In nature they will reseed readily, so it is possible that you could pick and plant them. That being said, it is much easier to grow arborvitaes via propagation rather than by seed due to their germination rate and conditions. I recommend reading the Manual of Woody Landscape Plants by Michael A. Dirr, if you are looking to get into growing / propagating arborvitaes.

Thanks for the question. Hot sun in Zone 8b should be fine for Limelight Hydrangeas, which are hardy into zone 9 even. The cause of death for your plants was most likely due to over or under watering (watering too frequently and not allowing the soil to dry out, or from not giving the plant enough quantity of water to thoroughly soak them each time they are watered). Panicled Hydrangeas do not like to be watered every day. They, like many other heat-loving plants, would like to be thoroughly soaked (5-10 minutes slow trickle), and then allowed a few days to dry out for their entire first year. In our area, we recommend a drying out period of around 4-5 days for 3 gallon hydrangeas, due to our heavy clay concentration. In your area, it may be more frequently, i.e. every 3-4 days, if your soil composition is lighter / more sandy. Watering every day with an irrigation system is not a good approach for newly established plants. We have a couple other videos on our page for how to properly water plants, as well as a guide (for Northern Illinois), on how to water new plants: www.wasconursery.com/plant-care/care-of-new-plants/

Personally I don't think irrigation is the answer for shrubs in really HOT sunny zones...I found that out the hard way as well. Now I water with the hose directly in those areas and this way I KNOW it's getting alot of water and I am looking at those plants more frequently because I am standing in front of it watering it. I can adjust accordingly to my watering.

I am so glad to hear that!!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I would try to order the spray soon, because the crawler stage might come early this year due to the heat and humidity. The drench would be good to apply now.

Yes, they do grow in 7b, and ours typically range from $250 - $650 depending on age. Just a heads up, we are unable to ship plants out of state.

@@WascoNursery wow... A bit too pricey for me but TY

Thanks for watching. Most reputable growers will check their trees regularly for scale and other insects. That being said, it can be hard to see scale, especially on younger trees. One thing to note is that scale has a multi-year lifecycle. The white scales will pop open on an infected tree in fall, crawlers will emerge and feed on the infected tree and potentially travel to nearby trees, then the crawlers will feed enough until they mature, create a scale, and repeat the cycle next year. With this in mind, if your tree was planted 3 weeks ago, and you have visible, mature, adult scales on the tree, they would have to have been on the tree since Fall of 2023 (previous year cycle). If the infestation is not too bad, you could try contacting your landscaper and see if they are willing to supply you with Systemic Insect Spray by Bonide (or similar brand Imidacloprid Leaf Spray), to spray on the tree this fall and protect the infestation from getting worse. If it is a more severe infestation, and the tree was just planted a few weeks ago, I would contact your landscaper and ask for a replacement, since newly planted trees should not have scale.

Thanks for watching! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions regarding the treatment steps shared in the video.

Thanks for watching. If a section died "all at once" but the rest of the plant looks fairly normal, it is possible that you have a disease called Volutella: plantpathology.ca.uky.edu/files/ppfs-or-w-26.pdf

Great question! Carolina Sweetheart Redbud is new to us this year, so we will see how it performs. This cultivar was developed as a collaborative project by NC State University and Star Roses and Plants Nursery. Both our growers and the university that helped breed this cultivar are confident that the Carolina Sweetheart Redbud is hardy up into Zone 4a. plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/cercis-canadensis-nccc1/ We have some in stock right now, and hope to continue to carry it each year.

Thanks for watching!!

Right now the best thing to do is dispose or burn fallen leaves that have scabs, and remember to spray early in the spring. We have a product called Bio-Pak, which is a great fertilizer for stressed out / diseased trees. Bio-Pak can be applied now and through October. www.wasconursery.com/product/biopak-plus-stress-relief-fertilizer/

Great question - the insects' life cycle spray timings will most likely start a week or two earlier, especially in a warmer year like this one has been, in a zone 6b area.

Thanks for watching! If you ever visit Illinois, feel free to stop by!

I am glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!

Neither the spray nor the disease will affect nearby plants.

@@WascoNursery TY

@@WascoNursery I hope I am not bothering you but once again I just received my tree and shrub insect control the one that you said to use first you use with the watering can. I understand how to do it but my question is we just had a massive rainfall up to 3 inches so the ground is really really wet , I don’t know if I should wait. If anyone has an answer, I ordered all three though just like the videos tells us.

