I live in California, I am new to hydrangeas.. I purchased a lacecap this summer.. absolutely beautiful.. it’s now October… no more flowers just dry looking branches with lots of baby buds coming.. I pruned back to first buds.. hopefully I did it correctly (see pictures) so during winter months do I water often? Do I need to cover it all? When should I see flowers again? 12:18

"thinning" cuts don't really exist. There are 3 types of pruning cuts: reduction (larger of 2 branches removed back to a smaller branch that's at least 1/3 diameter of the parent), removal (removes the smaller of 2 branches at its point of origin), and heading (removes a branch back to a bud or to a branch that's less than 1/3 diameter of the branch being removed)

Love this video. The specific naming of principles is helpful, as is your pacing and careful diction.

Thank you thank you. I never expected to find this info online for Whidbey specific drainfields. Great video. I am going to have to make a trip down to your nursery (I am in South oak harbor)

These are really good recommendations! I really wanted a willow but I was concerned that it wouldn't be able to deal with the whole summer dry thing, so I picked Scouler's willow because I read that it's more common on upland sites. But good to know they can be more adaptable! Going through its first summer, I am watering it to help it get established and it seems fine. Do you know how long it takes them to flower from a 1 gallon plant? I'm excited to find out what gender mine is. What I love about them is how they sway in the breeze, it's very relaxing 😎. Haven't seen any caterpillars yet but a bunch of ladybugs chose it as their pupation spot this year so that was fun to watch.

I am about to plant out a septic drain field on the Oregon coast and you gave me so many great options. Very much appreciated! One question rhodendeons and azaleas are known for having shallow fibrous roots. Do you think they would acceptable options?

Thank you for your excellent videos. Any native suggestions for a shady dry field with poor rocky soil? Does trailing black berry have shallow roots?

More tree pruning videos please 🙂

Amazing video, please do a follow up so we can see how it looks now with the fruits on it.

Hi! This is super helpful. We have a large patio with very big pots (about 2 ft diameter, 3 feet deep). We're looking for something that provides some privacy, can withstand a ton of direct sunlight in summer (we get a LOT of direct sunlight in summer), and doesn't have super strong water demands (we have no spigot outside so it's cumbersome to do a lot of watering every day). Which of these do you think would be good for this application? The pots have some old soil in them we just removed all the dead plants from - do we need to totally replace this old soil or is there a way we can rejuvenate it? Sorry for the obvious questions, I am a total beginner at this.

You did an excellent job explaining, I've been googling every where to find what you just explained. I had two catalpas pruned and of course here come the water sprouts. I guess there is no way to stop their filling in spaces. I've eliminated branches only to have them become thicker. Great job and thank you

Do you have a recommendation for converting a grass covered drain field to these plantings, since you can't add soil? Normally I'd get rid of grass by putting down cardboard and let some top soil. Wish I'd known about your videos when I lived on Whidbey - loved the nursery!

Do these tips also apply to summer trimming of stonefruit trees?

The "huckleberry" you showed is actually a Blueberry. It's DNA has been run and studied and it is a member of the blueberry family. The only huckleberry is one that grows in the northern east coast. It's not related, nor does it grow like our blueberries.

I needed this video so bad today, it June so I'm a little late but I'm learning.

The food chain concept is so critical, and I don’t hear many people talking about that aspect of promoting native plant use. Feeding the insects IS feeding the birds! (Bonus: much less likely to attract bears than a classic bird feeder full of sunflower seeds or suet, lol) Thanks for the great video!

I allows my rose shrubs to get out of control. Is it ok to reduce the height of the bush during the summer months? It’s late June in northeast Greatly appreciate your advice Fantastic video. I was at a loss as to how to keep the shrub tight and pretty w o hurting or outright killing the shrub.

Biology major here. Making sure most of your garden is native is super important in supporting native wildlife and ecosystems that way species of fauna and flora can continue to thrive. There’s nothing wrong with having a little bit of non native plants as long as they are not invasive. Prioritizing native over non native should be essential and it’s sad how much habitat has been destroyed because of humans.

thank you!! would any of these do ok or well in pots?

🙏. Thank you

Wax myrtle is my favorite too. I have it combined in a hedgerow with other natives like twinberry, Oregon grape and currants and underplanted with salal. I have ceanothus also but they have a short life expectancy. Mine are looking pretty sad (16 years) with lots of dead wood underneath and will need replacing. They cannot be rejuvenated with pruning.

I think this was a test run for something bigger! 😁 🤣 🤣 To be in their lair as they scratched for hours and whooping in delight for the winning cards. Laughing and dancing like braincell-less morons. 😂😂 we're rich. We've hit the big time. ....on the way to do big time! We applaud you all. 👏 👏 👏

very nice and great informative video

Thanks for the tip- I’m going to prune mine today. But holy crap, is that a bear or a dog you have behind you? 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve got 2 Daniffs and they say hello to your moose!

So much great info here! Great video! 💚

I'm in zone 9 and desperate for a privacy hedge. Which ceanothus would be the fastest growing? Currently looking at Ray Hartman. I may give the CA wax myrtle a try too!

Well explained, succinct, and helpful. Thank you!

Very useful to learn about plants that are good for larval insects and therefore for birds -- thanks!

Salmon berry is great too. Hummingbirds love the flowers and robins and swainsons thrush as well as others love the berries.😊

What if you have some older thicker canes and don't see any nodes. If you clip too far above a node, will that node not grow ?

Lomger focus up close on plants would tremendously add to your video.

Thank you for this video. Excellent information given directly with no gimmicks. Very refreshing!

Can you prune the Pacific Wax Myrtle to a formal hedge? I've read some conflicting views on it. I have a space about 4 feet by 30 feet, and I'd like it to be about 6-8 feet tall, but I'm worried the Pacific Wax Myrtle wants more space than that.

Great video

Nice, clear and direct presentation - looking forward to more like this.

Thank you😊

Excellent, this helps a lot!

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for the information, I am a landscape engineer and I just started my internship. Any of this plants will do just perfect for my first project! Please keep these videos coming, they are very useful!

So helpful! I too have watched many videos about how/when to prune my hydrangeas but none as clear and concise with easy to view examples. Thank you!

thank you for making this

Cool idea with the footies. I use organza bags which also help w the birds and insects

Is there a list available of the plants and trees you mentioned ? Happy Gardening 🪴❤️
