So nice to look out in snowy weather a be able to see that yes, there's still life out there!
This cracks me up. We have a tree with the most healthiest, massive honey bee hole in it, and we have gotten five healthy hives from it in the last year and 4 months. But it's right by my storage barn and sometimes we compete for space. But you could see your bees flying around you, going about their business, same as you. I love nature 💞
Great choice on the evergreen tree. My favorite types of pines are definitely the "blue" ones. It would look great this winter with lights strung around it!
I appreciate you adding more info on trees and tree selections to the mix. Much appreciated. I love trees, especially ones with year round interest.
I love so much Iseli Fastigiate Blue Spruce, i have huge in my front garden
Aaron is a keeper
Had been thinking about your bees and wondering how they were doing. Glad to see these ones haven't flown off!
I have an area in my yard that I would like to keep somewhat native with different evergreens. Love the woodland look with a few others like hydrangea, hosta, astilbe, etc. I've been looking for a blue spruce to hide a power pole but not grow too tall that the power company would come and cut the top off because it grew into the power line. Love this one!!! Thanks Laura!!
I am so excited about this tree I have been searching for a small ever green that will grow in my area. I also wanted something on the smaller side that was stand out from a wall of Virginia creeper. Love it.
Just love your videos..my mum love to see your videos and my garden looks beautiful just because of you 😘😘
Its so beautiful. love this tree. Great explanation Laura
Laura you are the American Monty Don (except female and prettier) but just as enthusiastic and knowledgeable a gardener who demonstrates plants, techniques and all things gardening at your lovely garden. Would you consider a TV programme like Gardeners' World american version I'm sure lots of people would watch it.
Monty Don was once a (male) model and extra handsome!
I'm loving that tree Isle of Pines and I need more of them on my property for winter interest and privacy so I definitely will be getting one of those it looks perfect for the location that you put it enjoy
What a lovely idea for winter interest. I have always loved evergreens since I lived in Germany. They really have great evergreen gardens which look great in winter and provide a backdrop for summer flowers as well. A win win solution. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ideas really enjoyed the video. Ps I think Aaron was right about the other one being a bit messy for this area.
I have to get this one for my garden. Stunner.
So nice to see one I missed. The chicken coop before the demo of the root cellar. Your gardens have changed so much! And we're watching the Hartley being built!
I am definitely going to plant this spruce, thank you!!!!!
*replaying old videos while waiting for new upload* 🤣🤣
Beautiful tree! Thanks for the informative video. I've always thought of a lot of evergreens as trash trees/shrubs. But these smaller varieties with nice shape and color are very nice. I can see you decorating it at Christmas time!
We like this evergreen, but, the first one wasn't messy it was ugly, this one is just great, we love, this space makeover you fid, just perfect, thanks for sharing.Blessing!!!!!!
Thanks now I know how to plant my baby blue spruce❤🌲
I love blue spruces!
Hey Laura, you should find a spot where you can plant a Tigereye Sumac. I think you would *love* one of them! I absolutely love mine. I plan to find some of them to plant on the farm, they're so beautiful with the color changes they go through and the shape they have. Plus they don't get super tall either.
🌱Be Blessed ღ 🌼
She finally planted one this March or May
Awesome explanation!
Great video. I've noticed before that you sometimes keep starter plants in your greenhouse for a while. Could you do a video showing how to care for them if you can't plant them for a while? There's times I have to wait for days or even weeks to plant and the annuals in 4" pots tend to not look so good after a little while. Thanks!
Love your video!! So inspiring
I'm a zone 8 but I love this blue evergreen! I need to find a similar one for my zone!
Try ‘Wichita Blue’ Rocky Mountain juniper.
I loved the first video of you planting this tree with the others in that bed. Today I learn I can't use this tree in my growing zone of 8b. What a disappointment. Is there an alternative tree that is for this area? Thanks for all your info and demonstrations. I enjoy watching and always learn something new.
thank you
Great video with lots of information. How will these do in a container?