You're welcome! The entire arborvitae genus (Thuja sp.) has been listed as tolerant of Juglone, this includes Green Giant Arborvitae (See Link to Morton Arboretum Page Below). The clip of the shaded-area Green Giants in the video is from my own home landscape, where they have done exceptionally well, despite only receiving minimal sun. mortonarb.org/plant-and-protect/tree-plant-care/plant-care-resources/black-walnut-toxicity/#tolerant-evergreens

@WascoNursery that's FANTASTIC! I swear I read somewhere that Arbs were suseptible!!! This is great news! Thanks!!!

I'm sorry to hear that this has happened. Hopefully your established plants will be able to fight off the shade and other detractors that your neighbor's yard gives off.

Great question. I assume the plants you are referring to are the Emerald Green Arborvitaes. When they are young they will be very tight and feathery. As they age, they can develop more than 1 leading trunk, making them a little "rumply". That being said, they still provide great privacy, even when they are fully mature.

Right?! The whole "Chiffon" series by PW is nice. I am a big fan of the unique, double-layered flowers that all of them have. They have also been very reliable in our very cold northern Illinois winters.

That's great! We love Green Giants and use them very regularly in our landscaping projects. Carolina Sapphire Cypress are a great tree, unfortunately, they do not grow in our part of the country (Northern Illinois).

I'm glad you were able to find our page, and the plants you wanted!

Great question! We use small, green painted bamboo stakes with vynil stretch tape to keep the crocosmia from falling over. As it ages, and if it is nearby other plants, it will be stronger and less prone to falling over.

Thanks for watching, glad we could help!

If you are local, I recommend bringing in a sample of the pumpkin for us to look at. If you are not local, I recommend reaching out to a local, reputable garden center with a plant clinic or nearby university extension office. Just as a general tip, many insects are host specific to one type of plant. For example, Rose Sawfly, the insect mentioned in this video, does not harm other plants during its larval stage. That being said, there are other insects like aphids and mites (among others) that can spread between different plant genera.

Thanks for watching! BioAdvanced's product contains the same active ingredient as the one mentioned in the video. We recommend a 3 step approach for heavy infestations, using the products (or similar ones) in our Magnolia Scale Bundle: www.wasconursery.com/product/magnolia-scale-treatment-bundle/ As per the video, we are about to come up on the "Crawler Stage" of the insect's life cycle. If it is able to be sprayed, you will want to spray it with Bonide's Systemic Spray in Late August, Mid September and Late September.

I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!

That's great! Feel free to comment if you have any other questions or if you have other topics you would like us to cover in future videos.

They are very tough and come in a lot of different colors!

Great question! Some plants are better than others at reblooming, so it is best to check the tag and see their bloom time when selecting new additions to the landscape. Plants with longer bloom times listed on the tag are generally going to be longer bloomers. That being said, there are a few care tips that you can do to help plants rebloom better. - First, cut back dead flowers to the nearest set of leaves once they are done blooming. - Second, fertilize regularly with a high-phosphorous fertilizer like Jack's Blossom Booster: www.wasconursery.com/product/jacks-blossom-booster-10-30-20/ - Third, ensure that all of your plants are getting adequate sunlight. Though many sun perennials may say "full-sun to partial sun" on the tag, plants that like sunny environments will bloom best in sunnier locations.

Hey Anne, thanks for subscribing! I'm glad that you found our page. Feel free to let us know if there are any topics you would like us to cover in future videos!

That's awesome, great collection!! It is super interesting how they are all apart of the same Genus of plants, but look and grow so different. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for letting us know! I updated the settings, so captions should be available in a couple of days when UA-cam processes the video again.

We love phlox too! The colors, fragrance and showy blooms are very cool characteristics!

Thanks for watching! If the limbs have had no leaves on them, you can prune them off. If they had leaves this spring, but lost them, scratch the bark gently to see if there is still green. If so, leave the branch on until next spring, and see if it leafs out then.

Thats great, i'm glad to hear! Acephate applied during the crawler phase (Late August - September) is definetly effective against scale. We recommend Bonide Systemic Spray, since it is easier to apply (comes in hose-hookup bottle), but we also carry Acephate in a concentrate. Both products are equally effective, when applied at the correct time of year.

Stained Glass is definitely one of our favorite Hosta varieties. The color and variegation holds up very well, and compliments a ton of dark-leaved perennials with its bright color. I definitely recommend planting Hosta in areas that get minimal sun, to avoid sunburn. Some of them hold up better than others, but most will show some sun / heat stress for their first few years in sunnier locations.
