Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada! I so appreciate TH-cam postings that get straight to the point with quality information! Take care and stay safe!
Hey man. This video is no joke. This dude teaches the truth. If you don't know, well now you do. Thanks dog.
I've been pruning my peach trees for years and have watched plenty of pruning videos (they're kinda therapeutic) but this one is the most informative. I'll have to cut some 2x2s and get some finish nails lol. Better than wires.
You're the only person I found who would tell me how to do a central leader! Very well explained ~ Thanks!
I'm grow with you, got you fan Mr Peach growing man.
now I can get road with "Peaches" her first year being grown from seed given her, her first pruning
thanks
Excellent and informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My two trees have been in the ground almost a year now and pruning time is approaching. It has been very helpful to watch and listen to your demonstration.
I LOVE vanilla ice cream and peaches, Jody shows physical evidence of his appreciation for vanilla ice cream and peaches.
Thank you! I have followed this every year and my tree is looking so awesome!
Just what i was looking for! Thanks for posting.
Indeed very beautiful. Excellent teacher to the point, elaborate, accurate and very practical teaching. Thanks a lot.
very helpful. I will have to look back at this video soon so i can know what to do again
I have a 2-3 year old peach tree that is lopsided, and I needed info on how to train the scaffolding branches on a central leader. Thank you for the clear and concise explanation!!
Exactly the info I was looking for, thanks!
Love all the wonderful information
This was an excellent video, well produced. I found it very helpful.
well explained by a good teacher
Thank you. I planted 3 young trees in my back yard last spring and was going to prune them based on videos that had to do with trees orchards. I appreciate the tips.
Same ❤ thankful for this video
thank you so much sir. that was what I looking for. I'm a big fan of you. very helpful and impressive. thanks again
Very good video. Good training for basic structure cuts.
Thank you so much Jody, your video is the only one that I could watch through. You explained this so well, loved the live example printing. I never knew about the Center leaders. I am a first time peach tree buyer, got a belle if Georgia from Lowes this spring on a while and your video is a great educational resource! I’m hoping I can prune my standard tree enough to keep in container
Good explanations!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Very informative. Thanks!
Thank you, great video!
Very good explanation!! Thanks!❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you! That was super helpful!!!
Did learn from this video. ✌
Nice video, thank you! And Go Aggies!
Excellent!
Thank you
Thank you so helpful
thank you very much. very informative.
so 3 years after planting - you can allow peaches to grow...seems like such a long time considering the tree was in a nursery for 5 to 7 years.
Great video
Thank you sir.
I just bought a tropic snow white peach tree. My first ever. I'm looking forward to it. Great information. My is small. How long does it take to fruit?
Good info
Every winter for the past 3 years I've used this video to help me prune for the upcoming season. My two trees gave us several peaches last summer and I'm expecting even better this summer as they've gotten quite large and mature at this point. THANK YOU!! One question. How wide is too wide? Do I continue to allow them to grow in diameter?
make it look like an umbrella up side down ( like a bowl ) you get max sun light this way this is by the book ( people that make thier living growing peaches ) l listen to what they say
You have big place,,,I have. Aptl,,

Your pruning method is all well and good but deer start my pruning for me so I need to start my scaffolds further up. I take out any dead branches and try to keep the center open. After harvest, I bring the height of the dwarf tree down to about 7 feet. My trees tend to produce fruit every other year and I've never been able to change that. Even when I had two trees, I could not change it and I got more fruit than I could use and gave more away. My solution was to plant a Fingerlakes dwarf (S.H.) Super Hardy along with my Reliance dwarf. The Reliance bore fruit in early August and the Fingerlakes bore in early September. If they bore the same year, at least the harvest was spread out. If they bore alternate years, that was ok too.
Thanks, informative and simple instructions. Is it possible to allow fruit to grow from the second year in the ground? as others mentioned before it has spent 2-3 years in the nursery
Luai Ghazali, that might depend in part on how it was transplanted. If pulled up from nursery as a bare-root tree, I would think it needs more time to re-establish the roots. If container-grown, and the entire root-ball was placed in new location, then just guessing that it would re-establish a bit quicker. But don't quote me on that ;)
When doing a modified central leader at 6 ft, how tall does it end up overall?
when to prune it what month of the year please you make my day excellent information. thanks Sir.
I have a peach tree that isn’t doing very good, it’s maybe a year old.
When I bought it, the people who I got it from told me that they cross pollinate and that they need to be close together, well doing research on my own I realized everything they told me was wrong.
So I replanted it 40 feet away from the other one and to try to save it I put super start and fish emulsion in the hole, Then planted it.
Now I don’t know if I’m supposed to prune every branch so the tree can focus on rooting or do I just leave it alone?
Piss on it
I never pruned my 2 peach trees. They are 6 years old and huge! 18 feet tall! I want to be organic and got so many bugs in the peaches this year. I need help.
Thank you so much for this video, all the others I've seen on youtube all go the the open center design and I'm not a very big fan of that.
Thank you so much for your video
the reason behind looking like a bowl is to let sun shine to center of tree i live about 15 miles from largest peach orchard on east coast 80 acres that the way they do it
An interesting point was made in this video relating to preventing trees from fruiting in the first two years. Can anyone provide a rationale this?
This allows for the energy of the tree to go into the branches rather than the fruit as I understand it. Plus little trees won't support much fruit anyways and branches will be apt to break under the weight.
so it's best to wait 3 years before you produce peaches?
When I had my limbs growing out word they got so heavy they broke off at the tree
What time of year do I prune
I'm in Salt Lake County. When should I prune my nectarine/peach trees?
4 years ago
I just planted 2 plum & 2 cherry trees 1 week ago. They are 6 foot and have strong leaves already. They need to be shaped / trimmed - pruned. I'm getting conflicting reports on waiting till next year to do this vs doing it immediately
You should be winter pruning and summer pruning every year. Prune off dead, diseased, and damaged branches any time of y.
Thanks Kris. That was a very old post. Since then I've been doing both. Learning well in time.
My peach has developed reddish spots on the leaves, is fhis a blight and how can I treat it please ?
Piss on it
Almost nobody prunes a peach like this anymore.
Wish I had pruned my tree with this central leader. The "open center" method is a disaster because the limbs break off when loaded with fruit.
the tree I bought is 8 feet tall. it has 4 limbs. All of them go straight up! now what do I do????????
What did you end up doing and how did your results turn out?
@@jamesreardon4320 it dieded
do you prune a nectarine tree in the same way that you prune a Peach tree?
Yes
Thanks but not sure!
planting a seed will not be the same as a graft or rooting a cutting the DNA is not in the seeds its in the limbs of the peach tree so if you root a cutting of a peach it will be identacle??? to mother tree
...a little worried to eat a peach from a tree where the ground is dry and cracked, I might wither away too. IS THIS FOR REAL? DID HE STUDY GEOLOGY? I'M JUST SAYING - HOPE HE IS HELPING ON SOMEONE ELSES LAND.
Great info, but camera man wasn't that great. I'm a new grower and really need to see the detail up close. Thank you, great video!
wery bad pruning man
Thank you