June garden tour please
I agree with Aaron that the tree was messy! But your videos and you are beautiful as usual 😍😍
Can we get a bee 🐝 update😍. love u 😁
nice choice
I’m hoping to have a local nursery order a Blue Diamond Spruce for me. It’s an extremely slow-grower with a beautiful blue color that stays short and compact with no maintenance required.
Very nice!
Laura great video like always but any spruce for zone 9 (Riverside, California)?
I see you planted this close a building - any input for the root system’s effect on a foundation? How far does it reach, how deep, etc.? Thanks! I love your channel 🎄
have you, or would be willing to, made a video on how to care for aloe vera?
Any thoughts on removing the Silver Lace Vine on the root cellar roof and putting in something more interesting?
Could be fun planning and executing!😁
can u please, please, please do a June garden tour
Do you have a 5 yrs later video? I’d love to see what it looks like now.
Whats the favorite tree or planet for your bees?
Laura how close to the house can I plant this type of Evergreen.
What about the roots as it grows - will it damage the house?
You really trust those bees. Don't think I would've done anything in that area with all those bees zooming around.
Can you use this for pine needle tea?
I have a potted blue spruce outside that I started from a sappling. It is now 4 yrs old and has done wonderfully in the pot! I'm at a new home and ready to plant on our property. Is the fall season ok to do this? (I'm in KCMO area zone 5.)
I'm considering one of these. Question for you: I was taught to loosen the root ball to encourage root growth and keep it from being root bound. Why wouldn't you do that in this case? And why not add compost or soil pep to the native soil when you backfill? Thanks for the video!
It’s field grown so it can’t get root bound and balled and burlap trees are typically “healed in” soil so they just root out again until they’re sold to a customer
please help me
How do I clean the( huge blue spruce tree ) needles from the lawn,
I have tons of it .
I appreciate all suggestions of tools , tips etc.
Love the video. I planted a row of these along my back fence. One question I had. In winter to prevent branches from snapping with the weight of snow is it ok to use string to wrap them up a bit? Also I have some doe back at the bottoms of mine should I remove the branches that have no needles? Is that a sign of too dry conditions ?
John Contract How are your blue spruces doing? I planted one today on the corner of my house. I’m considering doing what you did along a fence. I’m in zone 6a.
Where can we get this? I'm in the same zone and most of the plants that are shown arn't available locally. I may be lucky and find it at a nursery where it's crazy expensive...
Does anybody know from experience if these do stay around the 4-5 foot mark? This would be absolutely perfect for a spot I'm thinking of if it does stay that size
At min. 4, she says to leave the burlap and not remove it. Just watched another video where she had one of her big evergreens toppled due to strong winds. She said that is not usual and when they looked at the roots that were revealed when the tree fell, they saw that the burlap and the rope around it had kept the roots from growing and spreading. Here is the link to that video. ua-cam.com/video/neROVB-cNTU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=GardenAnswer.
Is it okay to grow this tree close to house foundation?
OK, I'm hoping someone can answer this even tho this is an older video. I am in love with a baby columnar spruce at a nursery near me. It's not this variety; it's a Picea Pungens Fastigiata. Grows to about 15 feet tall by 5 feet wide. What I want, what I need, is one that is about 8 feet by about 2.5 feet wide. Would I be able to size control it to that, or would I be hurting the plant or making it just look...weird? Also, if I *can* do it, do I want to wait until it gets to the size I want and then keep it there by candling? Or do I want to keep it growing at a slower pace by candling as we go along? I would appreciate advice from people with experience on this so so much. Thank you.
Is there a smaller blue spruce I can grow in zone 8?
Hi Laura, is it possible to explain how you estimate how many plants you need for a space? I make notes what you used in a space, but how do I know how many I should get for the bed iam going to plant? Is there a thumb of rule to follow or do you just get a bunch and start planting?
