Subtropical Ohio Plants
Приєднався 17 сер 2022
Exploring warm temperate and subtropical plants that can withstand the rigorous winters of northeast Ohio! Other videos focus on how weather, climate, soil type and extreme weather events in the area (plant hardiness zone 6a) affect plant development throughout the year!
Black Locust: A Native and INVASIVE Tree
Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a highly resilient U.S. native tree, often growing where other tree genera (ash, elm, etc) have succumb to non-native insects and disease. This tree grows so vigorously that it has become an invasive species throughout parts of Europe, The Middle East, Eastern Asia, Australia, and South Africa. As forest ecosystems become more disrupted in the eastern U.S., black locust may take on a more dominant role in the future.

The Splendid 'String of Pearls' Magnolia
Where in Ohio?
Nice tree, I'd say that's a brackens brown beauty. You see some growing well here in Southern Ontario as well!
‘ Urban Spire’ should work for smaller properties. Supposedly to only 2/3 the height of the species and considerably narrower. We shall see, as the two in my garden grow
Love your calm soothing voice
Thank you!
Can they grow from seeds? Will they thrive in the tropics?
Lilacs require a cool temperate climate, whereas crepe myrtles - specifically the pride of India tree - thrive in a tropical climate!
@subtropicalohioplants267 oh dear I was hoping she would have thrived here in Barbados I know of the different kinds of Crepe Myrtles especially the tree formed ones incredible blooms but No fragrance. So far I've only been seeing trees/ shrubs with whitie or creamish fragrant flowers here. Rangoon creeper a shrubby vine is one of the few colourful & fragrant ones and also the Vitex shrub/tree with those lovely lilac blooms.
'promo sm' 🤩
Bummer that you got snow! Yikes! I'm glad that you enjoy the Lenten Rose. I, for one, think they are ugly and don't care for them, but that's part of what makes gardening fun, to each their own. I never expect any damage to Daffodils. Those things are so tough and meant to handle such wild swings and cold snaps with snow. I don't recall really maybe ever seeing them damaged or killed due to any weather event, other than their natural death during that first 80 degree, humid and sunny week in May. Great video! Thanks!
How tall and wide ?
The North Carolina State Extension lists it as eventually reaching 50ft tall and 15ft wide.
Great video! Well done! Helpful and informative!
Thank you!
Nice video!
Thank you!
Great video! Awesome job! Happy 2024!
Thank you! Happy New Year!
@@subtropicalohioplants267 NP and you as well!
Is it same with cupressus cashmeriana?
Not quite! The most closely related tree native to the eastern U.S. would be the Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) and they are in separate genera (Juniperus vs Cupressus). One is a juniper and the other is a cypress.

I live in cleveland area too! Idk which magnolia to get. Acuminata, Macrophylla, grandiflora, or virginiana!
wow amazing
I love seeing these. I’ve seen them maintained looking great, but also unkept and looking a little rough.
Looks good! Cool tree!
Thanks!
Such a great tropical-looking tree!
Very cool!
Thank you!
Gorgeous plants, love Rhodos!
Very pretty! Nice job!
Beautiful plant!
Very nice!
Thank you! It's pretty cool to take a well-known plant such as the Common Lilac and learn about other species and cultivars. And of course crepe myrtles are considered the "lilac of the south". Apparently the Bloomerang Lilac re-blooms later in the year.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Legit!
Very pretty! Great job!
Thank you! It's pretty cool that these colorful hybrids with Plumeria-like flowers were developed for surviving winter in Minnesota! The azalea in the thumbnail is a Northern Hi-Lights Azalea.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Interesting. I had never heard of it until this video!
Beautiful, looks kind of like a pawpaw. Awesome!
Very cool!
One of my favorite native species, they are native here in the D.C. area as well, we are also on the edge of their range. Sadly many have died or are dying from the adelgid, so sad. There are a few local groves which are being treated and look really beautiful! Thanks for the video!
Nice video! Gotta love it! The only thing worse than March snow is April snow!
So true! And it happens in CLE at some point in April almost every year!
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Yuck! No thank you haha! How many inches did you finish with this winter (November 1 - March 31)?
@@justhereforthefoliage It appears that Cleveland accumulated 16 inches of snow this year, compared to the historical average of about 64 inches. We saw a few good snow storms and lake effect snow, but also had a few weeks with little to no snow on the ground.
@@justhereforthefoliage Some recent late snowfalls for CLE include May 15th in 2020 and April 21st in 2021.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 CIN NWS had 14.4 inches this year whereas the typical is 22.7 inches. CLE NWS had, ironically, 22.7 inches this year whereas the typical is 61 inches! Holy cow that’s a lot of snow lol! CIN highest ever snowfall in history is 53.9 inches in the historic blizzard of 1977-1978. So it’s quite interesting that CLE average is 7 inches higher than CIN record high! Date range I pulled was November 1 to March 31. We see a dusting in April from time to time but I don’t recall any snow in May, though it’s totally possible and I’m sure it’s happened at some point. We’ve got about one more month of freeze warnings and then we’re in the clear. Just brought my first tropical out today!
