Biting into a juicy
fruit from your orchard
00:08.441 --> 00:10.377 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
is a great reward
for a gardener,
00:10.377 --> 00:12.679 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
but often fruits have problems.
00:12.679 --> 00:15.915 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Today we are answering viewer
questions about tree fruits.
00:15.915 --> 00:18.718 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
It's a fruity Q&A
show, just ahead
00:18.718 --> 00:22.389 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%

00:45.645 --> 00:47.147 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- Welcome to The Family Plot.
00:47.147 --> 00:48.415 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
I'm Chris Cooper.
00:48.415 --> 00:49.716 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
Over the past year or so,
00:49.716 --> 00:52.986 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
we have received many viewer
questions about tree fruits.
00:52.986 --> 00:55.588 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We have not had a chance
to show you all of them.
00:55.588 --> 00:57.457 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Since it's winter and
there's not much to do
00:57.457 --> 00:58.725 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
in the garden right now,
00:58.725 --> 01:01.094 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
we thought we'd spend
some time catching up.
01:01.094 --> 01:02.996 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Hopefully some of these
answers will help you
01:02.996 --> 01:04.731 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
with your fruit next year.
01:04.731 --> 01:06.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Let's start with a
question about peaches.
01:09.269 --> 01:12.305 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
"What would you do with a
peach tree with gummosis?"
01:12.305 --> 01:14.474 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And this is Mary from
Crossville, Tennessee.
01:14.474 --> 01:16.543 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Celeste, so what would
you do with peach trees
01:16.543 --> 01:18.011 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
that have gummosis?
01:18.011 --> 01:21.314 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
- Well, I would encourage
her to go out there
01:21.314 --> 01:24.551 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
and look at the
trunk of the tree,
01:24.551 --> 01:27.887 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
and let's verify what
exactly is happening.
01:27.887 --> 01:31.991 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
Gummosis is a real thing
that could happen on its own,
01:31.991 --> 01:33.359 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
right?
- Right.
01:33.359 --> 01:35.528 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
- But it sounds more
likely that she might be
01:35.528 --> 01:39.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
having an issue with
borers, and when they bore,
01:41.134 --> 01:44.270 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
then sometimes we'll
have oozing of, you know,
01:44.270 --> 01:48.475 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that gummy substance, and so
it can look like gummosis,
01:48.475 --> 01:51.678 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but maybe the actual,
maybe that's a secondary,
01:51.678 --> 01:53.713 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
right, issue, and
maybe the root cause
01:55.115 --> 01:57.217 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
is peach tree borers, 'cause
it's peach trees, right?
01:57.217 --> 01:58.351 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
- Right, it's peach trees.
01:58.351 --> 01:59.986 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- So there you go, yeah.
- Could be, yep.
01:59.986 --> 02:02.055 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- I think that would
be a very likely cause,
02:02.055 --> 02:06.659 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and I get this call, you know,
all the time in the spring
02:06.659 --> 02:08.795 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
when trees start
coming out of dormancy
02:08.795 --> 02:10.864 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and their juices start to flow,
02:10.864 --> 02:14.167 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and people wanna know
what is all of this stuff
02:14.167 --> 02:16.102 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
coming outta my plants?
02:16.102 --> 02:18.905 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
It can be kind of a
horror movie looking,
02:18.905 --> 02:20.440 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
you know, kind of scenario.
02:20.440 --> 02:21.741 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
But definitely go
out there and look,
02:21.741 --> 02:23.576 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
because, you know,
treatment for those
02:23.576 --> 02:24.811 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
is gonna be different.
02:24.811 --> 02:27.180 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
If it's borers,
then we need to look
02:27.180 --> 02:30.717 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
at what we can do to
control the borers.
02:30.717 --> 02:34.154 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
If it's gummosis, then
there's really not a lot
02:34.154 --> 02:35.655 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
that we can do.
02:35.655 --> 02:38.758 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Generally that was caused,
you know, from damage maybe
02:38.758 --> 02:40.226 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
that happened to the trunk.
02:40.226 --> 02:43.730 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It could be through a number
of different types of stresses,
02:43.730 --> 02:46.599 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
environmental, you know,
freeze and thaw cracks
02:46.599 --> 02:49.068 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
or mechanical injury to the tree
02:49.068 --> 02:50.670 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
or different things like this.
02:52.105 --> 02:54.307 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And then when that
injury happens,
02:54.307 --> 02:56.809 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
then that gummosis
starts to flow out,
02:56.809 --> 02:58.912 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and there's just nothing
you can really do
02:58.912 --> 03:01.114 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to rectify that
type of situation.
03:01.114 --> 03:03.383 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- You're right, you know,
outside of trying to prune,
03:03.383 --> 03:04.784 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
you know, possibly, you know?
- Yeah.
03:04.784 --> 03:06.186 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Well, and I mean,
sometimes it's, yeah,
03:06.186 --> 03:07.720 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
it's one of those things
that could be insect,
03:07.720 --> 03:08.955 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
it could be physiological.
03:08.955 --> 03:10.657 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
There could even
be some diseases.
03:10.657 --> 03:11.991 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
There could even be some canker.
03:11.991 --> 03:14.527 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So yeah, close
inspection, good pictures,
03:14.527 --> 03:17.497 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
and then direct from there.
03:17.497 --> 03:18.665 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- And I see it actually, I mean,
03:18.665 --> 03:20.867 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
I see it most
often on the trunks
03:20.867 --> 03:22.302 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
of trees, and I mean-
- I do too, right, yeah.
