Any audio issues are completely worth the priceless information!
Truth
My favorite quote," plants don't read books".
Just heard that. True !
Oh my gosh! What a brilliant observer of plants. Truly loved Dr Dirr and admire their garden. Thanks Jim and the audio isn’t that big a problem folks so watch! You will learn.
Thank you Jim. The Manual of Woody Landscape Plants is the horticultural bible to so many of us. And thank you, Dr. Dirr for all your work.
Loved this video!! I could listen to him and Dr. Armitage talk about plants for days! I wish I were younger, rich, and had about 10 acres so I could plant and watch grow all the beautiful things they have shared with us! 😊💖
I say this daily. If I could plant a tree or shrub every day or at least every week I’d have an excess of endorphins and dopamine, plenty in excess to harvest to sell to all the poor people who have never been able to enjoy a garden.
I totally agree Robin.
Me too!
I quite enjoyed this. I feel like I could grab a cup of coffee and listen to him for hours. Thank you, Jim!
Lovely colors!, terrific information!, & be kind to yourself. The audio is fine. Thanks for posting. v
Thank you very much!
@@JimPutnam , You're welcome very much! Thanks for ❤ing me. v
What a great video - a most gracious and knowledgeable host for sure. I've been fortunate to visit Dr. Dirr's garden on several occasions and am always blown away. Having visited in Spring, it was so much fun to see everything in their Autumn glory. He & Bonny (who is a gifted artist) are always so happy to open their garden and their home to those who wish to visit, wander & sit a spell and talk horticulture. And he (almost) always sends you home with a souvenir - a hydrangea, bulbs, seedlings - I was excited to hear him talk about the "Irish Lace" hydrangea - I recently acquired one from him thru the American Hydrangea Society - this past summer, since we were unable to meet in person, he donated hydrangeas for a fund raiser. I'm so glad you got to visit with him in his garden - he is a treasure !!! thanks to you & Dr. Dirr for sharing this video - it was a great watch on a Saturday afternoon!!
Well Dr. Dirr just blew my plant budget for next year, lol. Thanks for the content and the audio issues weren't too bad.
As a ‘82 LA grad from UGA, I proudly rely on his Manual of Woody Landscape Plants.
Great video. Could listen to him talk all day. And Dr. Armitage.
Love these interviews with iconic horticulturists and growers, Jim! You are really carving out a unique niche for your channel in UA-cam.
I have several of Dr Dirrs’ books and am so grateful that he wrote another book. Thank you for the tour of your garden; you truly love your work. Jim you’ve outdone yourself bringing these hero’s to our screens. Now to get a Dan Hinkley interview and garden tour. I remember ordering his catalogues from Heronswood each year just to get an education on the plants he collected (and his humorous introductions).
I admire Dr Dirr and adore his books, thank you Jim.
Wow you've had my two favorite plant authors you've had on here. Michael Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants has long been the most used book in my gardening library. Allan Armitage's Herbaceous Perennial Plants is another favorite. Georgia is one lucky state to have both these people!
Dr. Dirr is exploding with words. I would enjoy him as a professor.
Can we get quarterly visits to see the same trees in different times of the year? It would be a lot of work to show the previous seasons image for each tree but oh man what a valuable video that would be.
Or, time stamps for the same specimen in other videos for each season… 😬 don’t hate me 😂 I’m greedy, I know! But such a video would be viral I bet.
Great video! The knowledge just flowing out of this guy is amazing. Thanks for this series Jim!
Hands down Michael Dirr is THE best of the best! His knowledge, passion, inspiration, and humor make what would be an overwhelmingly task of learning about trees and shrubs fun! I have all of his books but my bible is "Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs" and I am thrilled with this series - I could listen to him all day. Because of him I also was inspired to check out Longwood Gardens and Mt. Cuba Center (DuPont) in Delaware. This is a must have and Thank You for having him on - I hope you do more videos together!
Is the book you referenced as your Bible better than "Dirr's Encyclopedia of Trees and Shrubs"?
@@MrEunderwood It is an illustrated encyclopedia so you may be talking about the same thing. He has another book for warmer areas of the country too.
Really loved hearing about these plants. His knowledge of plants is incredible.
This might be my favorite “guest” video of yours. A wealth of info. Love the Parrotia’s!
Stunning japanese maples. The large upright orange/yellow japanese maple that you cut to when he was talking about Seiryu is gorgeous. Maybe it's the Sango Kaku he mentioned?
Thank you for the longer video! When someone is this knowledgeable and easy to listen to, I always hope for a long video.
