Home Gardener's Guide to Fruit trees with me and my special guest, Ted DeJong, retired pomologist from UC Davis! Ted explains basic tree science in order to guide our care and the pruning of fruit trees in our home garden. With the science behind us we will be empowered to prune and care for our fruit trees correctly! Ted answers questions like: How do I increase fruit production on my old tree? How do I keep my tree size controlled (it's too tall!!)? How do I prune my fruit tree? When should I prune my fruit tree? Can I prune my tree with all of the flowers on? Which branches should I prune on a fruit tree? And much more! I hope you find it as helpful as I did!! (and PS-so sorry about my congestion...hayfever hit hard AS I was filming this video!!)
