Very interesting video. From this one and a previous years edition I learned a lot about pruning apple trees. Nice that you have three different ones to show as they grow a bit differently and need different treatment. Thanks and I'm waiting for 2023 edition!
Very nice demonstration. I am a newbie and I'm growing my apple trees ( dwarf bare roots) in 20 gallon pots. I have a question about fruit buds. How do you induce fruit buds? Do they appear on more horizontal types of branches? Also, what do you recommend for compost , and fertilizer for apple trees in pots ( don't plan on putting in the ground). Thanks
My apple trees started producing in year 2, so haven't needed to induce them, and probably wouldn't. They generally start producing year 2 or 3. The fruit buds do grow on horizontal branches, you'll recognize them in late winter/early spring by being short, and plump (vegetative buds will be much skinnier). First I mix Iron Tone with some blood meal which'll make it a balanced fertilizer, then I top the soil back up with worm castings, and shredded bark, which'll also be mulch. I hope it helps!
Very informative video! I have been watching some of your Nursery videos (along with your rock hounding videos) and find them very well made and educational. Is Nursery/gardening work your vocation? Oregon or Washington? Just curious. I look forward to viewing the rest of your past videos, along with your future ones. Subscribed!
That's the best compliment I could ask for, and truly appreciate it! I'm in WA state, and am hoping to make nursery work (probably along with YT) my full time job at some point. If the housing market wasn't as crazy as it is I would've upscaled already, lol. Thank you for the comment, and your viewership! :)
They are roughly +/- 66 cm or 26 inches around (measurements taken from a regular wooden whiskey barrel, which are a similar size). Dankjewel voor het bekijken! 😄
why didn't you just pinch off young unwanted laterals when they first started in summer? would have healed fast & energy would have gone into desired branch.
Great information love from Kashmir

I don't feel the need, I prefer to let it all grow in summer and prune it in winter.
@@DutchmansNursery Maybe you "feel" that way, but this was supposed to be an educational mentoring video on the presumably best way to do something.
@@Pay-It_Forward This is how I do it. Feel free to do it differently.
Excellent 🎉🎉🎉 I subscribed to your channel 🙏
Thank you very much!
@@DutchmansNursery you're welcome 😁
