You have come a long way, Huw! Its strange how one can feel happy and proud for complete stranger that is known only from these videos. Good for you for sticking with it and appreciate allowing us to join on your journey. Onwards and upwards!
Oh Huw, you've grown so much in so many ways! I'm so glad you started these videoes and I love how this is your passion and life! I'd love to see a remake of a video about fruit trees with info about creating a guild and underplanting. Just putting it out there 💕 All of these videoes are useful too, so again thank you for your amazing channel!
I have 200 old apple trees I am rehabbing. Great, concise, video. Thanks!
Best video I've found on pruning apple trees. Thank you
Your old man really knows his stuff, some good advice in this episode. Happy New Year Huw!
Thank you so much for these easy to follow instructions! I need to tackle 3 old apple trees on our rental property, they're a mess. This video is going to help!
Happy new year everyone and what best to start off the new year with a bit of care to our fruit trees. Today my Dad is showing me and you how to prune apple trees, enjoy :)
Happy new year Huw! Great video! Always look forward to learning more!
Happy New year, you are amazing and keep up the good work. Unfortunately My apple trees has died last December. Now I have melon plants..hopefully this year I have a good luck. Your garden make me jealous lol
Great video, thank you. Interesting to see how far you've come from the editing/filming side of things. I'm just starting out, been going for 6 months so you and a couple of others, the Charles Dowdings etc are the benchmark!
Wow! Thank you, what a lovely compliment! A lot of work goes into the videos, it's really nice to hear its appreciated :)
Great episode Mr.Hews! I just put in an apple tree last year ! I don't have a ton if space so I'll be grafting a few types to it ! Thanks for sharing
your dad is very intelligent. this was very helpful.
thank you. ^-^
Great video, extremely helpful in understanding how to prune well - thanks.
Excellent review. Highly thorough and informative.
Wind problems are solved nicely with a regular disposable bandage over the camera mic , worked awesome for me... Thanks for the video!
Thanks for this video! I actually found it to be quite a challenge to find any sort of tutorial video that goes into as much detail as this!
Super helpful! Will use these tips today, love the milk antibac tool cleaning tip
Very interesting - and well done for finding a sunny time to shot it. Steven you were great! Just need to do ours now...
Very helpful, thanks to you both.
Every nice tutorial. Thank you
Thanks! Great video and very helpful.
Thanks for the video, we've inherited an apple tree and it's very thick in the middle and not open at all. So will be using your and RHS advice to get the best from it this and next year. Didn't know about the fruiting buds so will look out for them! Cheers!
great episode buddy! i really enjoyed this!

Thanks, this was really helpful.
Great video Huw.
It reminds me, some of my trees need a bit of pruning :)
Happy New Year, Huw. Your Dad's presentation was very informative. Now I can see how you got your interest in gardening.
Good video, thanks for the information.
Great info, thanks for sharing. Can you recommend a good feed for springtime please
Perfect video!
Very good and clear instructions. Unfortunately, our trees are so out of shape that I am not sure where to begin. We had so many apples on such long, downward hanging branches last year that a number of branches broke off. I will remove or shorten those, of course. Thank you for giving us some starting points.
Yes, there are few useful resources if you need to 'renovate' badly neglected trees
It's baby Huw! Lovely video.
Never knew milk could be used for that! I’m 68 but you learn something new every day! Very well presented and extremely informative...Thankyou both very much. Just one question.....when can you come and prune my trees? Lol 😉😆 best wishes to you both, do hope you are keeping safe and well during this awful Covid tine. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘🙋♀️☕️☕️
Good video!

A boyish Huw!
Very nice video! How cute are you !!
This was a great how to video, thank you so much and your Dad was great! Happy New Year!
Thanks a lot and you too! I am hoping he will be in some other pruning videos too :)
Best aple tree pruning video I have seen and I've trawled through quite a few. What time of tree stage is best to do this? When all the apples have come off? Or if they haven't by autumn then pull them off and cut back before winter?? What do you think?
Wow this is a long time ago! ❤️🇳🇿
10% milk solutions are recommended for killing funguses on plants. It requires the action of strong sunlight to alter the milk proteins to create peroxidases etc, though it never worked for me in treating powdery mildew. I guess I'd want to stick to isopropyl alcohol to sterilise my tools. But well commented video.
Can you explain the pros and cons of different ground cover in an orchard? Should there be mulch around the bases or is it ok to let the grass grow like in the video?
Ooh. This is going to be a bit more difficult for me. I have a fully established Discovery Apple tree which is about 29 years old, also I have a cooking apple tree (unsure of what type) that is also 29 years old. These trees are rather large for the UK and will probably need trimming. However we have a use for the crops as fertalizer, food and for cider. The wood is also given to a lady whom lives close to us as she has a parrot. Apple tree bark is good for parrots.
Excellent video. I learned a lot, and I thought your father was very well spoken, informative and helpful. I hope your make more videos because you really communicate information well.
Thanks for the great video! Are you going to school for horticulture?
I have two cherry trees and wonder if pruning them is similar to how you prune an apple tree? (I would guess the cherry trees have never been pruned)
Great video, thanks! Can you tell me what rootstock and roughly what age the tree is? I’ve got some young m106 rootstock trees and wondering if they have the potential to get to a similar size to that? Thanks

Hey mate you good but talk about how to control fire blight in apple trees
sir how prune red chif and jeromine apple plants make videos please teach
Link to the SAW used?
Can you prune back the apple trees with leaves still on the branches
Milk!
Who knew.
I was looking to find out when to prune.
late winter?
I see some of your buds were on the tree
🤷♀️
Prune asap! Time is running out ;)
Do you make house calls? :P
1000ft? That's one big apple tree.
What time of year should I be pruning my trees?
Late winter around February.
hi
Crazy watching a really old video like this! Also, genuine question, but why are you so out of breath when filming? Ha
In kashmir we have big problem of the rat like animals which eat the roots of apple trees..please give me suggestions to get rid of these animals
plant daffodils, chives and leeks around the drip line.
Napalm
a thousand feet?
Perhaps he was just having fun to test if we were paying attention.
Diolch
Don’t you have to put something over the “wounds” ?
Lol so young 😁😁

Did I hear that the tree would happily grow to a thousand feet high.?
I thought I heard that too. How 'bout them apples!
That stumped me too. Internet searches suggest 40 feet is as high as an apple tree will grow.
milk! really I cant use rubbing alcohol?
+Jonathan Kosyjana Of course :)
You must mean RAW, organic milk? Not pasteurized, homogenized, right?!!!
Alcohol is good but can ruin blades as it oxidizes
You dont have to prune trees. You can just bend the branches down.
Krzysztof Rudnicki
Thanks 4 that!!!
Yes I'm going to try that with my young apple trees. TH-cam channel with some good videos on the subject is Stefan Sobkowiak - The Permaculture Orchard.
Omg. U r such a cutie.
Good effort but you you shouldn’t be reaching up to pick fruit
Dude , you using milk to sanitized your pruning shears? Awful
+Pete Singh Crime of the century
ya why is that awful?
You talk too much - just prune the tree so we can see how it is done
I'm sure he will go back 8 years in time and take your advice.
Cannot understand you.
Rubbish.
You are an idiot! The video is very informative, this guy deserves respect
Wow this video is awful lol