03:22.302 --> 03:23.870 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- At that point, like,
can't prune your trunk off.
03:23.870 --> 03:25.305 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- You can't prune your trunk.
03:25.305 --> 03:26.873 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
I mean, you could do a prune,
but it'd be [whooshes].
03:26.873 --> 03:28.408 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
- Right, right.
- Be one cut.
03:28.408 --> 03:29.909 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- It'd be one cut, one cut.
- Yeah, one cut.
03:29.909 --> 03:32.212 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
But yeah, if it's in, you
know, upper, you know, limbs,
03:32.212 --> 03:33.846 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
branches and things like
that, I mean, pruning
03:33.846 --> 03:36.115 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
is an option.
- Well, and that whole family,
03:36.115 --> 03:37.750 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
you know, it's a challenge.
- Oh, yes, the Prunus,
03:37.750 --> 03:39.018 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the whole family, yeah.
- The family, yeah, yeah.
03:39.018 --> 03:40.653 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
- Yeah, for sure,
so it's gonna be,
03:41.654 --> 03:44.824 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
they're gonna have issues
anyway, right, so yeah.
03:44.824 --> 03:46.960 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Get out, Ms. Mary, and
inspect, all right?
03:46.960 --> 03:48.962 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Hope that helps you out.
- Yeah, look for little holes
03:48.962 --> 03:50.196 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
in the trunk, yeah.
- Yeah, look for
03:50.196 --> 03:51.331 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the little holes,
yeah, you'll see it.
03:51.331 --> 03:53.900 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
[gentle country music]
03:55.268 --> 03:56.869 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
"I am helping my neighbor.
03:56.869 --> 04:00.473 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
"Her peach tree has
peach leaf curl.
04:00.473 --> 04:01.708 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
"The tree already has fruit
04:01.708 --> 04:03.643 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
"about the size of
my little fingertip.
04:03.643 --> 04:05.111 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
"I have researched the disease.
04:05.111 --> 04:07.580 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
"However, everything I've found
04:07.580 --> 04:11.384 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
"is for preventive care,
fungicides twice a year.
04:11.384 --> 04:14.454 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
"The products I have found
warn against using them
04:14.454 --> 04:16.489 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
"once the tree blossoms.
04:16.489 --> 04:19.459 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
What can I use to get
rid of peach leaf curl?"
04:19.459 --> 04:23.229 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And this is Charlie from
San Jose, California, right?
04:23.229 --> 04:25.531 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So there's a little research,
you know, that went into that.
04:25.531 --> 04:27.667 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
So we know it's peach leaf curl.
04:27.667 --> 04:29.302 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
- Yep, and they-
04:29.302 --> 04:31.638 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- But how do we get rid of it?
- And she told us the answer.
04:31.638 --> 04:33.339 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- Yeah, yeah, how about that?
04:33.339 --> 04:34.907 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Or Charlie, Charlie.
- Charlie.
04:34.907 --> 04:36.309 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Charlie, he told
us the answer.
04:38.111 --> 04:40.513 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Once you've got the
disease, unfortunately,
04:42.015 --> 04:45.785 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
most of the time, you
can't get rid of it.
04:45.785 --> 04:47.387 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
The only thing--
- I knew you were gonna
04:47.387 --> 04:48.888 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
say that.
- That you can hope to do
04:48.888 --> 04:50.390 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
is prevent it from spreading.
04:50.390 --> 04:51.557 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
- I knew you were
gonna say that.
04:51.557 --> 04:56.729 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
- And you can prune,
do some pruning,
04:57.897 --> 05:00.099 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
summer pruning to
get rid of that.
05:00.099 --> 05:02.101 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
But to prevent it
from happening,
05:02.101 --> 05:05.438 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
you do need to use the
fungicide at the right time.
05:05.438 --> 05:07.607 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And really with peach tree curl,
05:07.607 --> 05:10.743 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
only one application
is all that's required.
05:10.743 --> 05:13.079 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
You can either do it in the fall
05:13.079 --> 05:16.949 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
after leaf has
dropped off that tree
05:16.949 --> 05:19.485 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and do a really,
really, really good job
05:19.485 --> 05:22.322 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
of spraying the bark, making
sure you spray the bark
05:22.322 --> 05:25.758 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and twigs and get very,
very good coverage.
05:25.758 --> 05:29.495 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Or you can do it in early
spring before bud break.
05:29.495 --> 05:34.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And you're probably gonna
have a better opportunity
05:34.233 --> 05:36.703 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
in the fall after
the leaves drop
05:36.703 --> 05:38.604 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of getting the
weather conditions
05:38.604 --> 05:41.107 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that will allow you to have
that fungicide stay on there
05:41.107 --> 05:43.242 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and not get washed off-
- Right, that's the key.
05:43.242 --> 05:44.877 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Than you will
in the springtime.
05:44.877 --> 05:46.112 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- It's the weather.
- You know, right before
05:46.112 --> 05:48.314 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
bud break because you spray it
and then it washes it off.
05:48.314 --> 05:49.515 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Right, right.
- And you're like,
05:49.515 --> 05:51.451 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
"Well, did I kill
the fungi," you know?
05:52.752 --> 05:54.220 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%

know, it won't be a problem.
05:58.758 --> 06:01.160 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And you know, there
are a lot of fungicides
06:01.160 --> 06:04.364 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
that will do the trick,
chlorothalonil, ziram,
06:04.364 --> 06:07.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
ferbam, fixed copper, bordeaux.