Most tags will tell you the approximate size a plant will bet to at maturity. This can vary greatly, though, depending on conditions. But it's a guide. Then it's a question of how full you want your garden to look *before* things are mature. Now....a spruce tree, or any tree, you really don't want to be moving years after you plant it. So you have to plan pretty well with that. But you CAN move perennials you might have around it, and even some shrubs. So, there is flexibility. If you want a fuller look early on, go for it. You can always move or divide things later on. I'm definitely not Laura, but I hope this helps a little bit a year plus after you wrote your comment, ha!
I've asked this before but never got an answer. do you have to worry about acids with evergreens. I learned years ago it was bad for vegitable gardens so just wondering if they all are this or just some?
What gallon size is that?
Hey guys, I have an area in my yard that I'd like to redo but am having difficulty figuring out what to plant....any ideas where I can post the pic and get some suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Is this same as baby blue spruce tree ? Baby blue spruce eyes?
When I did a google search for suppliers of this Picea pungens ‘Iseli Fastigiate’-Monrovia came up but says its Slow growing; reaches 40 ft. tall, 10 ft. wide, with age. that is similar to info on other sites as well I would love this if it is 4' not 40'. So did I get the name wrong? or will it actually grow to 10'x40'
How could i go about ordering this tree? Is there a specific vendor? Thank you!
Can we geos blue sprud tree in puerto rico
The structure sticking up in the middle of the mound behind you looks a little like a cat totem. :-)
+Kris Perez That's exactly what it is! Haha! The cat head sits on the vent of the root cellar to keep birds and rodents out!
Kris Perez I, too, was thinking that.
Random thought-- it would be cute to paint those cinder blocks that the bee hive is on! A pop of color or something floral/gardeny and cute!
So thankful for your channel and the regular videos! I'm a newbie and you inspire me daily!! Thank you!!
For future videos can you give us zone 8 + people alternatives to what you're planting. IM obsessed with this tree when I saw it and then you mentioned it's only up to zone 7 😩
Yudy Davila I'm obsessed with it, too. So much that I think I will get it anyway and just make it work here in Northern Cal. Well, try to.
Yudy Davila I was excited until she said, not above zone 8. Argh! Texas doesn't get cold enough.
google is a great resource!
Is the burlap only on the roots so the tree can be transported? Or is it crucial that it stay with the tree? I had a couple fruit trees in my backyard (planted by previous owners) that had been dead for a while. I took them out recently and found they had the burlap and wire cage still wrapped around them. They had other issues, but I'm thinking the burlap and cage were a major reason they didn't last.
Hi, I am a very experienced gardener and can help. There is a debate about leaving or removing the burlap. The most current research suggests removing it. As you saw, the burlap does not always degrades, and I have seen roots girdled within it. The key is to NOT break the rootball. The day before planting, water the entire rootball very well. While the tree is next to the hole, I loosen the top of the burlap and slowly scrape away the soil until I find the tree flare (which can sometimes be buried 4-5 inches down). This establishes the planting depth. Dig the hole and carefully put the tree in, using the burlap to lift it. Then gently tip the tree and slide the burlap underneath. Tip the tree the other way, and pull the burlap out. Then backfill and water.
Hope this helps. Kevin.
Pliiiiiiiz make a water fountain or a fairy garden with a fountain 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
If it's a peat pot, couldn't you just leave it on and let the roots grow through?
Do these suffer from the same diseases that attack the larger Colorado Blue Spruces?
Yes I’ve even seen needle cast on the shrub globe variety
You left the root ball on? 😵😵😵
could've planted it 1-2 inches higher
Looks a bit windy :/
First!
You must spend your entire paycheck on your garden. I know I would.
gail bader Most likely she gets her product at a discounted price, because her folks have a nursery. Also, might get tax break because she uses her land in the videos, as part of hers and Aaron's business. 👍🏽👍🏽
Or free from proven winners...
What gallon size is that?
