If you live in the milder areas of the country, November is an excellent month for planting and establishing shade trees. Today, we cover the basics of correctly planting and caring for a shade tree. We chat with consulting arborist Gordon Mann, who reminds us, when it comes to choosing a spot to plant a shade tree, it's all about the soil. Hmm, where have I heard that before?Plus, he explains the importance of correct planting techniques, especially freeing up that tree's root zone.But there's a lot more. As Gordon will explain, raising a tree is much like raising a child. It takes years of diligence on your part to see good results. Both fall and spring are excellent for tree planting, Gordon Mann's advice on planting and caring for a shade tree bears repeating, here on Episode 365, Fall is For Shade Tree Planting.We're podcasting from Barking Dog Studios here in the beautiful Abutilon Jungle in Suburban Purgatory, it's the Garden Basics with Farmer Fred podcast, brought to you today by Smart Pots and Dave Wilson Nursery.

I never expected that my degree in Forestry from Wageningen University would come in handy at this late stage of my life.  Thank you, Jack!  Pruning plants in the garden is something that most gardeners can learn reasonably quickly. Yes, there will be some mistakes along the way, but hey! That's how you gain experience.  Hedges are the next stage up in competence – they are often large plants (or really small trees). The key to pruning hedges is to do it relatively frequently – say 3 times per year or even more. Every time to take a bit off the hedge, you cut the terminal buds off (the buds at the end of a twig or branch). This in itself causes the lateral buds, a little bit lower down, to grow out and take over from the terminal buds.  In the case of hedge plants, this will make them a lot more dense, especially if a few lateral buds will grow out at different levels, taking over from that one terminal bud you just removed.  Pruning trees is based on similar botanical systems, but tackling that big stuff requires a course or three in arboriculture, safety and balance.  Some trees are pretty easy to tackle: your plane tree is a great example. Go and visit Franklin Road in Auckland and you'll see how you can pollard those monsters every few years by cutting them back to the required height, and keep them there for decades to come; the same with the willows in the Netherlands.  Pohutukawa are different again; they can be trimmed in a few ways. I saw an elaborate pruning gig going on at Ngapipi Road (off Tamaki drive), whereby a substantial pohutukawa was pruned like a hedge (no doubt complaints about interrupted views from the locals on the opposite side of the road).  That might do the trick, but a pohutukawa is not naturally a dense hedge. Usually, it looks like a rather open tree with lots of space for birds to fly through.  This is the way you maintain that open tree configuration: cut a few branches out of the middle and pick them at various heights so it doesn't look too bland and butchered.  Remember, every tree has its own “natural” look. It pays to trim it in such a way that it will maintain that look.  Here is a schematic picture of how I would suggest pruning such trees and keep them looking good.  1) It's always best to start pruning a tree early; the smaller the wound, the faster it heals, and there is less reactive growth.  2) When you want to reduce a tree, it's best to start when it's approx 1-2 meters taller than you want it.  3) If trees are important in your garden and in your life, sniff out an experienced arborist who loves the trees just as much as you do. Look for arborists that are members of the NZArb association - It's probably best to avoid having work done by someone who comes door-knocking.  4) Spend some time running through the way the job will be executed; you can make it “arty”.  5) Have a chat to the neighbours about what the plans are and why (privacy, biodiversity, bird food).  6) Take the day of the “operation” off work and be part of the team as much as possible.  Honestly: it's the way to achieve the best possible outcome for your garden, the trees, the planet!  “Thinning” Photo / ISA (International Society of Arboriculture)  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was my fault.   One of those things that came about because of whole lot of factors, but which can ultimately be boiled down to doing too much at once. Work, family, life. I was too stretched. Too stressed. And something gave.   But why did it have to be the trees?  This will sound really crazy, but I only realised afterwards that maybe the single-biggest reason I bought my home, was the trees.  We've got a section that slowly slopes down, so the backyard is at a lower level than the main living area. It means you would step in off the street, walk into the main living area on the top storey, and suddenly be eye-to-eye with a huge wall of green.  A jacaranda, a plane tree, a karaka and a pohutakawa, all of them probably decades old, and with enough thickness in the coverage that you couldn't see beyond them.   I would step out of Auckland, the noise and the traffic, and into this perfect green sanctuary. A cocoon. Tui, blackbirds, piwaka, they loved it.   The problem with a perfect green canopy with no light passing through is my neighbour noticed no light was passing through. She asked if we could prune the trees. Just to let some morning light through. They must have been almost twenty metres high.   I wanted to do the neighbourly thing. A lovely guy came around and surveyed the canopy.   “We'll do it on Thursday.” he said.  I think it was a communication thing, which is another reason why I take the blame. If anyone should be able to communicate, it's the professional communicator, right? But my wife and I were at work all day, and by the time we got home, it was done.   The trees weren't just pruned, they were pruned. Metres taken out of them, right across the top. A straight, brutal cut. Like a bowl cut, but for trees. With all of thickest green canopy, the leaves that provided such a dense, rich canopy, the favourite branches for tui and the piwakawaka, gone.   I walked into my lounge, where previously I'd stare out at a wall of green. I stared out at a wall of houses. I looked at the stumps of the branches, and I felt tears prick in my eyes.   My wife didn't hold back. She walked in the front door, looked at the trees and tears streamed down her face. The neighbour was delighted at how much light was now passing through.    Two nights have passed. Both nights I've had broken sleep, lying there thinking about the trees. My wife isn't much better. She said she felt we damaged their wairua.   I can rationalise it. The trees aren't dead. And I do know they'll grow back. It may even be that their prune encourages rich, fulsome, rapid new growth. And when there are more leaves and coverage instead of stumpy branches, it'll be a whole lot less brutal. But no amount of fertiliser or hugs can really speed up the process. We're looking at years before they are back to where they were.   And honestly, I feel terrible about it. I feel stupid. I feel guilty, and I feel grief.   Yeah. I grieve for my trees.   I know that in the future I'll laugh about it, but right now it is a very painful lesson. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is all about winter fruit tree pruning - seems daunting but is actually really not! We were fortunate enough to attend a workshop hosted by Secret Gardens and run by Greg Quinn from Home Orchard Care and we learned SO MUCH! As always we also share what we've been up to in the garden, what we're going to get up to and plants we want to buy.https://www.ccc.govt.nz/assets/Documents/Environment/Sustainability/AppleTreesSuitableforCanterbury2015.pdfhttps://www.southlandcommunitynursery.org.nz/restoring-your-patch/get-growing/cuttings/https://www.instagram.com/homeorchardcare/

