Will the root system hurt the driveway?
Thank you. Best video for this problem. Made the fix easy.
Wow! You really go to town on those peppers. I used to just prune them down, dig them up, and throw them in a pot. I kept them in the rafters over winter. Recently I've been overwintering them in-ground with protection. (Melbourne Australia around zone 9b?) Sadly this year we got some late frosts and bad storms and they didn't make it. I'll be bringing them indoors again this winter. Great video👍
I would think being 9b you might be able to get away with just putting up against the south facing wall of the house most winters. I have friends from Atlanta that moved to Melbourne. They are always sending pictures of their son catching fish from port Phillip. Looks like a beautiful city that is on my bucket list to see.
Excellent presentation of information, thank you !!!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad this video helped you out.
@Dr.Warren , there is a vacant lot near me with an oak tree with a circumference which deserves measurement. I will, from learning the distinction and measurement formula from you, post the results
Very informative this will help with my FFA class I subscribed!
Thanks! I LOVE the FFA. My dad was an FFA advisor for 31 years. I did this partly for the FFA at Albertville high school. Two of my former students are the advisors doing an awesome job. They were both fresh out of college and I was trying to provide them with some content. Best of luck on your plant ID teams.
@ that’s awesome to hear! I just got back from Indianapolis for an FFA convention and the FFA gas sparked my love for plants
@EmmettReese-nh9lg yes, the national convention is pretty awesome
@ 😎🚜🌳
I worry about that stuff being harmful to the environment and little critters.
The SDMS suggests it's good to go.
I have no idea what this smells like but have heard so much about it I bought one yesterday that was 5ft tall. I’m in Tampa bay. No idea when it blooms here. Everyone I asked around here hasn’t been very informative either.. so I guess I wait lol
Thanks for watching. I am not sure when it would bloom in Tampa. I would think in the fall when it "cools off".
@ 😂 I’ll keep you posted
I’m in North AL as well. HOA restricts to 6’ fence, even for just the back yard so I’m looking for height but not too much spread. It will be right along a fence line and I’m also concern that my septic is on the particular side I’m trying to shield. Any ideas on which if these are best for height, lower radius, and less detrimental root system for septic?
Look at Italian cypress but they will get very tall
What kind of Zoysia is yours? Im in notthwest Florida and want to change from centipede to Zoysia.
Z-52
in my test with the live oaks they tend to grow weather they float or sink ive only conducted 2 pretrial test batches so far so good on all of them they are pretty resilient
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for making this video
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Hopefully it helps you out.
HI! Thank you so much for this video! Have you ever heard of voles or moles liking the roots of these? I really want a privacy screen of them on my side yard but I have voles and moles in my yard and a little worried they will eat them. Any information is greatly appreciated!
Not to my knowledge. Moles eat insects and moles eat plants. I have never heard of voles eating them.
I'm in North Alabama so it was nice to find your channel
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Hopefully my videos can be of some help to you.
Don't these grow up to 50 ft tall? Or is that a different family variant?
I have never seen one that tall. The tallest I have seen is 25-30.
Thank you for this talk that is based on scientific information.
Excellent video, thank you.
Thanks for watching
I found earwigs love it. I keep it out of the garden now. My greens and seedlings do much better without those night feeders.
I live in the Southern Drakensberg mountains of South Africa and use cardboard to suppress weeds (Rividia/mouse-eared-clover) and mulch (along with straw or pine needles depending on the shrub). I'm preparing compost for a red-wriggler barrel and a few truck tyre piles - lots of used coffee grounds, soaked torn cardboard, small sticks, horse manure, kitchen and garden waste. Holding thumbs that the combination works and the wrigglers multiply.
Very helpful. Thank you for covering the whole process. 😊
Thank you for watching. I'm glad I could help
Thanks man you helped me out today! 11/07/24 🫡🫡🫡💯👍🏽💪🏽🤩
That's awesome! That's the entire reason for the channel. Try to help folks out where I can.
I did a lot of cardboard in my garden this year. I topped it with a mix of top soil, twigs and straw, and black Kow fertilizer. Anywhere the cardboard was covered in soil or a rock had broken down within about a month, anything that was sticking out and didn’t get cover didn’t break down at all. I Planted patty pan squash, jack o lantern pumpkins and marigolds, tomatoes from seed over it and got decent to excellent growth and also planted Woodland phlox over it when it was still fresh, that had mixed results.
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, from Sweden. I have tried once, but they froze on the balcony... Now I´m on it again. I have gotten some to start growing leaf. But a question, what should I do with my 4 twin acorns tree trunks? Should I cut one of them?
I'm general you want a central leader.
What happened to your foot
Torn Achilles
This is complete bs. Link states that the loop isn’t included in the replacement latch kit. I’ve got 2 broken loops. Thx for nothing
Mine came with loops. 🤷♂️🤷♂️. I made this a few years ago. Maybe they changed the product?
I live in the UK (USA Zone 9b) and am fortunate enough to live by the sea. I harvest seaweed from the local beach, leave it a few weeks for the rain to wash out the salt, then spread it out together with ripped up cardboard (about 50 / 50). I then just run a lawn mower over it all to shred. This mix, spread about 100mm thick on my beds in autumn improves soil quality and worm population a great deal.
Thanks for sharing from across the pond. I went to Kew and a bunch of other gardens around 20 years ago. I want to go back.
I need some of them pots
I just looked to send you a link and they do not have this exact pot anymore. There are similar out there.
Congratulations! Your hard work and dedication paid off plus you have lots of huge watermelons to enjoy at the end of the season. We tried growing zucchinis one year and the vines went everywhere so we haven’t planted any again.
One question: were you saturating the soil each day for those first 7-10 days or just that first watering? Congrats to the Plant Daughter! 👏
Every day
What makes a maple free japanese? They grow all over New York in the wild. Would this be a New York Maple?
