Thanks so much James. You can read between the lines a bit to estimate the division, transplanting & finishing times of the calamagrostis, but so much of that planning is specific to the climate and the workplace (like where it fits in with other crops in the work flow).
excellent video about decorative grass love the pampas grass and Japanese blood grass, and the method and tolls to divided this grass thank you so much 😊👍👍👍👍
Hi Jason, great video, enjoyed it a lot! Love the fact that you are showing how a specialist nursey deals with divisions and grow of their gtass. Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😂
Thanks Sharon. Julia mentioned that they do a lot of their own propagation for perennials these days, and I didn't even get a look at their true propagation house (on the other site).
Are they trimming the fine fibrous roots from the grasses? I’ve divided grasses before, never knew that they could be divided into such small divisions. But then again, I’m usually placing the clumps back in the ground because I never have enough or the right type of potting soil to use. Please make an easy potting soil mix video! Loved the tour!
Thanks so much. Yes, they trimmed off excess roots. Part of the reason may be the trays they're dividing into: those 32 and 72 cell trays I showed in the next shot don't have a load of room for roots. Julia and Rajpal also talked about the risks of rot - and any dead, damaged or loose tissue should be removed before putting them down to root. In the process of tearing the grasses apart, no doubt there's a bit of damage to the fine roots, so trimming away the loose stuff to get back to firm healthy roots near the crown seems like a decent idea. This would vary a bit by the grass variety, but the calamagrostis seemed to recover well from smaller trimmed divisions.
That was so interesting! Our grasses are looking so beautiful, I can't bring myself to cut them down yet, so it's going to have to wait until early spring. I loved the tour! Thanks. I want to know where they shipped the red echinacea. :) I need more of that in my garden.
Also, Jason, could you do a video on how horticultural fleece actually works - myth busting? It doesn't offer insulation of over the winter as there is no heat source inside, but seems to just keep off wind, hail and heavy rain. Plastic greenhouses, unheated greenhouses and cold frames are the same way - they offer no heat differential from the outside when day and night is near zero. An exploration would be much appreciated.
This was such a great video! Just curious, when the lady mentioned " spraying " the grasses after replanting, what is sprayed on them? Thank you for taking the time to visit other places and sharing with us...
Thanks Michael. I didn't press for details, and I sort of assume that most commercial nurseries do some amount of spraying along the way. If I had to guess (which probably isn't the best idea, but here goes!) I'd think something like a selective herbicide or pre-emergent to hold down the weeds until the calamagrostis shades them out.
Thanks, Jason! That's what I was thinking but wanted to ask. I did notice the bare soil around the replants and thought to myself, weed control could be a significant issue. Once again, thank you for your videos! Very much enjoy the content...
Good work, you made a video about watching grass grow interesting. Do a paint drying video next, just kidding with ya love your videos and you put out really good information.
Jason, I learn so much from your videos! One suggestion for those of us less knowledgeable about plant names- could you sometimes give us its common name as well? TIA
What an interesting and informative video Jason! I just planted Twilight Zone Little Bluestream as I was instantly attracted to the blue/grey luminescence of the leaves. Question - she said that once the grass is divided they spray it - with what and for what purpose? Also, is Exemplar a wholesale seller? 😃😃😃
Yes, they're a wholesale supplier mainly to independent garden centers in western Canada. I didn't ask for details on the spray, but my guess would be a preemergent to control weeds until the calamagrostis shades out competition.
do you know how to check the pampas grass' gender?i read that the female will have more flowers than the male? i have 2 pampas for 1 year.none of them has flower yet.location Belgium.they are in ground.
I'm confused on the pot size/growth speed equation. I thought it was said that putting the cuttings into smaller plug trays caused faster growth than if they were placed into a larger plug size. Then later in the video she shows them putting what seemed like fairly small starts into the large pot she filled at the machine. Is it just that once you have the plug you don't want to have repot multiple times to get the larger size pot ready to sell and labor for that would add to the cost?
Thanks. It's one of the trickier conversations in horticulture, and if you have time you could look at the video I made on the topic: ruclips.net/video/9-KFZg53h70/видео.htmlsi=AdeiOzaCQKGasLqG So in general I agree that matching a smaller input with a smaller plug or pot size allows for quicker rooting and advantages in managing space and watering. The trade-off is the extra labor involved in repotting through the various sizes as you move from smaller division to large pot. In the calamagrostis we were following for instance, it might go through three stages to grow into a 2 or 5 gallon (32 cell --> 6 inch --> 2 gallon, for instance). Going straight from division to 2 gallon would be a huge waste of space and make it really difficult to get the plant rooted and sized-up in the pot. On the other hand the perennial that Julia dropped straight into a 2 gallon pot (was that a delphinium do you think?) may be a little more aggressive with rooting over the fall season (they do their best growing the cool season). All of that would come down to the experience and recommendations of the production planner - in this case it's Greg, who has a ton of experience with perennials and grasses, and can also fall back on industry recommendations as needed.
I think they mean a smaller plug will grow roots faster and be a 'finished' plug more quickly than a larger size. Then that flat of finished plugs could be sold as a flat of plugs, or moved up to a bigger pot size and grown on for sale at a larger size. I think....
I divided my anthurium plant I recently bought. I had intentions of getting a peace lily but not available. Those plants are very easy for me to ➗ but getting cuttings to root are still extremely difficult for me. I had more than a dozen rose cuttings but only one actually rooted and is now out of the container when it was a cutting but now it actually has some leaves on it.
Late spring/early summer when the roses are coming into bloom is a pretty good time - but even into summer is fine if you can get the conditions right.
Jason, nobody, to my knowledge, has done a video on successfully creating a large rose arch with climbing roses. That is, how to train and construct it. I have a 3.5 metre wide arch, 2.7 metre high, a metre deep. It is free standing - not against a wall or structure. So there is a lot of movement in the canes and they cannot be left to grow unbound or there is a lot of cane wounding. I wonder if you have a local large rose arch, or are thinking of putting on in yourself. It seems to be a different and quit a specific type of rose project. I'd love a vid exploration of this topic, if you fancy it. Thanks
Thanks for weighing in. I won't revisit the peat debate with you, as we've had the discussion before and I can respect you enough to disagree on the sustainability question without trying to get in the last word. On spraying, I think you're a little off base in lumping all spray applications together. Saying "all sprays are bad in every situation" is just about equally false as saying "all sprays are fine, safe and beneficial". That is: it ignores the details, and when it comes to science, the details really matter. Spray is just a method of application. It can be used for synthetic pesticides, or it can be used for insecticidal soap, natural sulfur compounds, horticultural oil, plant growth regulators, minor nutrient application, etc. Even within the "hard" pesticides, there's quite a difference between careless use and judicious use, just as there are major differences in the details of the chemistry. I say this with the background of having worked with Paula and Greg, and you'd hardly find a couple of people who think more carefully about the impacts of their production decisions. Long before the evidence was convincing, Greg championed the removal of neonicotinoids from production at the perennial nursery where we worked together. All that to say I won't judge without the details, and I know enough about the people involved to know that they're already weighing the pros and cons.
Jason, your content is always so interesting.
And you are a positive asset to anyone's business.
Thank you.
Amazing video! So interesting, learned a bunch! Another great idea, Thank you❤
Thank you so much!
One of your best videos. Thanks. I'd love to see the plant/transplanting schedule if possible.

