Hey guys! I planted a peach tree last week and hard pruned it. It isn-t looking so well, it seems sad and the soil under and around the tree seems like it-s holding moisture. We are in Louisiana so drainage is a problem here, we have hard clay. When I planted I added native soil with compost/pine bark soil conditioner/top soil. I believe I added a little sand too. Should I dig it up and amend? If so what should I add? Or should I dig it up and pot it for a while?

Who told you the hole should be twice the depth of the pot? 2 -3 times the diameter is good but the crown of the tee should be just above the normal ground level and sitting on solid soil, not filled in, or the tree will sink too deep and the crown will rnd up below surface level. Roots go out. If planting a grass, deeper ould be okay because most of their roots grow down.

Whoaw that's quite some work, but I can see why. Were I live (the Netherlands) our soil is much softer (no need for a pick. I just dig a hole with the shuffle and put the trees in it. That was 2. 5 years ago and they are now several feeth higher: )

Thank you for the instructions. I bet you will use these steps now that you are going to build your orchard in Canada. Would love to see a -refresh- instruction video once you start planting your trees up north. For now greetings from Amsterdam

Watching older videos is very knowledgeable. Specially when one day in the future I want to get my own home and grow my food forest. I-m growing right now making mistakes but those mistakes will make me a better gardener in the future.

Congratulations Jack and Nicole! Planting our food is a good thing. Beautiful garden, beautiful flowers. Fruit trees will be the joy of tomorrow. Nature is beautiful and teaches us to be better humans, more humble, with more love than prejudices.

By the way Jake the idea of water being a magnifying glass is actually a wise tale I used to think the same thing but I learned that that was wrong it actually can help the plant cool off when it's very sunny.

If I may, you only need to make the mistake of digging in saddles once to really regret it. As much as it sucks, closed toed shoes is really worth the potential cut off toe. But good vid.