06:07.133 --> 06:09.402 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
You know, there's
a lot of fungicides
06:09.402 --> 06:13.673 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
that will do the trick, but
that will be the only way
06:13.673 --> 06:16.676 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that you will not have
that problem in the future.
06:16.676 --> 06:18.878 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Okay, but yeah.
- But once you've got,
06:18.878 --> 06:23.316 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
most diseases, once
you've got that disease,
06:23.316 --> 06:27.887 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
it stays there,
and your best hope
06:27.887 --> 06:29.856 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
is to prevent it from spreading.
06:29.856 --> 06:32.358 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Your best hope is to prevent
it from ever occurring,
06:32.358 --> 06:34.694 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and that's why we
go with preventative
06:34.694 --> 06:36.896 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
fungicide applications.
- That's right.
06:36.896 --> 06:38.898 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- And that's why, you
know, that's why we go,
06:38.898 --> 06:42.502 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
we use cover sprays on fruits,
06:42.502 --> 06:47.507 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and that's why cover
sprays on pecans
06:48.841 --> 06:51.244 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and then on roses and
whatever, you know, whatever.
06:51.244 --> 06:54.680 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It's timing and then
putting the right product
06:54.680 --> 06:55.982 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
out there at the right time.
06:55.982 --> 06:57.817 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- And those preventative
fungicides, again,
06:57.817 --> 06:59.852 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
could be the ones you
just listed for us,
06:59.852 --> 07:00.953 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
right?
- Right.
07:00.953 --> 07:02.688 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- The fixed coppers
and chlorothalonil.
07:02.688 --> 07:04.891 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- Right, just check the label.
- Check the label.
07:04.891 --> 07:07.026 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- The disease will
be on the label
07:07.026 --> 07:08.761 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%

07:30.750 --> 07:33.352 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- Yeah, I think we can tell
her what the problem is,
07:33.352 --> 07:36.422 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
but it's really hard
to control the disease
07:36.422 --> 07:39.025 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
called bacterial spot.
- Oh, yes it is.
07:39.025 --> 07:41.360 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
- In the homeowner situation.
- Yes, it is.
07:41.360 --> 07:42.562 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
- If she's a big orchard grower,
07:42.562 --> 07:44.197 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
you know, there's
chemicals and things,
07:44.197 --> 07:47.366 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
but it's hard, but we
think it's bacterial spot
07:47.366 --> 07:49.335 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
from the pictures
and the description,
07:49.335 --> 07:51.237 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
'cause it'll have a little
shot hole where the-
07:51.237 --> 07:53.372 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
- Exactly.
- The tissue would die out,
07:53.372 --> 07:55.508 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and it'll be little
holes through the leaves.
07:55.508 --> 07:57.176 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
and I think we saw that
07:57.176 --> 07:58.678 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
on the leaves.
- We definitely saw that
07:58.678 --> 08:00.279 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and those leaves, of course
look tattered and torn.
08:00.279 --> 08:03.316 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and you can get,
08:03.316 --> 08:05.685 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
not to say that you couldn't
probably save that one,
08:05.685 --> 08:09.455 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but what you can do is
to maybe prune it out,
08:09.455 --> 08:12.391 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
open it up a little bit so
that it will dry quickly
08:12.391 --> 08:13.626 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
when you have wet weather
08:13.626 --> 08:17.263 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
because it is a
bacterial infection.
08:17.263 --> 08:20.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And you can use
resistant varieties
08:20.066 --> 08:23.703 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
if this one does
pass on to glory.
08:23.703 --> 08:27.240 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There's some cultivars that are
resistant to bacterial spot,
08:27.240 --> 08:28.708 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
when I did a little research.
08:28.708 --> 08:30.209 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
And one of 'em is
The Belle of Georgia,
08:30.209 --> 08:32.979 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
which is an old, old variety
and Southaven and Redhaven.
08:32.979 --> 08:34.213 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
- Yeah, I know both of those.
08:34.213 --> 08:38.217 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
- And those are just a
few, but remove debris,
08:38.217 --> 08:39.952 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
the leaves when they fall.
- Yeah, good sanitation.
08:39.952 --> 08:41.454 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- Get rid of all of that,
08:41.454 --> 08:43.656 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
because you know, you've got
the spores of the bacteria
08:43.656 --> 08:44.891 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
in that, so.
- That's right,
08:44.891 --> 08:47.460 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and it's tough.
- Yeah, it it's hard, yeah.
08:47.460 --> 08:49.996 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- It's gonna be tough, resistant
varieties, yeah, pruning.
08:49.996 --> 08:52.765 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- Maybe if you can get rid
of all of it this winter
08:52.765 --> 08:55.535 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and put fresh mulch,
prune it out, you know,
08:55.535 --> 08:57.103 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
while it's dormant.
- Good air circulation.
08:57.103 --> 08:59.839 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- And maybe, you know, it
won't be so bad next year.
08:59.839 --> 09:02.708 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Right, yeah, and
I would say, Dua,
09:02.708 --> 09:04.010 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
go to your local
Extension Office.
09:04.010 --> 09:05.711 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
They probably have
a publication.
09:05.711 --> 09:06.913 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- They probably, they do.
09:06.913 --> 09:08.447 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- There's probably
a spray guide.

