Habitat Podcast #388 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Cory Franceus and Matt Zahl! We discuss: Tree tubes are easy, but cages may protect better long-term. Apple trees can struggle when tubes hold leaf debris. Mouse guards help prevent young trees from being girdled. Weak trunks can get damaged after tubes come off. Fruit trees need yearly maintenance, not just planting. Autumn olive can explode fast after sunlight hits the ground. Some autumn olive is worth keeping if it creates bedding. Spring is the time to clean up access and shooting lanes. Food plots help create social activity, not just food. Earlier fall planting may help beat late-summer drought. And So Much More!

In this popular episode from last spring, Joanne speaks with author and fruit tree care educator Susan Poizner about her book, Fruit Tree Pruning: The Science and Art of Cultivating Healthy Fruit Trees, and shares Susan's practical advice for growing healthier, more productive fruit trees. About Susan Poizner Susan Poizner is an award-winning author, journalist, urban orchardist, and fruit tree care educator based in Toronto, Canada. She trains arborists, master gardeners, and community and home orchardists in fruit tree maintenance through in-person workshops, online courses, and webinars. Her books include Grow Fruit Trees Fast, Growing Urban Orchards, Fruit Tree Grafting for Everyone and Fruit Tree Pruning. Here are some of the topics discussed in this episode: Fruit Trees Are a Long-Term Relationship, Not an Impulse Purchase Fruit trees require planning, patience, and ongoing care. Instead of grabbing a pretty tree from a garden centre, research disease-resistant varieties, pollination needs, rootstock size, hardiness zone, and the right nursery source before planting. Proper Pruning Is Essential for Healthy Trees and Better Fruit Susan explains why young bare-root trees should be pruned the day they're planted, how formative pruning shapes a tree for life, and why mature trees can often be restored with thoughtful pruning. Learn the difference between trimming and pruning, especially how over-trimming can create dense, unhealthy canopies. Healthy Soil, Smart Placement, and Natural Care Lead to Better Harvests To thrive, fruit trees need full sun, enough root space, compost or quality mulch, annual cleanup, dormant spray, and attention to soil health. Good care reduces disease pressure, improves fruit quality, and makes fruit trees more productive without relying heavily on chemical sprays.

I was so looking forward to talking with Susan Poizner - I've heard so many times that the first thing you should do on a homestead is plant perennial fruits, so I wanted to make sure we/I know the best practices, And Susan's story about learning about fruit tree care is so incredible. Susan planted fruit trees in her city park in an empty space, only to hear from some community people that they didn't want it. She did it anyway, and created this beautiful community of education, appreciation and care for the earth - EVEN from her naysayers! The orchard transformed the park - it brought in visitors and beneficial insects and birds. She learned so much about fruit trees, and she wants to help others learn from her experience. She is an Arborist, but she says Arborists aren't taught about fruit trees, and that matters.Susan hosts a podcast, also called Orchard People, and has written 5 books (links to both are below). She is a wealth of knowledge - she is very much a WHY person, and a data person, and is so generous with her time. "Growing fruit trees is a partnership between you and the tree - when you give it the hands on care it needs, it will reward you for years to come." That's why it's recommended to start with fruit in homesteading. A little bit of the right care, and you'll have all the fruit you could ever need. She suggest doing some research in the beginning to make sure the trees you choose will grow well in your planting zone - set yourself up for success.You can check out Orchard Peoples' website: https://orchardpeople.com/Susan's podcast is here: https://podcast.orchardpeople.com/Susan's books are available here: https://learn.orchardpeople.com/books?_gl=1*972vh3*_ga*MjExNjAxNjg4MS4xNzc2MTI2NjQ1*_ga_BFBJFLTXPT*czE3NzYxMjg2NzkkbzIkZzAkdDE3NzYxMjg2NzkkajYwJGwwJGgwSend me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Growing Pomegranates is not a very popular gardening subject in New Zealand, yet, once you get into it you might be surprised what the shrub looks like and how the fruits taste when fully grown and mature. Punica granatum is the one with red flowers that hails from the Mediterrané and Tropical and Sub-Tropical regions. The Socotran Pomegranate hails from the Socotra Island (Yemen) and has pink flowers but less sweet fruit when it ripens. My research tells me they grow well in warm regions, but I saw them growing well in Canterbury too, as long as the frosts aren't too extreme. Plant in winter… Generally speaking, plant in a sunny spot (regular sun-light for most of the day) with a large area of well drained fertile soil of good depth (50 cm deep is a good start). Regular watering (not over-watering!) is appreciated and will allow the plant to move upwards. Citrus fertiliser (with a decent amount of Potash in the N-P-K ration) is a great boost from springtime till autumn. Every two weeks or so will help the plant nicely. From spring till autumn the flowers, followed by developing fruit, will absorb the food. There are dwarf varieties (“Nana”) that are suitable to plant in large pots – they can grow to a meter long. Often it takes three years for a plant to become habitual growers of bright-red flowers, followed by the red fruit. In some warm conditions (Northland, Auckland, coastal Hawke's Bay, etc) the Pomegranates might take two (sometimes three) years to start delivering the fruit. In summer, the flowers fade a bit towards an orangey look – pollinating insects will by then have done their job. Fruit will develop in autumn or slightly later. A regular but light pruning after harvest will keep the plant in great condition for development in springtime. Sometimes the plants show growth of “suckers” popping up beside the main trunk – when the plant is grafted, these suckers can also develop below the graft. Suckers are exactly what their name suggests, “useless suckers” that won't develop any flowers and subsequent fruit for the future – get rid of them! When the plant gets into the ripening phase, some sap-sucking invertebrates can do some damage: MealyBugs, Aphids, whitefly, and scale insects. Grab a Neem Oil or Conqueror Oil and smack them every fortnight. Enjoy this fruit! Yes, it can be a bit messy, but hey! Try it out! LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem, the podcast edition -- featuring this weeks' guest, show favorite Ed Laivo, known to the Interwebs as Ed Able of Ed Able Solutions -- which is the name of his YouTube channel of many years. The subject? Fruit Trees! Ed is an expert on this subject, and on citrus in particular. Today Edie and Ed discussed among other things the trend toward summer pruning to keep trees lower; in addition to keeping the fruit where you can reach it, keeping your trees to 7 feet or below also enables putting a grow cover over them to disrupt pests at key times, and causes the trees to require less water -- without materially affecting production volume. Ed works with a number of growers and nurseries in the California central valley, and recently re-wrote the "Back Yard Orchard Culture" feature on Dave Wilson Nursery's web site (the first time that article was updated in many years).