I appreciate it Mary!
Thank you to all for this . Love grasses.
This was just great!!! I'd love to see how they do other perennial plant fall propagation too.
Thanks Sharon. Julia mentioned that they do a lot of their own propagation for perennials these days, and I didn't even get a look at their true propagation house (on the other site).
I love ornamental grasses. Thanks for the nursery tour 😊
You're most welcome!

Thanks! They ship to a lot of the local garden centers in the lower mainland.
tall grasses are always a lot of fun.
Also, Jason, could you do a video on how horticultural fleece actually works - myth busting? It doesn't offer insulation of over the winter as there is no heat source inside, but seems to just keep off wind, hail and heavy rain.

Lol. Thanks!
Great tour! Grasses arent very popular in my area of Florida 9b so i mail order a lot
Jason, I learn so much from your videos! One suggestion for those of us less knowledgeable about plant names- could you sometimes give us its common name as well? TIA
Thanks Kathy. I do try to get the common name in there either verbally or in a text box during editing. Which did I miss?
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm honestly it was in a previous video I watched. No problem-🙂
Having everything on the ground, did they say that they have problems with snails and slugs?
Yes, anyone who grows perennials around here will have slug and snail issues. I saw a little damage on their brunnera crop (a common target!).
What an interesting and informative video Jason! I just planted Twilight Zone Little Bluestream as I was instantly attracted to the blue/grey luminescence of the leaves.

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you for this info!
Great video ! What do you do to get the weeds out of the between rows ?
Thanks. I can't say for certain, but she did mention an initial spray (for weeds?) - once the calamagrostis gets to height it's far less a problem.
Did i hear they left the Karl plugs in 4 inch pots. And leave outside? Zone ?
Zone 8
They were in jackets, so i thought cooler. Lol
do you know how to check the pampas grass' gender?i read that the female will have more flowers than the male?
i have 2 pampas for 1 year.none of them has flower yet.location Belgium.they are in ground.
I haven't grown pampas myself, but I hear that most of the grasses grown in the trade are female because of the broader, showier flowers.

😂 I just keep finding more videos that I haven’t watched !!! Pot sizing makes sense now!

I had more than a dozen rose cuttings but only one actually rooted and is now out of the container when it was a cutting but now it actually has some leaves on it.
Anything other than 0% is a good start IMHO! It all comes with persistence.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm should cuttings be taken in early spring? Last time I took them in the middle of summer.
Late spring/early summer when the roses are coming into bloom is a pretty good time - but even into summer is fine if you can get the conditions right.
Some ornamental grass are known as cutty grass here in NZ and for a reason. They can cut your skin sharper than many knives.
Ouch - I guess ripping by hand would be a very bad idea!
I really liked the automatic pot filler segment. Who knew?

Thanks - I'll look into the topic.
fab. Thanks. @@FraserValleyRoseFarm 💛
Ok off topic! I have a question about everyone has a name and mine is just numbers? Lol did I fill out something wrong on RUclips ?
Just numbers 😂
I think it's something you can change in your account "Basic Settings" under "Handle"
👍❤️😊
Think we saw the cheap labour 😬
Red coat girl loves the word Super ! Super !
We need more of this kind instead of making Elon rich.
A shame that they are still using peat and spraying
