- How long does it take fruit trees to bear? Not as long as you might think, provided you follow this advice!
Some years ago, I discovered the secret to making trees grow fast. Treat them like babies! Very consistent water and feeding cuts out the down time and gets them moving like you wouldn't believe. Today I demonstrate how to get trees to fruit faster and grow bigger than you might think possible. Some trees are naturally fast-growing, while others are slow. However, even the slow trees can grow faster under the right conditions. Here's how to encourage fruiting and growth. Be consistent and use this garden hack - your trees will grow, grow, grow!

From my grandparents knowledge is u need to burn something under the coconut...and another is put salt between the coconut leaves...100% works for me...anybody can try n share your experience im in malaysia
very good life it
I was having terrible problems with my fruit seed starting. They'd die fast one way or another. I saw a video on programming seeds. It was about starting the seeds with the worst soil on your property. So far so good. It apparently gives the seed low expectations and kicks it into a sort of overdrive. So far so good. But I will use your method at planting time for sure!
“Providing you can get funding” 😂😂😂😅 I’m dead😂😂😂😅 I’ve got a bunch of strangers staring at me right now wondering what’s wrong with me😂
lindsey hauk of COURSE, you make the water fund and build the wall 😂
Bahaha
Caught that too. Hilarious! Omg.
I like to extend my air conditioning drip line out to service a tree or two when I can. Just letting it sit on that toot zone gives it a consistent drip of moisture in the hot summer months. Works very well
I started my greenhouse last fall. Alot of chop n drop, compost tea, chicken poop and forest covering. Planted some stuff and when it got cold I got a drip hose. Ran the drip overnight below 40°. Even the avocado tree loved it. Went down to 24°, still have the avocado, longevity spinach, shiso, turtle vine, wandering jew, parsley, moringa and even an orchid hanging up is setting a bloom. I'm so flabbergasted.
So much interesting that you supplied barely "warmed" water in order to keep frosts at bay with combination of the greenhouse. :)
So THATS why my lemon tree is producing so profusely this year! I’ve been loving it a little too much and giving it lots of water. Lol then I gave it some shake and feed in February. I didn’t think I was going to get anything from my tiny citrus but they’re all going off!
I got my Thai Guava to bear fruit from seed after two years
Great example with your tree vs your neighbors. Dripping water on it slowly every other day and use Manuer. I just started my 1st white mulberry tree cutting from a friend yesterday with chicken Manuer and water. I’m currently manually watering it and I can tell after hearing your video I didn’t do enough. Thank you!
You know so much and are really helpful to us all. I watered my plum after watching this. I like it when you sing in your gardening videos. It’s happy making!!
Dang, the trick was the click bait. You mean I have to tend to my plants. This is crazy. It is no wonder my plants are not doing well.
It's amazing how many people just stick trees in the ground and don't really baby them.
I know it's kind of off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream new movies online?
@Esteban Tate I use FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
@@davidthegood I have no doubt, we learn absolutely worthless data in school for adulthood or pregrad prep. Few have horticulture programs and none support organic due to Monosanto the seed owners. Biggest lobbyists in the world
Can’t wait to see how you build your new homestead on your new plot
Just planted two dwarf coconut trees,
The planting is the easy bit, it’s the babying that is work!
This is great info and a good reminder. I have some avocado, cashew, jackfruit and cinnamon trees on nursery and a couple dozen other fruit and nut trees as well as coffee and cacao planned for my food forest.
I’m still building my house and waiting for my well to be drilled before I can plant the first trees. Here in Liberia, we’re in the middle of our six month dry season and our last rain was 7 weeks ago. So building on a hilltop without running water, it’s a terrible time to plant anything. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some trees in the ground next month. I’ll definitely be following your advice! Thanks, brother!
I can relate to this bit of advise as I planted coconut at the same time as my neighbor but mine are all loaded. I watered them all through the dry season I got fruit I 1.5 years instead of 3
Very so much neat!
I like your tips! thank you, now I know why many of my fruit trees are not bearing any fruit! 15 years took for my tangerine!
Very nice!!! Great I will use this knowledge to plant my 3 avocado trees 😁
Very true, luv that compost commercial. Good laughs😂 thanks guy's👍
Very timely, as we're in the very pit of winter thinking/dreaming about getting some cherry trees this spring
I've also started adding vitamin B12 (cobalt) when watering fruit trees. Cures scab on apples in a single season
Very interesting. I will look into that.