"Peaches, plums, and nectarines
09:13.219 --> 09:16.022 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%

- They do, they definitely do,
09:16.022 --> 09:18.291 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
'cause they are so
prone to disease
09:18.291 --> 09:20.860 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%

- They definitely are.
09:20.860 --> 09:22.061 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
They definitely
are, so Dua, yeah,
09:22.061 --> 09:23.529 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
go to your local
Extension Office there
09:23.529 --> 09:25.398 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and get that spray guide,
that'll help you out.
09:25.398 --> 09:28.267 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Now, I think you can
get a dormant spray
09:28.267 --> 09:29.502 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
of some kind of copper.
09:29.502 --> 09:30.970 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- You can, you can.
- And spray that.
09:30.970 --> 09:31.971 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
As a homeowner,
you could do that.
09:31.971 --> 09:33.339 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- You can definitely do that.
09:33.339 --> 09:34.774 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- During the dormant
season, and that will help,
09:34.774 --> 09:37.643 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
you know, with maybe it
coming back out in the spring
09:37.643 --> 09:39.745 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
looking a little better maybe.
- Right, so yeah, right.
09:39.745 --> 09:40.980 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Copper-based fungicide,
you can definitely do.
09:40.980 --> 09:42.481 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Just read and follow
the label on that,
09:42.481 --> 09:43.883 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
of course.
- Right.
09:43.883 --> 09:44.984 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- And I think
you'll be just fine.
09:44.984 --> 09:46.285 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Yeah, picking up
that spray guide,
09:46.285 --> 09:47.553 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%

that all go into
peach tree short life,
11:56.382 --> 12:00.152 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and it sounds like that
may be what you have here,
12:00.152 --> 12:02.855 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
and it's not just one thing.
12:02.855 --> 12:07.593 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
But it sounds like you only
have one peach tree, which is,
12:07.593 --> 12:09.161 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
they're self-pollinating.
- Self-pollinating, yeah.
12:09.161 --> 12:10.930 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- So it doesn't require two.
12:10.930 --> 12:15.935 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
But if you started
having problems,
12:17.103 --> 12:18.504 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
you know, four years,
three or four years,
12:18.504 --> 12:22.007 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
that gives me an idea
that the peach tree's
12:22.007 --> 12:23.275 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
not where it needs to be,
12:23.275 --> 12:26.512 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
that the chill hours
may not be quite right.
12:26.512 --> 12:29.215 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Okay.
- That's my guess.
12:30.416 --> 12:31.717 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- And without a
picture, you know,
12:31.717 --> 12:32.952 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
it's really kinda hard to tell,
12:32.952 --> 12:36.122 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
'cause you know, maybe
look at the trunk.
12:36.122 --> 12:38.057 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
You know, do we see any frass?
12:38.057 --> 12:39.525 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Could there be-
12:39.525 --> 12:41.160 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- If there's borers in it-
- A peach tree borer?
12:41.160 --> 12:43.896 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
- If there's borers in it,
it's dying, and it's dead,
12:43.896 --> 12:45.765 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
and it doesn't know
it's dead yet, you know?
12:45.765 --> 12:47.266 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
- Right, right.
12:47.266 --> 12:49.668 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
- You know, I'm wondering
about white peach scale,
12:49.668 --> 12:51.137 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
you know?
- Okay, right, right.
12:51.137 --> 12:54.473 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
- That could be on, you know,
certain parts of the tree,
12:54.473 --> 12:57.276 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
and where it is, you
won't have any foliage.
12:57.276 --> 12:59.278 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
But it's just, I've not seen one
12:59.278 --> 13:02.982 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that blossoms and leaves
are only on the top third
13:02.982 --> 13:04.183 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of the tree.
- Yeah, top third, yep.
13:04.183 --> 13:08.387 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Top third, that's
just, you know,
13:08.387 --> 13:10.289 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that just sounds like something,
13:10.289 --> 13:12.358 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
I don't know whether,
can deer reach the top
13:12.358 --> 13:14.293 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to the bottom two-thirds?
[Chris laughing]
13:14.293 --> 13:15.861 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
You know, if you
got a bunch of deer,
13:15.861 --> 13:17.396 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
are they eating off that?
13:17.396 --> 13:19.665 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Do you have a, it's
called a browse line
13:19.665 --> 13:21.367 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
in nature when you look out-
13:21.367 --> 13:23.302 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
- Yeah, I've seen that.
- and everything's wide open
13:23.302 --> 13:26.505 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
up to two or three feet,
you know, off the ground
13:26.505 --> 13:28.707 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
as far as the deer
can reach, you know?
13:28.707 --> 13:33.679 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
I mean, do you have that or a
deer problem out there, but-
13:33.679 --> 13:34.947 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Yeah, it seems
like we have more,
13:34.947 --> 13:36.148 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
yeah, we have more
questions, yeah.
13:36.148 --> 13:37.583 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So it'd be good to,
you know, get a picture
13:37.583 --> 13:38.884 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
just so we can take a look.
13:38.884 --> 13:42.454 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- It sounds like she
does get some blossoms,
13:42.454 --> 13:47.259 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and I guess that tells me
that they get some fruit.
13:47.259 --> 13:49.094 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
But something's not right there.
13:49.094 --> 13:50.362 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
- Okay.
13:50.362 --> 13:53.599 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- I would, I'd probably
start with a soil test.
13:53.599 --> 13:54.967 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Make sure you pH is right,
13:56.268 --> 13:59.271 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but I just have a
feeling that that tree
13:59.271 --> 14:02.208 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
sounds like it's not
where it's supposed to be.
