    Gardening is nature’s algorithm. It captures and holds your attention forever.
    (As do your videos!)

    Your videos make me happy. I am glad that you didnt show cutting down the tree. I have several that realistically need to go, but I just cant. Want to come over to Western Washington for a spell? As always, thank you, John!

    I love ferns, and nearly fell out with your channel, when you said that you were getting rid of the ferns, glad you talk fast and further said that they were going somewhere else. A sigh of relief!

    It is hard parting with trees. In March we cut down our self-seeded wattle tree as it kept overpowering our backyard and we had to get it pruned twice a year or it would have consumed our house. It was a beautiful tree, however. People keep suggesting we remove our Chinese elm tree but we are hanging on. So far it has had roots enter the water pipes two years ago however we got the plumber to divert the pipes around the tree so it won't happen again. That work was very costly, I'm afraid. Pruning the tree every two or three years is also expensive. Now to our latest tree removals - three pencil pines (Italian cypress) and a beautiful cypress 'blue ice' in the front garden had cankers (indicated at first by dieback on various branches). I don't know how that happened but I consulted an arborist and he said the chances of the trees surviving were slim. I am sorry but I can't spend my life anxiously watching for further dieback and more cankers so we had the trees removed. Apparently certain cypress are vulnerable to cankers and I won't be choosing cypress to replace those trees. It is always hard cutting down a tree.

    Oh I probably would have cried! I love flowering cherry trees. I bet it really hurt to do that.

    I love the Crinodendron. Are they ok to plant by a wall in a sunny spot?

    I got to cut down a few trees . WIll it be ok to leave the tree stump and plant around it or would it be better to take it out of the ground fully ?

    Is it possible for a cherry tree to be grown in a container?

    That tree stump looks awkwardly placed. Best make sure your public liability insurance is in place!
