I am addicted to your programme and Friday can never come too soon. Thank you so much. What are the chances that for each scene/setting you freeze a shot and label the plants about you. I often get distracted from the immediate topic and admire the form of the plant(s) behind you. I know it would involve more work in the editing phase but I'd be very grateful....and it could be a notice of a future programme topic. Thanks again. Big Fan.
Yes, that must be frustrating! I'm sure they still fill an ecological niche though, pollinating, dispersing seeds, and providing food for predators like foxes? It says they protect gum trees from mistletoe, although I'm not sure how much protecting gum trees need from mistletoe. @@thehorti-culturalists
💞✨Charmed with the meander through the early harbingers of spring flowering. Such vibrancy of information and plant behaviours. I enjoy both your input, which makes for a relaxing and enjoyable watch 🌿💙👍
My mind is blown too many shrubs like these and the scented wintering flowers 🌸 but no room to grow them but I have my eyes 👀 on the shrub and treeless areas in our community garden for our village. I also love japonica jepieris wth their bunches of weeping flowers non deciduous. Thank you so much guys.
Whaaat? Double flowers of the quince involve the modification of the stamens. Whoever knew that? Always learning. Thanks for willingness to share your huuuuge knowledge base.
I got Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' (double flower) as a small plug because of the picture of the flowers in early spring. But because I have never seen it in a garden or any place have kept it growing in a pot in semi-shade for 3 years. Finally I get to see it in a garden! I will probably divide it and keep some in the pot because I love it early spring color near my door so I don't have to wonder around in continual rain. Thanks again!
Great video, as usual, I am always learning from your content. I have tried in the past to propagate a 60ish year old red double flowering quince without success, but you have spurred me on to try again (fingers crossed)
Thankyou for your show. Both informative and fun! Going back to arums, I have the death lilies, how do I kill them? There are too many to dig them all up. This there a product I can use? My place is close to Wilsons Prom and I have a dog .... so I don't want to kill any animals. Cheers.
Cut the leaves off and paint with neat roundup is the only way apart from digging them out. the needs to be done as soon as you cut the leaves to suck it down into the tubers and won’t be 100 % successful. Digging is the best way I have to say and don’t let them go to seed! Regards Stephen
I wish my stachyurus would be happy but our winters are too unpredictable...also the edgeworthia cultivar "winter gold" that I have, seems to be more hardy than the straight species...bigger leaves and more color...
my big patch of kerria japonica over the past two years have made a very fast decline and it mostly died off this year . sad since it's one of my favorites
I would dig the live bits out in winter and pot them up for a season then improve the soil for replanting. if you love it don’t give up. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists the previous year i pruned it and later in the summer the summer the leaves got spotted and fell off and the canes got spotted and the stems ended up dieing over the winter and very week puny suckers came up ths year
Eye’m so colorblind I couldn’t see the red quince next to the white one. When Matthew said Look at the contrast, I said what is he talking about. Then I thought… right… I can’t see red on a green background…

Many thanks for watching! Feel free to ask if there’s something particular you want the name of.
I'd love to see a thorough tour of Stephen's entire garden! I'd happily watch a 3-hour video 😂(in segments)
Maybe one day! Regards Stephen
The Opossums are our friends, they eat over 5,000 ticks every week (plus they're adorable)! : ) You are lucky to have them!
Ours are quite different and eat plants not ticks. Still cute but do enormous damage in our gardens. Regards Stephen

Great work guys.
We have followed Stephen's work for years and his knowledge of plants is mind boggling.
Many thanks.

Thanks for watching - glad we could help!
Positively packed with information! 💚
Glad you think so! Regards Stephen

Perhaps try layering it down into a pot or the ground , that may work. Regards Stephen
thanks for the plant list in the description. 💛 Great questions asked.
Very welcome.
As we are coming into winter, I wonder if you could talk about or demonstrate Acer pruning and care?
Will do - we'll add it to our shorts list.
They're all so beautiful. The quinces are my favourites. Are they self fertile? Or would I need more than one?
The flowering quinces are self pollinating but more than one is extra beautiful. Regards Stephen

At least you figured it out! Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists Van Gogh and I… same color blindness. 8 percent of men.
what is that shrubs
Sorry but not sure which shrub you are talking about. Regards Stephen
Kerria japonica plentiflora, you forgot to detail the sunand water requirements
Semi shade to full sun and although they ove moisture they can cope well with dry periods. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists Thank you for the information.
Stephen, peach melba is the perfect name for all the reasons you stated. Peach Sutherland just wouldn’t work.
Ha Ha ! Regards Stephen
