Inspect and Maintain Fruit Trees

trees so let's look at this tree together what you seeing what I see may be two different things here and what a true professional orchard owner might see may be totally different than what I see or any of us see so let's take a look at a couple trees right here this tree right here if you see down here these limbs are undesirable they're growing out there kind of criss crossing over top of each other and what we want to do is establish two or three major branches and right here we would probably choose this one this one and this one is our major branches and we get rid of this this and this let's go to another tree now here we have an example of what we don't want also see this limb it's about to cross over this limb we again want three two or three major branches on our trees and you can see here the deer have gotten to that one so we'll cut this guy off we'll cut this guy off and we also have an issue here so see how these two limbs are touching criss crossing over one another we got to get rid of one of those okay the most likely candidate to get rid of is going to be this guy right here so we want to take the tree back to have three major branches now here we have a tree that we planted this year we planted it about a month ago okay let me show you something that you might not know three things that you may not know about these new trees first thing you may not know this is a piece of rebar this piece of rebar is to keep the deer from scraping the tree up the deer will hit that rebar and they won't scrape the tree when they get their horns in there on this rebar they won't scrape the tree up with their horns now we got a limb right here see how it grows straight out this has to go because if it ever gets any weight out here it's just bend and snap so this one needs to go you want your lambs to grow out and up like this okay this limb needs to go to and the third thing is you see that piece of pipe right there that piece of pipe needs to go around the tree so that rabbits don't eat the bark off your tree and it also helps to deter deer you got to have it I didn't put it on the trees before we had some rabbits come in here and decimate our trees we lost like 15 of them folks there's a lot more science to this than I can explain but we'll come out here in the orchard sometime in a future vlog and we'll show you exactly how we're going to trim our trees up we're just going to get in here and we want to thin them out probably don't want to do this every…
