy in your delivery for me.😄😄
Absolutely great tutorial video, I just started planting some apple and pear tree, can't wait to pick some fruits, will take a few year though. 🌱🌿
Every time I watch you video's my mouth waters 😆
I potted 30 cuttings, yesterday - Gala and Pink Lady comprised about half of them. The others were Ox Heart plums and Heart of Georgia Peach. I potted what cuttings that I had. These were cuttings from two new apple trees I planted several days ago. My Home Depot apple trees were root bound but I straightened them out before planting. The plum and peach tree had been in the ground over a year and I just took some cuttings from them for rooting. I hope a majority of them survive but won’t know for several weeks. I did my part now for them to do theirs. If they don’t survive I will try again in the spring. I pruned my new apple and plum into an open architecture via a modified leader. I put Epson salts water on the apple trees after planting to prevent root shock. They also got a good dose of lime and bone meal in their planting hole. I also spread lime all over the area where they were planted before I planted them. I live in a low Ph area, so I have to lime everything. I had to add 300# of lime to my yard to get the Ph up to above 6.0 and apples require a minimum of 6.5. I will lime them like I do my yard in the future. If I do not lime all I get is dead sticks, flowers or fruit trees. The atrial Ph of my soil is about 4.5. I will lime them again before spring and then again next summer. Hopefully, my apple trees survive until I get the soil close to 7.0, neutral.
You ought to cover soil Ph in your videos. I also aerated the soil around my apple trees with my Mantis tiller before I planted them, so the lime could get in the soil. I also dug the holes for them with my Mantis. It is a great hole digger.
Save your spurs! Don't pull apples off the tree, you kinda have to pivot the apple around the stem-spur junction and it should just pop off cleanly. Stefan Sobkowiak - The Permaculture Orchard has an excellent video on how to carefully harvest apples. Spurs are really long lived (10 years or more), don't beat them up :)
Hi James .. I'm going to grow some fruit trees when I relocate to zone 7 in the spring. Your channel is a wonderful source of knowledge for me. You certainly have found your calling in life, and keep up the good work !!
I'm about to buy some land and hope to grow some apple trees and veg. Your channel gets me excited about gardening. Keep up the good work
Awesome! Well done. I feel like eating these fresh, delicious, organic Apples. Very nutritious!!
Those apples look so good. William’s pride. I could almost smell them through my phone. 😘😍😋
Just ordered my first apple trees. Can’t wait to plant in the spring
I love watching your videos
Brother you have my dream paradise. Hope i can have that back yard someday.
Good vibes to you man!!
God, I love this show! Yummy food!
There are these yellow sticky pads that I use on these trees. They help control insects a lot I feel!
James! I am a lover of your videos, my husband told me that he hopes that watching all your videos benefit me. L, it really does but I am now pregnant with my 6th child and have all the time in the world to watch you and tuck. I wanted to ask you a favor since we do not get to grow apples here in Guyana 🇬🇾. Can you send me a few clippings of your best apples and grapes so I can try growing them in my garden? It will be a great surprise if it really does. BTW you are making my mouth water biting into that apple.
hi James I am new here, you inspire us so much
Awesome Channel Buddy! Love what you are doing! We are about to start growing some apple trees in Colorado on our Farm.
Just moved from California to Oklahoma. I was growing oranges and lemons. They do not grow well in. Oklahoma. When my house is built I would like to grow apples and maybe pears. Any suggestions from you is greatly appreciated. Really enjoy your videos. In advance thank you
I like to watch your video, From Singapore 🇸🇬
Good guide, i have all my trees in containers as I'm renting. But I have some low chill apple varieties in full bloom at the moment, i got them last year and i recently planted some more regular variets also. I have uploaded a garden tour today if anyone wants to see the massive amount of flowers these baby apple trees have produced.
Thank you for this information James, much appreciated, now I know what is wrong with my apple blossoms and can do something to fix it. I have two apple trees and got 1 apple from each tree last summer aiming for double amount this summer 😊Blessings from NZ.
Let’s Gooo!!! That’s why me and Tuck are here ❤️
always watching ur vids james. very useful. so much learning fr you. thanks.
Thank you.so much for all your videos. 💖
Hello Susan
Thanked James, Tuck is absolutely so Adorable!
Congrats on your 1milion subscribers 💟
putting in my first apple tree today (courtland variety) I'm outside of Philadelphia I hope it's a good variety for my area
Great video. Awesome tips. And always love Tuck photobombing. 🌷🌷🌷
I hope my apple trees could grow just like yours in this hot country...
Very insightful. Thank you for all the information. 👏👏
Thank you so much. This is a huge help for me starting out. From Jaimie in nz
Thanks for sharing I will do this this year.
