  • How to Plant a Camellia - First Plant at New House - In this video I plant an October Magic® Ruby™ Camellia in the garden at the new house. It is a red fall flowering Camellia from the Southern Living Plant Collection. I show how I go about planting it in my clay soil. I am using all compost at the new place.

    The trenching shovel advice is some of the best advice I've ever gotten.

    That is a beautiful Camellia! I need a few more in my yard. As to your favorite shovel, I have a shovel my mother gave me about 45 yrs ago and this year the handle broke (I cried). I couldn't throw it away, and someone suggested I could replace the handle, so I will be doing that this winter. I understand that sentiment!

    Enjoyed your thorough mindset on planting this shrub (?). Not only do u explain the intention of the space but also how to care for it and talk about soil analysis and amendment. Great video! Can NOT wait to see this flourish.

    Can’t wait to see how you landscape your new place. I’m in Birmingham, Alabama and tonight it’s supposed to go down to 24 degrees. I think it was in the 70’s when it got this cold so soon. I usually have the air conditioner going on Thanksgiving.

    Hi, congrats! Think you could also discuss your thoughts about how far decided to set the plant from the building. I've seen some crazy close installations! It would be great to hear your thinking.

    Hello Jim,
    I am obsess with Camelias. Sadly I live in a zone 6. Any Camelias you know that are extremely hardy?
    Thanks so much
    Love your southern accent btw 😎

    Jim thanks for the video. I really like camellias. The red color is beautiful. It’s hard for me to dig in my yard due to heavy clay soil and tree roots everywhere in VA. Your shed is looking good. I need to replace mine. Thanks again.

    Jim, I just found you a few weeks ago and really enjoying your videos. I'm in south wake county and have clay too. We're planning on planting some japanese maples, a ginkgo, and some camellias this fall
    I do have a question - in other videos you say to use pine bark conditioner in clay, but you're using compost in this video. It looks easier on a large project. Does it matter? thanks

  • @jnett24

    Beautiful shrub/tree! Question for you. I’m in zone 8a. If you had to pick one camellia that gets very large and is faster grower of the camellias which one would you pick ? I want to plant 6-8 as a screen but worry it will be 10 years before they get 10 feet tall. Thanks for your wisdom ! Do you accept tips !? :)

  • @shuangsvlog7955
    @shuangsvlog7955 4 года назад

    Hi there my zone is 8b. I am thinking to use camellia sasanqua as privacy hedge for one side of my property and ligustrum for other sides. I am planning to keep them 7-8 feet tall eventually. My landscaper doesn’t like the idea that he told me ligustrum will be a lot fast growing than camellia. How many years will the camellia hedge reach 7 feet tall?

  • @peggyjk
    @peggyjk 5 лет назад

    I wondered what happened to the plants that you started put in at the garden center, did you dig all of them? I’m excited to see how your yard looks in a year. 😃

    • @JimPutnam
      @JimPutnam  5 лет назад

      I did take them all with me. Used a few on landscape jobs and I still have several.

    Would that trench shovel work for edging beds? I find the half moon edgers to be terrible and usually use a shovel, but then my shovel doesn't create a straight edge. Thanks.

    • @JimPutnam
      @JimPutnam  5 лет назад

      Yes, it's all I use. It isn't 100 percent perfect, but it's way faster

    Your not painting the shed first??? Your probably doing that yourself and don't have to worry about a contractor? And, can't wait to see the colors you pick for it.