In this episode, Kenneth and Katie sit down with Delvin Navarro of Navarro Coffee farms and Hawaiian Monarch Coffee located on 'The Big Island' in Hawaii. They discuss how pruning impacts the way coffee grows, how it is harvested and the way it tastes. Delvin also explains what the Beaumont-Fukunaga cycle pruning system is and how some coffee growers use it.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Pruning can make a big difference in coffee cherry yield and quality.  More trees annually die from improper pruning than pests or disease. The Beaumont Fukunaga system ensures there is never a break in production. It can increase productiveness by 20%. Composting the pruning waste is a popular approach.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We have an 8 to 10 months season out here in Hawaii.” ‘Every farmer has a different practice.'   GUEST RESOURCES Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hawaiianmonarchcoffee/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/navarrocoffeefarm/   VALUABLE RESOURCES Award-winning single-origin specialty coffee:https://umblecoffee.com/ You're disciplined and high achieving.

I really dislike topics like these because information changes so quickly, and depending on the study you read, the answers can seem very contrary. Still, I get asked about sanitizing equipment and tree wounds a good bit. So, here is my best effort to help with concepts I have found to work for my clients based on the information that I have found in my person investigations. Please know that this is not an all encompassing episode, and that you should do your own research based on the concepts discussed in this episode via the forestry agencies, Arboriculture departments of universities, and the ISA.

