welcome to Lumira the Swiss fruit and berry plant produces and breeders my name normally is Marcus cobalt I'm founder and breeder of flow beer today we are talking about how to prune a nectarine Colin tree first thing Colin the trees in stone fruit and also nectarine is a special thing it generally doesn't exist when nursers like ours are selling nectarine columnar trees there are trees which have a longer shape like this one but they are not Colin in the same sense like the apple trees are columnar the calmness of the epidurals is based on the small distances between the boots and a high apical dominance so the tree want to go only upwards let the reason that he doesn't produce many side shoots and he's not growing too much because the distance between the boots is very small look at this nectar entry distance between the the putz is about the same as in normal nutrients and so they are growing rather high and they are making side shoots there are only a little bit smaller and higher like normal nectarines so how to prune a tree like this I think three things are important to know and to do first thing everything which is too low makes no sense it's becomes dusty it becomes dirty it goes into all the plants so we can prune it off that's it second thing the old truths like this one so the thicker ones which more branches which had fruit already last year we are pruning down to a five centimeters like this one two three perhaps four six yeah that's it why with this method we forced the tree to build new shoots from here which will have fruit not this year but next year because nectarines and and also peaches have the ability to make fruit on the shoots of last year so this shoot has developed last year and we'll have plenty of fruit this year and it will have too many fruits because here almost every bud is a flower bud so one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen flower buds and perhaps ten fruit on the shoot that is impossible so we have to thin out and the first method to thin out in nectarines and peaches is pruning so we can prove everything back to fifty percent not think too much only prune back fifty percent so it's very easy I like easy things while gardening if it's too complicated I'm not doing it so it's very easy and now the third oh we had already three things pruning of these things then pruning back to five centimeters the the older shoots then pruning to fifty centimeters the the shoots of last year and we have a fourth thing to do we have to prune back a little bit because I I would like to have fruits there up I'm one meter eighty so I can reach about two meter 50 that's enough so we prune back here to a side should we make the cut concurrence a little bit small and that's it and in two years we will repeat this to have the tree at about two meter so that you can reach easily every fruit that's all go on gardening and planting a column the nectarine over this bridge you have to go here here you go to lube Erica okay with all our breedings and thousands of more plants and here here you can inscribe to our youtube channel just go your way
