Qing Peng he would cut a heavy flowered branch off a different variety of cherry, place it in a bucket of water and set the bucket under the tree he wanted to pollinate. His outside rows usually, because there were only cherry trees on 3 sides and the outside sometimes just did not have the density of fruit the others had.

When planting fruit trees don't expect fruit for 5 years. You'll get a couple before the 5 year mark. 1st year in ground, tree should flower and fruit a little if planted in spring( plant is establishingitselfin new home, 2nd year, tree focuses on rooting so you don't get many fruit( sometimes no fruit) 3rd year tree focuses on stretching out to find more light, 4th year tree will be flourishing and looking great but you still might get alot of fruit but by the 5th year, mostly all fruit trees will have an abundance of food. Be patient and garden with love. Keep it organic and don't think to hard. Think natural and guid the plant life to flourish

I learned so much on details I hadn't heard before, especially "same species and/but different cultivars/varieties". This made sense along the scope of diversity. I liked the observation you pointed out regarding king blossoms and the others availing to full flowerage later to maximize a possibility for pollination.

When it was too cold one year and no bees out I started pollinating the flowers myself. I loved doing it. Took some time but it was worth it. There was more than you can handle when harvest time came.

I'm going to add a fifth very common reason why fruit trees don't produce here in the Deep South (South Georgia for me). Sometimes you just don't get enough chilling hours (temps between 32F and 45F) during the dormant season for the variety. I grow pear and plum trees. I've had to top work many of the varieties I've tried simply because we don't get enough chilling hours for them.

I got a little scared this year because there was a cold snap for a week. Luckily I don’t think it hurt my fruit trees.

I have an apricot that only makes about a dozen blossoms per year. I do prune the tree by making a flat top on it and thinning out the branches. I don't clip the fruiting spurs because I figure they will die off on their own and then get replaced. Maybe a blight is killing the blossoms.

Loved the ending, its nice to see somebody else do the exact same thing when having tongue-in-cheek, or when the pronunciation just wont.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about fruit trees. I have a few fruit trees and have always wondered why they had fruit or didn't have much fruit from year to year. Thanks.

Years ago, in my area (East Tennessee), there were so many bees that around my fruit trees there was so much buzzing that it sounded like electric motors running. Now, because of Colony Collapse Disorder, things are almost dead quiet. I see very few honeybees anymore. Walking around 12 trees mid afternoon last year when it was about 70F, I only counted about 20 bees. This year so far has been no better and it's very sad to see.

A really good technique to pollinate in your plants is to play EXTREMELY Loud music to them preferably classical with high octave notes this vibrates the pollen and helps pollinate flowers that have have the ability to pollinate themselves on the same flower. Failing that you could get a couple of Q-Tips or earbuds depending on where you are and collect the pollen from other apple trees close or miles away and use those same Q-Tips to to rub over your flowers.

Blackberries produce fruit on last years shoots. You only want to trim the shoots that have already produced fruit.

Several years back I helped my grandmother with some of her yard work after a hurricane. She mentioned she had this old satsuma tree she would probably want cut down if I had the time. Said she planted it, and another one about 20-30 years ago. Only for the second one to die a few years later to nemotoads? Something like that ate the roots and the tree baked. Said she would probably want it cut down since it never fruited for her. I trimmed the tree up pretty good, clearly needed it, I than fertilized the tree the next time I came. Every few months I would fertilize the tree, figured I might as well give her a chance to change her mind. Oddly enough the tree fruited the very next year, she was shocked, I hadn't expected it without the second tree since she mentioned it. I know how some trees are not self fruiting, either way it fruited. Our soil is pretty poor, mostly sand, and very compact clay, really no organic matter too it here, too close to the coast. I think the tree needed the prone but I do believe it was the fertilizer which helped it produce the next year. It may help others in a similar circumstance as well.

So very helpful. Thank you!

Hi! I just discovered your channel and find it fascinating. I do have a problem with one of my fruit trees. I am new to gardening and have a three year old dwarf cherry tree with leaves that tend to fold. It is planted in a place that used to have a maple tree in it. The maple tree died. I was able to get the stump out but, still had a lot of very hard underground root system there and I suspect the cherry tree roots are having a hard time finding their way around them. Is there a way to mitigate the issue without digging up the cherry tree and moving him elsewhere? Sadly I don't have anywhere else to put it. Otherwise, he seems pretty healthy. He still grows - if a bit more slowly than my apple trees do and he even got flowers this year. Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

Great insights here, particularly about bees or their absence, and ditto to all the comments below about suitable cross-pollinators flowering at more or less the same time, as well as self-fertile varieties e.g. of cherries and apricots. One thing worth bearing in mind in order not to be intimidated by horticultural jargon: "Culti-var" is an artificial word made up from two - "cultivated" and "variety", so it just means a variety (i.e. of a species) in cultivation, as distinct from something found in the wild.

@StefanSobkowiak

Well Tom if you want to get technical there is a difference between a cultivar and a variety. I get my definition from Michael Dirr (Manual of landscape woody plants). He defines variety as 'a plant that varies from the species in one or more traits that are visible or invisible (like hardiness) and that can be reproduced by seed'. While a cultivar you are correct is a cultivated variety and he defines it as 'a plant that varies from the species in one or more traits that are visible or invisible and that can ONLY BE REPRODUCED with those traits VEGETATIVELY' (ie, cuttings, graft,...). Since almost all our fruit trees can only be reproduced vegetatively they are cultivars. Hey I'm ok with people calling them varieties I just prefer to be correct for those in the know.

@@StefanSobkowiak Thanks, Stefan, for that nuance. My point was essentially etymological rather than technical.

Interesting. Even in fruits, you need to trees to be able to produce them

And the sixth reason is the variety you may have planted will not cross-pollinate with the ones you already have. This is critical in a small orchard like mine. I have 4 apples, 3pears, 6 cherries, 3 plums, 2 nectarines, 2 peaches, 2 Asian pears, and a partridge in a pear tree! Oh, and a Robinson crabapple to assist in pollination! And the trees are supposed to be dwarf and are planted on 13 foot centers. I get fruit from the apples, pears, Asian pears and one cherry, so far. The orchard is 13 years old.

The pollen doesn't necessarily need to be from the same species. When our fruit trees were flowering without enough bees and insects around, I've used flower and spruce pollen to (over) pollenate them. I blow the pollen all over the fruit trees using a leaf blower, introducing the pollen into the intake of the leaf blower. It works amazingly!