Such a great guy!! Dr Dirr !! So loved this video learned a lot! Thanks Jim and gracious Dr Dirr
Audio quality - really not a problem, understood almost everything.
Dr. Dirr - AMAZING!! And I've never seen anyone, even Jim, speak so quickly! I'll be running through this again at 75% speed! 😁 Thanks for these wonderful videos.
Loved to hear Dr. Dirr speak. What a font of knowledge. And now I want to go out and plant all the specimens he mentioned! LOL!
Love the longer videos.30 minutes plus are perfect.
Beautiful fall colors in his garden! 🍁
What a stunning array of trees and shrubs! Now I need more fall color🍁
“You build the garden for yourself, your family, your wife and you don’t really worry what the neighbors think or when the garden designer comes in and says boy, there’s no homogeneity in this…the hell with homogeneity! I like spontaneity and diversity and you can do whatever you want in your own garden.” - Dr. Michael Dirr ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this video! Dr Darren is a God!
That was a gift to tour with Dr. Dirr ! Thank you
This is an important garden. Absolutely honored to see it !
that Lindera is breathtaking = a Must Have!!! Thanks
I was introduced to Dirr literature when I began a horticulture night college course. All the courses required 1 main text book. Michael Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants! It changed my life and 15 years later I've now started a hobby nursery growing native and unusual plants not common in the trade here in southern Ontario. Time and time again, I still reference that book and it will always be top in my collection. Thank you Michael Dirr!
Great info, love trees. Beautiful fall color!
I am not worthy! What a gift to see this video! I have his Manual of Woody Landscape Plants book since the 1990s when I took horticultural classes. I still refer to that book all the time. I especially enjoy his comments about landscape use. This video shows newer varieties. 😊
Great video with Dr. Dirr. His plant knowledge is endless, I think. His yard is pretty wonderful. I noticed the audio issues you mentioned for all of about 15 seconds. Then I was so engaged listening to Dr. Dirr talk about plants that Ibpaid no attention to the quality of the audio.
So glad I just went to about 10 mins in to get past the video because this video and this wonderful nurseryman a true jewel!
Very good video, worth watching. Thanks.
“The H%#* with homogeneity, I want spontaneity” when referring to one’s own home garden. Lol. Love it! This dude marches to the beat of his own drum! Refreshing. Man that’s a good quote! Look at all those colors. I’ve tried to stay away from planting dogwoods…until now. I found the Appalachian Joy Dogwood online after watching this and bought one. It will fit in well on my property with the other 50 plus Japanese maples I have.
These videos make my DAY! Thank you so much. I am a huge plant nerd and I always seem to find new and exiting plants on here. :D
Thank you for posting this video despite the audio issue. If I listen closely, I can understand Dr. Dirr. And he is so worth hearing!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
When you were in Athens Ga It’s not far from us. ROYSTON
Wow, the man is an absolute encyclopedia of plant and tree knowledge! I could listen to him all day! Thanks for sharing!
I love these interviews. I wish that you would list the plants discussed with time signatures in your description. It would be very helpful for future reference.
wow...Mr Dirr is pure gold !!
My favorite video yet. Love watching and learning about plants and gardening.
Sage advice. Thank you Jim!!!!
I just finished watching the nursery upload with Dr. Dirr and immediately came here to watch his home garden. Jim I am so grateful for these videos/series. Absolutely inspirational!
I thoroughly enjoyed having Dr. Dirr as a professor 30 years ago. He hasn't changed a bit. Thanks for the video Jim!
I'm in Knoxville and I can confirm Appalachian series dogwoods are the best!
I'm nearby in Maryville 🙂
Somehow I missed the video when it was released. AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for sharing these fascinating plants with us.
What a lovely knowledgeable man, that was a treat to watch 👌
So glad you got the video up. This is a nightmare for a UA-camr and I’m sorry that happened but you managed it just perfectly.
What a wealth of information. Beautiful colors. Thanks Jim.
Another amazing video. Thank you Jim and dr Dirr.
Lol, don’t worry about the tech, makes me feel good when even the experts mess up something since I haven’t even started doing a channel. I love t(e fall foliage, what great shows, I am going to set some of these planted on my property so I can enjoy the fall colors and stop listing the colors in the east. Thank you for sharing, I’ll be looking for one of those hydrangea books too!
Glad you were able to meet your role model.
Cat grooming himself on camera by the beech tree is hilarious
Taking care of business video bomb
I absolutely loved watching this video, I’ve got my eye out for trees I didn’t even know about until now!
