I have a question for you. It will be a long post, but I would appreciate your opinion so much. Several years ago, I bought two peach trees and babied them until they were ready to bear fruit. Last year, I had a lung infection which took a lot of recovery time. I did not prune my trees. Then, this spring, the trees were LOADED! I wanted to prop up the branches, but my husband was very busy and we went away one weekend to a meeting and it stormed-
bad-while we were gone. We returned to find that several of the main branches were broken, though not broken completely off. I left them on, just to see what would happen and to spare the tree any shock. We harvested the small fruits (from where I had not pruned last winter) and let the trees grow on. Over the course of the summer, many water sprouts grew on one tree especially and I have already cut some of them of them off. I've read enough to know that any injury like that causes many water sprouts to grow as the tree tries to offset the loss of limbs. I just want to help the tree grow into a strong, healthy tree after this setback and I'm wondering the best way to do that. Will the water sprouts ever be useful to the tree? Thank you so much! -

Great instructional video, thank you. Question: I've been told not to fertilize my new five foot Granny Smith Apple trees when I plant them. However, I see you fertilized your tree so I'm wondering whether or not I should fertilze my apple trees when I plant them...?

Ah man don't fertilize a newly planted tree. Great soil you have!

I wouldn't be brave enough to cut the roots and branches so significantly. But you appear to be very knowledgeable and know what you are doing. Thanks for this video. Hope you can post an update on how the tree is doing.

Need to find a new camera man.

It works better if you pour the fungi into the water that the roots were in for 1 hour. I also plan on planting all my fruit trees in hugelkultur beds and hugelkultur forest floors that are at least 12" high after waiting 6 months for the floor and beds to settle. By then there will be plenty of mycelium colonization throughout the bed and floor as I incorporate plenty of woody materials including wood chips.
