Wow lots of new ones i have never heard about .... thank you so much 😊.... screen plants makes for better neighbors! We had to cut down our white pine trees and i just about had a stroke looking at our neighbors yard and house .... we spent $1,500 building a berm and planting shrubs on top.
Great series. I started a privacy hedge about a year ago and have roughly 30 plants right now. It's a mix of Nellie Stevens, Caroline Sapphire, Green Giants, Blue Point Junipers, Emerald Green Arborvitaes, Blue Steel Arizona Cypress and a few others mixed in. It's been a really fun project and already looks nice with the different greens and blues. In 10+ years it should look amazing. This channel has been a huge help in the project and has made landscaping a much bigger hobby of mine.
I just totally binge-watched all of your screening plant videos. These were extremely helpful!! Thank you, Jim. Still looking for screening plants that tolerate wet feet!
Absolutely loved series 12 and three of these shrub videos. It is exactly what I was looking for and needed when choosing in my new backyard garden. I have been here one year and I put a lot of thought into what I want to certain places as far as height and width now I can use your video to guide me on my journey. Thank you again so very much.
Hello, thanks for giving us some plants for the shade! Just what I needed. I live on a corner lot and I've got neighbors that are practically at my back door 😒
Hello Jim, this video series of 3 was quite good, but now I’m even more overwhelmed with choices. A bit about a landscape goal, my backyard opens to a vast undeveloped area (it’s wonderful ) except for strong winds. I’m looking for screening plants as a windbreaker that would huge the corners of my lot. What would you recommend? It would be wonderful for a grand prize drawing for Wake/Durham/Orange counties have you visit someone’s garden (mine’) and draw up a landscape design and plant recommendations. Now that’s a GRAND PRIZE.
Thanks for this series. By the way, I planted a couple of Olive Martini Elaeagnus and the deer have started eating on them this fall. I don't know if this variety is less deer resistant than Pungens or not. I'm always trying to outsmart the deer but it is a losing battle. By far the best shrubs for shady conditions and deer resistance have been the Illicium! Love them!
Thank you! I love your tip about using different plants. Like many others, I live in the city and have a very narrow space to create a privacy fence. Please make another video about planting in narrow spaces- I think it will be a very helpful and successful video. I’m in zone 6B. Main problem is my backyard only gets 2-3 hours of sun. Which plants would you combine for both privacy and year round interest? Please help! The space is only about 10ft wide and I need to create a narrow privacy fence so I can have some space to entertain family and friends :)
Really love all your videos,very informative.Im going off topic here but I was wondering if you could do a video on how you make your dry rock retaining walls or garden edging walls ,just love them. Thanks in advance.
Jim, thanks for this great series! For an older person with less time (ahem) and who would like a fast screen other than a privacy fence, could you please suggest 3-4 of the fastest growers from time of planting for zone 7? Thanks!
you probably dont care at all but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Thatcher Keaton Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I excluded it on purpose on talked about it when I covered green giant. They are having issues from our over planting of them. I do agree though that when they are great they are really great.
Great vids, Jim❣️❣️ I have a couple of Sunshines (ligustrum)and just love them🥰🥰 I planted 5 Murray cypress 5 years ago, and really love them. Super fast growers, already over 12’ tall/3’ wide. I never hear anyone speak on them. Do you have an opinion? Thanx❣️
I have a large Nellie Stevens that the Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers heavily damaged before I realized what was happening. Any suggestions on the best way to keep woodpeckers from damaging trees and large shrubs? I'm trying the bird scare tape ... we'll see how that works.
Thanks so much for all of the info! I came across a Golden Leyland Cypress. It didn’t say Ryder on the tag so I’m not sure if that is a different variety. But do these types of cypress have the same issues as the older Leyland variety? I’m in 7b.
Thanks for the great information on screening plants, Jim. We have quite a few of them in our landscape. I have a question on one that I don't think you mentioned, Emily Brunner. We have 3 large Emily Brunner hollies and one of them has started turning light green and losing leaves on one side of the plant this year. The other side is healthy and dark green. We fertilized with Holly Tone but are wondering if we cut it back in late winter it could rebound. We would hate to lose one of the three. Thanks, Jeannie
Is it two separate plants that were in the same container or just a branch from one. Either way it is likely some root damage that occurred. It will likely fill back in over time. It may require some pruning though
@@JimPutnam We planted 3 separate plants about 12 years ago. Only one has the issue with half of it losing leaves and turning a very light green. Would it be better to cut those branches back or cut back the entire plant? It's about 12-15 feet high.
I live in the south with clay soil also. I want to know if you could tell me what I could plant for privacy screen? My problem is the fact I have a natural spring in back and side of my land. Some of the area is not that bad but some is very wet and stays that way all year. My neighbors on my side are have the same problem with the spring on there side. They don’t care to do anything about it. There no slope for me to drain the water somewhere else. I have been looking all over for some kind of tree or shrub that will work. I find one, then I look on another site and they say no you can’t plant that tree or shrub in poor drainage soil. Please help!!!!