14:02.208 --> 14:04.810 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
[gentle country music]
14:05.978 --> 14:08.581 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- "So we put out a
new orchard in 2018.
14:08.581 --> 14:11.450 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
"We have peaches,
apples, and a Ayers pear
14:11.450 --> 14:13.752 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
"that I'd hoped would
be cross-pollinated
14:13.752 --> 14:15.821 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
"by an old pear on the property.
14:15.821 --> 14:18.824 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
"The new pear tree has
never even blossomed.
14:18.824 --> 14:21.060 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
"I asked the nursery where
we purchased the trees
14:21.060 --> 14:22.995 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
"about why that might be.
14:22.995 --> 14:25.097 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
"I was instructed to be
sure to prune the tree
14:25.097 --> 14:27.499 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
"in early spring to
force the blooms.
14:27.499 --> 14:29.835 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
"But so far, we have no blooms.
14:29.835 --> 14:32.471 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
"Why is my pear
tree not blooming?
14:32.471 --> 14:35.808 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
What can I do to make it
bloom?" And this is Sandra.
14:35.808 --> 14:37.776 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
So this is a
interesting question.
14:37.776 --> 14:39.278 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
We talked about this
a little earlier.
14:39.278 --> 14:43.215 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- Yeah, very interesting,
and there's several things.
14:43.215 --> 14:45.651 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
You know, I'm not sure
where Sandra lives.
14:45.651 --> 14:47.186 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I'm not sure what zone she's in.
14:47.186 --> 14:50.489 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
I do know that the
Ayers pear requires
14:50.489 --> 14:52.691 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
only 300 chill hours,
14:52.691 --> 14:57.296 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
so it's a very, very low
chill hour, you know, fruit.
14:57.296 --> 15:00.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It does very good in the
southern United States,
15:00.733 --> 15:02.101 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
extreme southern United States.
15:02.101 --> 15:03.269 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Right, and what do
we mean by chill hours,
15:03.269 --> 15:04.770 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
just in case somebody-
15:04.770 --> 15:08.507 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
- Chill hours are the number
of hours below 45 degrees
15:08.507 --> 15:10.709 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
that a lot of
fruits have to have.
15:10.709 --> 15:12.645 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
They have a set number of
chill hours they have to have.
15:12.645 --> 15:15.714 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
I mean, peaches are from 300,
15:15.714 --> 15:17.983 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
two hundred and fifty
to a thousand,
15:17.983 --> 15:19.318 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
twelve hundred chill hours.
15:19.318 --> 15:23.289 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
So you need to make sure
that when you plant any fruit
15:23.289 --> 15:25.691 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
that you check the
chill hour requirements
15:25.691 --> 15:28.294 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and match them to the
zone that you live in.
15:28.294 --> 15:30.062 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- Yeah, that's a good point.
15:30.062 --> 15:32.398 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- And that's very,
very important
15:32.398 --> 15:34.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
with fruits especially.
15:35.334 --> 15:37.870 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Now, another thing on pears,
15:37.870 --> 15:40.339 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and I've got a couple
pears in my yard.
15:40.339 --> 15:41.540 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
- I actually have one as well.
15:41.540 --> 15:43.242 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- And I have one that
fruits very good,
15:43.242 --> 15:45.344 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and I have one that
doesn't fruit well at all.
15:45.344 --> 15:49.882 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And they're a little different.
15:49.882 --> 15:54.286 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
They do not require
very much fertilizer.
15:54.286 --> 15:58.590 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
A rule of thumb on
fertilizer for pear trees
15:58.590 --> 16:00.926 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
is 3/4 of a pound.
16:00.926 --> 16:03.095 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Now, this is from my
old days at Auburn,
16:03.095 --> 16:05.798 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
three-quarters of a pound
of triple-eight per tree
16:05.798 --> 16:09.301 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
per year of age up to
a maximum of seven pounds
16:09.301 --> 16:11.804 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
for an older tree.
16:11.804 --> 16:14.273 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
You never give more than a
seven pounds of triple-eight,
16:14.273 --> 16:15.708 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
which is not very much
16:15.708 --> 16:17.409 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
fertilizer for an old tree-
- Yeah, that's not, yeah.
16:17.409 --> 16:20.846 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- But 3/4 of a pound of triple-8
per tree per year of age.
16:20.846 --> 16:22.147 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
So,
16:25.684 --> 16:28.053 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
if your pear
tree is in your yard
16:28.053 --> 16:30.289 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
and you fertilize your yard,
16:30.289 --> 16:31.857 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
or if you're fertilizing
your pear tree
16:31.857 --> 16:33.892 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
the same way you're
fertilizing your apple trees,
16:33.892 --> 16:35.361 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
your peach trees,
and other trees,
16:35.361 --> 16:36.729 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
you're giving it
too much fertilizer.
16:36.729 --> 16:38.230 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Okay, I see
where you're doing.
16:38.230 --> 16:40.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- So it's going vegetative
instead of reproductive.
16:40.466 --> 16:41.467 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
- Okay.
16:42.468 --> 16:46.171 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- And that could be
a problem with pears.
16:46.171 --> 16:48.073 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
So you treat pears
a little different.
16:49.108 --> 16:50.843 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- What about
pollination? Do they-
16:50.843 --> 16:53.712 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- They do require
cross-pollination,
16:53.712 --> 16:56.682 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but if it's not, a
bloom's not showing up,
16:56.682 --> 16:58.517 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you know, pollination's
not going on.
