I would love to see an aerial view of their property in Autumn; the fall colour must be glorious!
I’m pretty sure Aaron is giving us a drone view every fall now that they’ve got so many maple trees. Stay tuned!
Please drone in fall!
Me too!! 🍂
I am glad you mentioned your Willows. They can be messy, but nothing adds grace and nobility like a well-maintained Willow & yours are awesome.
You guys have really taught me to appreciate trees. So many beautiful ones.
I agree, while ive always loved plants, they have gotten me into looking and really looking at all the trees I go by now too. They have done it again... lol
LOLing about the "not a big deal" Locust tree! It doesn't actually matter that "its a short window" they are EVERYWHERE. All over the mulch and the plants making everything look half brown and dead. I find it hilarious that Laura, Mrs I-like-things-tidy, is making the case for this "mess free" tree. 😂😂
To be fair, ours was planted in the 70s and is full size, 60 x 30 ish. Its a LOT.
Oh I so agree! It’s a pretty ‘dirty’ tree LOL. Maybe it’s okay in wide open areas where you can blow it away. In a neighborhood it’s everywhere (and in your house) and does cover everything with a dead look
I love mine & like Laura, find it not that messy. Love the look of it & the disappearing leaves. River birch was messy & constantly dropping something.
I too am very surprised Laura is so fond of the Locust Tree. It is a messy tree!! I cannot plant flowers in the front yard until the mess of the Locust tree is finished. And what falls from the tree is all over my Hostas, azaleas, hydrangeas, roses, day lilies, daffodils, etc. It weighs the leaves down especially when it rains. Oh just such a messy tree! I wonder what are my neighbors thinking when I am using the leaf blower in my gardens in the spring. The only reason this tree is still in my front yard is because it shades the front of the house. Not to mention it will cost $2800.00 to have it removed.
You both should be so proud-every website that you mention in your conversations seem to have everyone trying to get online at the same time!!! I can’t count the websites that have blown up when mentioned!!!
Love your videos… I too start flower beds anywhere I can! And my hands -PROUDLY- look like yours!!! 😂
You both are very inspiring. Thank you!!
I noticed this too. Can’t get onto the JF Schmidt website!
@@nancyw5779 Yep!!! They just BLOW THINGS UP!! They’re awesome for us that watch and those companies they trust.
I would go and buy so many of the garden centre flower trees bushes as you have so much room to fill up yet I couldn’t cope with all the empty spaces x
Linden flowers are a wonderful calming tea, add honey and milk if you wish. If you don't want milk you can put some lemon. I drink it many times with nothing added. Also you can use the leaves instead of grape leaves to make a summer tip of cabbage rolls you just use those leaves instead of cabbage. The younger more tender ones. Back in Romania where I lived we had linden trees the whole alley and benches underneath it was amazing to sit under linden trees
Linden blooms are used for tea and are medicinal.
Loved this video! Thank you for inserting so many pictures while describing them.
My husband and I have been trying to decide on a tree for our front corner so PERFECT timing on this video!
Laura, you need to look up a Tulip tree. The leaves are shaped like tulips and it has large yellow flowers similar to magnolias. Stunning. We had one in Ontario, Canada.
They get massive if they’re in a place they like. I believe they are long lived as well.
They are great trees! A bit messy but just beautiful. I believe they are tulip poplars but I could be wrong. I have a row of them bordering my property that I see through my kitchen sink window and they create a beautiful view.
I've been wishing for a long time for Laura to plant a Tulip Poplar! Fast growing, tall, and so beautiful, with that fresh green in the Spring. I love to hear the leaves flutter in the wind. I've seen that other people say the tree is messy--but I've never experienced that. Maybe it depends on where they are grown. (??)
@BCole-jc2vp my husband and I just cut down 62 dead and dying 100+ foot tulip poplars on our property 😂 they're too short lived, in my opinion. They're past their prime at 30 years old and it's all downhill after that. The ones we removed were original to the property when the house was built in '66.
