when you burlap them please make a youtube video of it. I'm interested in learning more about the process.

I second that. I burlapped my fruit trees this past winter, but I had no idea what I was doing. I literally wrapped them in burlap and duct tape as if I was swaddling a baby.

Thank you for integrity and admitting mistakes. We appreciate your candidness.

Please go over the process of covering the trees in burlap. 👍🏼

Christmas tree lights under the burlap provides some extra heat. We’ve done that for many years with great success.

Great info I just planted my trees in MI this year. Thanks new subscriber here

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that!! My condolences on the loss of your peach trees! I'm going to watch the video so I don't make the same mistake... especially up here in Southern Ontario!

Well done Luke! You raise the level of credibility. Wonderful of you to share this. Thanks.

Thank you for that information !

This is so helpful to know, thank you so much for sharing this!

So sorry about your crop. Thank you for making this video and sharing your experience with all of us.

Too hard for me to wrap a large tree in burlap and probably why u didn't. I went online to pick more hardy fruit varieties for our area which needed no protection for me living near you. I didn't trust the random varieties that big box stores provide, if I'm going to put the time into growing a good fruit tree then I'll spend an extra $10 to order better varieties from Stark brothers as I did, and glad I did since this record cold year for us didnt cause die off to my trees or needed any protecting. So looking up after this winter

Awww that's so sad :( . I'm out in cali and we planted our 1st peach tree last year. It's 4x it's size since we planted it and had a TON of fruit for it's first year. We are so excited. I thank you so much for posting this video though because we do get some weeks that temp drops down. I'll make sure I cover it just in case. Love your channel!!

Thank you! burlap also probably helps protect from deer and such? hope your trees rebound well!

I feel you buddy. My peach tree in nj had tons of flowers and a crazy rainstorm came through the next day. 🤞🏽some got pollinated

so happy you talk about it thank you i will be watching for how to wrap for next season

I feel your pain. That’s exactly what happened to my fruit trees this year :( blossomed out and a late freeze came along. Thanks for the tips, you been helping me with my garden for a long time!

Thank you for sharing this info. I hadn't delved into peaches, but that was going to be my next fruit trees to plant.

I'm sorry you lost this years harvest. I just planted a peach last week. This info is so valuable ! thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge

I SEE GREEN BUDS ON YOUR TREE! JEALOUS! We in the UP are still awaiting spring!

Thank you for posting. I didn't know this subject. I wondered why my one peach tree has not been fruiting.

Will you be cutting back the frost bit part, Or will they be ok next year? Will you be doing video on how to rap the burlap? Thank you for al the great info

ThankYou For Sharing 💜🧡💖

Thanks for this video, I live in Minnesota and have a new Contender peach tree and the winters aren't getting any easier that's for sure

Great video Luke. Sorry for your failure, but it will be a great learning tool for everyone else, and that is what your channel is all about.

“Pushing the zone” by David the Good has great information for fruit trees and cold.

So sorry! On Long Island a lot of people wrap their fig trees with burlap and tar paper, super warm insulation for the tree.

Thats so sad! It has been a rough winter and spring this year

Do you have to wrap all the trees .I live in michigan too .

Sad but great lesson for us all. Thanks for sharing

sorry for your loss but it also shows that everyone can make mistakes and learn from them, for those of us who continually make more mistakes than others it is somewhat heartening to know

It's super useful to learn from failures (especially those of others) as well as successes. Thanks for sharing! I wonder if anybody wrapped just some of their peaches this past winter in burlap, but left others out in the cold? It would be interesting to see a direct comparison to see how much difference the burlap makes.

Awesome info always wrapped my figs never even thought about my stone fruit🌱🌱

Would love to see how you do the burlap wrap next year. And also, will the burlap make snow weigh the branches down more? I had a lot of broken branches on many trees this winter as we had record snowfall and I couldn't knock all the snow off. It's always great to see people talk about their mistakes. That's how we all learn. Thanks!

I'm so sorry for yall loss on your peach trees; lessons learned means better harvests for years to come. If it weren't for lessons in life, then how would we learn otherwise? No amount of book learning can beat life experience. Great video!

Thank you so much for sharing. I know that talking about our failures is never the funnest thing, but by humbling yourself who knows how many people you have helped. I pray that the Lord blesses you for your selflessness! : )

Curious... about the frost-bit tips. Do you trim them back or leave them? I have the same thing with some nut trees.

Awe.... bummer!! Sorry to hear!

Oh I am making note with this one! I believe our fig tree got some frost bite. I noticed it earlier this spring and cut it back, hoping it survives. Just planted out peach 🍑 tree so I will be getting g my burlap for the winter. Thanks for sharing.

