I love any one that encourages planting trees
We have red buckeyes in my neighborhood in New York. They are soooo beautiful. I have okame cherry trees in my yard and I love them!
I love the variety colors of Maple trees😉
honestly I love every tree
3:45 😂😂😂 I cracked up with that analogy. I’ve never heard that before. Great commentary throughout!
I love this guys personality... he's funny as hell
👹
Crape Myrtle’s are nice because they give you color in late summer and come in a variety of sizes and colors.
Thanks for the information (mainly about the Japanese Persimmon). I love planting for wildlife and my family alike.
I live in the Mojave Desert, spring is a two week period in early March.
Wow, That's amazing, I can't imagne how you manage. So far away.
Thanks!!!
No Redbud? I’m definitely growing one this fall!
True. I tasted it very delicious. Thanks sir
#2 is beautiful. So is #3.
Didnt even mention crepe myrtle! ❤
In hot weather areas can these trees grow well??
Wow love this video! A lot of beautiful trees….gonna make it hard to choose hahaha! 😁❤️
A+
Thanks so much for your help and guidance.
Thankyou
I was thinking of Japanese persimmon and you mentioned at the end
We have a Colorado Spruce in our front yard. It's big. And went up to 35 ft High

Scarlet Buckeye, Carolina Silver Bell, top on our list! great video
I need flowering trees on the beach. What can survive storms in Mexico beach areas?
this helped me so much thank you for making this :)
Beautiful Trees
This is a very informative video but it would have been nice to know the zones these trees prefer.
I thought the same thing???
Quick google search will solve that
These trees will grow in any of the lower 48, so you’re safe. I would add serviceberries, vitex (chaste) tree and desert willow as they’re more valuable to wildlife in North America than a Japanese maple, for example.
@@ejohnson3131 Thank you.
@@ejohnson3131 ఝ
I would add redbud, dogwood and weeping Japanese katsura.
Thanks for the advice on the Japanese persimon tree!
These will do good in east texas?
Would help if you stated the zones they grow in
Does anyone know the name of the variety of the Japanese Maple featured at the 0:44 mark? What a gorgeous Japanese Maple - so much so that I will 100% be getting one if I can track the variety name down! Thanks for any and all recommendations! :)
I've seen the Carolina Silverbell growing in a shady spot. I bet it grows much better in the sun. Thanks for the suggestions.
I myself love the 100 ft tall monsters.
Going to make a list which ones to buy!! Great information 👍
No crepe myrtle? Beautiful tree in the South.
It's very frost tender
THIS IS AWESOME THANK YOUUUUUU
Ohh I DEFINITELY GOTTA DO THIS
I really liked this video Steve, it's the first of yours that I have seen. Thanks.
I too am in central Ala, did you buy the Okame online or at a local nursey? Cost? Will that one grow in 1 acre of woods?
Great choices. I would add Japanese styrax. Just planted “Evening Light “ which is a columnar cultivar suitable for small areas. The pink styrax is a jaw dropper.
Stewartia is another outstanding slow growing tree for smaller gardens. Seems to prefer part sun to filtered sun. The blooms are amazing
Euschapis japonica or Korean sweetheart tree is an outstanding small tree with a truly amazing fall berry display. The favorite tree introduced by JC Raulston . Enough said.
Acer griseum the paperback maple is like a fine wine. The bark when lit by the late afternoon sun is a photo opportunity. As are any of the snake bark maples. Although hard to find Acer conspicuum “Phoenix “ cannot be beat for winter bark display
Not a big fan of our native fringe tree but my chionanthus retusus or Chinese fringe tree is amazing
Have to cut down my Japanese persimmon this year . Some type of disease. Never got a ton of fruit because of damn squirrels
I'm in the SW. It's very hot and dry here and freezes in the winter, zone 7b..
What little trees?
Thanks! Very informative.
Zone 8B full son, clay dominate soil, Must not spread itself, over 15 feet produce seeds or propagate itself beyond small garden Yard still recommend your number one? It is fabulous a well as crepe myrtle.
River Birch??? I wonder if okay to plant around 10 feet from house??
Plant half the width of mature canopy size from house minimum
I need to know zones because I am 5000 above sea level in the mountains with 4 months of snow...

Hello, Are the roots of the Okame Cherry Tree invasive?
What zone are these trees? What would be good for zone 9b? Great video by the way.
Thanks for the ideas. I had some idea of how big trees will grow because of the big old oaks that are in my back yard. They killed the pine across the yard from them. I would like a small tree to put back there further from the oaks and maybe another for my large front yard.
Lol all the trees he showed are massive..
Love the inclusion of native trees. I am curious though, how do you know what a tennis ball tastes like? 😆
nice.
What type of plants are they.perennial or seasonal.and what hardizone they have.
You forgot to mention the zones. ????????
I like native trees and have a Japanese maple and it get diseases.
I have question? Can these trees grow in equator zones?
Where can I get these trees. I’m from southern India. Or is there any possibility for shipping?
Which one of the Japanese maples cancer Vive when wet soil like in South Carolina Myrtle Beach area
I’d love to know the name of the Japanese maple that grows only 3 feet tall as well. I’d buy it immediately
It is called Momiji here in Japan. There are several variations and species. Even here it is not so easy to plant in a vase.
If you wish I can send you some links.
@@wagnerminakawa can it grow in tropical area?
@@wagnerminakawa 4+57🌿🌿
I have a low rise Japanese maple that is 3’ tall for 10 years. Great looking specimen
Sir where from i can buy it
Hi any of these grow fast? I need shade in CA high dessert, but only have a small backyard.
Get a fig tree
I have questions:
1. Are the trees good for zone 9 high heat dry areas.
2. Do the trees have invasive roots?
3. Do the persimmon trees attract feeders like birds and squirrels?
4. Are crepe myrtle a good variety for small spaces?
5. Are there any willowy small trees that are good.
Crepe myrtles come in all sizes. For a small space choose a dwarf or semi-dwarf variety. They can take the heat but if it’s an arid-dry location, they might not thrive. They definitely like the humid south.
What is the name of the maple tree that appears at 31 seconds in the video?
It's a japanese maple " Orange-ola"
I live in Texas south of San Antonio

