    David, thank you for posting such a great video about Scarlet Fire! You really captured everything I would like to tell people about the plant. I knew it the first time I saw it bloom as a four year old seedling back in 2012 it was going to be something special! Your video really captures what we love about the tree. It adds a vibrant splash of pink color to the landscape that on a sunny day you can see for a very long distance away. Thanks again for posting such a nice, valuable video!

      Thank you, It is wonderful to know you approve of our efforts. The bracts do seem to have a special reflective quality that is helps them beam out color to glow in the light.
      Thanks for the sub to our channel and for bringing us such a gorgeous, outstanding selection.

      As you've probably noted, we put a lot of effort into testing and trialing, and then selecting the best performers for our (Mid-Atlantic and Northeast) region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ So hopefully, when you get them home and planted, you will be able to enjoy them for many, many years.

    Thank you for the video on Scarlet Fire Dogwood Tree… It was very helpful… I have one of these beauties and didn’t know much about it… it seems mine is under some stress… I just planted it last spring… hoping next year it will be more Established… it really is a Beautiful tree

    • @OverdevestNurseries
      @OverdevestNurseries  2 года назад +2

      You are very welcome, we are delighted to hear you found this video helpful. As you can see, it will take a few years for your plant to settle in, put out its roots and get fully established, but when it does, you are in for a spectacular treat each and every year! Meanwhile, if you haven't already put down some mulch and supplement the watering to "nurse" it through any prolonged dry summer periods. That will help relieve summer drought stress and of course, be careful not to over do it. Too much water can saturate the planting spot and that can be detrimental too.

    What are the ages of the trees at the 2 minute mark?

    • @OverdevestNurseries
      @OverdevestNurseries  8 месяцев назад +1

      They are only about 3 years old. We estimate that they are approximately 6-7 years old in total (3-4 years in the nursery and 3 years in this garden).
      If you inquire at some of our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/, they will be able to help you obtain some that are grown in 10 gallon pots and will be about the same size as these ones when they were planted.
      And as you've probably noted in the video, David explains how this variety flowers well as a young specimen, but it often takes a year or two of patience for it to get its root system established, and start to produce its delightful large, deeply colored bracts.
      We hope this helps answer you question.

    I planted one a year ago yesterday, March 11, 2022, in a semi-shaded wooded area. I also keep it protected from browsing animals, by enclosing it in a mesh-covered cage, which allows both light and water through to nourish it. I'm excited to see when it will leaf out this year in about a month.

      Yes, there's always plants that we wish we could grow isn't there?
      David says, no matter where he has been (or whom he has been talking to), there's always things that are either too tender, too dry, too sunny, too wet, or in this case too hot and humid for the conditions that we find ourselves in.
      Still we can always lust after them and dream that maybe we can find a way to grow similar looking things, "up sticks" and move, or just enjoy looking at pretty pictures!

      It sounds like your plant may be struggling a bit after transplanting. This is always a critical period with a plant trying to adjust to its new home. Which is why we put a lot of effort into growing our trees (in a special way) in containers to form a mass of finely textured root system.
      This link: ruclips.net/video/SNu2CI10oF0/видео.html to one of our other videos on planting a container grown tree will explain in more detail.
      If you know any knowledgeable master gardeners, garden coaches or even someone from your local Extension Service you may want to have them take a look. They will be able to determine if the soil drainage looks OK, if the top part is still alive and likely to re-flush and grow out again, or if it is dead, and the plant needs to be pruned and reshaped to allow it to form a new leader etc.
      Meanwhile, give it plenty to TLC, water it regularly (especially during any dry spells) and mulch the planting spot too, if you haven't already done that.
      Then if you rewatch our video, you will hear David explain (around the 8.30 minute mark) how trees like this often take a few years to settle in and get established, and in this case, our tree was in its third year after transplanting. So, often its a matter of adjusting to the new site, establishing a root system that reaches out into the surrounding soil and beyond. And then, that's when you will start to see the sort of gorgeous response that our trees are showing in the video.
      We hope this helps.

    Looks like a slow grower like a lot of kousas... I'm Southern Ontario Z5 (so winters similar to Buffalo and Detroit..maybe a touch colder). Will this survive? Also the pink bloomers tend to bloom less than the white Kousas.. Is this an exception? TY

    • @OverdevestNurseries
      @OverdevestNurseries  9 месяцев назад +1

      Once it gets established and rooted into its new site it is quite fast growing and flowers profusely. And, as David mentions (at the 8 minute mark), unlike many other C. kousa selections, it flowers well as a young plant, but may take a year or two to start coloring up to produce its big, deeply colored bracts, and once that happens it is truly spectacular.
      As you may have noted, our experience is limited to our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern USA region, where we know it performs well in the warmer parts of Zone 6 & 7 but we are unable to guide you much with your conditions in Canada. It is a relatively new plant that is still undergoing trials in colder areas, so if you decide to try it, please let us all know how you get on.

    • @OverdevestNurseries
      @OverdevestNurseries  9 месяцев назад +1

      Absolutely, that's (after all) what we are doing in the nursery...... We grow all our plants (including this selection) in pots.
      The key is to put in in (as you've mentioned) a large pot, the more soil volume the better, that means more room for the roots to grow, less fluctuation in soil temperature (cold in winter and hot in summer), and very importantly good drainage.
      When you are ready to begin, we would suggest that you arrange to have a consultation with the experts at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/. They are located all over our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region, and will be able to help you with all that you will need.
      Just remember that it often takes a year or so, for this selection to root out and become established, and that's when you will begin to see all these gorgeous deep pink blossoms.

    • @OverdevestNurseries
      @OverdevestNurseries  2 года назад

      All it needs is good culture and patience!
      In our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/
      you will find ones that are older and more established than you describe. The idea is to present healthy well grown specimens that have a well furnished branch structure and already have an established leader, so that they will quickly settle in and be on their way to making glorious small trees (like the ones in the video).
      Our motto is to "grow them big enough to make instant impact in the garden but small enough to fit in the truck of a car" Planting smaller, younger ones is fine, but obviously they will need plenty of TLC..... watering during dry periods, mulching, gentle, balanced fertilizing, pruning and training to select a leader and then just time!