Tulip poplars are pretty as long as you don’t get a late freeze. If they’ve already bloomed and then a freeze happens those blooms will turn black. The tree looks horrible for days until the dead blooms drop. It’s why I don’t have one.
Here in SE coastal NC I have lots of pine trees that offer high shade, beautiful pinestraw for mulching, and pinecones for crafts and decorating.
I lived in GA for a bit. Those tall (yellow?) pines were beautiful. High, dappled shade underneath and made their own mulch.
I'm in Georgia, zone 8. I LOVE pine trees. Grew up with mature ones in my childhood home's yard. Now, I'll be building a new/forever home on family land in the near future. The spot I chose has planted pines. They're still very young, but I'm planning on taking out a good many...still will keep some to provide beauty and some shade to my front yard. And, they'll get to grow like they should...not just grow from the top. That's what happens when you plant them too close together, unfortunately.
I'm so excited. Will have pecan trees in back.
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️ Fantastic list of trees 🌳 🌲 I’m running out of real estate 🤣🤣Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I have such great memories of a Honey Locust tree when we lived in Missouri. It was located in the woods behind our house and every Spring when the temperature was just right and we had our windows open you could smell the Honey Locust blooms wafting with the breeze through our house. The scent is so amazing! Another plus with that tree!
Believe it or not, I've lived in same house for over 20 yrs and this year was the first time I noticed the scent of our honey locust tree.
Have you seen the newer Blackgum (Tupelo) cultivar? The Wildfire variety comes out fire truck red in the spring, turns deep green in the summer, and back to fire truck red in the fall. Such a stunner and stays on the medium size.
In my neighbourhood here in Germany which is a protected area, our houses as well as specific trees are under conservation. We have 2 silver lindens on our property and indeed they do look like they need a bit of water. However, they're 90 years old by now and they're looking gorgeous. Their flowers attract a ton of pollinators and the entire tree is just making a buzzing sound. It does have a ton of leaves and you need serious clean up in the fall but it drops within a span of 2 weeks and it's done.
I agree that the honey locust is messy. Our neighbor has one between our houses. The blooms stick on the car if it’s in the driveway. The little leaves blow into the garage all fall. They’re pretty, but it’s annoying! Plant them away from entrances.
The Royal Raindrops crabapple is also one of the most beautiful. We planted one a year ago, because of your recommendation, and was stunning this spring. 😍
I want one of these too! I’m trying to figure out whether I could plant one this fall, say September if I could still find one, or if it’s best to wait until spring. Kansas, zone 6.
@@alisab3041Fall is always the best time to plant trees.
Haah! Mystery solved! I’ve been walking by these trees by an elementary school here in Salem for years and have been wondering what they were. They have a beautiful scent and when Aaron said dryer sheets, I was like, THATS IT! They are Weeping Silver Linden tress! Thank you for helping me figure that out! 😊 The bees love it, even pollinating the blooms on the ground!
There is such a difference between small young trees and older trees when you are talking about birches or lindens especially. River birches get big but they are weak trees, constantly dropping branches. Each spring, yards on my street are not mowable until someone spends a long time, picking up branch after branch.
Lindens are THE messiest tree ever invented. Starting in the spring, the flowers draw aphids which drop sticky stuff on anything below,. When used as street trees the falling sticky honeydew coats cars and their windshields. After flowering they drop stuff, they also have an extra false leaf that is attached to their seed pods. When these fall an entire street can become covered and then dangerously slick after a rain. The seed capsules also fall, as do leaves. Living under old mature lindens was awful. There was never a season when these trees aren't dropping something. Walks and driveways needed to be swept, gutters required constant attention. They seem prone to hollow middles when old, which makes giant trees fall in storms.
Locust trees are another I will never plant. They send up new trees on their roots. When planted in a lawn, not only will there be weedy looking new trees coming up, and they seem prone to suddenly having parts die and do not seem long lived. Cut one down and those roots in garden beds and the lawn will continue to send up new trees for several years.
