This guy is great. If Kevin at epic gardening endorses this guy and he obviously has great content, why not 500k subscribers here? Such a natural teacher. Good luck for the future Bud.

as a certified arborist of 34 years your tree cuts look spot on.

Finished my winter pruning a couple weeks ago. I'll say that this is all great advice. Pruning is definitely something you learn a lot by experience.

Nice video, Cameron. All great points. I always tell people that the fear really *does* go away. 😊 A little experience, and it's obvious how resilient fruit trees are and also how much they benefit from regular pruning!

[WebWondersUS]

Most concise and helpful video on an intimidating garden chore. Excellent!

Thanks for the amazing information. I especially appreciated the close up for the outward facing bud.

I’ve watched lots of pruning videos and you by far give the best advice. Thank you.

Great videos Cameron! Like your "regular" backyard gardener/orchard culture approach and tips. Ever think of doing a video on cleaning and sharping of your pruning tools? Would be very informative!

[ericarose]

yaaaay, so glad I found you! I used to work for the Ingram family, up here in SB, I've heard so much about you! Super excited to listen to all your wisdom here and get to know you better. Have a great week!

Very nicely done video for beginners. Thank you.

You are right about fears of pruning. I deal with that fear by being informed. I ask and identify what I'm not sure about, and then when I know, I'm ready. Fear removed by knowledge gives you the confidence of success. And you have to do it because a mistake done is better than not ever doing anything to the tree. I love my trees too much.

RE: Waiting too long to prune. Because of such heavy disease pressure on our always moist coast in zone 9B, we need to wait for all the stone fruit to come out of dormancy before pruning. This gives the tree a chance to actively seal pruning wounds against disease. I like to wait until bloom is over so the bees are the happiest. It's still hard, especially if there is forming fruit and there's not a big window to get the job done. Great video! I send my landscaping clients over to watch you.

That was so helpful and educational, thank you.

Letting disease in is the scariest part for me. It's really wet in Oregon, and we are organic. Timing is everything here!

Thanks, forever in dept for your priceless advice on pruning.