Really nice video - sound advice. Thanks for reminding us to feed and water.
True wat u saying.. Speaking from experience... I put abundant chicken manure around n watered n the trunk in a year is super thick n tree grew huge
Thanks, I will use this on my semi dwarf Honeycrisp apple tree.
mine took off with lots of mulch out to the perimeter of the leaves.
Gary Hello
Did it work?
Same works for nut trees to. Helps to maintain adequate moisture also. Keep the mulch/fertilizer away from the trunk of the tree, fungus etc (diaper rash?).
You can easily tell when a fur tree finally finds it's own water - you'll see 6 to 10 inches or more new growth at the tips, and they will shoot up vertically. It's a glorious sight!
absolutely TRUE! tree well, fill 3x water, feed, every 3 days. everything that was ded that was brought home, I brought back to life and thrived. 100 plants, bushes and trees. 99 survived, 9500 elevation, ski country.
There is a reason we turned the front lawn into a food forest and not the back..... it means its in sight and in mind all the time.
Although I got lucky with the soil, not much organics atm (it was a lawn for nearly 50 years lol) but it is a loam soil tending towards a little more clay. Even during our hot Aussie summer, I only need to deep water maybe every 2-3 weeks, as long as I keep the sugar cane mulch up. I can dig the soil and its damp to a foot and a half (that's where I stopped digging). Trees seem to love it, especially my Magnus Summer apple. It went from maybe 40cm high to well over 2m at this point. It exploded. I will cut it, sorry prune it in half come winter in a few months.
So nature has taken care of the water problem, I just need to keep feeding the soil.
Good video. Need to do both these things (water and feed) more often 😊. Sometimes I just forget but am now setting up a timer in my irrigation water.
Good thinking.
Hey survival Gardner here's a tip: find a metal rod about a 1/4" or 3/8" thick and 3' long. on one end make a dull point, on the other end fashion a "T" handle. use this device to poke deep holes around your trees so that the water can more easily get down into the roots!
Really great advice, David! Thank you so much!🙏
Thank you for watching.
This is good info. I rarely water my trees, but we have been getting quite a bit of rain the last couple of years. But yeah, I think I will try using compost more and watering more often this year especially since I water everything with rainwater so it doesn't cost me anything but time.
Awesome tip! I'll remember this!
Great tips. Love the funding laugh🙌
My mom always said if a citrus tree isn’t putting out it’s in shock and it needs a baseball bat taken to it... it worked on a neighbors tree 😂
Good video. Thanks.
love your gospel analogies my brother :))))
Very, very good advice. I just wish that we had that problem. We have the opposite. Way too much rain. We have to put our new ones in raised beds this spring.
Thank you. Too much water is a big problem. They should still benefit from regular feeding, though, especially with how nutrients are probably washing right through.
R u in mobile AL??👍
Thank you! I just ordered your new Florida survival gardening book and two of your previous books. I also ordered the English version of the JADAM organic gardening book. I live in Citra, FL, and was going broke buying topsoil and composted cow manure for my sandpit yard! I am going to add a food forest and new garden areas once I have killer trees professionally taken down and the branches and tops chipped. The topsoil and compost proved I can grow stuff on Citra Beach, but I need to do things differently to scale up. Thank you! P.S. Your wife is a great teacher, too!
Thank you
Great video. Thanks.
Good information! I just got a couple fruit trees!
Thank you. Not many people share their knowldge so honestly. Many people want to impress others and don't tell it like you do. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you - that is very kind of you.
Sound advice David! Thanks for sharing!
That's too much work. A simpler way is just to ask the tree to grow fruit (yelling at it might help a bit).
That is funny.
Try education. I NEVER yell at a tree. I explain to them that trees are used to produce fruit, firewood and/or shade. I ask them which they want to be. Most decide not to be firewood.
lol I love this comment
Haha
@@FreeAmerican Yelling!That's child abuse.
I'm using fertilizer spikes to apply the feed below the grassroots ('cause I don't want to grow grass) and giving about 3-5 gallons of water per day during the growing season for my nut trees. This will be year three for my pecan trees, and they look like they will be producing at least 20lbs of nuts per tree. The hazelnuts that I planted THIS year are growing like weeds (7-10 gallons), and will likely produce nuts next year. Water, water, and water Is absolutely the trick, especially when your tree is trying to fill out it's fruit.