Trees seen and admired in big park settings often turn out to not play nicely with houses, walks, streets, driveways etc.
Absolutely agree regarding Linden trees! They are extremely messy, the gooey substance sticks to my car and windows, the seeds are awful, im always picking up small twigs after a windy day. Beautiful looking trees, but i would"nt get another, i"ll just admire someone elses lol
We had an old kitchen garden of Victorian planted fruit trees. One of the apples must’ve been closely related to a persistent crab apple. It was called the Christmas Apple tree (so a specialist apple tree arborist told us). It held onto its sweet crunchy apples until around Christmas, sometimes later. There were other apples that stored well but this one was cultivated to be, I guess, “persistent” to save on storage space.
Very helpful video.I'm a retired librarian and there were several Honeylocusts outside our university library. they were beautiful I will say that many of their golden leaves made their way into the lobby area. I loved the look, made it look like a woodland entrance with their golden leaves Admit they did keep our housekeepers busy though.
Good morning!! We love in Shepherdsville Kentucky and we have alot of maple trees. Our home owners insurance charges us more if we have maples in your yard. They travel top roots and always come down in storms when they get muture. With your winds are yall worried any. It's devastating as you know to see them down on things. I especially love the videos with you and Aaron bantering! Lol
Like
I have an autumn blaze maple in my back yard, and I highly recommend them to everyone!
I agree with Aaron, Honeylocust trees are messy, or at least my previous house must've been where all the leaves and blooms would go when everyone would just blow them away 🤣. Plus, the old ones with the seed pods attract squirrels. Personally, I would rather have a Catalpa with the huge leaves and the aromatic blooms. But to each their own.
Catalpas produce long black seed pods, too. And huge leaves. They can get Chlorosis in high PH soils. And they need to be for enough always from foundations and underground pipes to avoid roots being invasive.
Agreed. Locust trees suck here. Messy, seed themselves around and grow like weeds.
@@laraemitchell9064 Yes, if I'm going to choose a messy tree I'd pick the Catalpa over a Honeylocust.
Ha! Ha! Love Aaron's reaction to the weeping Linden. I love most of these trees, but I have to agree on this one. Looks like Jabba the Hut in that picture!🤣
Hi Laura and Aaron! Thank you so much for sharing!
My favorite Maple is an October glory
I was really surprised on your trip to the garden center that you brought up purple robed locust. I was hoping they had fixed the issue with suckers and the trees instability. I fell in love with this tree 20 some years ago but whenever we had winds those trees went down. I could live with the suckers, but my husband was done replacing them constantly. We have alot of wind in Iowa. I miss this purple grape like flowers ANF the beautiful scent.
I love plant profiles. Wonderful and helpful. Thank you.❤❤❤
I love your videos. I learn so much from them. I'm also entertained by the plants we disagree about liking. I had a locust tree and hated it. My neighbor hated it. I live in a suburban/urban area and those leaves were a pain. I took it down and replaced it with a "recued" beech tree. That locust tree keeps popping up all over my "lawn" (I don't have a lawn I have a hosta yard). I love seeing the trees you plant and how they grow. Thanks so much for your channel.
I planted a honey locust many years ago. It sat at least five years neither living nor dying. I seriously considered taking it out. It did eventually start growing and is quite large now. It does not hold up well to tropical storms and hurricanes. I am in zone 8a, coastal NC, so hurricanes are an occasional occurrence. The branches break and tangle together. It does however produce nice shade.
Morning Everyone 🍃🌸🍃
Good morning!!
“Non-messy.” 😂 I’m laughing as I think of my office building’s lobby floor that’s absolutely carpeted in honey locust leaves all autumn. They make their way into the elevators and every floor of the building, as well.
Our locust tree planted by city in front of our house is very messy. I'm still cleaning up leaves that blow over the house onto my backyard patio.😢
We have a male and female Buckeye tree and they're gorgeous 🥰.
I think this is in the family of one of my favorite varieties. Horse chestnuts. I absolutely love them!
