Excellent and enjoyable video! I'm amazed at how gorgeous the PawPaw's were. I've got 4 of them which are about 5 years old and only about a third the size of these. I'd love it if mine wind up looking like yours.
This is AWESOME information ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I'm in zone 6. I usually have to watch 4 or 5 videos before I can get to all the information I need but yours was covered in 1 video so great very thorough I took notes😊😊😊😊😊
Can you do a video on how they look in the fall going into winter. I'm assuming you would probably loose a lot of the privacy when the leaves fall off.
All of those plants excluding the fig and crape myrtle are perfectly cold hardy in USDA zone 5a. You must be in at least USDA zone 6B to be able to grow crape myrtles that big!
Wow! You’ve a such a mix of unique plants, all thoughtfully and strategically placed!! I can tell you’ve a very good knowledge of plants in general although you’ve a lot of unusual plants to me, zone 8b. I wish I can have some of your plants down here!! I’d die to have that gorgeous perfect blue spruce you have! Very good and in depth information for homeowners to think before planting!! Thank you for sharing!! 👏😃👍
When is the best time of year to buy it? I dont like when the trees have too much of a man made shape look to them but also don't like when they overgrow. How do you take care of the shaping?
Great video very informative. I am taking a landscaping design class right now, so definitely gave me some good ideas. I was excited to see the paw paw as I haven’t seen one in real life but I’m optimistic to try the fruit one day!
Looks great! Witch Hazels are also very common in my area, but here in zone 8a, they actually do bloom in January. But being in a higher zone does have its downsides: some perennials do not grow well beacuse it is too mild (not warm) in winter and they send out new growth waaay to early which then gets destroyed by late freezes which in my area can occur as late as mid-april. For example, most Cypripedium orchids are just refusing to bloom, Paeonias lose their buds in early april all the time, apple blooms freeze to death every third year, and so on. On the other end, most suptropical trees and plants do not survive. It is kind of blank spot were continental plants struggle, oceanic plants do only okay-ish and subtropical plants die.
@@MyGreenPets I have been looking for regional outdoor nurseries lately because they should have a foolproof selection for my climate. For example I heard of one Paeonia variety which was bred here and does not send out new growth until march and blooms in late may when frost risk is over but wasn't able to find it yet. But I have noticed that in the last fifteen years, winters have become milder and late freezes occur less frequent, so I might be getting more into subtropical plants like Trachycarpus palms. Maybe Pawpaw would work as well? I heard the fruit are truly delicious. When I was young, our climate was much more under continental influence as it is now and part of the problem is that landscapers do not adapt to this and are still planting plants that have the issue with early bud break and late freezes in milder winters.
@@loho1125 The Wikipedia article on pawpaw shows a map with its range, so maybe have a look and see. They do get large, as you can see in the video, and they sucker as well, forming a patch over time.
I LOVE sumacs. We have 2 native sumacs in socal: a sweet sumac (Rhus ovata) and lemonade berry (Rhus integrifolia), and they're all-stars in the landscape, they stay green throughout our hot dry summers.
How do you get ripe figs, if you always cut it to the ground in zone 6 then the figs don't get enough time to ripen. This has been my experience. I am in zone 6 and my figs don't have enough time to ripen if the whole tree has to start growing fresh up through the ground each yr. I have to protect with straw bails each yr,so they don't have to grow from ground up. Do you know something I don't, please share cause I still struggle with this .
i never collected figs off this plant because it is not my house. However, because it was such as aggressive and invasive grower, I dug it up last year and planted a sweetbay magnolia in its place.
Which state do you live in? I’m in zone 6, but my myrtle trees never get that tall as yours. They all die in winter and grow back from the ground next year
If you buy a grafted variety and then let the rootbase sucker, (which quite a few of them do) and of course let the suckers grow, you will ultimately wind up with 2 varieties of paw paw.
"PawPaw...they have these neat kind of tropical looking leaves" Because they are related to Soursop and Cherimoya, they are the only temperate member of Annonaceae.
You have a lot of fun! Thanks.
Thank you so much for reviewing all my favorite plants in zone 6, I'll definitely add some to my yard from your selection that I already have in mind.
No problem, please check out the update to this video, published this summer! There is a link in the description.

they have a nice pyramidal shape, tropical looking leaves, and that great fruit! i love them!
Loved your garden tour! Thank you for sharing!!

I live in zone 6 thank you for all the advice on Plants some I have never seen before

This is also my experience with those two. Never get taller than 4 feet since all of the branches die in the winter
Thanks for sharing. Gorgeous plants!
Thank you!
Kentucky? Love that oak leaf hydrangea. Wow! I like the corkscrew witch hazel. Beautiful landscaping, you are obviously very talented.
Yes! These plants made me happy as I planted and watched them grow, and I'm glad they've continued to thrive.

Thank you, I hope it was helpful!
Really illustrative informative in-depth analysis thank you
Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed.
Paw paw trees? Are they self pollinating? How many trees do you have? They look amazing and delicious fruit is a bonus.
This is great! Thank youU! :)
Even with a name list! 😍
No problem Karl! Glad you enjoyed!
That was really nice!! Thank you William 😊😍👍 Beautiful
yay!
Thank you-very informative!

That's awesome best of luck with your class, that sounds super interesting!

What are some of the native plants in your area? Maybe they are better adapted to the transitional weather of your zone?

Your landscaping is amazing. How tall was the tupelo tree when you first planted it?
It was pretty tall, easily over 10 feet.
I LOVE sumacs. We have 2 native sumacs in socal: a sweet sumac (Rhus ovata) and lemonade berry (Rhus integrifolia), and they're all-stars in the landscape, they stay green throughout our hot dry summers.
aren't they beautiful! 💚
I am zone 6! Thanks for ideas!!
No problem!! Love these plants!
The sumac is such a wonderful color in that garden. Can you imagine a cattleya in that color?
I love that cutleaf sumac. A Cattleya with those neon green leaves would be awesome!
I don't like those wispy wild plans like the ones at 9:10 and 14:38. They look messy
Any videos specifically on your crepe myrtles? Or any videos that go over them in your zone? Thanks
Sorry, just this one for now. I'll do another one in a few weeks but they probably will just be leafing out.

This video is in western Kentucky
I want to grow paw paw but I heard you need two trees that are not related so where did you get each tree?
I got them at a botanical garden plant sale in Louisville, KY. There are a few pawpaw breeders out there if you do some searching.
If you buy a grafted variety and then let the rootbase sucker, (which quite a few of them do) and of course let the suckers grow, you will ultimately wind up with 2 varieties of paw paw.
"PawPaw...they have these neat kind of tropical looking leaves"
Because they are related to Soursop and Cherimoya, they are the only temperate member of Annonaceae.
Yes super cool trees!
The RHS here in the UK say it’s less aggressive than the original staghorn for producing new suckers.
It may be, but it will still put out a lot of them. Especially if you cut it back.
is this Colorado? or is this your house that you moved from?
This is in Kentucky!
@@MyGreenPets Yeah! I thought it looked familiar, nice video
Hi 👋 👍👍👍🔔🔔🔔❤️
Pawpaw trees can become very invasive
...if the area around them is neglected.
The Tigers Eye is beautiful but omg, those suckers are annoying.
yeah, luckily they're easy to control.
Paw paw trees? Are they self pollinating? How many trees do you have? They look amazing and delicious fruit is a bonus.
You need two trees to pollinate each other, I have two.