Great video! So much wisdom! I'm on the hunt for a spice bush now! I had to laugh at the cat licking his butt, he just doesn't care.
“If you can keep it looking good around here, then you can keep looking good anywhere.”
“To hell with homogeneity, you can do whatever you want in your own garden”
Thanks for sharing!!! I loved this beautiful tour and all the plant introductions and information!!! 😊💖🌲🍁🌲👍👋
What a wonderful man.
What a fascinating man! Wish I had been in one of his university classes.
Love Dr. Dirr ! Can’t tell you how many of his textbooks I have on my shelf, and I refer to them continuously - they were a fantastic investment in my horticultural learning process. Thank you!!
I loved listening to and watching Dr Dirr !!! Thank you Jim- great video !!! I can’t wait to watch part 2.
Love this video! Amazing plants to look for and wonderful insight! Thank you so much!!
One of my favorite videos you have produced
Growing up in East Tennessee outside of Knoxville, I had a backyard filled with native dogwoods. They had naturally horizontal growing branches. When the wind blew the rustling leaves sounded like taffeta petticoats. In fall, the leaves turned scarlet. It was wonderful. Of course the spring flowers of at least a dozen tress was breathtaking. It sounds like Dr Dirr doesn't have these native trees.
We all did in the South, but unfortunately we have disease issues in them. He is just pointing out that new breeding is finding resistance to these problems.
@@JimPutnam I hope the dogwoods of my childhood can be saved. I haven't lived there in some time. Covid has kept me from visiting lately. Beautiful trees are under-appreciated treasures.
I just had the most surreal experience watching this video. Earlier today my wife and I visited the Sarah P Duke Gardens in Durham NC and we saw a beautiful large shrub that I said looked like some kind of cryptomeria, but we couldn't find a tag to identify it. Then I come home and watch this video and Dr. Dirr shows a plant that looks EXACTLY like it. And imagine my shock when he says it was introduced at the Sarah P Duke Gardens! I guess this is a sign that I have to get one now
I wish you would do more plants with more colder zones!!! I still love your videos and will watch every one. I live in NY and would love recommendations for my zone.
Great interview. Thanks
Really enjoyed this video! Yes what a wonderful resource for a gardener! I'll need to check out his books. Thank you Jim!
The closed caption translater does a great job of interpreting Michael Dirr (and you, Jim).
Wonderful to see Dr Dirr _in situ_ . Odd, he doesn’t sound like he reads.
Those shorts…
Haha!
What an impressive man.
Excellent program.
This is VIDEO GOLD. Especially since I live 20 miles from this fella. I thought we were in zone 7 B. ?
Thank you 🙏🏼 I’ve learned so much. Can’t wait to start planting some trees now. 😀
An amazing tour!!!
awesome video..so much info!
Outstanding. OUTSTANDING
He mentions a hybrid Hydrangea at 23:40. One parent, "Lady in Red" is one of my favorites. It's a tough red stemmed lace-cap. I'd love to see this heat tolerant hybrid with with the cross of Bloomstruck. - Lots of great info here. I think I'll ask for Dr. Dirr's updated book for Christmas. Thanks!
What a wonderful rich store of knowledge Dr Dirr has! I have all his books now. Please have more videos with him! Where oh where can I buy Lindera angustifolia? I have had no luck finding it…
I cant believe you got Dirr on your videos. Lucky bastard
Fantastic tour! Thanks from Oregon
Superb! A wealth of information.
I am also a seed starter. So many possibilities in each seed. Never before seen.
Loved this. Agree grow want you want. It’s your garden. Thank you for giving the names and zones so I can try to find some of these trees
He is amazing! Great video especially considering the multi-zone hardiness of plants shown; definitely adding a few to my list up in zone 6.
Very knowledgeable Video, great information . Thanks
Great tour & lots of good info. I'm in zone 10a in St Petersburg Florida so I'm a little salty that apparently everyone in zone 4-9 can grow so many things I cannot. 😅
Wow what a national treasure he is! I love trees too and it’s the first thing I notice when visiting a new area! I bit the hydrangea craze this year and planted Bobo’s but was so disappointed with their blooms turning brown after white and spotted foliage. Dug them up and planted Little Quick Fire which are supposed to turn pink to red in my zone 7b MS.
🌿🌳🍂🌾BEAUTIFUL ‼️🌾🍂🌳🌿
Uh oh. My plant wish list just got longer!
❤love this video❤
Two great videos in a row, each with a touch of philosophy.
Good information
I NEED that Irish Lace hydrangea.
