Hello gill, i really enjoy your videos. Im from cape breton nova scotia and i allways love conifirs even tho we cut pulp and hardwood for living. I got into planting trees in my parents yard when i was a kid and when i had my own house and yard i start planting trees that usually not from my part of country and ever since im adding and and some i collect seeds from them now, im so lucky to have a friend not far from me thats an dr. On plant life
I used to HATE pine trees. Now i find myself fascinated by the varieties of them. I started landscaping around my house and i added pines with bright color. It looks great and manly. Im looking to redo the front of my house now with more interesting pines.
Love your videos, thank you for them. Very much appreciated. I have my order placed with Larry Stanley, love his product. Keep talking and teaching, you are good at it. Stay well and remain positive.
Hey, Cliff. I have a 3 Gallon Pinus Parviflora ‘Kinpo’ that seems to be very pot bound and has several girdling roots that I am afraid if I leave alone will choke the tree. Is there a best time to cut these roots? I’m new to conifers and don’t want to take any chances. It wasn’t cheap. 😂
Hey! It’s great that you’re being proactive about your Pinus parviflora ‘Kinpo’! The best time to address girdling roots is during the spring, just before the tree starts its active growing season. This way, it has the best chance to heal and grow new roots. When you do prune the roots, make sure to be gentle and cut back only what's necessary. It’s also a good idea to repot it into a slightly larger container with fresh soil after trimming the roots. This will help it recover and thrive. Good luck, and feel free to ask if you have more questions!
great video. i luv conifers. have a small collection of dwarf conifers along with large ones like bald cypress, coastal redwood, etc. Where are u located?
Your the best Gil. Your love of conifers shows!
Thank You! Glad you enjoy them.
Cliff, I want to thank you again for your time at the nursery two weeks ago. So happy to have the plants you sold to me. Terry Virta
For wet and swampy areas, my favorite are Loblolly Pines, Atlantic White Cedar, Tamarack, Black Spruce, and Balsam Fir. All great options for my area.
Your videos inspired me to start getting conifers, thank you!
Thank you for sharing that.

25 years ago I did not like Pines either. Now they are some of my favorite conifers. Thanks for watching.
Lovely plants
Beautiful collection. Thank you for the inspiration.

You're living my dream!
Love ever green thanks for the video, are they all zone 3? I’m living here in Alberta where I can get those? Thanks
Some are zone 3. Trees that you purchase should have their zone on the tag or you can always look up their col hardiness zone.
