Tips, Tricks
Charles Malki, Biologist & Plant Expert from http://ivorganics.com/ provides a tour of a fruit orchard planted approximately 10 years ago in Walnut Creek, California -- A "Bay Area" City with a USDA Growing Zone 9B. Generally, the higher your growing zone number, the greater the diversity of plants that you can grow. In this video you will see the many fruit trees that have performed consistently well in the backyard orchard of this Walnut Creek resident. In this video, Charles Malki discusses (1) the diversity of fruit trees that can be grown in growing zone 9(B), (2) the importance of cross pollination for fruit trees, (3) sunburn and sunscald damaged trees, (4) how to properly stake and support a tree, (5) when and how to apply IV Organics 3-in-1 Tree Guard Paint, (6) poor pruning techniques, and much more!

Mr Charles I didn't know you can eat the whole fruit of green almond.When my almond tree give me fruit again I will try it. You have very big yard there in Walnut Creek must be rare ? I'm practically your neighbor, I live in Hercules I'm starting to plants 🌱 more fruit trees 🌲 in my yard. I'd planted almost 30 trees in ground & about 40 in I guess 30 gallons pots last 3 months.Some are rare citrus 🍊. My kumquat are the side of lemon 🍋. Lemon side of orange 🍊also some tropical. Hope the tropical 🌴 live through this winter ❄️. I'm waiting for January to get bare roots stone fruit trees 🌲 and more tropical 🌴. Lowe's sale them so it must grow

Can you talk more to the water requirements I'm in Oakland so we probably won't require that much but how much does a Lemontree require a week I'm kind of unlimited water resources. Great video very informative thank you I have a few trees that will benefit from that paint
