Your nursery is the best, out of the all nurseries i have ordered from your plants have been the healthiest thank you, all my trees will be ordered from you
Like the video. When I was a child there was this peach tree that had curly leaf. My step father cut it down a few times. Then one day I saw it growing and I saw it had some branches that were dead around the step. I blessed the tree by pruning those branches and I saw later that the tree was growing. That poor little peach tree grew better and was bearing fruit that year. I felt that the peach tree was strugleing and I blessed it and it grew. It was a heart warming experience and I have been into caring for fruit trees ever since. I now am grown up and I have tons of fruit trees and pine trees. I bless those trees with my care and they reward me with fruit and the majestic nature of my pine trees I love so much.
That was a very helpful and informative demonstration. I'd always been told to mix compost into the planting hole so thanks for correcting the misinformation. Thank you for taking the time to show how it's done.
Thank you Mr. Gilbert. I appreciated your effort and sharing educational information. Greetings from Turkey. Dear Andy Nguyen, If you will water after planting no need soak the roots. Good luck.
great video, thank you for the information! is soaking the root necessary before planting? also, for pears, how long will it take until it sprout new growth? much thanks!! - Andy/California.
Between 5-7 US Gallons per week the first year, rootstock selection in your microclimate is something worth researching, ask some other local growers what works best for them,
I'm not sure if the ground where a privet hedge/bush is grown needs permission to be dug. Privet bushes do not have any regulations regarding their digging up. John.
Before pruning... I make sure the cutting blades get a good cleaning & even a swipe of disinfectant ... don’t put old, possibly diseased material onto your newly raw (from the cut) roots & branches... I cross contaminated years ago... will NOT make that costly mistake again !
Don't prune after planting. the tree is already stressed from the planting now your stressing it even more. Corrective pruning cuts are fine but dont prune just to prune.
Great video until the balancing/pruning part. That is OLD advice. This is what I know- The first pruning. When you first plant a tree, the only pruning necessary is that which removes broken, dead or diseased branches, and root suckers. Although recommendations in the past suggested pruning to balance the crown with the root system, research shows that this is not a wise practice. Any removal of branches other than those mentioned above will slow establishment. Branches store food reserves, and leaves are the site of photosynthesis. Thus, removing them eliminates resources the tree needs to grow a healthy root system and establish itself quickly.

Wonderful story!!

I really enjoyed this video; thanks for sharing it with us : )
Very informative video. Thanks for the tips.
Root cutting is good or bad pls clear me sir
Thank you very much for the very helpful information!

May I ask, how come you didnt use a stake and a rubber stake band? I am new to growing trees. Great video,, very helpful.
+Colin Hanmer Staking can make a tree less able to stand without support and if supported more prone to injury. Staking can be like a crutch.
probably for the same reason he didn't add any root grow fertilizer, he is unconventional.
the roots don't look as if they've been soaked...they look very dry
Very helpful information as I have a Bing Cherry Tree to plant.
How is your Bing cherry tree doing 2 years later? I just bought 1 Bing cherry tree and 1 Stella cherry tree. Thanks
How often do you need to water a tree planted in bareroot?

You must get permission before you start digging up privet ground yes?

I wish I had nice hair like that!

Super
Yeah, I was screaming, 'Cover up the roots before you dig the whole!'
I typically keep the roots submerged in a bucket of water the entire time as I’m preparing the planting hole, moist roots are healthy roots to plant.
Dude, why not combine with Hugelkultur technique to conserve water and add time release nutrients that works for 20+ years?
The tree must be small, not as large as the tree, usually these trees grow, but the yield is nil .

You don’t need to tell us how to dig a hole
