Haven’t watched yet so forgive if you already answered it, but would these do well in hot, humid, rainy environments like the coastal flood plains of SC? If they can’t handle the wet I doubt they’ll like my yard…

Thank you VERY much!!!! I was searching so long until I came across this video.

Do you place the node under soil or keep all nodes above soil?

Thank you for the info. I've just ordered purple tree collard cuttings from Etsy and wish now I'd bought the seeds instead. Either way, I'm excited to add this to my perrinal garden and I'll order the green seeds from your site. Thanks again for the info 💜 happy growing 💜

I find that baking soda and regular flower sprinkled on my plants gets rid of the bad bugs, snails ect ( here in NW GA.) all natural and no chemicals 💜

We'll survive this period of heat. JUST LIKE THEY DID DURING THE DUST BOWL IN THE 1930s and 1940s. Temps flutuate all the time. God didn't make a perfert universe. LOL!

My tree collars plants are over fourteen years old lately I have been having a lot disease issues such as black rot, and Alternaria leaf spot which keeps coming back. This video inform me that it's time to start over. Thank You

So helpful thank you!

Thanks

Thanks. And nice banjo too.

Sequoiah, thanks for the videos on Tree Collards. I did not know there were so many ways to spell Sequoiah

spoon works better

I notice you're cutting the stalks above the lowest leaves. Mine are about three or four feet tall, with NO leaves on the lower stalk. Can I still safely cut the tops off leaving a leafless stalk, or will the plant struggle with no leaves to sustain it. If I can't cut below the lowest leaf, what else can I do to rescue a leggy, spindly tree collard?

It is supposed to be up to 104 this week and my tomatoes are in pots I haven’t even got them into the ground yet . I’m hoping to put them under my covered porch fir a few days and water them I do not know what else to do 😢

I'm in zone 7a. When should I plant my seeds inside and when should I transplant them out? I assume I'm too late for this year.

Keep the videos coming!

Great videos, thanks! I have 2yr old tree collards and I’ve been fighting leaves turning yellow and light pink the whole time. Is this something you’ve seen?

How to make cuttings

How do you make cuttings

Thanks for the tips. I am in north central Florida (9a) and was considering whether or not to plant my seedlings tree collards in partial shade. Many plants that are said to require full sun do not thrive or survive in Florida full sun, even in zone 9a. In a forest setting, I plant less sun tolerant perrenials in areas that receive partial shade during the summer, as with the onset of winter the surrounding trees lose their leaves and provide tolerable full sun to these plants during the less harsh sunlight of winter. My land is mostly a pine and oak forest, with a few clearings where trees died natural deaths (other than 2 small oaks to grow shiitake mushrooms) which receive full sun. There is a 1-3 inch mycorrhiza carpet. To plant potted nursery plants I cut away the mycorrhiza in a 6-12 inch circle, insert the potting soil, and mulch with wood chips to fertilize ("Back to Eden" style) and to encourage mycorrhiza to regrow where mycorrhiza was removed. I use a blend of soil high in organic matter in the planting hole to help prevent damage by root knot nematodes prevalent in the top 6 inches of Florida's sandy soil. This typically works very well in my growing conditions. Above ground pest pressure in Florida id difficult, but varieties of insects comes in waves at different times of the year. Vigilant insect removal, organic pest control deterrents, selecting plant varieties that aren't destroyed by pest pressure, and planting seedlings at times when pest pressure is less prevalent, are a few techniques that help negate pest pressure. Iimportantly, cutworms in my area prevent direct seeding and planting seedlings with stems less than 1/8 inch in diameter. These tips will hopefully help central Florida growers.

Helpful tip on the weed and flowering. Pull those first. Thanks!

Hello, I am in Jacksonville Florida and my purple tree collards isn’t doing well I’m not sure if it’s because of it is hot but they are in shade

I love the calls of your baby dragons in the background.

Hello. Im totally sympathetic to your aches and pains. You'll find me laying flat on the ground dirty or not. We ordered a pkt of seeds from you 2 seasons ago. Germination was great then, and left over seeds also germinated too. Thank you for your efforts. Dave

Could you do a video on watering, on how to not overwater or underwater in different stages of the tree collards life. Also give advice on if the tree should ever be watered in the wintertime.

You do a great job on your videos

I appreciate your videos!

Hello: I bought some tree collards from you a few months ago and they are doing very well. This is my first season with them. What temperatures can tree collards tolerate?

Yay tree collards 😊

This is so cool thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thank you! I love your manner of explaining. It was just what I needed! I hope your method works well in Switzerland.

Thank you for the video. Very informative

Everglades Tomatoes are heat tolerant, don't require daily watering, and can grow wild in Florida sand. They are a small tasty currant tomato that grow prolifically on an indeterminate vine.

I have,12 purple collard Green cuttings that i bought, i have them in water and They are already growing. watchimg this, im plantimg them all. I was going to give some away.

Thanks!

Just up potted mine from seeds this weekend. They are growung nicely. I have 2 varieties from you. The seeds were great germination.

I bought the Big Blue seeds from you in September, and they are now about waist-high and doing beautifully here in Central Florida. I got 100% germination and nice healthy plants. I recommend your tree collards and tree collard seeds to anyone who will listen to me. You can't have a food forest without these plants! Thank you Sequoiah!

That transplant tool looks handy

Much needed information. Thank you.

When I get back to my home place, I’m determined to get some of these started! Currently caring for elder family member elsewhere.

🌱 ThankYou 🍃

Thank you. Changing my biggest-first leaf-harvesting strategy now, as my purple collards is beginning to look like a palm tree. 🌴😅 Although there are some small leaf shoots below, they are tending to yellow and drop as the plant seems to be favoring the uppermost leaves (they only get afternoon direct sun).

Excellent

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.

I finally figured out that nobody in my area knows what a tree collard is. I will be ordering soon. 😊

Thank you for the demo💜 I will say you should definitely monetize your channel. Full stop. There is nothing wrong in 2024 with monetizing and adding short 10 or 15 sec ads. This a a way of life and you are missing out on the benefits of all of your hard work. Besides youtube is adding ads to more and more videos niw. You might as well get your cut. After all you channel is part of your business sakes funnel. Just saying❤ Long time supporter🌸💕

love all of your videos, thank you so much for sharing with us!

I am curious where the sun comes up on your home. In the front to the back yard or

Is it possible to transplant one that I planted in a four gallon pot about a year ago? I live in hot southern Utah
