I'm on the west coast and I'll just say Mr Dave Wilson has it going on with his fruit trees...my 2 blueberries from his nursery produce wonderfully, and I have a dozen plants from different ones.

My 2 year old food garden is based completely on everything I’ve learned from you!! 💕

I don’t even understand why someone would dislike this! There’s no reason to dislike it!

I imagine James when he's in his sixties still coming into the videos with just as much energy and pep. Keep going, so that I may see this!

I had something similar happen to me this season. I let my young satsuma overproduce last year, which bit me this year, because now it is going through an alternate bearing year where it only put fruit on half the tree. Thinning fruit trees is a really important practice. If you don’t do it, you’ll pay for it later.

Good tips. My biggest frustration is the pests. I don't like using toxic, cancer causing chemicals on my food. So all of my fruit will have issues. I just cut the bad section out and use the rest. It is apparent to me that we have more pests every year, and more diseases. I'm from the old country. We never sprayed our fruit and it was all perfect. But, we didn't grow any of the commercial varieties. Our fruit came from seeds and was very unique and very tough. When man tries to improve on nature, we have problems...every time.

When I Purchased my first cherry tree I had no idea why I was doing..
I bought a sour cherry on a a normal root stock.. 😂 I rent and have a tiny garden! So I kept it in a pot for 3 years
This year I bought a Victoria Plum on a pixy rootstock. They do really well where I live and I love a sweet sour plum! So second time I did my research.

Took a page from your playbook and dropped 10 yards of mulch on the S. side of my house; picking fruit trees right now. Thanks buddy!

I live in New Jersey and after watching your videos I am inspired by you to start growing fruit trees. I have 2 apple trees, grape vines and today I bought Japanese plum, combo cherry and peach. I hope one day you can visit and let me know what I can do to improve my garden. God blessings always!

I'm a a major newbie to backyard orchards and I cannot tell you how overwhelming it can seem with all of the books and videos. Your one video here was the BEST free information I've learned!! Now i'm going home after work to make sure the apple tree and peach tree I bought is disease resistant and actually what I planted. hahaha

What a great video for someone who is barely starting to learn about fruit trees I inherited when I bought my house. TNX

[Gkrissy]

I am glad he shared his mistakes for us to learn from. I love how Tuck is fighting him and playing with him. It’s funny because I just planted a Santa Rosa tree but I actually love plums and they should do well in my southern hot /humid climate.

I have about 14 trees in my yard that I need to get in check. This post has helped me so much. Thank you from Clearwater florida.

This is why you have to look at different garden people and get an idea what they’re really talking about, and so far you have proven you’re the best good job

[bloussant]

So quality over quantity brings in the juiciest harvest. Great advice.