@@kathyladow4634 I'm not very far from you here in NJ. Fig trees are Mediterranean so our climate is not ideal in winter for them. If you like You Bet Your Garden, Mike Mcgrath has a TON of information about wrapping them and things to look out for to help your fig along. He's also from PA, so it may help!

I live next to you and got 5newly planted fig varieties to all survive the winter in ground with a bit of leaves at the bottom wrapped in burlap worked great.... Also is good to buy more hardy fruit trees, as the varieties I picked we're developed around us like from Canada, minissota ect... My trees are young by you and no die off 👍

Curious how much you wrap them? Just once around? Or layered? 🤔

Thanks for sharing as in Australia we are heading into winter I’m going to check if my variety of fruit trees could be affected

I am so glad you made this video. I have peach trees that are supposed to grow in zone 4 and can't seem to keep them alive. I had thought and am still thinking about putting the wood slat snow fence around them for the winter and now I will get some of that burlap and try that out too. I love that you show your mistakes it is a good way for the rest of us to learn!!!

thanks for sharing. So sorry. We all have these growing moments don't we? I sure know that I do.

Luke, a word of advice. Read the Farmer's Almanac. It said that we were going to have a bad winter this year, and we did. It will help you know what to plan for in each season.

Thank you for talking about the apple and pear trees. I was actually going to ask about apples and pears, because where I live at 8000 feet, I'm not even going to bother with peach trees. But I was wondering if I should be wrapping apple and pear trees. So I'm glad to know that I don't need to do that with our apples and pears. Thank you! What would you recommend with plum trees overwintering?

We're in southern Arizona, so we don't have to worry too much about the frost here. We do get frost in the winter (and occasionally snow) in our particular area, but it's mostly over by the time the peach tree blooms. However, there is occasionally a late frost in April, and if our peach trees are flowering at the time, we suffer the same fate. Thankfully we didn't run into that scenario last year nor this year, our peaches are growing nicely. Thanks for the update, and for showing your mistakes. It gives me, as a first-time gardener, much encouragement that it'll all work out in the end.

Please show how you burlap the trees. From start to finish. Ty

looking forward to next year's video on how to wrap trees in burlap.

In SoCal, we've got the reverse problem. Moderate winters (rarely below 30degrees), but sunburn in the hot summer can be a real issue!

I don't know what variety you're growing but the Horticultural teacher I had grew the red haven variety one year when no other variety made it during a cold snap and it was the only one that produced that year.

Luke, do you prune trees that get frostbite like that and when?

i'm just now catching up on your videos, and i'm SOOO sorry you lost all that fruit!! the same happened to me here in the pacific NW. nectarine tree lost all flower buds due to bad late season frost. apples are very happy thankfully. we will know better next winter!

Is there a certain way to wrap the trees? Do you wrap the individual branches or a big ball of branches as a whole?

We also had snow a week ago here in Michigan it dropped into the 20s. Most trees had bloomed here in lower mi already. I waited to plant my new trees till after they freak snow

Do you think this is necessary in zone 7b? (Long Island)

How sad, I'm so sorry. We don't get snow up here in the Northern California redwoods (just 70+ inches of rain annually!) but we do have widespread problems with peach leaf curl. I've (organically) treated the last two winters and they're budding out beautifully now, so fingers -- and no branches -- crossed!

What about spraying them with water? Don't they do that for citrus? But in a different zone/cold, I guess.

I'm in zone 7a in Tennessee. My peach tree's all lost their blooms to late frost. Thank you for this tip. I'm buying burlap!

So do you wrap with burlap or do you chose a hardier peach for the Michigan area? Maybe try some Contender, Reliance and Intrepid peaches. They are the most popular cold hardy peach trees.

Hi Luke - I've got a Redhaven Peach in my back yard here in the Adelaide Hills (South Australia), it is a prolific fruiter with the sweetest tasting fruit of the entire orchard. Lucky we rarely drop below freezing though

My apple tree for some reason Kept its leaves during winter here in Texas and never produces apples but when it does they fall off before they ripen any ideas to help

@jennifern2805

It may require too many chill hours for Texas. What kind of apple tree is it? I hear Anna is good for warmer climate.

So I live in a Zone 8b, should I be as concerned as you suggest? I see that Michigan is Zones 4a to 6b and can get into the negative temperatures, for winter whereas in general Zone 8b's lowest temperature is in the teens. It does snow here and it gets cold enough to freeze water outside. So was it the Wind Chill or was it ice on the limbs that gave them frostbite? If it was the ice on the limbs I will have to wrap not only my Peachtree but my grapevine as well.

would you grow a pluerry (peach cherry hybrid) maybe I could send one

So sorry..I lost mine last year..I tried putting sheets in the trees, it was Full of beautiful pink flowers, then we had a hard cold snap. 😞 I'm excited, this may be my first year to actually see fruit! Thanks for sharing..can't wait to see the burlap method!

