Good to see the review for Wilson brothers. I saw plants I wanted from them many times, but read bad reviews for them and so I have never placed an order with them. I ordered some osmanthus sasaba and purpureus from gossler farms this spring, and your plants look better than mine. Plus gossler ships from west coast and in a bag instead of pots, with dried out soil by the time it got to me near Knoxville tn. I didn't think they would survive, but so far they've done well as far as maintaining their color but no new growth yet, which is fine since I only planted 2 months ago, but I doubt I will ever order from them ever again because the soil definitely did not look good when I got the plants. Im really shocked that they didn't die by the way the soil looked, it was bone dry and powdery!!! I am truly amazed but they seem to be doing great for me so far. I have san jose osmanthus fortunei that have done well for me and I have even rooted some cuttings and planted them last year. My zone is 7a, but have gotten to -4f. I think by watching several of your videos today, that your zone is identical to mine, because I think you referenced the -4f temp as well.
@@moseseisley557 Some parts of their native range in western Massachusetts and central Minnesota can get somewhat hot in the summer, so I wouldn’t give up hope
Some nice new additions! Nothing like getting a box of plants delivered :) That's an interesting Osmanthus heterophyllus cultivar. I've tried Goshiki and Purpureus. Purpureus died after a -11 F low a few winters ago and Goshiki seems to stuggle in my 6A climate. I have an interesting Picea mariana cultivar that's very blue and doesn't seem to grow more than 1ft. Wish I kept the tag to know what it is called but they're extremely cold hardy!
Yeah, even my zone 7A is pushing it for osmanthus. I am hopeful that the picea mariana can withstand the heat of TN... pretty far outside of its natural range.
@@theweirdospfan.28 True for picea mariana, but this is likely grafted onto picea abies rootstock. Still, i am planning to place it in a partial sun location that gets plenty of water anyway.
Ooohh just saw the last bit of this video on the Foster holly. 😳🥺😲😫 that's terrible looking. They should be ashamed to mail it to you looking like that!!! They should have trimmed off the ugly leaves and presented that to you properly!!!

I've had good luck with Wilson brothers plants. I have a pretty good wish list with them. I enjoy your videos.
Thanks! Yeah, they are one of the best.

wilsonbrosgardens.com is one of the best in my experience. Yeah, sounds like our climates are nearly identical, but i bet you have better soil.
Picea mariana on its own roots is very cold and wet soil tolerant. They do look a little scraggly after a couple years though.
How do you think it will do in Tennessee? Too hot?

@@moseseisley557Make sure you put it somewhere wet! It really loves wet soil.
