One of the reasons I watch your channel religiously is due to the fact that you not only give the name and write it on the screen so I can screenshot for shopping but you show pictures to enhance the experience as you speak, such as to show what it looks like in different seasons & shapes. I love to learn and never feel I’ve wasted twenty minutes listening to you. It is apparent how much effort you and Stephanie put into your channel.
Trees and shrubs are definitely the “bones” of our gardens, and I’m getting more into them as I’ve grown older. I look forward to your future tree videos!
So many wonderful videos lately, and so helpful. I can't wait for the one on redbuds!! ♥ I'm definitely going to do some shopping after these. 😃 Thank you!
We've been debating on trees for several years now and felt like everything we saw was either a dogwood, crabapple, crape myrtle, or redbud here locally. I love this video, there are several here to add to our wishlist! Thanks so much!
Oh, this is perfect, thank you!! I have discovered a new love of magnolia varieties, so I’m always trying to add to my collection. I have Little Gem, Brackens Brown Beauty, Jane, Sweet Bay, and a Tulip Poplar (which I found out is actually in the magnolia family, too).
I have 3 native fringe trees 1 male tree and 2 female trees , the male tree is fuller and thicker it’s blooming fringe is widespread all over the tree . The female tree doesn’t bloom as full but is thinner taller and gets the olive looking fruit . One of my favorite native trees the fragrance is fantastic when it blooms in the spring .
Thanks Jim. Love all of these and have a few😎 the teddy bear magnolia we have 3. Nearly drowned them by planting too deep but with your help on a Q&A video i dug them up and moved to anothet location mounded and 2 yrs later they are thriving and leafing back out!
Omg so many trees I want!!!! I love redbuds! Omg I must have the purple one!!!! 🤍🤍🤍 I love every white flowering tree lol!!! A bunch of these are wonderful I need one of each lol!!! ☀️☀️☀️🪴🪴🪴🪴🌸🌺🌿🌿🌿💚🤍🖤💚🤍🖤🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🍀🍀🍀
Love this one, I’ve been hoping to learn more about trees as I need a few for my smaller yard. Very helpful and Im excited to see more tree videos, thank you!
Thank you Jim for this video. What are your thoughts about Elderberry? I planted an Adams and John’s this year and they have beautiful fragrant blooms already.
Excellent video! I learn so much from you even living in No FL zone 9a. You give us the info on the plants, not just on what the plant does in your zone.
Jim - You need to put the Little Leslie fringe tree on your list -- it is the perfect choice for a smaller, urban space because of its smaller shrubbier habit
Thank you for covering the trees! I had a beautiful Natchez crape myrtle that was close to 20 feet tall at my old house and hated to leave it behind. It did have to be treated for crape myrtle bark scale which can really make the trees look ugly in the Mid-South region.
I purchased my home last year. It's 2 acres and hardly no landscaping. I have never been into gardening until this year. I don't like the cookie cutter style of doing things. This year I have created a large bed in front of my house that I'm working on. All your videos are helping me as I learn. I selected plants based on conditions. The bed is full sun pretty much all day. I hope I did the right thing by choosing my foundation plants first then once established I will fill in the blanks. Now that I have caught the bug I will be working towards developing my whole lot but I'm going to work in stages and see what works.
Would like to hear you talk more about our native halesias/ silver bells. It's one of our most beautiful small trees, but I wish more ppl planted it in their gardens!
they have them at the naturerealm in akron ohio and they are beautiful I want one in my yard, but at my age I will not be able to see it bloom if i get a small one, they have a fringe tree too very pretty, they have cucumber magnolia but it is kind of young right now, we have lots of them at quail hollow state park but you cant see the flowers as they are high up in the tree bummr!
@@rosesmith6208Thank You for the info! I have been looking for one for years too and no one carries them. Our local nursery says they don't do well here but I have found the trees and shrubs I order online that are not sold here do far better!
Hurricane took out 14 Leyland trees I had planted 20 years prior as a screening hedge. They had lost their screening ability so I wasn’t sad to see them go (although cleaning them up and getting them out was a big job). I am now replacing with small ornamental trees….serviceberry, native fringe tree, dogwood, yoshino cherry, styrax, redbud, saucer magnolia….and planting shrubs beneath. Such a better more interesting result.
What a timely video for us! As always, thank you for adding pictures of the mature tree. It really helps us when we are choosing a new tree. I’m really looking forward to your future videos!