Way to go. You are right - water is the biggest factor.
thanks for showing on how to propagate my friend
Wonderful garden information and tips 😀👌👍
Thank u for sharing good job blessings
Thank you I love your show so much and I appreciate you don’t use foul language so I don’t have to quick run for the remote!!🥰
Thanks, Mr Good. This lifehack video is 12,000 years overdue. Imagine what our ancestors could have done with this knowledge. This constant irrigation and fertilizing business is revolutionary stuff indeed.
Now I am ready for my fruit trees..LOL Thanks
Great idea to have a retention for water
Fine. You guilted me into feeding my fruit trees. 😎🌵🌻🍄🌴🐝
Thank you!! Not bait and switch ...i needed to know this we just planted mulberries
Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed your vedio presentation.
Aside from hammering, you can burn leaves near the tree to smoke it. It is used to stress the tree to think it is in danger so it will produce flowers. The smoking method is used here in South East Asia
Very interesting! That is a new one for me.
Thanks David ..
Great info 👍👍👍
Nice video, very informative, Thanks for sharing bro👍
Good job David.
You're spot on!
Me: okay, sure, I have 12 minutes to see what this guy's going to say.
Then I subscribed based on the shirt alone.
Thank goodness for your channel
Great info. My local home store stopped carrying the manure based fertilizer I was using on my citrus. So I switched to what they said was the product I needed...and all my fruit stopped. Now I know why. Thumbs up to anyone quoting Scripture.
Awesome video! Good things take care and work, constantly.. Appreciate your honestly!
Thank you.
Thanks for the information 👍
" *He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.*
*Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?*
*And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:*
*And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down." Luke 13:6-9*
There is a ton of good agricultural info in the Bible. People weren't stupid back then and paid a lot of attention to what worked and didn't work. Lots of observation and growing based on observation.
@@davidthegood, amen David. God has shown me my place in heaven in a vision before. It was beautiful, I lived among the tree of life that grew on either side of the crystal clear river of the water of life as described in Revelation chapter 22. I tended a garden of vegetables there forever and fed all the people who came..... that is what I live for and treasure the most, is to be there someday...
@@davidthegood,
" *And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.*
*In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." Revelation 22:1-2*
Perhaps someday I will meet you there. May God bless you and your family.
" *Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:*
*But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:*
*For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew **6:19**-21*
@@rehoboth_farm, beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing this. May God bless you and your family.
Great information!
Neatly explained in detail of everything comes to together, instead of just the blatant obviousness. :)
Love the video Brother very well putt together I know for a Fact you’re On point 💯💯💯every time I plant a Tree I water it put dead animals an fish in the Ground just past the drip line an then some organic stuff around the drip line around the tree on top of the soil….. wen I plant something I give it love 365 they Blow 🆙 Man 😉💯💯💯🙏🌎❤️💪👊
Banana skins are great for rose bushes. I have roses until January in Ireland. Growing avocados indoors with year round herbs! Can be done.
Hanora Brennan - Yup, banana skins = potassium and they work wonders on all types of plants. I make my husband eat tons of bananas (I love the flavor but hate the consistency) just to tuck the skins everywhere!
Hello from Florida 👋 Love your country, hope to visit again someday!
Love the video. Thanks from the Bahamas.
Really great stuff...back to basics. Cheers, brother! Chris.
Thank you, Chris.
Thank you my man, I appreciate the great advice!! By the way, I got the message about the wall if it’s paid for👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😂
Stumbled onto your channel and was intrigued by the fauna in your area because I just bought land that looks similar and want to grow a few things. From my quick research it looks like you're in Florida ... which is a tiny let down, but I'll get over it. I'm located in Asia with a very long growing season and really looking forward to putting in more fruit bearing trees.
No - I am in Central America. Used to be in Florida. No cold at all here. Climate may be similar to yours. Glad you found me.
I have 2 spruce trees in pots that I've been keeping alive. Bare rootstock. They're sitting against the front porch so that I don't forget them, even in winter here in SW North Dakota I go out on really nice days and water them. Sadly the total of them were 15, but the uncle had them out in the open, unprotected, didn't water them very often. 😕
Currently, I have apple and pear seeds stratifying. So I can pot them up. Can't wait to see what I get for fruits on them. 😁
Good luck!
