Nursery Field Tour

Tom Spellman and Phil Pursel stop by our Red Rock Ranch growing grounds and monitor tree growth throughout the summer. Checks are made in July, September and November and growing techniques are discussed.

I’ve watched so many of your videos and they never disappoint. This one though, is wonderful and the time and effort is notable. Thank you so much for sharing so freely.

Just planted..2 months ago, four Wilson fruit

Hell yes! A new DWN video with that cheesy "DELICIOUS" opening. Love these videos.

I like low grafts because they make it simple to grow a lower plant in a container.

I still need to add a stone-fruit to my collection one of these years. But I'd like to be able to multi-graft it, and I know I can't graft patented varieties...

Really a fantastic video showing the timeline of a few short months and explaining why you guys do what you do to these trees.

Really a fantastic video showing the timeline of just a few short months and the results too, while explaining the why of it as well.

I knew the steps...but seeing it in action is even better! Thanks.

[gardentips]

Holy crap he's grafting those buds fast haha

[АлександрЗарицкий]

Очень интересно, мы подвязываем отрастающие побеги к деревянному или железному колышку. Такой вариант вижу впервые.
Very interestingly, we tie the growing shoots to a wooden or iron peg. This option I see for the first time

Great video. Thank you so much for all your wonderful tips and info. I have at least 60 of your trees here in central Florida.

Nice video and beautiful trees. All the tree are in good health and their growth is wonderful. Can you please show the start of these trees how you grow them. Do you use seeds or cuttings? How do you collect those seeds or cuttings? Which process do they go through and how they are looked after. I feel without that kind of information, your video of growing these fruit trees, will not be complete. Surely your trees are the best. Please keep on good work and share it with all those who are following you.

i wish you would show how to make the cuts in bud grafting. the workers do this so fast its hard to follow

[sphinxceo]

Looks amazing! Do you have a video on keeping wild life away? Thx.

[ajones]

I like the grow straights I'm stealing that..thanks

[Bushcraftnarrate]

It seems a very big farm, but why there is no irrigation system, no need watering?

[MultiEldridge]

What happens if you plant a pluerry sweet treat seed?

[PebblesandDashthegoofycats]

Tom, love your work great video. Just have a quick question regarding fertilizing plants. I have seven different varieties of blueberry growing well with a few with the tell tale signs of nitrogen deficiency. In Australia we have just finished summer and we are into the first month of autumn would it be better to let the trees go dormant and fertilize at the start of spring or do it now to correct the issue. I'm only worried if i do it now the trees will not go dormant. Thanks

what happened to your Stetson hat? Love the camo hat too. and vest, any for sale?

[alinaspencil]

Tom, I'm enjoying your videos and learning a lot! Could you please do an apple pruning video? Is it true they fruit on only the 2 yr+ wood? If so, how do you do yearly pruning, without losing fruiting potential, yet keeping a very small tree?

[gabeolson-jensen]

Where can I get the grow straights from? Right now I’m using bud clips