I love your channel! Subscribed. Thank you for sharing! :)
Im trying to grow a mesquite.
Japanese maples have to grow in compost in my garden in California bc the clay soil kills them.
Small means something different to me I guess 🤷🏾♀️ 15 to 20 feet is not small.
A lemon tree is small to me 😅
How does one plant a cherry blossom tree? I am sorry if I sound too ignorant but the videos on youtube don't really help. where do I start? Is importing an option?
We can only dream about these trees in India...
Lol 😄😄
Same in my country
😆right
Is it possible to put thuja at home?😊
I want to buy all
Can i get this in kerala
I live in Alabama
Is there a japanese maple tou reccomend for Florida m
you said small spaces dude! 30' feet is not small.
aluckygal Maybe you're looking for dwarf trees not small trees.
He lost me after the Japanese maple 🍁 the rest are huge
Hahahaha
isnt dwarf and small about the same?
i have 10 fruit trees and they arent dificult at all, but the sakura and amaryllis are so hard to me xD
I know, how is this small? That’s huge!
J D Cindy Wagner they’re called dwarf trees. 20-30 feet is considered small.
@@raulm2868 wow
I saw this as homework xd
what's a colorful, fast growing tree that grows in Nashville, TN?
Autumn blaze maple
Crape Myrtles
Did he say small trees? I thought he was referring to 5 to 8 feet sizes. BTW, i agree with his choices, but he should have entered Crepe Myrtles, my favorite.
5 to 8 feet is a shrub
can you recommend a Japanese maple thats drought tolerant, dwarf in size, and thrives in full sun ?
YES!!!! Definitely
I've researched I don't think there is one. Same for dogwood sapling too.
Can we grow them in india? If there is 20percent chance, then pls tell from where i can get them?
Northern part maybe
India is very hot. Only if you live in the mountains you can grow these. But I say go on google and specifically search for trees that do good in india.
Talladega nights hands
Dunno how I ended up here as I’m in zone 3...lol...I can’t grow Japanese maples but...Korean maples or the new series of North Wind are a good substitute. They are small trees.
Thought this was about trees for small places or small gardens 🤷🏻♀️
people always whine about taking care of any landscape Its just pure laziness they have. just don't have anything not even grass if yall are too lazy to maintain it t. Loved your presentation and I have 4 japanese maples and a Flowering Yoshimo weeping cherry tree throughout our 5 acres
Justine Ginther i live in a neighborhood that is HOA and my neighbors spent 260 thousand dollars for their home they hate doing any kind of yard work they hate mowing the lawn i don't understand why people spend alot of money to livea a beautiful neighborhood and dont even keep up with their appearance of their place, they should move outin the woods or in an apartment complex where all the landscaping and yard mowing is done for you
You should only be planting Japanese trees in Japan.
The red buckeye is stunning.
Can grow Japanese maple 🍁 in zone 4 South Dakota, Around Rapid City.
20 feet is not a small tree , we are looking for small 😂
Cindy Wagner they’re called dwarf trees. 20-30 feet is considered small fyi.
@@raulm2868 and you can always control the size with the pot size if thats too big still
Comparatively small. Standard trees are 60- 100 ft. These things are more like shrubs.
Can i grow in india??
What small tree's for Virginia?
Karen Boothe * red bud, dwarf magnolia, crepe myrtle
Do these grow in southern india
IMMORTAL Yes.
Wat about tropical island
I'm glad you didn't say *Bradford Pear* Some dumbasses are still recommending these nightmares. Worst tree ever.
Ruthless Goat why is this?
I'll find the Southern Living article....for some reason it won't let me paste the link. Where to begin? Weak wood, grows weak crotches, the heavy foliage makes the tree subject to explosion in storms. The flowers stink and worst of all, the tree has gone rogue, creating a monster of an invasive hybrid with 6 inch thorns that will wreck the tires of a John Deere tractor. Pretty tree when young, but a nightmare when it grows up. Everyone is removing these things, but it may be too late.
Ruthless Goat Thanks so much. I’m looking to plant new trees and will definitely avoid it. I’ll Google the article. Thanks again!
You will not be sorry. There are much better choices.
Funny you should mention this tree. I recently obtained quotes for landscaping the front yard and one landscaper put 4 of them lined up like soldiers right up. Against the front of my home. Glad I read your comment.
Should be magnolia
trees grow!🤯😂
Can we grow Japanese Maple in the climatic conditions like India?
I want Japanese maple
Are Japanese Maples invasive?
I suggest golden shower tree
