I goofed on the last one. That is Illicium parviflorum and not I. floridanum. I have covered the plant many times and just had a talking brain misfire. Thanks for watching!
I’m late to the game but am slowly but surely working through older videos and getting my HortTube education. The foundation plant playlist is MASSIVE and massively helpful. Thank you! 🌱🌿🍂🍁
THANK YOU!!! You just made my job much easier!! It’s great to have all the information needed for choosing fast growing hedges condensed in a 30 min video.
WONDERFUL video! Perfect for those of us looking for particular size, etc. plants. Please do more of these. They are great because I really trust your experience and expertise. Thanks Jim ❤️
Great video. Thank you so much for having the name of the plant down at the bottom of the screen, while you are talking about it!!! VERY HELPFUL!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Perfect timing, Jim! I have a bunch of holes in various mixed screening hedges across a massive property. I think I have a use case for each of these shrubs. Fantastic content for Fall planting!
Jim, you have done it again. Great video. Every shrub I have in my yard is because of you. I also have 3 Little Gem Magnolia’s and to my surprise in zone 9 Texas, they are flowering again.
헬로우, 사랑하는 친구, 자연에 둘러쌓여 있는 삶은 너무나 푸르르고 아름다워요. 행복하고 즐거운 시간 함께합니다. Thank you very much. Dear my friend😍🌹👍Have a happy day.🤗 I am always cheering for you. 😍👍
Thank you for your videos. You really are a great source of information and are very helpful to your viewers. Because of your numerous videos I was able to score Chindo’s, Nellie R Steven Hollies, Whoa Nellies and Privet for a mixed border. All for a reasonable price! This year I got some bigger Whoa Nellies to add to the border. The bigger they are, the brighter it gets. All my plants are growing pretty fast even the ones I have in shade.
My rear neighbor has a menance of a dog acquired during the pandemic. There are some existing evergreens on their side but there are gaps and i have the pleasure of watching the dog poop on the fence line from the deck and kitchen. I need fast growing and wide that gets at least 4 ft. stays green in ohio.
So much wisdom in this video thank you! I have a 2 acre yard with lots of old trees but basically no shrugs. ALL my neighbors can see into my yard. I need a lot of varying heights but didn't know where to start and I didn't know there were such pretty options
We used a yoshino Cryptomeria in our front yard as a specimen tree near the road to block out an unsightly view across the street...its 3 yrs old now and its put on a ton of growth this year doing exactly what we need it to do! Along the back of our property we put in 3 Carolina sapphire that are growing SUPER FAST and outpacing everything else we put in that screen. Thank you for this list!
Loved this survey! I want 'em all-not in Zone 6B!-and again made me yearn to live in Zone 7. But you gave me some fine choices for my slightly colder region in SW VA.
I have had deer lightly snacking on my illicium. Usually it is the young deer that take nibbles and then spit it out but we have an extremely heavy deer population. Thanks for the great plant videos!!
We planted a Taylor Juniper in Spring 2022 and it looks like it is still the same size when planted (2 years later) so it is definitely slow growing. Hoping it will only reach 15’ high in our zone 5 but it is a beautiful little evergreen.
Excited to see another screening video, I’ve watched your previous ones at least a dozen times and have bought several things you recommended so far. I have a running list of things to look for at nurseries now.

