  • Josh Allen is making his dream come true: Developing a nursery and botanic garden specializing in rare succulents and cycads. “There’s a big market for beautiful, hard-to-find plants,” he says, adding that creating new hybrids and "playing with plant genetics" are what he does best. Josh especially enjoys Aloe hybridizing and the “purposeful breeding” of rare and desirable species.
    In this video for landscape designers, discerning homeowners and succulent collectors, you'll meet a remarkable plantsman, see what he has accomplished on his three-acre, rocky hilltop in Vista, CA, and learn what he offers that is highly desirable, available nowhere else, and that might enhance your own garden!

    Thank you Deborah for letting us hear Josh’s story and see his creations. So refreshing! I live in the cold northern Midwest, but am fascinated by succulents and cactus. I have made numerous mini indoor succulent/ cactus gardens as a result of reading your beautiful books. Please keep doing what you’re doing!

      I would be interested to know if there are some smaller aloes that would work in containers. I’m in Rancho Bernardo and our summers are quite toasty.

      Hi Liz, You're in luck, North San Diego is THE Mecca for ornamental small aloes perfect for containers. Oasis Water Efficient Gardens nursery in north Escondido has a great selection. Oasis is owned by Altman Plants, where one of the world's foremost Aloe hybridizers works: Kelly Griffin, who is known for, among other things, colorful, textural and intriguing dwarf aloe hybrids. www.oasis-plants.com @@lizadams6227

    how does he keep bermuda grass and weeds away?

    • @QueenofSucculents
      @QueenofSucculents  4 місяці тому

      Maybe the same way I do...I apply a pre-emergent herbicide to bare soil before winter storms to stop weed seeds from germinating. One brand is Preen amzn.to/42PPj8k (affiliate link). Hey Josh, if you see this, would you reply?