AWSOME episode, one thing I noticed is that there really isn’t many in depth tree videos, especially ones for small spaces. Looking forward to your next video
Very interesting video! I have an American Dogwood that has white blooms starting in June in Massachusetts (Zone 5b). It's a beautiful flowering tree - right now it's in full bloom so it's magnificent. I'm not sure how old mine is but I know it's probably at max height so I'm hoping I have it for many more years to come.
I'm glad you will doing more tree videos. We bought a 5 acre property that was a hay field and it has no trees except at the very front. A few pecan trees and oaks. We cut down the Bradford Pears.
I would grow the tree-sized crape myrtles even if they didn't flower. The architectural form, lustrous foliage and smooth trunks are reason enough to deploy them in the yard. Walking under a shady allée of mature 'Muskogees' on a warm summer day makes one pause in delight.
I'm with ya on the crepe myrtle. The "yard" portion of our property is probably about 1.5 acres. There are over 20 full size crepe myrtle trees! About 18 too many, and more pop up all the time! Ugh.
Would like for you to share your knowledge on columnar trees. Thank you for time, patience, appreciation and knowledge. You are so willing to share. Again, thank you.
This is the first video I’ve watched and I love how you explain all different aspects of the tree and the growing zones. I’m looking for trees for different areas of my property. I want to replace the sidewalk trees as they are too big and have destroyed the sidewalk and are threatening to run into the street now. I’m was looking at crepe myrtle as they are not as common in NJ. But I’m not sure how they will perform on the side walk. Also I’m looking for other fruiting trees for wildlife in my backyard ( hopefully they will not eat my other plants as much). And of course I can never have enough flowers and colors in my backyard
Great video! I’m so excited for your future focus on more trees, especially the mid-size options and those with foliage & bark interest. One of my favorites that I’d love you to cover is Twisty Baby Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Lace Lady'). I’ve now seen a few of these at my clients’ homes and I’m in love. They are architectural and graceful in form both with and without leaves. And then the scent when they do have flowers is just heavenly. I think they are less common in out local nurseries, but it’s one of my ‘must have’s’ for the next phase of my garden design.
@@kathyhornbuckle4966 Oh dear - that’s disappointing. I’ve heard the root spread can be an issue. I’m still researching and considering where I could put this in my landscape safely. Thanks for the heads up!
Hey Jim I love your content. Your videos helped me get into gardening/landscaping. In your future videos would you be open to featuring plants that also grow outside your zone? I’m in zone 9b and we have some tropical flowering trees like tabebuia and orchid trees that I’d love to learn more about. Keep up the great content.
I have planted well over 100 trees on my 2 acre property. As a plant “collector” I have tried almost one of everything. I live on the edge of climate change in one of the hottest southernmost regions of the southeast where summers are routinely hitting 100 plus and humidity stays above 60%. Even have to contend with frost a couple of times in winter randomly so anything tropical will certainly die to ground. Also had a four foot flood go over the land once. As well as high winds from annual hurricanes/trop storms. The most difficult place to garden in my opinion. Worse than Fla. Most trees struggle here regardless due to frequent heavy rain followed by weeks long droughts. I’ve tested just about every tree on your list and each have their own challenges here on the coast. crepe myrtles do the best. They bloom, grow quickly and provide badly needed shade. Yes maybe overused here for that reason, but there are so many newer cultivars to choose from. cypress or gem magnolia would be my second choice but provide little shade. Swamp magnolias are great too providing interest, blooms, and open shade. The other magnolias are iffy here. I just can’t find anything else that can take our climate the way myrtles do as long as they don’t leaf out too early in February when it can get in the 80s for a time and reverse to cold at night just enough to bite any new foliage. I’ve learned not to fertilize them till later. Just my toughest most useful and beautiful trees. We extreme gardeners LOVE the crepe myrtles for the above reasons as u could imagine where everything struggles! Watching your channel I wish I had your more temperate climate because I would have more choices of plants. We certainly can’t grow cherries or redbuds here!
Hi everybody. ... enjoy the idea of more tree videos …. Great job … I have driven past panther creek … are they open to the public…. So many around are just for wholesale business …. You know if you name them they are gonna get a ton of calls 👍
Hi Jim. I’m happy to hear you’ll be doing more videos on trees. I’m currently deciding to plant a small tree in my backyard. Something that gets just 10-15’ tall. My choices are flowering dogwood, crape Myrtle or dwarf fruit tree. Any recommendations?
Great video Jim, always informative and helpful...I'd love some of these trees, but have a long narrow yard. Have used Redbud, Royal Star Magnolia and a Baby Magnolia. Looking at Tokyo Tower too in Zone 6B, full sun.
