    Love the Cedar Elm praise! I grew up in deep south Texas and these trees are TOUGH. No human care, extreme drought, temps of 105F and it doesn't phase them at all. And somehow it's cold hardy to zone 5! It definitely deserves respect and should be planted much more.

    There may be some who feel that this conversation is a bit more on the scientific side, but I must say I really appreciate learning about how trees are developed to withstand our changing weather and/or pest/disease pressure. It makes a lot of sense really - leveraging plants with the traits you need to develop more resilient ones…

    Kim is a wealth of information. The Cedar Elm goes to show us how adaptive some species can be in order to survive. Beautiful tree and yes, it looks like a Christmas tree.
    I love the button bush and had one when I lived in the Chicagoland area. However, as she mentioned they are not drought tolerant and do not survive in Texas zone 8A. Maybe one day I can get my hands on one of those experimental button bushes from the southwest.
    Thank you Jim. This was an excellent learning tour with you and Kim.

    Great show! Not sure this applies to buttonbush, but lots of swamp plants are also unusually drought tolerant because swamps can get so dry.

    • @JimPutnam
      @JimPutnam  Рік тому +2

      Oh yeah, lots of low country plants in eastern NC are incredibly drought tolerant. The riparian plants are typically ones along streams and permanent wet areas that just dip their toes in the water, but don't want to ever be in water.

    I bought a parrotia subaequalis from Nurseries Caroliniana after your tour video over there and having seen it on the video with Dirr earlier. The one in this video is the biggest I've seen a picture or video of. I has a really nice shape during summer for sure and of course the fall color is incredible. Hopefully it will do ok in these hot summers here in Dallas and my alkaline soil. I know they are growing it over at SFA University which is southeast of me so the heat shouldn't be a problem, but their soil is slightly acidic so I'll just have to wait and see how it does around here.

    I LOVE button bush, just being introduced to it byJim recently (and Jenny at Creekside Nursery). But will they work in areas that are not wet but have irrigation? Surprisingly, I have relatively well-draining soil in North GA (probably from decades of cultivation) and a lot of space for understory planting under 50-foot plus trees with lots of filtered light. Any chance these could work AND bloom for me?! 😄

    I wonder what the juvenility would be for a new rhododendron shrub? Specifically, the ‘Taurus’ cultivar? Also, very interesting about the human pollination of the parrotia tree!

    • @JimPutnam
      @JimPutnam  Рік тому +1

      A rhododendron from seed might have juvenility period, but likely yours is a clone of another plant and therefore bloomed the first season.