Do I need to worry about frostbite in zone 8?

How are you going to burlap them when they get big? Its always good when you have a good crop one year to can and freeze all that you can, in the event something happens to your crop.

Bummer.. your garden bed is beautiful by the way.

Notice peaches don’t seem to be in markets that often anymore. Does someone know why?

Thanks for this, i just planted my first peach tree last fall and iv been watching it not sure exactly whats going to happen with it... im not seeing any blossoms coming so i think the same thing happened to my peach tree. Its suppose to be hardy to zone 4, but i guess that just means it won't die but can still lose all the flowers. Ill try burlap next year also.

We planted our peach trees 2 years ago. This year is the 1st year we actually have fruit. They got lots of pretty pink flowers and then the fruit. Can't wait to see them get bigger. Hopefully you will get some next year.

Please make a video about wrapping your trees next year!!!

Thanks for the info. I also lost my peach (Michigan). I also had damage to the trunk of my tree.

Please show how to wrap trees in burlap! My snow is just now melting so my trees will be budding soon.

So awesome to know. I was just going to buy some peach trees and now I know how to make the most for my purchase!

Did you wrap the whole.pear tree in burlap?

Question- are the urban apples GMO??

Im impatiently waiting for that burlap mummy wrap video. Im south of you in Indiana our winter was HARSH. We're situated on a hill with no wind block for MILES and the lows got to -60 a couple days w sustained winds of 55, gusts up to 70 and i dont think my peaches faired well. Last year we didn't get 1 peach, probably the same for this year 😢. Im very curious to see what low temps and winds can the burlap wrap handle 🤔

I’m so sorry about your peaches. Just FYI: not all apples and pears are hardy to zone three. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. There are varieties not hardy for my area. They are very hardy trees, but not all are that hardy.

I live in GA and have brown/dead tips. I'm treating the trees for Asian moth with neem oil and planting sunflowers. I may get some pheromone traps if the battle continues into next year.

Same happened to my peach tree.. do I cut the tips off, or is the tree dead ?

It could also be Asian moth. I would cut the tips and destroy them, then treat with neem oil frequently and plant sunflowers. I believe there are 4 cycles a year for Asian moth.

I’m from WI and I am on the same boat. 😢😭 We had some pretty nasty weather this winter. My baby peach tree did make it this year. But lesson learned. I saw our neighbor used tarp to wrap one of their tree and I was just going to do the same thing this coming winter. But I think I’ll give the burlap a try. Thanks for sharing.

Demonstration please and what about cherry trees?

Oh, Luke, I'm sorry that the peach harvest this year will be virtually non-existent. Thank you for sharing -- even if it is a bitter pill to swallow. 😧 (👍#296 and comment #60). Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 4/30/2019.

Thats very unfortunate you lost your peaches this year. But like you said , we learn from our mistakes. A lesson well learned.

I'm also not very exited, so thanks for uploading mate!

That sucks . I have one lonely peach tree in a big fabric pot that's thriving. I planted clover a while back when I first got the tree. Chopped all the clover recently and let it mulch. The tree is so happy looking. Sorry to hear you deal with frost bite. I'm lucky here in southern California

Thank you for sharing. I bought a dwarf peach tree a little over a month ago in full bloom. It started producing and then I lost them all. :-(

I always water mine thoroughly top to bottom before a freeze and lose very little if any fruit. Peaches pears apricots. It always works.

You could also put Christmas trees lights on them, incandescent style, keep it up with the great info, Sow Rooted PS. Just bought some seeds and stuff for your store 😁

Go buy the burlap while it's top-of-mind. Good luck.

To say all apples and all pears are hardy to zone 3 is misleading. It completely has to do with the cultivar and rootstock.

Thanks for showing us even the best of us have garden mistakes.

Wow i was concerned by the tital that the trees died! I I thought how did that happen! Does burlap not prevent it from airflow?

I live in Michigan also and my peach tree is in the same condition. I have lost about 80% of the flower buds. I appreciate the information on peach trees.

our apple trees last year no blossoms at all, I think ot was the late snow. Waiting to see about this year

Great info, fellow Michigander here. You a yooper or troll?

I know this is off topic, but For the worm bin video tomorrow, WalMart might have 18qt totes in sale for $3 each. I got some this past weekend so I can start another worm bin.

Plastic around the root base and mulch over top worked good for my peach tree. But I'm in zone 9. It should work in all zones with the right base layer.

My whole peach tree died this winter. Every bud on it is blackish and hard as a rock. No leaves on it. Limbs dry. I'm in NC and have no idea why it died. It did great last year.

I'm in Northern Ohio and all my flowers died off as well I noticed in the last week or so. I wonder if it was the weather.