Don’t they produce a lot of buckeye seeds with the female?
I am SO HAPPY you made this video. I am looking to plant a tree in my garden and this is very helpful! THANK YOU from Liz in California zone 9b 🤩🤩🤩
Have you ever considered adding in a European weeping beech tree somewhere on your property? When they get big they are such a magical tree 😍💚
Don't forget Dogwood. Trees are everything to me as I've gotten older. I mourn the loss of my Sugar Maple.
We are planting Bigtooth Maples 🍁. They don't seem to struggle with our high pH and are drought resistant when established.
I have had Sunburst in my former garden and want in my new. Just because of the colour! It has that lime colour that can be perfect in a shady dark part of your garden! 😊
Same here. I agree that the light lime color is stunning. I had one next to a tall window and enjoyed feeling like I was living in a tree house ❤
@@santropixie5140 that sounds wonderful!
I absolutely adore mine too! It is so vibrant in color and is quite graceful. I also have the shade master variety but I think the sunburst is my favorite.
I love this tree tutorial! It’s so interesting to learn about a few “best performers.” Great idea to do this. Now I hope you guys will make this a regular feature from time to time, since there’s a never ending list of trees to learn about. 👍💚💚💚
Listening to you talking about the Honey Locust I suddenly realised that I think we have one in our UK garden. I think ours is Gleditsia 🤪. In Spring it’s bright green and then it turns to a dark burgundy brown/black. I didn’t realise they grew in the UK. Thanks for solving a mystery.
You guys are on a roll with the trees lol! Winter interest is so important as well as shade areas too 👍👏😊nice trees!!
Wheeping Beech with leaves that are red all summer long....gorgeous! Lindens attract Japanese Beetles...I'm considering removing them, as the Japanese Beetles affect my entire gardens, flowers and vegetable and flowers in containers. Some of the Maples you mention have very aggressive growth, which makes them weak and limbs break in our Minnesota winds, and they need internal trimming regularly every few years because they grow too dense (cost to have trimmed)....the positives are fall color and the branches grow more upright than out.
Just like to mention River Birch, all I know is their pealing bark is to die for😊
Thank you Laura and Aaron. The way you explained these trees taught me a lot. Please keep teaching us…your passion is helping the world have prettier and healthier personal gardens. ❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad to learn about different trees !!! 🌳 I appreciate watching your channel!! 😊
Highly recommend Cinnamon Curls birch - smaller so suitable for smaller and midsized spaces --- highly resistant to borers ---Stewartia and yellowwood are at the top of our list here in Zone 6 New England
This was an excellent and informative overview! The only thing I would add is that Lindens are a favorite snack for Japanese Beetles if you have them in your area.
Locust trees grow like weeds here in central Mo. some are called thorny locust and have four inch thorns that have poison tips , if you step in them it hurts for days 😨. We are constantly mowing them down or spraying them out of fence lines .Also may I suggest River birch they are resistant to the borer, we planted one five years ago a clump of three it fit on the back of our pickup bed to bring home , now it’s at least twenty feet high and 6-8 feet wide . It’s so beautiful, the bark is a cinnamon brown that peels like a white birch .
I also was so excited to watch your pond go together. To see everyone work together was really something.
I had a pond for many years and loved it, nothing like yours of course. My kids loved it. Later when we had grandchildren come along we went to a pond less waterfall and stream. We recently moved and had to leave it all behind but I’m already planning a new one. I miss having one.
You are so fortunate to have all that help….such a beautiful area for your whole family to enjoy.
Thank you for the great info on this selection of trees. Whenever you talk about Honey Locusts I think about the one that Aaron mended when you discovered the big spit in yours. Drilling large holes in the trunk and bringing the tree back together can be a little disconcerting! In about 1982 my parents had the Honey Locust in our back yard in Pueblo, CO (5b) and mended in the same way. We live in the Seattle area now so I checked out the latest GoogleEarth photos of our old house and the tree is still there and looking great. I hope you enjoy this beautiful tree for many more years.