Wow. Good work. Thanks for watching and participating.
I just totally binge-watched all of your screening plant videos. These were extremely helpful!! Thank you, Jim. Still looking for screening plants that tolerate wet feet!
Thanks for more choices. Now I'm ready for you to talk about good plants for undergrowth around these as they grow.

Learn something new in almost every video...thank you.
Thank you so much Jim. I have 75 25 yr old Leylands coming down and this is exactly what I needed. You are the best!!!
I like ur choices in this video. Maybe talk about width and shedding flowers or leaves that could upset nieghbor if gets in thier yard
Good series. Lots of excellent info. Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching

I met master gardener who told me evergreens are always growing so it's ok to fertilize when you plant.
Depends on the plant as to whether poorly timed fertilizer could harm it, so not a completely accurate statement.
Thank you. Your channel helped me build my front yard garden this year and my back of the yard screen is next years project.
Glad to help. Thanks for watching
Outstanding information, as always! Thank you, Sir‼️🙌🏼

Love the screening plant videos. Could you suggest screening plants for zone 5.
Enjoyed watching the series, between wind, heat and drought I have a hard time finding great plants.
you probably dont care at all but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Chance Kellen instablaster :)
@Thatcher Keaton Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.

@Thatcher Keaton it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Chance Kellen you are welcome :)
As always you have so much great information and thank you for all that you do for us.
Thanks Roy. Have a great weekend
Great little series, but you forgot Leylandii. It’s one of the best for a perfect tall hedge.
I excluded it on purpose on talked about it when I covered green giant. They are having issues from our over planting of them. I do agree though that when they are great they are really great.
Thats generally how most trees and shrubs are the first 2 years they dont do a whole lot then the 3 & 4 year is when they just explode with growth
Thanks Jim only 1 for my area zone 4.
I need to visit some northern nurseries as well
HortTube with Jim Putnam just moved to Colorado looking for a screening plant. Wanted a holly but haven’t found anything yet. Thank you!
Hey there. You’ve never answered a question from me but I’m going to try anyway! Do you have much opinion or experience with frost proof gardenia?
Great vids, Jim❣️❣️ I have a couple of Sunshines (ligustrum)and just love them🥰🥰 I planted 5 Murray cypress 5 years ago, and really love them. Super fast growers, already over 12’ tall/3’ wide. I never hear anyone speak on them. Do you have an opinion? Thanx❣️
Jim thanks for the great videos! Can giant green arborviates be planted in the summer? I live in Massachusetts.
I heard that Eleagnus is now listed as an invasive species.
I have a large Nellie Stevens that the Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers heavily damaged before I realized what was happening. Any suggestions on the best way to keep woodpeckers from damaging trees and large shrubs? I'm trying the bird scare tape ... we'll see how that works.
Why is Nellie Stevens so hard to prune? Is it because it gets too tall so quickly? If I had a 16' orchard ladder, would the problem be solved?
Didn’t see wax myrtle on the list. Any reason?
Thanks so much for all of the info! I came across a Golden Leyland Cypress. It didn’t say Ryder on the tag so I’m not sure if that is a different variety. But do these types of cypress have the same issues as the older Leyland variety? I’m in 7b.
What do you think about the Japanese blueberry?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@@ProPlugger It will probably need both, but wait until late winter. Remove the dead and take a little off the top to encourage lower growth
@@JimPutnam Ok great, we'll do that. Thanks so much for the help! Jeannie
How far from a foundation does an Olive Martini Elaeagnus need to be planted? I read to keep it away from foundations, but it didn't say how far...
I live in the south with clay soil also. I want to know if you could tell me what I could plant for privacy screen?

any for Zone 6?
Hello you forgot to mention full sun or part sun on some plants
Most everything in that list except the camellias will take full sun. The illicium will take either.
No mention of Japanese Cedar?
I have covered Cryptomeria several times on my channel. They just didn't have them at that nursery.
