I'm new here, and I'm gonna be here for a while. I love to see all the different climates and species binding to them, I'm a grower aswell here in Portugal. If one day you decide to visit my country I would love to share some fruits and veggies with you guys 😀 Cheers

I think Tuck wants a tree by the fence, he has a nice whole all ready for you. This was some valuable information James, I would not have known any of this. You give your fruit trees the best start ever to a life long production of juicy fruit. Thank you so much.

Oh yeah he's got the right size hole too.

Hint-o-rama. Dig out a hole about 4 or 5 times wider than the pot. Make sure it is a jagged or square hole, not a circle. Set it in, with the shoulder of the root (just below the graft) about 3 inches higher than the surrounding soil. Backfill (as you do) with the soil gently sloping down from the shoulder to the surrounding soil. Mulch, keep the are weed free. Your tree will girth out and grow in leaps and bounds. Lots of love! Edit: the square or jagged hole prevents the roots from growing in a circle, like they do in a pot. The roots will penetrate through a square or jagged hole way better.

Perfect James, I'm picking up 5 bare root trees in about a week and this is a great reference!

Love this! Love how Tuck was digging too! Haha! Love that doggo 🐶 thank you for all your videos bro I really appreciate them! God bless you all

I always come here, clicking on titles that I thought I knew about. Then I learn more. Thanks James. Good stuff

Ciao James, good to see you back. I am from Italy, near Rome, reading your surname i think ur origine from here too😊...usually i like planting flowers specially roses. Watching your videos inspired me to transform my backyard to food forest so i planted yesterday my three fruit trees, apple, peach and cherry. when it is time I am gonna plant veggies too...grazie grazie mille per tutto. God Bless you and Tuck

Let’s go!!! Every garden needs a boss like Tuck!

You are one of the best teachers on the Internet! Every minute is full of shared knowledge. Thank you for presenting the way you do James!

OMG!!!! I just got my square foot gardening book today and already planted 1 bare root dwarf cherry tree. Thank GOD for you bcs we'd be planting all wrong. I know I would. I just saw ALL the mistakes I would have made in planting a potted tree. Thank you James and "the BIG Tuck". GOD Bless you both!!

I learned something new today! Don't bury the union below ground, leave a couple inches. Thanks so much! I'll be watching more of your videos so I can not do some of the mistakes I've done in the past. I love the no nonsense approach and of course, the little Tuck pup. Great videos!

So smart to plant in the chicken pen! Super charged actual Earth, not “soil”. Very Tuck approved! Let’s Go! 💕

… Wonderful to see you for this years gardening 👨‍🌾 season, James. 🤗 💕

Great timing James and Tuck. I just got 2 bare root fruit trees and a potted blueberry. 😍

Go tuck go dig dig dig 😂

I just got done potting 11 fruit trees - can't plant them yet because I'm still prepping the site. But I put them in a potting soil mix, mostly organic compost. Then I watched this video again where you advise against doing that. I'll be putting them in their permanent homes in about 1 month from now. I sure hope they make it and prosper. I can hardly wait to get this going.

Have you ever thought about writing a book about gardening and all of the knowledge you possess? I would be the first to buy it!

It was nice to watch a step by step video, because I’m a visual learner. We will be planting lots of trees for our new food forest project soon. Thank you!

We bought a bare root apple tree a month ago. Planted it and it is waking up!! Took your advice from a previous video and bought from a reputable store online, not from a box store by us. I am confident it is the correct tree!! Thank you!!

Nice! I just received and planted my first 7 fruit trees from Raintree. 🌳 🌳 Thanks for the pointers, James and Tuck!

We put 5 trees in last year and the final two are coming today from Raintree! I spent yesterday prepping the area. I'm so excited! Happy spring. 😊

I don't know if you RE-POSTED or KZread is just 'throwing' your OLDER videos into my FEED but if it's you, James, thank you! I'm ready to see these and honestly I'm not filtering through anyone's OLD videos! PLAYLISTs people... PLAYLISTs!

James and tuck are great teachers.

Dang. I think I'm going to retire as a Chiropractor and start a huge garden. Looks fun

Perfect timing for me! My 2 plums just arrived, bare root. They’re looking good. I used to amend my clay soil with compost and composted horse manure. Today I’m following your formula and adding a bit of peat moss to my hole and that’s it! It’s always so exciting to plant more trees in my mini orchard. Thanks again, James!

