Don’t Do This When Planting Fruit Trees When Planting your fruit trees do not Bury this part of the tree. This is where the tree was grafted. Below this bump is called the rootstock. The rootstock is a different variety than the actual fruit that you get from the tree. This root stock controls how big the tree gets, it determines how well if fights certain disease, how it will adapt to your climate and how quickly it will produce fruit. If this gets buried it will change the genetics of the tree. So keep this above the ground at least 2 inches Grow Your Own Grow Strong 💪 #fruittrees #selfsustainability #permaculture #growyourown

Produce More Fruit Quicker Share this tip to a home growing buddy -Use webbing or a rope that is not going cut into the tree. -Do not put too much tension on the branch -Nice and Easy -Walk by every now and then and make sure there is no caterpillars hiding in the webbing you’re using -You can take the strap or rope off at the end of the season as the branch will be set in place -If the tree has a nice natural branch structure you don’t need to do this -Branches that are more horizontal are going to produce fruit quicker -When you start training the branch it’s no longer fighting to be the leader, so it’s going into fruit production mode quicker -This practice not only produces fruit quicker it also makes the branch structure stronger which is more important -If the Branch structure is greater than a 45 degree angle your branch will get included bark -This creates a tight angle that allows water to be held in the crotch. -As the tree gets bigger and starts producing fruit the weight of everything will break the branch off at this crotch and tare down the trunk of the tree. -This will allow bugs and diseases to infect the tree as the wound will be too large to heal over efficiently. -Avoid this by properly pruning and training your branches Grow Your Own 🌳🍐 Grow Strong 💪 #fruittrees #homesteading #permaculture #growyourown #treeplanting #selfsustainability

Fruit Tree Pruning 101 🍎🍐🌳 Small whips Whips are Single stemmed trees. No Branches It’s good to give the tree a heading cut to allow branches to form 2-6” below the cut. If you don’t the tree can become to lanky or might not form its first branches till the tree is to tall. A heading cut is just a cut that takes off the top of the branch or tree. It makes the buds below the cut become future branches. Where to cut? Just imagine where you want your first branch to be. Cut right above the bud on an angle. Pretty Cool Right?