Jim, great video. How far away would you plant an upright Japanese Maple from a Teddy Bear Magnolia? I did 10 feet but am wondering if I should have done more.
I don't see magnolias in Colorado but they would be fun. Actually, most of those flowering trees would be fun to see in Colorado since they're not common. Most aren't hardy though. All well.
A little late watching this, but when you go to cover specific tree groups could you please include Dogwoods? Especially the Scarlet Fire Dogwood. Great knowledge you bring and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!😃
Been a fan of your channel for years! What advise do you have for us that have moved into new development neighborhoods with no shade whatsoever? But HOA is requiring a tree in front of the house. And not Crepe Myrtle lol I have a South facing home.
If you haven’t already made a video about proper pruning of crepe myrtles, you should! As The Grumpy Gardener in Southern Living says don’t commit crepe MURDER! In the Nashville area, those who committed crepe murder last year (2022) paid the price due to the incredible flash freeze we had a few days before Christmas. Lots & lots of literally murdered ones around this spring. Just desserts??? Maybe!
Okay, I love crepe myrtle too, but the can be a pain to keep under control with “ Crepe Murdering” them. Ji, is it best to fist leave them be or keep trimmed to a reasonable hight and cross branches removed? Thank you
I put in a Merlot this spring, died within a month. Realized it was too wet. Dug out and added Pine Fines, planted a Forest Pansy, same hole, died within a month with less watering. Guess I need a soil test. It was fill brought in after we had a pool put in. Must be crap soil as I have not lost a newly planted tree before.
I love my American fringe tree. Interesting how the flowers differ between the female and male plants. (Male flowers are larger, female flowers are more profuse and smaller.)
Thank you for this!! I have a peculiar suggestion request. What would be great in the Summer that isn't so Dense in the summer (not giving off too much shade ?) I love magnolia but isn't it provide dense shade in the summer? I'd like to plant some roses under or nearby but the shade scares me
Hi ..love your videos n help .. but not sure how n were to post questions.. like evergreen/grass in pots in shade 🥴 in winter (saw ur video) ? In Delaware n afraid they will freeze .. can u answer? I put in a kaleidoscope n sweet box in pot doing great (your suggestion-love it) but after I’ll need to put in ground in fall 🧐🧐 thanks
QUESTION: I’ve always wondered about crepe Myrtle varieties. I’ve noticed some have more of a straight sticks look while some have an almost weeping feminine soft branches and leaves. Specifically I’ve seen some that are softer with green leaves that also flower a lavender like color. I’d love to know what to search for. I want to line my drive way with them. I don’t see crepe myrtles sold often in south Charlotte and when I do see one I’m not sure if it’s straight or more weepy.
When I think of magnolias, I think the HUGE trees with the hard dark leaves. I was at a flea market (Houston, TX) and there was a small plant about 2 ft in height. I asked what it was and was told it was a "Susan Magnolia" Hmmm.....my name is Susan! Was this guy pulling my leg? Did he overhear my husband call out my name and was pulling a selling tactic on me? So I pulled out my iPhone, Googled it, and low and behold, there IS a small tree called Susan Magnolia! I snapped it up for a steal of $25. I've had it 3 Springs now, it's grown to about 6 ft. It's beautiful! Talk about REPEAT BLOOMER!!!! The only thing I don't care for is the multi-trunks. But this tree is my baby, it's a deep pink color. You mentioned some of the girl-named magnolias and I was bummed that Susan wasn't mentioned! Nevertheless, I enjoy all your videos! (And I despise my husbands crepe myrtles, they rain buds and flowers on my car in the drive way.)
Jim, my species Redbud is growing but has never flowered. It's 3 years in it's part shade spot & there's enough sun & nutrients for flowering plants around it. Do they need to reach a certain age to flower?
I am looking for a tree for my front yard, not to big, I live in northern Calif zone 9.b. White flowers 15-20 ft high single stem. I like birch but they get to tall. My last house I planted 3 and they got to tall and they cut them down, about broke my heart. Thanks I don't know if I can get some of the ones you list except the crape mertle
i see that flamethrower redbud in people's yards and i gotta say, even though it looks pretty close up, in the landscape they just look like trees that are dying. i thought i liked them but they just don't look great
i love crape mytrles, but I don t live in teh south I live in ohio and mine come back from teh ground except the one big pink that i protect with my little gem. it was supposed to be a red rocket crape myrtles, but it is pink have a little one growing next to it and it might be the red rocket as it is not growing as fast as the pink one, it get protected when I protect my little gem magnolia when I used to go south, I loved seeing these crape myrtles due to flowering and bark coloring. I have a braken brown beauty magnolia and it is five years old I protect it with a greenhouse tarp and a heater set on thermostate. just bought 3 of them from lowes that they werfe just going ot let die in the clearance I will test it's hardiness here, if I Lose one it not a costly loss two will be protected with greenhouse tarp but no heater. one will be partially coverd as it is still a small tree and want it to get older and bigger to increase it's hardiness.