I am with Stephanie on this one 100% I LOVE the Roman Candle!! The house we are moving to is twice as big as where I am now. Which means a smaller "green space" for planting, and neighbors seem a bit closer as well. Still will be in that TX. Gulf Coast zone 9b. I believe it will do nicely for me. We will live on Oak Dr. And guess what? Lol LOTS of mature Oaks everywhere! Thank you again for sharing such great information.
Starting in June I planted over 50 trees and shrubs in my yard myself here in northeast OK. 20 are Japanese maples from North Carolina😉 Had I saw this video prior I would have made a few different choices!!! Thank you Jim!
I’m glad you said that about the Illicium’s seeming wimpy at first. I just planted Coppertop Viburnum and they get wilty in the afternoon heat. I know once they’re established they’ll be fine. S. Texas ✌🏼🌿
Interesting comparison about the photinia (redtip) shrubs - I used to have several that I used to conceal a neighbor's outdoor utility shed. They did catch the silvery mildew virus, which I successfully treated with something recommended by our state agricultural extension agent. In later years they simply became overgrown for the location and I had them removed and stumps dug up in order to create a new smaller shrub bed. Those podocarpus plants are very interesting! I may have to get one in the not-too-distant future!
That last one was interesting. I’m probably at the northern edge of its range in Knoxville. The American holly I planted this spring seems to be doing well. It should get big eventually. 👍🏼
Broad-leaf evergreens are dearest to my heart. Loved your video! FYI, the photo you showed with Illicium henryi was not correct, but I. henryi is a gem in my 7A yard. Please do a show on wet-tolerant broad-leaf evergreens! I know you mentioned that Illicium was tolerate of wet sites, but curious about others. I would imagine Sabal minor and Agarista populifolia might be good ones, but need more ideas.
We’ve had horrible, record high heat and drought in south Mississippi this summer and Leyland Cypress, Green Giant arborvitae, and green emerald arborvitae have really suffered.
Hi Hort I have problem with my misting heads, which is dripping after each cycle , i managed to get the mist heads u put on the description on the backyard propagation series,
Thanks for the great video. Did you mention Schip Laurel? I've just planted 4 of these, and while I had an issue with overwatering (my fault) this summer, they are growing great now and look like they'll make a great screening.
Love the selection but most of its not hardy here in zone 6 southern Ontario. It seems s I’m just one zone short of a wonderful selection of evergreen shrubs.
In my previous landscape, there was a holly tree at least 25-30 feet tall. When it bloomed, the pollinators made the tree sound like it was singing. I hated the leaves it shed because they were sharp and didn't seem to want to decompose! However, from walking our county botanical garden I see that Holly is a favorite I guess because it handles the sand and salt so well. Plus, it is beautiful in winter with the dark green leaves and red berries. Now, I am 10 minutes from the coast and a new landscape to create. Is there a holly that has leaves that won't be weapons on my bare feet and would do well against the north side of my house?
Can you share why spruces and pines are an absolute no? Umbrella pines can provide a fine glossy texture to mix in to a privacy hedge - and by choosing one that is a soft yellow can really brighten up your space. And, oriental spruces depending on the cultivar, can also provide color which intensifies in winter -- and you get gorgeous pink red cones that look really get in the spring…. There are variegated conifers too. It is simply a matter of shopping in the right places.
Thanks for this! Our arborvitaes suffered this past summer, so going to have to do the mixed screen you've suggested multiple times. We'd planted those before watching your channel. I'd be planting on top of a retaining wall, would any of your recommendations possibly have aggressive roots that would damage that retaining wall with it's roots? Thanks for all you do, Jim and Steph!
I have a fairly newly planted moonbeam hydrangea about 1 1/2 ft tall. A rabbit bit it off ,almost to the ground . Will it come back , if not this year , maybe next year? Love your videos
How far from the property line do you recommend planting these screening plants? For example, if you have a 20’ spread should it be 10’ from the property line? I ask since I don’t have a back fence and need screening plants on the side of a particular neighbor however they are very cranky about anything on “their” side. Thank you!
Hi Jim, you mentioned Bigfoot Cleyera in passing, but didn’t feature it. Is there something you like less about it, or it’s not as interesting as the others?
Need one for very large landscape for fence privacy but. Not necessary to repel all the deer we like to watch ‘em we planted some eleagnous but now afraid to plant any more
@@JimPutnam I can say I'd love to have some camellias but it's too cold. Podocarpus and illicium are two more things I'd love to have but once again Appalachia is too cold. That said I have needle palms and a sabal minor which makes no sense lmao
Ok I am dyslexic it would take me two life times to remember all the names of the plants you just described . And to spell them the universe doesn’t have enough time . lol
Excellent video! I'm searching for a fast growing evergreen shrub (4 to 6 hours full sun) for a 15' to 20' tall privacy hedge. Mackie Podocarpus looks like it could work but what about Nellie Stevens or Skip Laurel maybe? Anyone know of other good options?
What do you recommend for zone 5? We have a deer problem, so the Giant Green Arbs have all been eaten. Looking for an evergreen with a wide base that grows quickly and gets fairly tall. Love the videos! Really interesting seeing all the different varieties
Can you really plant a camellia in Zone 6 -- in Northern New England? My understanding is that only a subset of the Ackerman series is Zone 6A, and even those are not recommended for areas North of NYC other than places like Martha’s Vineyard (which is Zone 7A in places).
Sir i have a quick question but first and foremost I've watched a lot of your videos and they are very helpful and informational here is the question can you plant the Nellie R stevens Holly and Robin Red Holly together to make a privacy fence?
I’m adding a narrow screen this fall & think the mood ring podocarpus would look fantastic… 3-4ft apart? I have about 15ft to work with and it ends in a corner would these look best in a hedge or mixed border? Thanks for the informative video!
I love these broadleaf evergreens. I have a camellia April Love that grows in my zone 6b garden and blooms in april. I would like to grow that ligustrum recurvifolium and you had a video where you mentioned you could push these a bit. We rarely get temps below zero 2-3 blocks from lake Erie, more mild than even a mile or two inland. What conditions do I need to maintain to have the best chance of pushing something like that to grow in my area?
Great video! Any thoughts on Chindo Viburnum? Or any concerns that kept it off this list? Having just put a few in the ground I'm wondering if I'll need to save this video to reference for some replacements.
Loved this video..but.. I was wondering why you didn’t mention elaeagnus and viburnums? I’m in 9b,Houston TX. Normally we don’t experience very cold winter weather but we deal with hot and humid summers. Any recommendations short of moving?
Looking in Charleston SC for Early Wonder. Brownswood on Johns Island and Hyams on James Island didn't have them Where oh where can I find them? No luck at Lowe's or HD. Thanks!
Hi! Great video, we are planning to work on our yard next year and these are great selections! What is the plant Next to the illicium ? (in 25:23) and how big does it get? thanks!
I goofed on the last one. That is Illicium parviflorum and not I. floridanum. I have covered the plant many times and just had a talking brain misfire. Thanks for watching!
This evergreen series is probably the most helpful series you have ever done... and that's saying a lot with your valuable content! I love it!

I ask since I don’t have a back fence and need screening plants on the side of a particular neighbor however they are very cranky about anything on “their” side. Thank you!
It depends on the plant. Just divide the ultimate width of the plant by 2 and put them that far off the line. Some of these stay super narrow
Hi Jim, you mentioned Bigfoot Cleyera in passing, but didn’t feature it. Is there something you like less about it, or it’s not as interesting as the others?

Can you recommend a shrub for a pretty shaded area, but then will get afternoon sun for about three hours.
This is my exact situation- have you found anything???
Privet is great if you love to pull up seedlings every year