Therefore, we need to make sure we plant low chill fruit trees.What are the three non-negotiables when buying fruit trees for the low desert?Choose low-chill varieties, ensure the correct rootstock for desert conditions, and select soft-flesh fruit that ripens before July 1.What are the most common ways people accidentally kill fruit trees?Planting in hot microclimates, allowing grass to compete with roots, and relying on shallow daily drip irrigation.How should fruit trees actually be watered in the desert?Deep, infrequent watering—about once a month in winter and every 10–14 days in summer—allowing soil to dry between waterings.Why are bare root trees preferred for deciduous fruit?They're planted while dormant, establish faster, and adapt better long-term than potted trees when planted correctly.How long does it take for a fruit tree to really produce?Year one focuses on roots, year two on shoots, year three begins fruiting, and years four to five bring full production.Episode HighlightsFruit trees thrive when planted for climate, not convenienceCitrus can be harvested across six months with smart variety selectionThe Six-Six Basin Rule dramatically improves survival and growthDesert soil must be rebuilt with organic matter and biologyOverwatering and under watering look the same—but both can kill treesBare root planting in January sets trees up for lifelong successA single well-planted tree can produce for 50–100 yearsCalls to Action & ResourcesUrban Farm Fruit Tree Program — https://www.fruittrees.orgFree Desert Fruit Tree Master Course — https://www.fruittrees.orgQuestions or tree photos...

Once, Switzerland was a land of pears.When we picture the Swiss countryside today, we imagine tidy fields, precision farming, and alpine order. But not so long ago, vast stretches of eastern Switzerland were covered in towering pear trees - ancient giants that fed communities, sustained wildlife, and produced perry renowned across Europe.So how did a nation famed for care, balance, and cultivation come to destroy eleven million fruit trees in the space of a generation?Join John and Patrick as they unravel one of the strangest and most unsettling episodes in modern agricultural history: the deliberate, state-sponsored destruction of Switzerland's perry orchards. From temperance panics and alcohol laws to bureaucrats with axes, propaganda films, and the cult of “modern” efficiency, this is a story of progress turned destructive - and of a drink, a landscape, and a culture quietly erased.Was this modernization… or cultural vandalism? And what was lost when the last great pear trees fell?----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discusses strategies for maximizing hunting success through effective land management and habitat improvement. He shares insights on deer behavior, the importance of soil and water management, and the need for biodiversity in ecosystems. The conversation emphasizes the significance of understanding the dynamics of the landscape and creating productive environments for wildlife. takeaways Deer behavior is influenced by environmental conditions and hunting culture. Understanding the pecking order among deer can aid in hunting strategies. Quality management of deer populations involves monitoring age classes and ratios. Designing landscapes for hunting requires a holistic approach to ecology. Soil health and water management are critical for productive habitats. Biodiversity enhances ecosystem resilience and supports wildlife. Natural methods of land management can yield better results than chemical interventions. Creating organized chaos in landscapes can benefit wildlife habitats. Simpler management systems can be more effective than complex monocultures. Engaging with the community and sharing knowledge can enhance hunting success.
