On today's 2 minute garden tip, I share the problem with grafted fruit trees and a common problem some young fruit trees experience that could set back, harm or even kill your new grafted fruit tree! Don't make this big mistake when growing grafted fruit trees, or it could cost your fruit tree its life!

If a grafted fruit tree flowers before the tree is well-rooted and anchored, the stress of the flowering process too early can slow, damage or even outright kill the tree. I explain why this phenomenon occurs, how to remove flowers from a fruit tree that's flowering too early, and why you should do this when a fruit tree is young. While flower removal may be difficult for us to do, the fruit tree will perform much better in the long run and provide bigger harvests in the future.