Flowering trees add major curb appeal to any front garden and desirable shade in summer heat.

My smoke tree fades to army green with purple tips before the summer. Same with another in the neighborhood. Both in full sun
Magnolias have been around since the dinosaurs. I find that amazing.
Thanks I appreciate the tree content

I'm glad you will doing more tree videos. We bought a 5 acre property that was a hay field and it has no trees except at the very front. A few pecan trees and oaks. We cut down the Bradford Pears.
I would have cut down the Bradford Pears too. Great decision.
That was a smart move to get rid of the pear tree there a nightmare
Great video. Thank you. I’m always looking for colorful and unique trees that will grow on my 2 acres here in the Florida panhandle zone 8b.
Very nice video!
Thanks for yet a great video!
Fingers crossed for a long video / series on the most fragrant trees 😊

Until the honey dew from the aphids drips on you🤣. I agree with you on the older ones checking all the boxes for what makes a great ornamental tree.

So I pulled out my iPhone, Googled it, and low and behold, there IS a small tree called Susan Magnolia! I snapped it up for a steal of $25. I've had it 3 Springs now, it's grown to about 6 ft. It's beautiful! Talk about REPEAT BLOOMER!!!! The only thing I don't care for is the multi-trunks. But this tree is my baby, it's a deep pink color. You mentioned some of the girl-named magnolias and I was bummed that Susan wasn't mentioned! Nevertheless, I enjoy all your videos! (And I despise my husbands crepe myrtles, they rain buds and flowers on my car in the drive way.)
That's great. It isn't one that is grown all that much. Most nurseries settled for the same few.
Lol about crepe myrtles 😂
I am getting ready to try air layer my snow fountain with root balls,first time, i want to know if i can put in pot for winter zone6b?
What's everyone's thoughts on Heptacodium - Seven Sons Flower? Doesn't see it used very often, why?
Jim, my species Redbud is growing but has never flowered. It's 3 years in it's part shade spot & there's enough sun & nutrients for flowering plants around it. Do they need to reach a certain age to flower?
I am looking for a tree for my front yard, not to big, I live in northern Calif zone 9.b. White flowers 15-20 ft high single stem. I like birch but they get to tall. My last house I planted 3 and they got to tall and they cut them down, about broke my heart. Thanks I don't know if I can get some of the ones you list except the crape mertle
Where can I find an Empress of China Dogwood in North Carolina?
You are right. Crape myrtle is way too overplanted.
How exactly do you measure a tree to know it's height and width?
❤️❤️❤️🌳🌳🌳
Should I prune a Japanese Magnolia?I have a tree about 60 yrs.old,it's 20 ft. high with limbs all the way to the ground.
jim can you give me a recommendation where to buy styrax japonicus near you thank you
i see that flamethrower redbud in people's yards and i gotta say, even though it looks pretty close up, in the landscape they just look like trees that are dying. i thought i liked them but they just don't look great
In SW Ohio my Janes always get hit with frost😢
Do you not have, your own nursery anymore?
Had lots of Okami Cherry trees drop dead on me for no good reason. I suspect some fungal disease.
Where is the website of this trees nursery?

i love crape mytrles, but I don t live in teh south I live in ohio and mine come back from teh ground except the one big pink that i protect with my little gem. it was supposed to be a red rocket crape myrtles, but it is pink have a little one growing next to it and it might be the red rocket as it is not growing as fast as the pink one, it get protected when I protect my little gem magnolia when I used to go south, I loved seeing these crape myrtles due to flowering and bark coloring. I have a braken brown beauty magnolia and it is five years old I protect it with a greenhouse tarp and a heater set on thermostate. just bought 3 of them from lowes that they werfe just going ot let die in the clearance I will test it's hardiness here, if I Lose one it not a costly loss two will be protected with greenhouse tarp but no heater. one will be partially coverd as it is still a small tree and want it to get older and bigger to increase it's hardiness.