Perfect timing! I have plum, peach, raspberry, asparagus etc. Coming soon.

Love to see the hard work of the tree planting and Tuck playing in the dirt aha

Man that soil is sandy! It's very impressive the crops you get considering the soil

So glad the King is back! This is my first year for planting fruit trees. They are currently in containers but with this helpful video, I feel empowered and confident that all will go well. My plum, peach, navel orange, Meyer lemon, grapefruit and pomegranate will all be in the ground this year to provide fruit for years to come. Thank you James and the Big Boss Tuck!!

I like planting my trees with the root ball sticking up above the ground a little. They seem to do better when I do that.

Right on time. Bought a potted apple tree and your video provides all the information I needed. I see the Boss helping you dig holes. Thanks a bunch

Highly recommend Cummins Nursery to those looking for bare root trees. They have hundreds upon hundreds of varieties of fruit trees, plus full and detailed information about each variety, including required cross-pollinators, rootstock options, etc. I just received four bare root apples from them this week, and they look amazing. Their prices and shipping costs are also better than many other companies. One caveat, though, is that you have to order early to get exactly what you want. The trees I received in April are ones I ordered last June.

I just put in a new strawberry patch today. It’s going to look nice when the plants start spreading out.

I just purchased five different fruit trees I'm so glad your channel came up I'm a subscriber. Now I know how to plant the right way for fruit tree. Where's my little dog digging. That's okay I catch you next time cuz I'm sure he'll be out there with you looking so cute eating them cucumbers

Perfect timing on this video! Our trees from raintree nursery just arrived today and we’re excited to plant!

5:33 I've heard it's good to dig a square hole with clear, sharp corners at the bottom, so that when the roots grow to the edge of the hole you dig to plant it, that they are less likely to circle around and more likely to spread out. Dunno if it's true, but seemed to make sense to me. And that's the same with adding lots of compost and nutrients to the soil you put back into the hole you dug. If it's significantly richer than the soil around it, when the roots get to the edge of the hole you dug, they won't want to explore the less nutritious soil and so the root growth may concentrate on the smaller area.

Thank you! I learned some things I need to change for my next Raintree order. You’re the best! 🍎I’m so glad we on Long Island are in the same USDA zone as you.

Thank you 😊 God bless you and your family 💕🙏🤗🐕🐾🐾🐈🐾🐓

Watching from work on my break, love all your videos man, I'm so motivated to start my own food forest.

Great video and tips! Greetings from Michigan! 😊

Thank you for showing how to properly plant a fruit tree.

Tuck ran from the rolling pot like Indian Jones ran from the boulder!

Planted a contender last week and I'm still waiting for my red haven. Fingers crossed. I do hope they do well. Great time it is for gardners.

Nice to see you and tuck this season :)

you are an inspiration james!! let's goo

Nice presentation! Another Raintree fan here. Just planted a Nectaplum from them! Have a great growing season and enjoy your new trees!

Those tree babies are so lucky to have you for a daddy. :-)

Just got my 8 new fruit trees Thanks for the knowledge

Glad you and tuck are still doing great 😊

great tips which am sure many people really didnt know a out the grafting top and the pruning as probably they just get planted and nothing else as they think its ready to go! I have taken a few tips and have about 20 apple tree seedlings as have grown them from seed and about 10 pear trees the same way - just need to plant them in our orchard! The seeds are from the trees we have in the orchard so keeping the same/similar variety tree! just got to try to keep the non native grey squirrel and rabbits from digging them up here in the UK!

Hi James thanks again for sharing this video on how to plant fruit trees and bear root trees 🌳 very good information today

It's always a pleasure to watch you and Tuck giving us all good advice. I've learned so much from you in the past year. I'm a novice food forest gardener so every little bit of advice helps. I also especially enjoyed watching the hole digging prowess of Tuck, he has amazing form. Till next time, cheers.

Backyard fruit 🍉 always delicious 😋😀😀😀

THAT was awesome! Love the granular, "root-stock" information. Thanks James!!

Always learning so much from you and Tuck!! Thank you James & Tuck!!

