Excellent video! useful information in a short video with NO nonsense talk absolutely brilliant. I am about to design and plant my fruit tree here in east kent in a small and clay garden but will give it a try anyway. It will be difficult to take off the flowers first year but needs to be done. Hope to see more of your videos, thank you!
Thank you. I do ufo training on my cherries. Have wild choke cherries and pin cherries for root stocks. I am central U.P. of MI. Trying to graft pears to the wild service berries. I got a cherry plum growing for root stocks too. I use mm 111 and m 25 for apples. I also got a crab apple root stock from cold part of lake MI at roadside park. I call m 25 xl size usually. I like ugly heirloom triploid apples.
What are your thoughts on half height apple trees on M25 rootstock? Sandy loam, private orchard. And how should I prune these young trees to become strong but not 8m high?
Follow our narrow canopy strategy and feeding protocols to avoid excess nitrogenous growth and this will restrict the height. Also summer prune. see our relevant videos on TH-cam and Instagram!
Like most things these days way Arden than buying some trees and planting them. We have just planted our first 3-fruit trees this past summer and I knew none of this! I just figured a red delicious tree had red delicious roots. Oh my what now?
That is small place for so many trees. Man, I would love to do same but it's hard to keep them all in that tight place
fantastic job, keep the information coming. Your doing a great job imparting good knowledge to everyone in short memorable bursts. Thank you.
Much appreciated! Thank you
Thank you. I now realise I have to rethink my plans. I bought our trees without giving this enough thought or planning.
Thank you for great information. We've just moved to a new property and looking to plant many fruit trees. This video has been very helpful 🌱🌳
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou. Good luck with your new planting.
Fantastic! Wonderful presentation and useful details. Thank you!

Great to hear of the rootstocks you use. Wild rootstocks must be very cold hardy I expect?
Very good useful knowledge information
this is awesome!
Thankyou
That is super tight for trees. I have my blackberries spaced further.
Thx for video!
Our pleasure!
Great video!!! How do you prevents birds from eating the fruits?
We dont have that problem here. There are alot of pest predators flying around including Hawks and Kestrels

Can you figure out what exactly you bought? Maybe you got it right by chance.