Being at home during the Covid 19 pandemic has given way to many homeowners tackling yard work projects to get through this period of isolation and social distancing. One of the bigger tasks includes tree care and pruning them.Before you begin it's important to know the when to prune and thinking about why you're doing it. Things like reducing the size, reshaping  or something else? As homeowners, it's important to think through why you need to prune a tree, how you're going to do it and when.While some pruning tasks are well suited for a homeowner, there comes a point when you need to seek the help of a tree care professional. With the current economy and many people being out of work, more and more homeowners are hoping to take care of the work themselves though these uncertain economic times.Joining us  to help understand some basics of tree pruning is Kurt Stenberg, tree care professional and owner of Cochrane Tree Care.

Tree pruning can be expensive, especially if it's a large tree. I explore ways to save money on tree pruning. - Firstly don't just go for the first companies you see to get quotes. You are seeing them first because they are paying a premium to be there in some cases so you might be choosing between 3 expensive quotes. - Secondly get more than 1 quote. A good number is 3. You won't really save much by getting 4 or more. - Hire in the offseason. Tree surgeons are quiet in winter and generally give cheaper quotes to win the work. Be smart and hire in the offseason. - Get 3 quotes from go tree quotes: https://www.gotreequotes.com.au/form-tree-pruning/ We match with registered qualified and insured tree experts who have been voted as best priced by previous users. Getting quotes from the best and cheapest is a sure fire way to save money. - Do everything you can to allow good access to the tree. If the tree is in a backyard and you don't have good rear access, maybe your neighbor does. As if you can take out a panel of fence for them to get better access. - Remove as obstacles from around the tree, that includes ornamental plants around the base. The quicker the tree expert can get the tree on the ground and in the back of their truck, the less money it is going to cost you.

This episode originally aired April 15, 2016. Proper fruit tree pruning Russ Metge from  (http://www.simplytreesut.blogspot.com/)  is here to share his journey as a business owner where he does’t just prune trees but also educates his clients on the importance of proper fruit tree pruning in Salt Lake City, UT. Russ Metge is a professional Horticulturist with a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from Brigham Young U-Idaho. He is a husband and father of four. He owns and operates  www.simplytreesut.blogspot.com (http://www.simplytreesut.blogspot.com/) (https://www.facebook.com/simplytreesut/) I was listening to our episode (https://organicgardenerpodcast.com/?p=1462) and it’s funny cause you can hear my daughter playing in the background. It’s a great episodes (https://organicgardenerpodcast.com/?p=1462) since I first started. Tell us a little about yourself. So last time, I was father of 3 daughters expecting a fourth and now I’m a father of 4 daughters. probably the biggest change since last year. I own an operate a business in Salt Lake City where I pruned and care for people with fruit trees, mostly with a backyard orchard, a list of clients that I pruned for year after year after. I love my job! Not many people can say they love their job but I’m definitely one of them. Tell us about your first gardening experience? I don’t have a first experience. I’ve been around gardens since I was  little kid. I do remember as a child, spending a lot of time in trees, just climbing trees. I have 4 brothers, and a sister, too  both sides of me, one that’s al little bit older and brother a little bit younger, spent  a lot of time climbing trees, lots of mature apple trees as a kid, catch honey bees in jars… see how many fit in a jar… Really? Yeah, just doing the typical boy thing. Weren’t worried they’re gonna sting ya? I just heard people worrying about that the other day. I got out by our honey bees and never worry about getting stung. I got stung several times throughout the summer, running around bare foot, stepping on a dandelion in the grass that had a bee on it, getting stung by a honeybee, just part of growing up for me. We were careful, we would just turn the jar upside down and the  bees would fly upward. What’s interesting. I just remember when the trees were in bloom they were just humming with bees, every single blossom had a bee on it. We have a few apricots trees starting to bloom here in SLC, and I seldomly see a honeybee… it’s kind of sad how it’s changed over the years. Now adays with all the pesticides and everything it’s definitely affected the bee population. I have seen that and experienced it first hand! Maybe we can talk about what we can do to help the bees, you were saying that it’s raining is not a good time to prune. There’s a lot of pest control, even organic gardeners have to do, it’s just different. Good Cultural Practices for Fruit Tree Pruning Care The first and most important part of making sure your trees is making sure your tree is not susceptible to pests is to have good cultural practices: is make sure your tree has plenty of water gets plenty of sunlight remove the lawn from the base of the tree. make sure that your tree is as healthy as can be So it is make sure your tree has plenty of water, make sure your tree is planted in a location in your garden in a place where it gets plenty of sunlight, it’s important to make sure that you remove the lawn from the base of the tree. A lot of my customers plant their tree in the middle of the lawn, which is not a bad thing. Lawn mowers and string trimmers come and are damaging the bark and so there are a lot of things you can do to make sure that your tree is as healthy as can be. I actully have one customer of mine, I pruned for the very first time, that I pruned for last year and he... Support this podcast