I love these kinds of videos. Now I know what to do when I'm able to get a fruit tree and you made it easy to follow. ❤

We planted 2 new fruit trees today. Your video is so on time :)

You have motivated me into planting my bare root pear tree in-ground James. I was initially going to plant it in a large pot but this detailed video has me wanting to do otherwise! Thanks so much man!

James and Tuck~ I wanted to tell you how inspirational your channel is for me, the knowledge and experience you share is abundant!! I have been binge watching for only a few weeks now and I am amazed with your space and all the info you share! I am working on my own food forest now! Thank You!!! Keep doing what you're doing!!!

Thank you James and Tuck! I started gardening 2 years ago and I quickly became obsessed. I’ve learned so much from you and now I’m excited to start my fruit tree journey. Particularly excited about Figs!

Love your content - thank you, how about this! First year they sleep, Second year they creep, Third year they leap, Forth year you reap!

Hi James! I plant potted trees only when I'm out of the planting season... for me it's a great way to not get bummed out when I've "missed" the planting window for a specific tree. Find a potted one and plant that one, whenever. Other than that - I also prefer bare-root trees. Love your energy!

Just love Tuck and learn so much from you and your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you for sharing. Bibby

Super informative, thank you James and Tuck‼️

I prefer coco coir as well! It's much more environmentally friendly and sustainable compared to peat moss :)

Greetings from the high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am a new subscriber. Love what you and your handsome helper are doing there in New Jersey! So educational and inspirational! Love your attention to detail, your passion for growing and your humility. it is also clear to see that your handsome helper is not just another pretty face. He has discriminating taste and has his own planting style. ❤

I am a newer subscriber and enjoy the videos I've seen so far. I just planted a Cosmic Crisp and have been playing around with grafting. I learned a couple things similar to what you talked about. First, if you buy potted trees from nurseries in the winter-spring, many seem to be bare root that were recently thrown into a pot of dirt, but now cost 4 times the price. Second, I learned that it is PAINFUL to prune so much of the tree when doing the initial planting, as the tree becomes so small. I get the need for root and scaffolding branches, but it was sad. Anyway, nice work!

I'm really really loving the tree planting and information! Thank you James!

Great video. I just planted 4 bareroot peach trees and used your technique of the coconut core and the Micos. When buying potted trees I like to take an old bread knife and square the root ball off by slicing the sides off to make it square. I saw a youtube on this and did it on some peach trees and it worked well. Just something to consider. Didn't hurt my trees at all.

Before watching your videos I planted two peach trees. Just came inside after redoing them so the graft is at least two inches above the soil. I am like oh god I have to redo them but remembered what James said it's easier to do it now then in five years.

Good morning James, thanks for all the info. ❤❤ for Tuck

Will you please do a video on properly pruning a plum tree? I have a Santa Rosa plum tree that is doing great but I want to set her up for success… thanks

Thank you, I needed this!!!

Hey.👋🏽 It’s the pink lady apple tree beginner grower. I responded back to the on the next day. At the time you messaged me, we were going through a storm; & I didn’t know of it until the next day. Since when I’ve responded back to you, the trees 🌳 look to have grown even more healthier. I’m worried about its location, also. I need to do more research on it though. Keep my wishes up high for me to succeed with their growth. And, you do great detailed & informative videos. Very helpful.

Let’s go! You’re the best dude… love your videos!

Such clear, excellent teaching. Thank you.

God bless you from Morocco

Ordered the first 6 fruit trees! Remembered your pruning video, this is going to be really helpful. Thanks, James!

Love your energy man! Thanks for the great tips and tricks. I’ll watch some more of your content for sure.

Burnt ridge nursery has high quality trees and bushes also big I love them.

Thank you for the detailed explanation for why you prune apple trees the way you do it. And thank you for the explanation for planting and how to prune bare root peach trees. I'm about to put one in.

Tuck enjoys helping ❤

Great info as always.. Glad you caught that grafting area on that potted plant. I will pay more attention to that in the future. Tuck was making me laugh with his enthusiastic hole digging help. I did order the micos and use that regularly with everything i plant. Thank you.

Lots of great information! Thanks

Great and informed video James, thanks very much.

You do it just like I do on bare root.

This was so helpful. I feel much more confident for planting fruit trees this weekend. ❤❤’s for Tuck!

My rain tree order arrives this week. Glad I came across this one. Did not know the grafting part! All my dwarves would have been full sized! Thanks James and Tuck!
