    I also enjoyed seeing your Dragon Pot - it looks amazing in the sun. I would imagine finding just the right tree for that amazing pot will be a challenge. 😊

    Honey Locust tree, cool. I have 2 seedlings growing and 2 starting to pop up. I also tried 2 cuttings of a common locust that was going to be cut by the landscaper’s growing in the lawn.

    Great to see your collection is looking so healthy and robust...Your reorganization/cleanup really shows off your trees well...Can never get enough of your updates...The Sequoia forest is really looking nice...I rewatched this video attempting to count the different varieties of trees and lost count at 138, lost focus...Such an amazing collection...Thanks for sharing it...

    This tour reminds me of some of the trees I had to leave in California...Lilac, hibiscus, fruiting peach, pomegranate and 15' tall jackfruit.
    I was really hoping to finally try jackfruit.

    @Darkfire1300 28 днів тому +2

    I love your tours! I am always inspired and so appreciate your honest evaluation of the trees and showing the ones that croak instead of flourish. I have those especially this summer where we had nearly 6 weeks of temperatures in the 100's and high 90s. I was lucky to keep things watered and alive. I think that the pink flowering "sticks" might be panicled hydrangea. I have one in my front yard in the full sun. They aren't near as fussy about conditions as their cousins. THANK YOU! as usual.

    The sabre leaf ficus is awesome 👌your baobab looks really healthy which is a real accomplishment. Well done. The Adansonia digitata is known, in nature, to make up to nine leaflets, which is quite something. Awesome tour.

      21:52 is the birthday pine! It lives just outside the greenhouse door, so gets a cameo appearance not infrequently as Nigel walks us around. Love to see it pop up!
