Just found your channel and I'm a subscriber now, thank you for such great videos. For 10 years I've been creating a food forest on my backyard and this video made me change some of my previous views about trimming trees. Thanks. Have you got videos on soil biology and its importance for tree's health? I searched and didn't find any. I'm a portuguese nutritionist and would love to visit you and your trees. And if you ever think doing a video about composting I would love to help you out with it, I've been experimenting different methods and different materials with very good results. Looking forward to your next videos.

Thank you JSacadura, I especially like that in your videos you show the growth of the same tree over many years. Most other video makers only show them pruning the trees but never come back a year or 2 later to show how it grew on from there.

Thanks for the comment. That one of the reasons I do this videos. I always found annoying that those that publish pruning videos on KZread never did a follow up of the pruned tree. One of the most important points is seeing the results of the pruning jobs, the following year, so you can decide which techniques are most suited to your particular situation. That's why I try to follow up on the same trees, year after year, so viewers can see what to expect when using these pruning techniques. It requires lots of work and dedication but I believe the result is worth it.

It took me a few years to realize that PRUNING is essential for Tree health and Fruit Production. Don't be too cautious or afraid to prune, your trees will thank you ! Mr JS , you are a great teacher. I pray for your good health, my friend .

Best small tree pruning video ever! Thank you!

Thank you so much for enlightening me on basic pruning techniques. I have three small young apple trees and two small pear trees I planted last winter. Your explanation will surely help me to make hopefully the right pruning decisions. I’ll be looking forward to your next pruning video’s! Kris

Thank you. This was short and simple and gives me confidence to prune my trees in a productive way. I've been putting it off because I didn't have time to watch hours of instruction and I didn't want to ruin my trees.

I have bought my first appeltree, an Elstar, wich is a Dutch brand. A sweet and sour taste. So I was searching for instructions on KZread and I must say,this is the best video so far. Thank you!

There is so much from to learn from you, thank you for being a great teacher! you make it sound so easy. With your guidance I have chosen the open centre system for my little Gala apple tree. It gave me 55 apples last autumn but I will now confidently improve its care by giving it a good rest with some choice snips. ✂️

Perfect timing. We’ve just planted our first orchard.

Also, I really appreciate your videos. You show the results of the techniques you employ and this means you are 100% sure and confident in what you do and it shows you are a real pro. Great videos!!

Love your videos. I've learned so much from them. I have a small urban orchard (about 15 trees) planted around my home. They're not producing yet but hope to have some fruit this year. We're also in the process of starting a larger orchard on rural acreage we own. You're videos have given me the knowledge and confidence to take on this task. Thanks.

I didn’t have much of a clue on how to prune trees, so this video certainly helps. Especially to keep the tree from growing too tall. Thanks for the excellent video.

First class video SIR. Gives impetus to new people like me to care for their trees like you do. THANKS You are indeed a perfect doctor of trees

The best and most complete information on fruit tree pruning that I’ve seen to date. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for contrasting the open versus modified central leader approach, most other videos present one or the other. Also appreciate the before and after, shows you took extra time in making the video. Well done!!

This is the most helpful video I have seen on pruning fruit trees. Thanks for making it and for taking the time to share your knowledge!

Thank you J.S. for all the serious work that you do! I worked on an 80 acre farm in Western Colorado 6 years ago.They had various fruit trees like: Apple,apricot,peach, cherry and pear.I learned the basics as you have presented here.The orchard was about 65 years old and the trees had not been cared for by the previous owners in 20 years so there wasn't much we could do for some of them since mold,parasites and infection had devistate almost one third of the trees! I also worked in the 3 large greenhouses on the property.We/they grew salad greens like:Bibb lettuce,radichio, spinach,endive and arugula.The soil was depleted of beneficial earthworms, the whole place was infested with rats and since they were slack and didn't put the amount of effort into the farm I left after 3 months! I want to get back into agriculture and have found a couple of prospects around here in South Eastern Colorado where I now live!

Hands down one of the best pruning videos I've seen

Thankyou fir so many good tips, you have changed many wrong ideas I had, as I don't live in a comercial fruit producing area, but apples, plums, pears and cherries grow very well, though not spectacular but healthy and sweet A big hug from south of Chile, beginning of Patagonia

Thank you for your generosity. Very simple and effective methods. Look forward to more

You're a great resource. Your presentation and speaking is very clear and informative. Your editing is spot-on. Thanks a lot!

Another fantastic video! I always have enjoyed pruning my fruit trees and my roses. It’s such an amazing thing to see how much more healthy and productive they are after they are pruned vs if they are left to naturally grow however they want to.

Hi, Jared. It amazes me that some viewers still don't understand the benefits of pruning and would prefer a more "natural approach" letting the trees grow unchecked. They don't realize most of the plants we have in our orchards have nothing to do with natural varieties. They were breed and selected for production. Most have aggressive growth habits and so, they need to be cared for and checked, or they will do very poorly due to excessive growth as I show in the video - a few rows of an abandoned apple orchard - min. 1:48. Thanks for the comment.

This video is very easy to understand and seems to be most comprehensive, and it has been a great help to me. Thank you.

Excellent as always! I would enjoy a detailed video on summer pruning of apples plums and pears! Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. I have some last year video footage on the subject and if I managed to get the time, I am planning a video on summer pruning in a few months. Thanks for the suggestion.

I learned a lot from your video and at the moment we are on the pruning stage of our orchard. I’m cutting down my pears because it’s reaching the net from the 1 year old shoots. I literally repeated watching your videos so I learn more. My orchard is over 10 years old but I have a lot of young trees raging from 2 years old to 5 years old because after the big snow that fall on my net 2 years ago a lot of fruit trees breaks and I need to graft new varieties on the old stump and they are just starting to take off now and making my decisions what shape I will have open vase or centre leader. Your videos is so informative and I can’t stop watching them. Good job….

That’s probably the best and most informative pruning video I’ve seen. Nicely filmed and edited too. I don’t have any apple trees yet but hope to have some in the next few years. Subscribed.

Most of my fruit trees start open center, but I usually let the center fill in since we have such brutal sun (7000 ft elevation here). I'll whitewash the trunks, too. Seems to help a bit. Appreciate the tips, as always! :)

Great video. I have about 15 apple trees this is one of the best videos for pruning. I do the central leader system to try to cut down on the deer damage. The fencing gets expensive.

The deer were so helpful pruning my trees for me last year.

Excellent video,thank you for sharing!!

Loved the video, liked and subscribed. About to plant my first two fruit trees. The plum is already very tall. Scary to cut so much off, fingers crossed. And the fig was from a cutting so it's only knee height right now.

I do some pruning instruction at community gardens each spring, and I found your presentation on KZread to be the most informative I have found in the internet. Best wishes, RL

Tysm This is an area I’m so afraid to start…doing maybe this year, hopefully

So very informative! Thank you. I only have a few young trees so I will use this for them. Unfortunately I inherited some very old trees that were not maintained. I was only able to do limited pruning on a few of them (we have over 20) in February because it was so cold at that time we couldn't stay outside for longer than 15 minutes. All the old trees need a lot of pruning and shaping.