Oaks are the quintessential American trees. Very important for the ecosystem.
We have a honey locust on our patio and it is very messy in the spring when dropping their blooms. Patio furniture does not go out until they are done.
A great video as usual! Would you consider doing a version of this with all your crabapples?
I love trees in my yard!
Lindens smell amazing! 🤤
Love Cedar trees , the ones that aren’t symmetrical.
G' morning! 🌞 I have a well established linden in the front but we lost our 100+yr old oak in the back from a storm. I turned that space into my vegetable garden, so I won't replant any trees. I do thank you for the info regarding trees as it has given me insight should I ever need to buy one in the future.
All about trees, loved this video! Have you hugged a tree today? I have 😊 speaking of trees, may I ask how the ones are doing at the friends' property that you planted up last year, I think? A new property with a beautiful white home. Just before graduation party... if that helps to pinpoint which property I am referring to 😊 thank you ❤
Very helpful. My local nursery warned me against birches due to the borers. I grew up in a northern area where we had beautiful paper birch woods. Good to know there is something to be done about the borers! River birches (betula nigra) do fine in our area (Lower Hudson Valley), so it pays to do some research. You may want to note about red maples that they have a shallow aggressive root system, which needs to be taken into account when siting them. They are common in the wild here and gorgeous in the fall.
Klondike Amur cherry hits top of my list for favourite tree. The Bronze/gold peeling bark (like a birch tree) is fantastic for winter interest. Strong central leader with a pyramidal shape and fast grower in my zone 3 yard. Lovely yellow leaf fall colour. Can’t recommend it enough❤
Great tree education! Can you do similar with focus on small varieties for small gardens. I am fortunate to have worked at one point in the nursery business in western Oregon but for many people trees can be overwhelming and a huge importance in a city or suburban garden to select the right one. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! You are a constant inspiration for me!
I love tree's, we have quiet a few maples, redbuds a couple dogwoods, old walnut trees not my favorite, we didnt plant them, they seeded their self back. The church next to our property has two big walnut trees, thats where they came from. Sassafra, a weeping elm tree really interesting. I would love to have a crabapple tree. Laura you and Aaron has such a beautiful, beautiful place. Benjamin and Samantha Grace are enjoying outside so very much.
I have two sunbursts and two shademasters and I love them all. I really love the golden leaves of the sunburst. They make me feel happy. I personally wouldn’t plant a plane tree because the leaves don’t break down, and they make such a mess!
I wish i had more room for these different trees.
I'd love a faster growing shade tree for my front lawn.
I'm zone 6(CT). Lots of sun. Don't even need it to get really tall. Those crabapples are pretty.
@@tammykuhar4420 The crabapples are gorgeous for sure. I love the flowering Manchurian Pears too - check them out. They have a lovely shape, gorgeous white blossoms in spring with lush shiny green leaves in summer, and then they colour up so gorgeous in the Fall. One of my very favourite trees.
Love this guide! Can you do your top 5 fruit trees & maintenance on those?! Love you guys!!
Hi Laura 🌺. These trees are amazing and I love how the leaves change their color and this adds beauty to the garden . Have awonderful day .🦋🌺🦋
I’d love to hear your list of top understory trees. My lot has the big structure already. Thanks!
This video makes me want to plant trees but I have no more room on my property! I love my Kousa dogwood tree because it has great 4 seasons interest. The bark has an interesting texture and peels just a tad which is pretty in the winter. It has white flowers in the spring, and it gets bright reddish pink, bumpy, cherry- like fruit in the late summer and fall. The leaves are a pretty shape and color, and the growth habit is rounded and symmetrical. I think it gets about 15 feet tall. I enjoy mine by our patio but the fruits can be messy when they fall. I’d love to hear recommendations for trees that are beautiful and that provide shade for entrances and patios that do not fill gutters with leaves or that leave messes on sidewalks and patios.