Thank you for the valuable information. I made the same mistake... Bought my favorite supermarket varieties - Fuji, gala, and braeburn. The braeburn died from fire blight and I've been fighting disease and pests ever since. Just installed a Liberty and so far so good. Might invest in the Williams Pride since we're relatively close to where you are (Maryland). Thanks again!
Hello! This is the 2nd video I have watched featuring you and Tuck and I am happy to have found them. Both entertaining and educational! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and I look forward to watching many more!!
Hello Nikki
So knowledgeable. Thanks so much!
Stunning apple!
Brilliant information I planted fruit trees last year wish I had this knowledge then. Thank you.
I so enjoy your videos. I've gone back to the start of your video journey and have watched so so many of your videos. You and Tuck and the camera person(brother ?) have done a beautiful job on your food forest. Amazing. I wish I were your neighbor....lol..take care..
We grow them!!!!!!!!!
I love this guy!
As a fellow Jersey (South) fruit grower I can vouch for the plague of PC and the effectiveness of surround. But once you summit that challenge you get to OFM which is the hill I'm on this year. Wish me luck.
I have several beet tops that i want to plant. Our temps get down to 25° so i wonder should i plant them in separate pots or will they grow if planted in the soil? Thanks for this wonderful blog. I'm following you and becoming better at growing food
finally i see the videos good
James great job turning a sand box into a food paradise. Last video you mentioned that Cone flowers were your favorite. My wife and I love them also. We have them in six different place on the garden, white, light purple, and salmon. The reason we have so many is my wife wants a RED one, we have purchased 3 plant that said they were red and one pack of seeds that were supposed to be red but turned out to be light purple. So if you have a red one, in the fall can I buy one of the cones from you? Thanks and thank you for all the hard work you do to share the most important part of life, being able to feed yourself!
Thank you for the 3e info on apples
Love ur beautiful garden....
Hello Diane
Can you make a list of companies you got your seeds, roots, and trees from?
Can u do a video about irrigation? This is such a big garden. I wonder how u water everything 😅 and ur fave hose or watering tools. Thx!
I had a couple 20 foot tall wild black walnut trees near some 40+ year old apple trees. The golden delicious closest barely has any leaves on it this year and a Rome about 15 feet from it is loaded with apples, but not many leaves. I think both have suffered from the bw's, unfortunately. I'm in hopes I can at least save the Rome or maybe start some from seed since my dad had planted them. That being said, just be careful what you have growing nearby so you don't have something like that happen. I enjoy your channel and learn a lot, and Tucker is just the cutest. Thanks.
Sweet you and tuc are.. ❤️. Cheers from Dubai.. Its an unachievable dream for us to grow an apple tree here 😒
James, its ben a dream of mine to have a garden like yours. I think Ive got the veggies under control in the raised beds but I am having trouble planting fruit trees in my heavy clay and wet soil. we have a couple inches of sandy loam then about 3 feet of clay underneath and then more sandy loam. any advice on how to prepare the soil? id love to have a variety of fruit tree and hear your expertise! it seems like your soil is very sand and the exact opposite of what I am dealing with. Best, Phil
Me encanta tu huerta! Me encantaría que traduzcas al español lo que hablas para poder aprender al respecto... Entiendo muy poco el inglés pero tú hablas muy rápido! Saludos desde Argentina...👋👋👋
Considering the price of Honeycrisp these days, every yard should have at least two apple trees. We had seven trees in our yard when I was young and nothing was better than picking them right off the tree.
Thank for making this video and explaining everything well. This is what I needed to know about fruit trees. Thank you..Thank you and hi Tuck 😊🐶
Beautiful
I would like to visit your farm James!
Beautiful apples
With 4-1/2 acres I can afford to be less antsy about my fruit trees--no sprays and no micro-managing every last little potential problem--and I still manage to get plenty of good edible fruits. I select varieties primarily for flavor: Wickson, Golden Russet, Winter Banana, Calville Blanc d'Hiver. Next variety I want to get is King David. Have had great success buying from Fedco in Maine.
I plan to order William's pride from raintree. Raintree is only a couple hrs from here. I've ordered from them before. Great nursery
I like your style:)
Be happy 😂❤
I've applied the sulfur with a plastic ketchup bottle. Worked pretty well for me.
LOOK AT THEM APPLES 😲 Way to go!!! Are all those from root stocks?? Amazing. I can taste it just watching.
Wow I hope someday sir ,I can experience also to pick fruits in the tree
A wealth of information👏
Glad you found value in it Lisa 😁
James thanks so much for your excellent videos!
Delicious Apple 🍎
I love apple, hope i have like that ,many plant of apple.
Thanks!
Hello Rita
This is so much to learn . Thank you
Wow wonderful 👍👍👍
Are William's pride and Liberty apples able to resist cedar rust? I have Ozark Black and a Granny Smith that is barely hanging on.
