MORE ABOUT ME

I'm Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable."

I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break and build the things I need.

8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.

My goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing my peers how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what can be done TODAY to engage their own community and grow deep roots.

Whether it's carving spoons, making my own hand tools, restoring my antique truck or growing heirloom tomatoes, the farm and workshop definitely keep me busy and support - whether financially through Patreon, through shopping my affiliate links, through buying merchandise, plans or project videos, or even just liking, commenting, and sharing my content with others helps me GREATLY to keep producing quality content to share.

He is so skilled and well articulated, I'm blown away! And for free? Heck yeah! Content like this is extraordinary but rare. Much appreciation to both of you for adding value on a platform like this and making it easily accessible to others!

We grow peaches commercially and everything he has stated and demonstrated is true. A very informative video for those who have questions or don't know.

[dudeusmaximus]

Taught myself how to prune years ago by downloading and reading every extension office publication I could find, and by darn I've mostly been doing it right. Thanks for the instructionals..

My dad said a whole dead chicken was by far the best fertilizer he ever tried for his fruit trees. He said a dead fish and a dead cat(natural causes) did little but the chicken fed cherry tree went crazy with growth.

I'm so glad you made a followup! The original was the first video of yours' that I ever saw, suggested to me because I had been watching videos about tree care. More recently, I discovered Daniel's own channel independently, but for the same reason. Looking forward to the videos on planting and root collar maintenance!

Daniel and you, Anne, should be very proud to know that following your previous video i immediately went out and removed any labels remaining on my trees. You both have done a great public service to my little garden

[zanecrofts]

You can store parts those branches as scion wood to graft onto rootstocks.

Also as an arborist myself I encourage people not be afraid large growing rootstocks you can just prune them keep them under control and they have better bigger root systems.

Important thing is rootstocks match your soil type

I love this collaboration you guys have. He brings the technical knowledge expressed in a simple way, and you bring the common questions and thought process many people who are learning would have which is a great combination. And you both love what you are doing :)

For some reason I can watch videos or read about pruning trees and once I'm out in the field, I look at my tree, pruners in hand, branches everywhere and I'm like whaaat... am I doing? I think I have a tree pruning learning disability.

So I watched y’all the first time he pruned I have a 20 cheer year old Asian pair that is abundance but it was getting too hard for me to harvest. They were so high so I this of winter I had a young man come and do a hard hard pruning on it, and every lamb was trimmed at a 45 so make sure I did see that on 45° angle and now the spring is coming the blooms are coming it’s looking good it doesn’t make me feel so bad because it was like a butcher so I feel like I will get fruit this year last year. We got 300 pounds and so I’m happy it looks good. The tree looks happy, I usually harvest in the end of July to August so we shall see but right now white flowers are all over the place and it starts to look lovely. Thanks for having him there.🌱🌱🍐

[Gkrissy]

I am glad that you did the follow-up for this video. It is very helpful to learn the foundamentals because I have young fruit trees.

[Chrysaphius_Gaming]

Hi Anne I hope your doing well and your hand has healed nicely!!

[clifc]

So Much Great information. The March/April winds are coming; and Ive been eying my Cherry Tree this winter thinking, I gotta trim up this tree right now! And you've posted this wonderful video. Thank You for the reinforcement of my madness. The Neighbors are gonna say "Look at that crazy guy trimming his tree in the winter!"

[stephen]

the anvil side of your pruner will harm the bark so put it to the outside of the cut. Good video.

[heidiwheeler]

"this is literally my whole fruit tree... but okay, it's good, it's fine.." bahahaha!!! I would have DIED! I wonder if you can graft that onto rootstock and have another mature peach tree LOL

[amos]

This is amazing! I’d love to see him do a columnar fruit tree if possible as well. Small yard so I’ve got two columnar apples and a dwarf peach 🍑

[teresehummel]

Watching this for the fourth time and still gleaning lots of good stuff. Thank you!!

[AltaFencing]

Thank I have watched numerous video on how to prune a fruit tree and learned nothing. The doing while videoing was hugely helpful and having a lay person either reiterate or ask for clarification was an additional useful method to convey information.

[VanessasVarietyVenue]

I am a new subscriber and i just bought several fruit tree and was concerned about the growth so thanks this helps alot

Fix for fogging glasses: I know this sounds crude, but it works. I learned from scuba class where you cannot have your mask fog up that if you spit and rub it around the glass and lightly rinse you'll reduce fogging.
