Tom Spellman....the man....the Legend. Delicious!
legend has it dave sleeps with his shades on
Incredible vid, Charles! I love the long form when it comes to these fruit trees. So much added detail and info comes out through the natural conversation. Tom is an absolute treasure.
That's true that zones set for many fruit trees are too conservative and possibly inhibitory to northern growers. I've been growing fruit trees in containers over winter, testing their degree of resilience to Michigan winter zone 5, and found many are fine outdoors with moderate wind chill protection. What I do - since they're in containers - is roll them into a bumper to bumper 'grove' from their summer location, thread those plastic pillow boas they use in packing material around their bases and then drape black landscape cloth in another boa across their soils and then leave them in full sun (with trunk protection) all winter long. Because we have deer and bears, they're looped together in 2x4 hole fencing, and trunks wrapped in paper or painted against rodents (next to a wetlands on one side, and poorly maintained chicken coop next door, we have an abundance of mice around here), and of course against winter sun scald. According to THIS OLD HOUSE, pipe freezing isn't so much temperature dependent as it is drafts and windchill. We see it over lakes where the top freezes but the stillwater underneath doesn't. It's also why watering fruit trees in a freeze actually helps save spur wood. When drafts blow over a copper pipe behind the wall, a crystal starts inside the pipe from wind chill, it grows exponentially throughout within minutes. The soft copper can take it, expanding as needed, but the pressure from the ice dam to the closed faucet increases as much as 20,000 psi, which is just too much for poor little copper pipe to accommodate. In the garden, if dead space is created (still ventilated), even if temps drop, geo helps keep the soil from freezing solid which is why packing boas work. The soil becomes plastic, and maybe even crispy, tho not block solid, and that appears to be true for my zones 7-8 trees in containers even here in zone 5. When there's unseasonable warmth, and threatens premature bud break, I throw shade cloth over them to cool them down, lest they suffer in the inevitable freezing coming later. If bud break is too fast, I flip the container trees sideways and shovel snow over them for insulation and a constant temp of 32F until the heat wave passes. To stop the rodent happy dance, I wrap the branches in landscape cloth to reduce their access from tunnels under snow. When winter becomes winter again, I flip them upright again and let snowfall insulate them. Granted, it's a little fussy but it works. To dwarf non-dwarf fruit trees, I pair them with their pollinator as very young saplings and espalier them together into an inverted cone. Together, they make a manageable, espalier 'vase', with center light access for both trees on the espalier back side. If one tree is sun-neglected, I turn the container so that espalier interior side is facing S/SW. Frankly, I love growing fruit and nut trees in containers, just for the science of it.
Another great video and your daughter did a great job holding that camera! Such a great way to spend quality time with your daughter doing what you're passionate about and I'm sure Isabelle feels the same way, otherwise she wouldn't be traveling with you!
thanks for this update! I always look for more videos with Tom Spellman and the backyard orchard project.

This was a great update it was finally good to hear Tom talk about how he waters the backyard orchard but I still haven't heard him say anything on how he fertilizes or sprays for pest and disease can yall touch on this please on next backyard orchard update thanks for these videos Charles they really help me to do a better job with my trees. Its like a books worth of knowledge in each video thanks for your passion and desire to teach others, Avery

Thanks for creating such a good video. Very useful 👍👍 but the main credit goes to Bella, such a cute kid holding camera for more than an hour. Thanks Bella 🙂😊
The ultimate collaboration
One thing I noticed with this style of pruning and growing the new foliage really adds protection to the fruit
Fabulous ideas. I want some of those trees.
Thank you!
Love these videos with Tom Spellman--so informative! Do you know if the espalier trees are on semi-dwarfing rootstock?
Good info. Great tanks from 🇳🇱
You are awesome at what you do. Thank you for your help. I live in a mobile home park and have limited space and love to plant and have fruit trees. I thought I needed to buy dwarf fruit trees, so I could get more different types for small yard. Now I know I can buy a tree and just prune it to the size I want. I made a little compost area with an old plastic pet gates. I put leaves from the yard and kitchen veggie scraps and shredded paper. Do you have a video for backyard compost how to and when you can use it? I'm guessing at this point. I subscribed to you. Looking forward in watching more of your videos.
It’s awesome... I am doing the same in the desert.. only on pots... love it.. thank you fir sharing..

Best
impressive, especially the tri variety tree (apricot,aprium) to Dave Wilson Nursery.. can you pls. provide link to your non-gmo, organic varieties?
Thanks for sharing this video, How much water should we give fruit trees like apples and peaches at the end of September to encourage them to go dormant in Southern California? And do we need to water them in the winter months? What about apple and peaches in containers? How much should we reduce their water to make them dormant and do we need water container trees when they are dormant ?
Is the reason behind the post and wire system to help support fruiting branches during high winds?
Thank you for these videos! In a backyard setup, how should we space fruit trees? I have a lime, orange, littlecado avocado, guava and I have spaced them at 5-6 ft. I plan to prune them so that the branches don't go into one another & at the same time get a good amount of fruit because I don't have multiple plants of the same variety. Am I going in the right direction?

mounika Thanks for the compliment!!! And, yes, you’re going in the right direction. Just make sure that each tree is getting sufficient amounts of sun as they continue to mature! ☀️ Charles 🌱👍
Ooooooohh yeeeeaahhh...,💪
👍👍👍
started to like those nice apricot , peaches.. i wonder if there is any variety that is sweet, flavorful and compatible with hot and rainy season through out the year with temperature range`s between 24℃ - 38℃ ( 75.2°F - 100.4°F ) ?
I would love to have a few trees you have talked about! The 3/Apricot tree and the 5 in one (sorry I can't remember the name). My mom and dad had an apricot tree and it had the best flavor. How do I find out what kind it is? They have both passed away.
How could I get some of this PLU-OT and plu-cherry "seeds" or some little twigs for grafting?
Hi. What spacing are you normally planting when you want to keep the trees 6-8 ft tall?
Now I understand why store bought peaches don't have a flavor. Like you said they look great, but the flavor is very poor.
I have a grapefruit, this tree has a lot of new fruit. It is the last week of August. Can I prune.?
My Asian pear trees have stopped growing completely and very small height . No new branch growing up What should i do ?.
Thanks for all this great info - great video! 12 minutes in, Tom says this is great for privacy but doesn't it drop all the leaves for winter? Pluerries are deciduous, right?

Melinda Dixon Thanks for the compliment!!! Good point, these Prunus family of trees (including pluerries) are deciduous. So, they’ll make a good privacy hedge 8-9 months out of the year! And filtered privacy during the winter months! 😂 Charles 🌱👍

Can you regrow a cutting from a young tree? I’m sure I won’t get fruit for a few years just wondering if I could regrow a cutting from a young fruit tree. Please thank you
Can you shoot a “where are they now” of all the trees you planted in videos over the years?
