    Great videos. Short enough to maintain interest, but still adequate detail and perfect explanation. Showing the actual buds REALLY helps. Thx

    I have two apple tree. I have to look,look again your video to understand more. Because the more I cut, more it’s more vegetable growth. One of my problem. Thank you very much.

    Spot on information especially about the mutsu variety which is every bit as wonderful as you suggested. Also it is one of the longest storing apple you can find

    Many thanks, Orin. You're giving me the education I need to improve my small apple orchard.

    Thank you very much! I am looking forward to thinning my Asian pear next spring. Your videos are inspiring me to pay attention to what my fruit trees are telling me. Looking forward also to reading your book which I just ordered.

    All of Orin's videos are very well done. The dialogue is pertinent and stays on point. The video is complements the dialogue very well. After watching many of UC Santa Cruz videos I can now see prior years mistakes in my apple trees. Now have a much better understanding of how to proceed versus the take at the end of last season which was to chainsaw my trees. The trees are currently looking very healthy and short of some weird bug or disease attack should be my first good year.

    I have a Golden Delicious tree,supposedly self-pollinating variety. I was wondering if I took a tiny paintbrush and "dabbed" at the blossom after it is fully open it might help with pollination? Thanks
  • Thank you from Algeria. Here we have a cold region which is famous for growing apples called Auras lately As a farmer, I am a good follower of yours, and I have gained knowledge from you. On the account of my modest knowledge of the apple tree, I noticed that the fruiting buds differ from one variety to another.. For example, golden delichieus and red delichieus. The first produces fruiting buds on the woody twigs or the main branches, and the one-year-old branches also produce it, but red delichieus is produced on the main branches only and with fruiting buds attached to the woody branch, which are three years old, and it does not produce on the one-year-old branches. Except in the old tree and it has a sinking float. Do you have an explanation or a method for pruning this variety from winter and summer pruning? Is this problem related to climate and nutrition?
  • You look like my gradfather. Regards from apple growing Himalayas in India. ❤
  • Does red délichieus not produce much. It is produced only in three-year-old branches, and is there a method of pruning or feeding?