16:58.517 --> 17:00.019 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- That's right.
- But they do require
17:00.019 --> 17:02.254 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
cross-pollination, and you
need to have a pear tree
17:02.254 --> 17:05.224 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that blooms at the same time
that this one is blooming.
17:06.859 --> 17:08.994 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
But they're saying--
- Yeah, it's never
17:08.994 --> 17:10.629 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- There's no blossom
showing up, no blossoms,
17:10.629 --> 17:12.097 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and so that's why,
you know, I didn't,
17:12.097 --> 17:15.601 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
you know, but they do
require cross-pollination.
17:15.601 --> 17:18.003 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
And that is probably
part of the problem
17:18.003 --> 17:20.672 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
with the pear that I have.
17:20.672 --> 17:21.640 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
I have two pears.
17:21.640 --> 17:23.976 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
One of them gets pollinated,
17:23.976 --> 17:27.579 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
probably not by the pear
that's not blooming.
17:27.579 --> 17:30.449 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And I don't think it's
got one blooming around
17:30.449 --> 17:33.986 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
within insect, honeybee
flight distance
17:33.986 --> 17:36.989 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that is probably blooming
at the same time it blooms.
17:36.989 --> 17:40.292 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
But that's very
important, right, so.
17:40.292 --> 17:42.027 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- Sure, but yeah,
but the fertilizing,
17:42.027 --> 17:44.329 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
yeah, that's, yeah, I
didn't think about that.
17:46.131 --> 17:49.701 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- But that's really the
only thing I can think of.
17:49.701 --> 17:51.570 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I would make sure you're
not over-fertilizing.
17:51.570 --> 17:52.905 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
I mean, you're fertilizing
your yard heavy.
17:52.905 --> 17:54.840 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
If you got a pretty yard
around that pear tree,
17:54.840 --> 17:57.209 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
then that tells me that,
you know, that could be
17:57.209 --> 17:59.445 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
part of your problem.
- Yeah, too much fertilizer.
17:59.445 --> 18:02.481 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Another thing
would be, you know,
18:02.481 --> 18:07.486 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
I doubt that it's, if you
planted this tree up north,
18:09.088 --> 18:12.191 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it would break, when it
got its 300 chill hours,
18:12.191 --> 18:14.593 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the first warm spell it
had, if it's in January,
18:14.593 --> 18:16.528 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it's gonna break
dormancy, and it's gonna-
18:16.528 --> 18:18.030 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
- Which happens.
18:18.030 --> 18:21.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- And then it's gonna, it's
probably gonna get killed,
18:21.600 --> 18:23.335 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
because if it's, you
know, breaks dormancy
18:23.335 --> 18:25.304 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and then the temperature
drops to 20 degrees
18:25.304 --> 18:26.472 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
or 10 degrees, you know,
18:26.472 --> 18:29.007 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
it's probably not
gonna survive up north.
18:29.007 --> 18:34.012 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So probably in a zone
where the air should work.
18:35.514 --> 18:37.983 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
But even a 300-hour
18:40.452 --> 18:42.654 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
pear up here in Tennessee,
18:42.654 --> 18:45.691 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
this far north, this
is on the northern edge
18:45.691 --> 18:50.596 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of where that zone is,
could create a problem
18:50.596 --> 18:52.297 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
with years like we
had this past year.
18:52.297 --> 18:54.967 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I mean, how many
ornamentals have we seen?
18:54.967 --> 18:57.569 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
How much freeze damage
have we seen after last,
18:58.604 --> 19:01.306 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that late freeze that we had?
- Devastated plants.
19:01.306 --> 19:03.075 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
- It has been very
devastating, so I don't know.
19:03.075 --> 19:05.444 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And now another thing I
don't know about this,
19:05.444 --> 19:07.513 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
how old, okay, well, the
tree is five years old.
19:07.513 --> 19:08.747 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- Yeah, it's five years old.
19:08.747 --> 19:09.948 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
- The tree's five
years old, okay.
19:09.948 --> 19:13.852 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
I don't know how
old a Ayers pear is
19:13.852 --> 19:14.920 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
when it starts blooming.
19:14.920 --> 19:16.622 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
- Ah, okay.
19:16.622 --> 19:18.957 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
- So it may need to be six
or seven years old, you know,
19:18.957 --> 19:20.592 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
and I know there's some pecans
19:20.592 --> 19:22.794 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
that they've gotta have
several years on 'em
19:22.794 --> 19:25.097 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
before they start,
you know, blooming
19:25.097 --> 19:27.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and, you know, producing fruit.

This is Jean
from Ocala, Florida.
19:57.996 --> 19:59.398 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Ah, interesting.
- Ah, from Florida,
19:59.398 --> 20:00.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
growing persimmon,
how about that?
20:00.933 --> 20:02.134 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
So what do you think about that?
20:02.134 --> 20:03.902 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
It's a interesting question.
20:03.902 --> 20:05.170 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
- Yeah, well-
- Yeah.
20:05.170 --> 20:06.305 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
It actually froze
to the stump,
20:06.305 --> 20:07.606 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I'm just realizing, in Florida.
20:07.606 --> 20:09.508 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- Yeah, yeah, that's-
- How about that?
20:09.508 --> 20:11.043 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- That's pretty, yeah.
- Yeah, okay.
20:11.043 --> 20:14.713 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
- 'Cause we have some that
live as perennial trees here.
