In Romania it is said that the greatest wealth of a man is his children and family.... So you are a rich man .... Thank you for the vlogs which I follow with love! I salute you with respect Adrian
Thank you! Stefan’s work was defo a big inspiration for sure. Though next time I wouldn’t add as many N trees in the rows ( I think we put in more than even Stefan was trying) as they take up quite a bit of space and the autumn olive isn’t as productive (berries) as we hoped.
Love your trees! I also love my trees, all 18 of them although in my small back garden it doesn't leave much room for veggies. I have 4 plums 2 peaches, 1 nectarine, 2 apples, 1 asian pear, 2 lemon, 1 lime, 1 pineapple guava, 1 huge (15 ft.) elderberry, an almond, an apricot, and a bay. Some of the trees were started from seed or cutting and 1 of the peaches was a graft of a specia peach onto a plum. I would like to have some hazels, but I'm not sure where I'd put them. Should have started younger and on a bigger piece of property, I think.
Lovely video thanks. I was interested to see you have a medlar growing there up in Aberdeenshire. I was just wondering yesterday if I could grow one here in the NE of England. I guess the answer is yes!
Did you guys ever get those hardy pears to grow/produce where you are? I saw you managed to grow some cherry tomatoes outside. Do you think you'd be able to grow things like peaches, apricots and figs under cover in NE Scotland? Thanks so much! 🌿
I just ordered 50 black locust seedlings from the Oklahoma Department of agriculture. It happens to be one of our recommended trees and I’m excited to get them planted out this winter, along with some junipers for wind break and pines for a shelter belt close to our pond. Your apples look delicious. Good to hear from you.
At 0:08, that looks just like kumquat. Don't tell me that's a kumquat tree! If it is that is Amazing! Either way whatever fruit tree it is it looks good.
Are you going to coppice your hazels? If so, when do you make the first cut, ie, does the sapling have to grow for the first year then you coppice it? Or do you have to let it grow for longer before the first cut?
We won’t be coppicing the hazels seen in this video as they are for nut production and coppicing would set that back. We do have a larger area of hazel destined to be used as a food fuel coppice that we planted in 2019 which are growing very well. In my opinion I would certainly wait until the tree is several years old before making the first ground level cut. Even with fast growing species like willow we cut to promote a dense resprout 1 to 2 years after planting the rod. With our hazel we are waiting around 4 or 5 years to make the first cut, that way we also get some usable fire wood from the standard tree.
There’s always a ‘rubbish’ fire wood story. It makes great kindling, not sure about fire wood. However I find that even the wet woods such as alder and willow are still flammable and beggars can’t be choosers.
Thanks for taking time to share your beautiful work as always! You are sowing seeds all over Scotland and the world!
Thanks Suzie!
Beautiful to see your work! Much love
Thanks for watching!

Thank you, you too!
It’s always good to hear about what’s happening at Tap o’ Noth. Thanks for the update😊
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing the varieties wry helpful I’m in a similar growing zone
An Aberdeenshire take on Stefan Sobkowiak’s trio system? Looks fantastic.

Thank you and great to hear about your wonderful trees too!
So helpful to see your planting principle - do you add grown cover crops below the fruit trees as well - comfrey, strawberries..?

Yes, I reckon it will. Thanks for watching!

Amazing! Thanks so much for watching.
Where are you? We need an update! ❤
We're here, I'm sure we'll make some more videos soon!
@@TapoNothFarm Hope that everything is OK with you guys! Can't hardly wait for new content from you.

I wish it was! That is Sea Buckthorn fruits.
Beautiful tree rows! How big is spacing beetwen each row?
Thanks! Around 8 to 16 meters.

How long do you grow the black locust for firewood? I'd love to see how you manage your firewood.
We currently don’t use black locust as fire wood as they are young trees and the one in the video is for N fixing, so we prune it.
Do you have coddling moth in your area? They hammer my apple trees. How do you prevent them getting your apples, if you have them?
Great video. What root stock are the fruit trees on?
Thanks! They are mostly mm106 but we have some on m26 and have grafted some m25 for some big trees!
I love Katy apples , but I didn't water my tree one dry summer and the ENTIRE crop was ruined by bitter pit .
I have heard that autumn olive makes rubbish firewood.
