  • thanks for the tips on how to prune my aporicot tree it makes total sense and cant wait for tomorrow morning lol i think the tree is about 4 to 5 yrs old and my wife and i just moved in to this apartment that is the only one with a fruit tree. hopefully it produces enough for my neighors to grab some lol thanks again

  • thanks ,a good lesson about prunning, but the speed movement video gave me eyesore

  • budayıcı usta ama kamerayı kullanan acemi,gözlerimi berbad etti,neyse bir meyve ağacının nasıl budanması gerektiğini anladım

  • @asli1953 Sorry, I can't translate this well enough to understand what you have said. The closest I can come is Turkish but that doesn't seem right either.

  • Great video, thanks so much.

  • Very helpful video. I have an apricot tree that came with the house we bought three years ago. The first year it had quite a few apricots, the second year a very large amount and this year nothing. I have pretty much just let it run its course for the last few years with the exception of a little pruning. But now I think it needs help. Should I start feeding it or just give it a really good pruning?

  • @just4fun2140 Feeding and pruning are both annual requirements for good apricot culture. I wouldn't omit either of them from my yearly program.

  • Very helpful. Thanks!

  • Apricot trees are highly suceptable to a common disease called gumosis , it will kill the tree, highly suggest before pruning an apricot fruit tree to do thorough research , it will save you a big dissapointment.

  • @bilaczenko Anyone pruning Apricots will notice the condition called gumosis. It is actually a series of different bacterial and fungal conditions all having similar symptoms. Causes can include: Cytospora canker or Valsa canker, Eutypa Dieback, or Fungal Gummosis (fungus - Botryosphaeria dothidea). In California we limit the spread of these conditions by pruning during dry weather in October and avoiding pruning during the rains. Cleaning tools and using copper fungicides also helps.

  • @GreenGardenGuy1 yeah copper but what if they are inside the home I have one that is pretty big inside my home and the apricots prune just fine I had only about 16 so I ate them all just that when I took them all out all of the sudden the tree like it seemed to gotten sick is this bad?

  • @BusinessButterfly Apricots don't usually grow well inside houses so I have no experience there. What I can tell you is plants grown in the shelter of a building won't take being moved out doors with out a period of adjustment. The plant will probably grow out of the stress eventually but expect the old leaves to fall off first.

  • Well, I pruned this winter and this year(spring) I've got blossoms....Now, the reason might be, that the winter was pretty harsh and long this year (3rd coldest in Texas history?).and those apricots just might need some extra chilling time to produce,isn't it right???

  • @sonofsun4 Apricots have different chilling times. The ones we grow here in coastal CA are low chill, your winter might just freeze them out. If you have high chill plants like Chinese or Manchurian then you do need cold weather to get a crop.

  • 1.Now where or how do I find what type of pruning is needed for different types of apricot trees?

    2. Someone has told me that apricot tree needs to be about 5 years old to produce. I bought 2 trees of different variety for cross pollination 2 years ago.This is 3rd spring in my yard. For last two years no blossoms.??

    Thanks

  • try cutting in august, because if you prune in winter you could potentially early spring blossom off the tree, especially apricot

  • @sonofsun4 hmmm I have two trees as well one is very large almost is just too big for me to even try to move it and the other is just smaller both prune fine one 6 other 16 so the little one is fine but the big one is a little ill I think how can I save it HELP ME i SENT ALL OF YOU E-MAILS NO ONE IS ASNWERING OMG... homedepot has no idea how to save my trees I try all their chemicals