20:14.713 --> 20:16.848 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
So that's interesting.
- Yeah, it is.
20:16.848 --> 20:18.750 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
- That froze to the stump,
20:18.750 --> 20:20.319 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
but it's got a lot of blooms
20:20.319 --> 20:22.521 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
and fruit that's falling off.
20:22.521 --> 20:23.789 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
- It's falling off.
20:23.789 --> 20:26.325 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- You know, it could be
that, several things,
20:26.325 --> 20:29.194 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
but one thing comes to mind
is if it's got that many
20:29.194 --> 20:33.632 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
flowers and fruit on it, the
tree might not be able to,
20:33.632 --> 20:36.435 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
you know, finish off, you know,
20:36.435 --> 20:39.004 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
going to ripening
all of that fruit,
20:39.004 --> 20:41.506 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and it might be just
self-pruning itself,
20:41.506 --> 20:44.543 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
'cause it can't
support all of that.
20:44.543 --> 20:46.411 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
That's one thing
that comes to mind.
20:47.879 --> 20:51.583 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And the other thing is maybe
it's, I mean, what kind of,
20:51.583 --> 20:54.786 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
I'm curious as why it
would've died to the ground.
20:56.054 --> 20:58.490 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Is it an area that it
doesn't like too much?
20:58.490 --> 21:02.527 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Like, is it too wet,
or is it too dry?
21:02.527 --> 21:07.532 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I mean, why is
there a stump there?
21:07.532 --> 21:10.335 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Because like I said,
most persimmons are trees,
21:10.335 --> 21:14.773 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and they live, so I
don't know why it died.
21:14.773 --> 21:17.576 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
- So you have more questions.
- I have more questions.
21:17.576 --> 21:18.710 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
- For Ms. Jean.
21:18.710 --> 21:20.212 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- It could be the
environment that it's in.
21:20.212 --> 21:21.680 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Yeah, so it could be
environmental factors,
21:21.680 --> 21:23.015 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and you know, of
course my, you know,
21:23.015 --> 21:25.917 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
my mind goes immediately
to, was it fertilized?
21:25.917 --> 21:27.853 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Could it be too much
nitrogen fertilizer?
21:27.853 --> 21:29.054 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Oh, that's true.
- Or could it be,
21:29.054 --> 21:31.423 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
you know, too wet, right?
21:32.424 --> 21:35.127 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
'Cause yeah, the persimmon,
what, maybe three years old?
21:35.127 --> 21:36.595 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- Yeah, that's not very old.
21:36.595 --> 21:39.131 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- Maybe it needs to, you
know, use all of its energy
21:39.131 --> 21:41.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to develop the root
system, you know,
21:41.300 --> 21:43.902 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
instead of trying
to ripen the fruit.
21:43.902 --> 21:45.037 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- True.
- So I'm just thinking
21:45.037 --> 21:46.605 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
about environmental factors.
21:46.605 --> 21:47.839 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
21:47.839 --> 21:50.208 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
- And I wouldn't
let all of those,
21:51.376 --> 21:52.878 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
if it's coming up
from the stump,
21:52.878 --> 21:57.883 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
I wouldn't let every single
one of those stalks stay.
21:57.883 --> 22:01.086 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
I would pick a few, 'cause you
know, it's gonna get bigger.
22:01.086 --> 22:02.554 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
- Right, right.
- Each one of 'em
22:02.554 --> 22:04.056 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is gonna get bigger, and you
don't want 'em to grow together
22:04.056 --> 22:07.893 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and you want the fruits
to produce larger fruits.
22:07.893 --> 22:12.898 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So I would pick three
and keep the best three
22:14.333 --> 22:16.401 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that hopefully are evenly
spaced around the stump
22:16.401 --> 22:19.771 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
so that it has room to grow.
22:19.771 --> 22:22.140 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- Right, right, but yeah,
just more questions.
22:22.140 --> 22:23.375 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Yeah, more questions.
- But I mean,
22:23.375 --> 22:24.643 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
those are things
that come to my mind
22:24.643 --> 22:27.179 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
anytime I hear about
fruit trees dropping,
22:27.179 --> 22:28.246 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
you know, their fruit.
22:29.715 --> 22:31.950 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
All right, so yeah,
so Ms. Jean, thank you much,
22:31.950 --> 22:33.752 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and maybe a picture, you know?
- Yeah, a picture.
22:33.752 --> 22:35.654 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- I would've loved to have seen
a picture of that one, yeah.
22:35.654 --> 22:37.255 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%

So can you provide Grace with
some assistance, Celeste?
23:14.292 --> 23:15.761 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- So this is kind of going back
23:15.761 --> 23:17.829 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
to what we talked about at
the beginning of this episode
23:17.829 --> 23:21.566 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
with the black sooty mold
forming on that honeydew,
23:22.968 --> 23:27.539 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
and so probably aphids or
some other soft-bodied insect,
23:27.539 --> 23:30.442 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
right, that is feeding
with that piercing,
23:30.442 --> 23:31.977 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
sucking-type mouthparts
23:31.977 --> 23:34.646 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and creating that
black sooty mold.
23:34.646 --> 23:38.750 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
So you know, they've tried soap,
23:38.750 --> 23:40.519 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
which was a good
first attempt, right,
23:40.519 --> 23:44.756 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
because it is an insect
that is causing this.
23:44.756 --> 23:46.858 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
You know, most people
probably would go first
23:46.858 --> 23:49.127 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
to thinking that it
was a fungal, you know,
23:49.127 --> 23:50.595 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
issue or something like that.