@@davidthegood wow, TH-cam sure does wonderful at notifications. I only got this tonight.
Thanks David! The apple trees are still doing well, 4 surviving so far. I have to check the seeds again soon. The pines are doing great. I haven't had to water them through this 2nd part of winter. We've been getting regular snowfalls. 🎉
thanks for inspiring us sir David as a gardener :)
Great info video!!!
Nice one! I'm in the Permaculture camp and there's a paradigm of "letting the plant find its way" but I often find myself suggesting out loud to the screen, "give it some food and water" when the presenter is saying, "It's just not doing very well here".
Yes, definitely!
Enjoyed it brother!
Thank you - good to see you here, Rob.
Great lesson. Thanks a lot. Do you do the rust nail for iron hack?
this is great information
I keep a dishpan under the drip spout of my AC. Every AM before leaving for work and every PM when I get home, I dump the distilled water from the AC on my avacado tree tree.
David, I love the way you share your awesome knowledge! I need some quick advice! My young pear and plum trees, that were doing quite well, was attacked by a renegade goat! She chewed some of the bark about 2-3 ft up from the ground on one and broke down into the tree of one! I wrapped the broken one with a wrap I usually use on my ankle and the other was already tied up. Everyone is giving me different advice! Do I apply anything to the wound or just water and feed? Help! These trees are very special (long story!) Thx and God bless from west Texas!
If they have fruit on them remove it to help the healing process. I hope you are able to save them.
Great video!! Thank you for the trick
Thank you, Michelle.
I enjoyed your video, thanks!
I have a question for you, my husband waters and fertilizes our avocado tree, but all of the fruit fall off before they grow, what do you recommend we do to have avocados?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
That sounds like a pollination issue. Avocados like a pollinator. If you can plant another tree that is a match, that should stop the problem. A little tricky but less time consuming: you could graft a few scions from other avocado trees onto some of the branches so they will bloom and pollinate the tree.
You can also use some type of soil moisture granules for newly planted tree that are too far away easy water source. . I always get tickled folks think there is enough water from the dew or occasional rains for a newly planted tree...anyone whoever puts a spade in the ground should know that is just doesn't work that way. I am RADICAL about watering my trees! (and have had 2 back surgeries to prove it ;) )
Trick I learned from an old timer: use a 5 gallon bucket with a small hole in it to provide a slow drip of water. Especially to trees that are tough to get to with a hose and also have to check on them less ofted.
‘Provided you can get funding’ love it
David, Have watched your, site sorry to say only occasionally, that is over I'm glad to subscribe today just because of that t-shirt!!! Going to check out the store....
Thank you very much. Welcome.
I believe that techniques to make plants bear fruits fast, is called grafting techniques if I recall it right, these techniques is taught in East Visayan School of Arts and Trade in Dumaguete City Philippines
You can't graft a coconut tree
You can also fertilize coconuts by using sea salt as a fertilizer.
That's cool. I could bring some from the ocean.
Thank you for this video! I tried for years to sprout avocados. I I think in 2019 I just gave up and threw theM into compost piles. W ell compost is used readily here and bingo I had on sprout in a raised bed. I dug it up and have been raising it in a food grade 5 gallon bucket. It’s about 2.5 feet. I think I need to repot or plant it. I am in Palm Valley Fl. Between Jacksonville Beach and St. Augustine. We some times get freezes … most years one…sometimes zero but on occasion three or four any suggestions?
The Baby nurturing parallel is so true. I turned out ok I guess, but all my siblings were between 10-15 years old before learning to walk. Now it all makes sense why.......
On point information all around!
Great info David!🌸
Thank you, Denise.
Great Video
Thank you
Hello, is it ok to fertilize trees that start fruiting in May? Or that would harm the small fruits on the tree?
👍🏼 thank you 😊 love it 👌🏼
Thank you for the great ideas! It's on my calendar for this weekend. Also, I don't see where to find your compost made easy?? Thanks
I’m setting up a 3 acre food harvest. I set up 300 sprinklers on a push button system. My fruit trees look super healthy and growing well. Most have grown feet not inches in 5 months. I thought it was pretty obvious to water every few days in our hot climate. I Fertilise with mainly grass clippings and occasionally cow or chicken manure tea.
nice trick
Love your t-shirt!!!!
