Gary gives us mere mortals the fortitude to make the necessary big wood cuts. Sharing of knowledge is very important and we're lucky to have these videos.
Thank you for your videos. I've looked around and your approach and techniques are the best I find. I just did my 5 year old peach and pear tree today, and feel comfortable I did it right. I hope you're still tuning in to your videos to answer questions, I have a couple. One on pruning, one on spraying, but if not, I could likely find input elsewhere. Hope you're well regardless.
I really appreciate your videos. I broke my arm 3 years ago and was not able to prune any of my fruit trees until this year, 14 trees. They were so over grown and I was, frankly, scared to prune too much. After watching several of your videos I got out the tools and went for it. Now that the rains have come and they are beginning to bloom I am over joyed to see the results (weren't I killed them). Thanks I will keep watching ~Hippie Chick~
@@GaryHeilig Yes sir! I'd like to hear the reasoning behind the different types of cuts on fruit trees explained from your professional point of view. For me, it helps to understand the science behind gardening.
You sir have a lot of patience with your trees. I spent almost two hours thinning peaches 4 days ago. I have apple trees but for some reason they're four years old they haven't produced anything yet they are 21 inches apart and they're young trees but they take so long to produce. They are dwarf trees Granny Smith Honeycrisp and Fuji
I’ve got a 2 year old Packham pear and all the branches are just growing straight up like rockets. I’ve tied a couple and pulled them down towards the horizontal - if I didn’t it would be just a column! No flower buds yet obviously, but it’s a really healthy little tree, now going through some major discomfort! Very interesting, well explained video.
My pear trees are loaded with fruit Spurs this year, making it difficult to prune. I just couldn’t talk myself into removing all those fruiting branches. Next year, I will!
Sometimes spur type trees will produce too many fruiting spurs which will result in smaller fruit and delayed ripening. With apples, too much fruit one year will result in very small or no crop the next year. This is called biennial bearing. So thin those branches out and you may still have to remove extra spurs.
I'm living in MN ( zone 4 B ). I got some Asian pear trees. I watched a lot of clips about pruning . I'm confusing about that. What's different between summer pruning and winter pruning ? which one for more fruit and which one for shape. I have some Asian pear. Central leader or vase which shape is the best for them ?
In my little pruning business I am pleased to say I have some regular customers. I recently pruned a four variety pear for the fourth year running. It is my challenge tree. A customer owns it. And some pear rules can't be observed because of the multiple spp. Have you any thoughts? How far apart should I ask them to thin the pears? Thanks for another good video. I enjoy the credits.
When you have multiple species, it is more difficult to prune, especially while the tree is young. You need to also be aware of how much each species section is growing. When thinning fruits should be spaced about 4" apart. Any closer and ultimate fruit size and ripening date will be affected.

This is the best video I have seen for pruning. Thank you so much for this! I have more confidence now to prune mine.
I have a tree this exact age that has never been pruned, very informative, thank you
I like his judicious use of leaving certain fruit-bearing branches.

Thank you so much - perfect video and just what I needed for a very overgrown pear tree. God bless you!
You are very welcome. Be at peace.
Thank you sir for making this video this was very helpful for the DIY
Excellent job
Hello, thank you! Your a great teacher. I'm always nervous about the timing of spraying and the do's and don'ts. Do you have a video on this?
Thank you so much for this informative video! I'd love to see an even more in depth one if you ever get the inclination.
I have quite a few videos on pruning fruit trees for you yo check out. Is there any particular point you would like to hear more about?

Love your pruning videos. Can you please also show ways to spread the branches to good angles?
Thank you! Good instruction in this video!
Very informative. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video good sir! Me and my tree's thank you 😊

You are welcome

Me thinking: He ought to use loppers for that...
Two seconds later
"I should use the loppers for this."

Thanks that really helped
Would you try and graft those limbs or root alone?
Are you doing this in the spring ?

Can you replant any of the cuttings ?
No, pars are not propagated that way
HOW so you know a fruiting bud?