They are native to Japan. There are several native species of maple to New York but they are not Japanese Maples.
@Dr.Warren been collecting maples since a kids fist maple ever discovered was in Alaska 1000 or millions of years ago from what I learned as a kid so was genuinely asking as Japan is an island. Hawaii maple 🍁 anyway thanks 🙏
Ha! I have unwanted Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) seedlings germinating in nearly all of my containerized hardy and subtropical nursery cans, because the resident Eastern Gray Squirrels favor the easily worked mix in these for burying acorns. Overwintering these plants in an unheated porch is effective but unintended stratification. When the seedlings emerge above ground, they already have long taproots.
Yes! Same here. I have a bird of paradise and some citrus I over winter in the garage and occasionally have an oak sprout up in the pot. The root is always deep and a ***** to get out.
@Dr.Warren Oak seedlings generally have only one apical meristem, so the best way to get rid of them is to cut off their top after the true leaves start to expand. This avoids damaging the roots of my container plants; as I have a +75 year old Red Oak that has boom years for acorn production very often, 5 to 21 Oak seedlings per container are the norm! For no logical reason, cutting the tops off of Oak seedlings leaves me more remorseful than pulling them out, acorn, taproot, and all.
Are there any chemicals added to the cardboard in its manufacturing process I should be worried about? Like synthetic glues, bleaching agents like chlorine with their dioxins,. What about waxed cardboard is that plastic?
I am 80 years old. I have lived in Pennsylvania, Florida and South American. I have used Miracle Gro for as long as I can remember and found it better than any other plant food. Never had one problem with it or my pets and plants. Impossible to find in South America.
I wonder if it's not shipped down there?
I live in a tropical area and use similarly to how Dr. describes. It works and makes my life easy.
I live in Tn where there is lots of RED Clay I put Cardboard down every Fall and Mulch My leaves and put them on Top By Spring all thats left is the strips of Tape that were on the boxes The worms do not like the tape. Early this Spring I saw a Robin pick up a small chunk of Cardboard Moved it over and was eating my worms. There are lots of worms that live under the cardboard and aerate The soil, My garden is beautiful. I have been using the cardboard 12 years
I grew up in northwest Georgia. I know allll about the red clay.
I remember working with a guy and we spent one whole weekend doing this and and completed about 2500 1-Gallon cans of assorted clippings from hedges, bushes, and other clippings. we started a great nursery for my Boss and he went on for years and years.....
Some people become wealthy propagating plants. It can be lucrative

Thanks for the kind words and for watching
Chitosan is contained in many organic fertilizers and acts as an effector in plants: Chitosan Effects on Plant Systems pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4964372/ and this is only one of the numerous scholarly articles and research papers on the subject. Oligochitosan along with Salicin extract from Willow tree bark are also another effector sometimes used to help eliciting a synergistic response to creating and strengthening pathways of resistance to fungus and insects as well as aiding in nutrient up regulation. How does the multifaceted plant hormone salicylic acid combat disease in plants and are similar mechanisms utilized in humans? pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5364617/ gives an interesting context which touches on some of the mentioned subject matter.
I just covered a mostly clay bed with cardboard and leaves. Waiting for the spring. If it is still clay then, I will know why. I have never seen one comment from a person saying they had a bad result with cardboard, though.
Quercus xalapensis and Quercus Calophylla (2 native oak species from the Sierra Norte de Puebla in Mexico), what category do they fall under, as black oak, white oak, or red oak?
I would need to look them up. Being west coast oaks I am not as well versed.
This is great, can you do pines or junipers?
Boss! I am working on a series of these videos. Maple, pine , hickory, etc.
If you can’t afford all of the extra plant foods, which one is the most important?
Get you a slow release like osmocote
Here in Kittery Maine deer eat my Solomon’s seal like crazy
They will occasionally get my hosta but never touch much of anything else. I think a lot of it has to do with how much food they have in the woods. If resources are limited they are coming for about anything in the landscape.
Would this work on ravenna grass? What time of the year do I trim?
It should. I do this in the late fall
How often / how much do you water outside of the growing season (i.e. fall / winter). Thank you. Very helpful video.
Once dormant I wouldn't water
@@Dr.Warren I live in Sarasota. Does the grass grow dormant here?
* Go dormant here
I live in Northern California and I planted 50+ quercus lobatas (valley oak) which is a white oak. Every single one, I just gathered the acorn in fall, and buried them in the ground under about an inch of soil covered with mulch and gave them a good soak. I usually had about a 90% success rate. Then once they popped up I covered them with tree tubes and give them some water in our brutally hot and dry summers about once a month and that usually works until they are old enough to handle the dry summer. I started planting about 4 years ago and most of my trees are about 4-6 feet tall now. Just gotta keep the deer away from them when they pop out of the top of the tubes!
Tubes are essential in high deer pressure areas
@@Dr.Warren I’ve realized that tubes help retain humidity, and they help the trees grow taller faster. I also planted quercus douglasii (blue oak) which is another white oak but they grow wayyy slower than the valley oak. But with the tree tubes, I was able to get almost the same growth rate as the valley oak which was cool.
You don’t even need to dig a hole. Just dropping them on ground and leaving them for the winter they will sprout by the thousands. I lived in Grass Valley California for twenty years. Jillions of those oak trees I saw sprout.
I have lots of children playing neighbors lol. Thank you for this video!!!!
Ha! It will work for that too
Um...put an acorn in the dirt and keep it watered but not too much
Overcup white oak doesn’t grow till spring like the red oaks
Grey and corrugated cardboard is less processed than the cardboard used for shipping boxes. It’s really just pressed wood pulp, dampened, a little fixative added, and baked. More environmentally friendly.