You guys should check out Princeton Gold maple. Stunning lime color in summer
Don't forget the tiny stems that the leaves sprout from on a honey suckle also drop in the fall and cause a netted mess clogging the gutters!
We have 3 Heritage River Birch trees aka at our house as the “Giving Trees”. I love our birch trees when they are NOT giving me something. They give me leaves , seeds, and twigs , twigs and more twigs . I thought at first I was doing something wrong because no tree should drop twigs every time the wind blows . Despite this I do love them but next time I will not plant them close to the house
Yes!!! Always picking up sticks. Arborist told me they are classified a "self pruner" Messy after a wind, but a beautiful tree. We have a 3 clump
The flowers of linden tree also makes a delicious tea. It has relaxing properties and helps manage cold and flu symptoms. In Latvia, where I’m from, it is a symbol of femininity and oftentimes this tree is planted when family welcomes a new baby girl.
I love mimosa trees. Had one in Ct but moved to northern NH where they won't survive the winters. I do have 3 "house" trees. They won't flower but I can still enjoy the leaves.
Love Maples we have a Harlequin Maple leaves are green with a white edge. Doesn't get to big.
Super helpful video! My subdivision is looking to replace Bradford pear trees that are literally breaking apart during storms in Michigan. We do deal with apple scab on some crabapples but the blooms are worth it. 😊
Littleleaf lindens are a favorite food of the Japanese beetle in our z5. Top halves, tender leaves will be defoliated.
Japanese beetles defoliate roses, our Henry Lauder tree, any fruit trees, blackberries. A Google search about them listed over 300 species of plants they will defoliate. Worst garden pest!! 5:13
Lindens certainly are a magnet for Japanese Beetles in Nebraska. They totally emaciate and skeletalize the leaves.
@@heathersheets5010My Rose of Sharon and linden get destroyed every year by Japanese beetles
Maybe it is a problem pest in the Midwest. We have been using a beetle attractant with bags, a total of seven in our yard and have replaced the bags full of beetles at least eight times since late June. We do have less damage on their favorite plants to attack. They are an invasive with a capital I!!!
And I removed a 12 foot tall climbing hydrangea because the beetles feasted on it every year.
Enjoyable Tree Skow ! Thanks Laura and Aaron
Love the info on the trees. Thank you! Have a wonderful week
Thanks for the beautiful descriptions of the various trees.
Great information, Laura & Aaron, and also great editing, Ken! 👍
You guys crack me up😀 Enjoy your videos together
Great video with all the pictures of the trees + those pictures showing the progress of their growths. Thank you.
Thank you thank you I was so needing help with tree selections and I’m in boot heel Missouri.
We lost our birch last year to borers....I cried when it came down last winter. It was my favorite tree and, bonus, it was planted by nature (birds)!! I've been wanting another but my husband is leary because he doesn't want to go through that again. THANK YOU for pointing me in the direction of some not susceptible to borers!!! I'm going shopping!!
Thank you for this video. It’s very helpful.
I agree Aaron, I don’t have a locus tree, but my yard is messy because of the neighbors tree! It also has the “banana’s”!
We just moved to a new home and state. We are a 6b and want to put more trees in. Thank you for this video!
Sigh! 100 Degree videos are starting. Still interesting! My fave of this genre is the bulb video. I need to buy mine soon.
Love this video! So much helpful info.
Outstanding informational video! Thank you for sharing!😀👋👋
Ii loved the blue spruce from the garden center. Rooting for more!
I love how you two love trees😍😍
Great info! Really appreciate it.
Trees and more trees are my favorite topic. The gorgeous foundation of any garden!
Absolutely beautiful bulbs ALL the varieties! Magnifique!🌷⚘️🌷⚘️🌷
Thanks for the info. I am going to get a few you have recommended.thanks for all your great videos and inspiration.
Great trees. Love them all. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Love your crabapple trees. Specially the white winter one.❤🎉
I love you videso reagrding trees, great information thank you 😊💯💯
Thank you for this taping. I don't have a large area, but always enjoy hearing what trees will work in all areas. 😁