This was my first interview with the awesome Russ Metge who is always so generous with his knowledge of fruit tree care and pruning back on Mar 25, 2015. Proper fruit tree pruning Russ Metge from (http://www.simplytreesut.blogspot.com/)  is here to share his journey as a business owner where he does’t just prune trees but also educates his clients on the importance of proper  fruit tree pruning in Salt Lake City, UT. Russ Metge is a professional Horticulturist with a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from Brigham Young U-Idaho. He is a husband and father of three, with a fourth child on the way. He owns and operates  www.simplytreesut.blogspot.com (http://www.simplytreesut.blogspot.com/) Tell me about your first gardening experience? Mom always had a garden, came from gardening family… grandmother. What does organic gardening/earth friendly mean to you? Gardening is organic, putting seeds in the ground the whole process is organic so instead of using lots of chemical pesticides and fertilizers your making a more sustainable way of growing plants. Pesticides are kinda like drugs for your garden, and then your garden becomes dependent on them to get the same results. Organic is working with nature and more sustainable. Link to Rodale Farm Trial Who or what inspired you to start using organic techniques? Not how Russ grew up. When in school, getting horticulture degree. Don’t necessarily dive in deep on any one subject, get a general idea on how plants grow, landscaped design, floral design etc. “Integrative pest management” – uses a combination of methods to keep pests under control in your garden. Tree pruning for organic gardening Important to prune fruit trees every year. By pruning trees it minimizes the need for pest control. A tree that hasn’t been pruned in years, will have broken branches, fire blight and other diseases, and they are so thick of branches which make a great hiding place for pests. Birds can’t get into eat as many insects in an overgrown tree. Lots of fungus that attack fruit trees like powdery mildew and other fungus in the garden is to ensure that the leaves stay dry.It also helps cut out dead and dying diseased branches that stimulate new growth for future years. Prune in winter or early spring before leaves Check out his  8-step method  (http://www.simplytreesut.blogspot.com/p/pruning.html) on his blog as well as biology and why the tree reacts to what your doing what your doing. Start Now. It’s an investment that’s gonna take some time and take a while to get them established. Fruit cocktail trees have more then one fruit on them, multiple apples or peach, plum, apricot etc. Most fruit trees can be grown in a pot. Espalier fruit trees where you grow it up against a wall or a fence. Columnar apple tree that grows straight up which are very prolific. Do recommend buying fruit trees with bare roots. Lots of problems can come from being in the pot. A favorite tool that you like to use? If you had to move and could only take one tool with you what would it be. Pruning saw – has a curved blade with teeth that can cut through large branches. Love hand pruners, could use the saw if I had to. Big loppers two handed shears, can’t climb a tree or carry on a ladder. Climbing a tree is much safer, then using a ladder because you eventually start reaching and you are more likely to fall. Pole pruner – extendable pole that goes about 15 feet – with a rope that has a bypass cutting blade that will reach out to taller branches. Occasionally use a chain saw. Want to keep tree small enough that you can reach fruit from a 6 foot ladder. Eating or harvesting fruit on time?  When it’s time to harvest its time to harvest. If you wait a little longer fruit can be sweeter but then you can be competing with other animals like birds, suggest that... Support this podcast
