Thank you! You've helped me feel better about looking at my plant and wishing I could do something to make it better. Now I understand that letting go sometimes is the healthiest option. Woohoo! I'm off to the garden now.
I have actually begun to take cuttings from the tree collards I got as seeds from you. I took leaf cuttings (well, rippings! LOL) and put them into water, and got awesome roots!) and am well on my way to a brand new set of plants!
@@projecttreecollard I will do that! I am encouraged. Of the 4 rooted leaf rippings (LOL) that I planted, only 1 has shown signs of withering! Not a bad start after 2 or 3 days.
@@MrThatguy333 USDA zone 8b, but a fair maritime influence, and the rains just started up a couple weeks ago, after a long dry summer. The tree collards just took off, and are producing tons of growth and BIG leaves.
@@andrewsackville-west1609 that's wonderful to hear, I'm PNW zone 8b with strong maritime influence as well. I'm going to have to get a 50 foot row of these bad boys and see how they do. Edit: I was worried it might be too cold/rainy here.
@@projecttreecollard how well to they hold up again water? Do they need well draining soil(sand?) Or will my heavy clay soil be fine? Should I put what I get into raised beds?
Such a good video!! This is something every grower will encounter eventually. It's great to get a visual on what it looks, but also as gardeners we tend to get attached to our perennials & it's just reassuring to hear not only is it OK to let go, but also things will be ok afterwards & you'll rebound starting new plants. I mean if you've grown them long enough you're taking cuttings & if you're like me they start multiplying all over the yard. My 1st one was Big Blue & although I have clones growing all over, I know when it comes time, I'll be sad to let go of my mother plant, but I'll certainly remember this video. Thank you!
My tree collars plants are over fourteen years old lately I have been having a lot disease issues such as black rot, and Alternaria leaf spot which keeps coming back. This video inform me that it's time to start over. Thank You
Thank you! I got my order today and have them planted in pots for now. I'm thinking i should let then grow larger before planting them in the ground because I'm afraid rabbits will tear them up !
Hello: I bought some tree collards from you a few months ago and they are doing very well. This is my first season with them. What temperatures can tree collards tolerate?
Sorry to be off topic but do you know of any successful attempts to cross any of the tree collards with brussel sprouts or broccolini. I think those would benefit from size and lifespan
Great videos, thanks! I have 2yr old tree collards and I’ve been fighting leaves turning yellow and light pink the whole time. Is this something you’ve seen?
Thank you! You've helped me feel better about looking at my plant and wishing I could do something to make it better. Now I understand that letting go sometimes is the healthiest option. Woohoo! I'm off to the garden now.
i'm so glad
Yay! I have my tree collard seedlings that I purchased from you growing right now!! I’m so excited, they are beautiful plants!!! 💚🌱
yay!
This video was extremely informatiive and helpful! Thank you!

let me know if you have success with rooted leaves turning into a plant. Mine didn't pan out

yes, for me they never formed branches@@busker153
Thank you for this great info!
My tree collards are headed into their second winter and are growing like mad. So productive!
wonderful to hear!
What's your grow zone?

Thanks for the info! I agree, older plants don't do as well, and often they won't make it thru the harsher weather.
🌱 Good to Know.. ThankYou 🍃
I just received my seeds. So excited !
Thanks for all the videos and tips.

yes...protect from rabbits for sure!
Hello:
I bought some tree collards from you a few months ago and they are doing very well.
This is my first season with them.
What temperatures can tree collards tolerate?
depends on the variety and whether you are asking about winter or summer temps. Summers get 115 here but I grow them in part shade
Sorry to be off topic but do you know of any successful attempts to cross any of the tree collards with brussel sprouts or broccolini. I think those would benefit from size and lifespan
no
Great videos, thanks! I have 2yr old tree collards and I’ve been fighting leaves turning yellow and light pink the whole time. Is this something you’ve seen?
old leaves always turn colors before they fall off. This is what is completely normal. Old leaves have to fall off if not eaten!
Is tree collard the same thing as walking stick kale?
no
@@projecttreecollard Thank you!
Is there a way to get small tree collar plants shipped to Bakersfield? Or get some that already have roots?
yes...that's what I do. www.projecttreecollard.org
Thanks!
you're welcome:)
I was picking mine at first until you said to cut them so I should just let it grow bigger then cut cause mine it not a big tree but my leaves are
I missed the bit about cutting instead of picking. Can you elaborate?