Would this tree do good in subtropical climates? Like central mexico ?
In a seasonally dry subtropical climate, red maple requires a natural water source or supplemental irrigation to survive through the dry winters. For example, in subtropical Florida it only grows naturally near rivers, streams, and swamps.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 we have 60 hectars with water springs threw the property and a river about less then half a mile away ?
I need to look into the root system of the tree maybe it can tap into the water vains under ground.
I need to look into the root system of the tree maybe it can tap into the water vains under ground. Water flows everywhere in the rain season from June threw early September.
Nice! Looks good!
It’s a great tree! So many interesting cultivars too!
For sure. It's definitely fun observing red maples this time of year. Are the red maples in your area still blooming?
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Yes, they are. Tons of them! We’ll see how things go with a low of 21°F next week lol.
@@justhereforthefoliage Red maples are now almost in full bloom in Cleveland! By the way, did the red maples look damaged at all from the recent cold, or have they proved resilient?
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Ah nice! Glad to hear it! We’ve had almost no movement on anything in the past three weeks. It’s pretty sad, actually. Nothing looks any different other than honeysuckle has come on. Cold didn’t damage anything but nothing has advanced either. It’s been so cold!
@@justhereforthefoliage Some plants wake up at the first alarm, whereas others keep hitting the snooze button!
Amazing!
Also, I just looked up that place you always go for these and it looks amazing! Wow! It looks beautiful and top notch. Tons of cool things there. We don’t have anything like that around here! All at 41.6°N! Got to love it!
Thanks for the compliment! I began going there more frequently with the pandemic and always look forward to visiting again.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Is it free to the public?
@@justhereforthefoliage It is only free for members. You can look it up for more information.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Nice!
Wow! Really cool! Never heard of it or seen it before, but it’s awesome looking! Do y’all still have snow on the ground?
We currently don't have snow on the ground, but it comes and goes frequently.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Ah okay, makes sense.
Wow, that looks amazing! Never heard of it before. Is it picky with solid like Rhodie and Azaleas? Is it in that family?
Yeah, the Japanese pieris (Pieris japonica) is in the heath family along with azaleas, mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia.) and rhododendrons. They all really don't like alkaline soil and require more or less the same soil modification prior to installing. I will never forget, several years ago, seeing "a pink-flowering shrub" blooming in the middle of January, despite low temperatures and a foot of snow on the ground. Did some research and found out it was the winter buds on the Japanese pieris. I loved the species ever since.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Yeah, that’s pretty crazy! The picky nature of their soil has me skeptical it they’ll work for me, though I do have both Rhodie and Azalea. Thanks!
Luminous Golden Arborvitae, really very beautiful, full support for really cool content, nice to meet you
Welcome to the channel!
Agreed, the new growth colors look so awesome against the blue sky.
It's hard to believe the hardened new growth on this plant appears that way in the winter. And it seems to have gone through the latest cold snap without any damage.
Amazing! Just subscribed, love the channel, beautiful trees! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm always amazed to see this same tree species growing with Royal palms in South Florida or in Rio!
@@subtropicalohioplants267 I know, it’s crazy, they’re such cool trees!
It’s a great tree, for sure! Seemingly tough as nails and can handle just about anything!
There's nothing like driving through Big Cypress in the Everglades on a cloudy winter day and feeling like one is back in Ohio - except that it's like 80 and humid outside. There are also some pretty wintery google images of Big Cypress on a cloudy winter day (minus the snow).
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Nice!
I really like these a lot.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for your feedback! I always appreciate the variety of trees grown at my local arboretum. In the surrounding area of northern Ohio, it seems like almost every planted evergreen conifer is either the eastern white pine, Scot's pine, or Norway spruce. So boring! One of my goals for this channel is to inspire people to consider growing trees that aren't overly planted.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 I love it! Keep it up 💪🏼
Very pretty! Like a mix between the color of a False Cypress and a Green Giant!
I learned a few days ago that the plant is technically a golden form ('Crippsii'?) of the Japanese Hinoki Cypress. I was intentionally vague in calling it a "golden arborvitae" in the title because I wasn't completely sure of the exact species and cultivar.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Gotcha! Now you know!
Very nice! They are awesome trees. Great info my friend.
Beautiful tree! I planted one in my yard 20 years ago.
Amazing!
Really cool. I found a handful of them here in the greater Philadelphia area.
Awesome! It’s hard to think of a city in a humid temperate, subtropical or borderline tropical region (Miami, FL) where bald cypress won’t grow. This is one of the few trees that shrugged off our brush with hurricane Sandy (in CLE about 60 mph winds for a week) back in 2012, losing only a few twigs. I love how this tree tolerates higher winds than coconut palms, and more snow loading than Norway spruce! Two very different trees to compete with!