23:50.595 --> 23:52.864 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
So that was a good
first attempt.
23:52.864 --> 23:56.168 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
But those soft-bodied
insects can be so hard
23:56.168 --> 23:58.003 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
to control sometimes.
- Yes, yes.
23:58.003 --> 24:02.007 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- And so bumping up to some
other types of products
24:02.007 --> 24:05.210 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that are gonna be a
little more broad spectrum
24:05.210 --> 24:09.681 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
is probably gonna
be the way to go
24:09.681 --> 24:11.983 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to help with getting
those insects controlled.
24:11.983 --> 24:14.886 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And then also I would
caution them to beware
24:14.886 --> 24:17.889 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
after they do that
first application
24:17.889 --> 24:20.725 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
to come back 7 to 10 laters,
24:20.725 --> 24:23.161 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
seven to ten days
later and do it again,
24:24.296 --> 24:27.299 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
because oftentimes
those pests will have,
24:27.299 --> 24:28.733 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
it'll control the adult forms,
24:28.733 --> 24:32.170 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
but maybe it doesn't
control the egg form.
24:32.170 --> 24:34.239 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And so, you know,
7 to 10 days later,
24:34.239 --> 24:35.240 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
you've got a whole new
24:35.240 --> 24:36.708 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
crop of adults.
- That's right.
24:36.708 --> 24:39.244 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
- So folks can be
using a product
24:39.244 --> 24:41.179 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
and think it's ineffective,
24:41.179 --> 24:44.816 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
but maybe they just
didn't use it often enough
24:44.816 --> 24:46.585 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
for it to be effective.
24:46.585 --> 24:49.321 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
So I see a couple different
avenues for them to go there.
24:49.321 --> 24:51.823 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
They could stick with the
soap if they wanna, you know,
24:51.823 --> 24:55.927 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
do least impact
type kind of things
24:56.862 --> 24:58.730 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
with sequential applications.
24:58.730 --> 25:01.967 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Then bump it up to
maybe some oils,
25:01.967 --> 25:04.970 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
horticultural oils
would be maybe the next.
25:04.970 --> 25:09.274 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And then possibly look at
some permethrin-type products.
25:09.274 --> 25:10.976 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- All right, yeah, read
and follow the label.
25:10.976 --> 25:13.078 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Repeat application, folks.
25:13.078 --> 25:14.579 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
It's definitely gonna
be that, for sure.
25:14.579 --> 25:17.949 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
- And one thing I would say
is sometimes we'll see recipes
25:17.949 --> 25:21.186 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
for, you know, like
I would suggest
25:21.186 --> 25:24.022 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that it be an insecticidal soap.
25:24.022 --> 25:25.223 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
- Right, right.
25:25.223 --> 25:26.491 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- You know, rather
than something
25:26.491 --> 25:27.726 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that's formulated-
- Dish soap.
25:27.726 --> 25:29.227 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- Right, yep, yep.
- Right, right.
25:29.227 --> 25:31.029 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- Yeah, and I know that's
what you were thinking.
25:31.029 --> 25:32.497 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I just wanted to
throw that in there.
25:32.497 --> 25:33.431 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- No, no, that's good.
- 'Cause sometimes
25:33.431 --> 25:34.633 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
there's some homemade recipes
25:34.633 --> 25:36.902 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that may not provide the
efficacy that we would hope.
25:36.902 --> 25:38.904 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
- Good clarification there.
25:38.904 --> 25:40.238 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
We don't wanna be
going out there
25:40.238 --> 25:41.907 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and like spraying
bubbles of Joy.
25:41.907 --> 25:44.342 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- No, we definitely don't
wanna do that, yeah.
25:44.342 --> 25:46.945 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Yeah, there's a difference
between detergents and soaps,
25:46.945 --> 25:49.314 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
right, so we definitely
wanna be careful.
25:49.314 --> 25:50.515 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
But yeah, can you get rid
25:50.515 --> 25:52.350 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
of the black sooty
mold coating, though?
25:52.350 --> 25:54.953 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
'Cause that's usually
a question we get.
25:54.953 --> 25:56.187 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
You know, I know Mother Nature
25:56.187 --> 25:57.989 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
kind of has to help
you out with that.
25:57.989 --> 25:59.624 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- To help weather it off.
25:59.624 --> 26:02.027 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It'll naturally get
weathered off, you know,
26:02.027 --> 26:04.563 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
eventually, if the plant
is an outside plant.
26:04.563 --> 26:06.765 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Now, if we're talking
about houseplants,
26:06.765 --> 26:08.967 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
you might need to
help that along with-
26:08.967 --> 26:10.201 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- Yeah, you probably
need to clean it.
26:10.201 --> 26:11.436 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- Yeah.
- And I think that depends
26:11.436 --> 26:15.206 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a lot on the size of the
plant and the location
26:15.206 --> 26:16.708 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and that sort of thing.
- Even maybe they have
26:16.708 --> 26:18.543 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
this mango, I don't know,
maybe it's in a greenhouse.
26:18.543 --> 26:20.312 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Then it would need some cleaning
26:20.312 --> 26:21.746 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
to try to help get that off
26:21.746 --> 26:23.915 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and so the leaves can
do photosynthesis.
26:23.915 --> 26:25.684 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
If they're all covered
up with black sooty mold,
26:25.684 --> 26:27.719 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
they're not gonna
be as efficient.
