How many inches it grows a year? As far as root invasive, is this worse than a Chinese elm? And which grows faster?

Ear muffs are on. Only the flowers matter 😮

I have seen on "the spruce" that "highway ice plant" or Carpobrotus edulis is considered invasive. I live in the north where it won't be an issue.

I believe that they are native to growing in zone 9

Just watched your video I’ve been trying to find something like those vines for a while. Where can I find them? I know it’s been a while.

👍

Great video. Can you advise me on what to do when the center of my Spanish lavender opens up? That happened to two both my lavenders. Ugh

My Penstemon don’t bloom again after deadheading. What am I doing wrong?

In folk medicine , it is considered healing to the gallbladder.

I stumbled on this video series "Designwithplants". Very, very helpful for those unaware of the tricks of growing native California plants or Mediterrean plants in general. One friend of mine installed an elaborate drip system out to his Ceanothus bushes and managed to kill all five in two years. Ceanothus DOES NOT NEED ANY WATER, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. Was that loud enough? Same thing for Toyon, Coffeeberry, Santolina, Coyote Bush, Artemesia, etc. If it is from the hillsides of Cslifornis, throw the garden hose away. Do not install a drip system. I have a quarter acre front yard in Hollister, CA that has never seen added water after the first year of planting. It's heavy clay soil. The plants love it! I had a Galvezia die because it was in sandy soil (former front lawn sprinkler head). I had to dig out the draining soil and install clay. Next plant is thriving. This is a good series of videos!

I have this growing on my patio wall in southern Arizona. It doesn't seem quite as cold tolerant as you suggest. Most winters here we bottom out around 28 degrees a couple of nights in winter and that's enough to kill the new growth on the plant, but it always comes back vigorously in spring. It does mean we don't get flowers in winter so the plant is at its most attractive in autumn before the cold weather arrives. You are right about how much the hummingbirds love it.

Thank you for this extremely helpful video. I'm learning right alongside you, and you answered/ confirmed everything I was wondering about this beautiful succulent! It's my first, too.

African Sumac do well here in Tucson Arizona desert climate. We treasure any plants and trees that stay green all year 'round and don't require supplemental water like an irrigation system. African Sumac is evergreen here. Many of them just pop up here in our yards and landscapes and don't need supplemental watering. We keep African Sumac as our community trees, they popped up by themselves and grew on their own. They're also hardy for winter in the desert. Another great evergreen tree for desert is TEXAS EBONY. We just transplanted a hitchhiker African Sumac (a seed that popped up in my backyard from a bird or the wind) to our main landscape of our community. Have to give it water for the 1st 3 weeks then after it's used to it can just put on a little drip. But when it matures won't need to be watered even by drip. We'll keep it on a drip irrigation till it grows up.

Im in Southern California zone 10A can I ask what zone you are in?

I live in Monterey, Pacific Grove..good video, thanks..they are so beautiful!

All I've been reading about the Japanese honeysuckle is that is invasive, whereas other honeysuckle are not. I want to grow this though because it can be used as a full spectrum antibiotic. You can put the leaves in a smoothie, about 8 leaves a few times a day for 3 days and it kills Gram positive and gram negative bacteria, like a doxycycline. It can treat someone in sepsis in as little as 3 days and kill MRSA even. I don't want it to invade my yard though, so I'm hoping to grow in a pot with a pole or how best to contain it, but still keep it healthy and keep it around. It also doesn't produce resistant stains of bacteria like antibiotics do.

Can this plant handle southeast Texas humid heat? Zone 9

I planted one in my back yard 35 years ago from a 6 inch seedling I pulled out of the ground up in the mountains of SoCal at 5000 ft elevation. We are at el. 650 ft. It is about 35 feet tall and about as broad. I suspect its shed leaves provide insulation that reduces ground water evaporation. It is evergreen. It regularly produces seedlings. I water it occasionally in the Summer. I love that tree.

I haven't deadheaded mine, and it's gorgeous and huge in the ground year 2 full sun and sandy soil with high winds. It's free range, lol. 😊😂

I couldn't get any to grow in middle Georgia. 😢

Any for sale?

I live in the Pacific Northwest Oregon zone 8b and have 2 Sundance . I absolutely love them easy to care for and bright and showy ! They do like sun but mine I have in the back yard where it gets morning sun and some afternoon sun. Would like to have 1 in the front yard but I know hot afternoon sun would scorch it severely and probably kill it.

What light requirements have you observed? Will it bloom continuously with sun in the Southeast beginning ~ 11 am and ending ~3 pm?

This was incredibly helpful, thank you.

Great detailed video of digging a hole in hard soil and discussing the combination of tools that are needed. Appreciate how you kept it real with the least possible cuts and edits.

You sound like Mr. Rogers! 😊

The rabbits we have in western Washington like to munch on these.

No don't bush-wack this beautiful flowing grass/ Yellow African Iris. Thinning out, yes but... to chop it down to under 1ft NO!

I bought mine at a native plant nursery in Chico , CA. It is in a very crowded pot, guess I should it or repot before we get hit with the severe heat up here in Shasta County.

I enjoyed your video. Our have lots of aphids. It takes away from bringing in a bouquet once a week. Ours blooms / grow year round in Metro New Orleans area. 8 feet tell absolutely beautiful with very nice rose scent.

Nice Video. I have quite a few and your comments are spot on. They can look beautiful in a garden bed if you don't mind pulling off the seed heads, trimming out the brown leaves, and occasionally dividing. Thinned out looks so much prettier than shearing the leaves. But then I live in San Diego so they aren't affected by cold and look nice all year. And the profusion of white/purple flowers every 2 weeks is worth the bit of maintenance.

Very beautiful, Can it grow in pond?

👍👍🙋‍♀️

Hi, I am in southern cali and mine bloom all year long, just fyi😊

What does it mean when the leaves get DRY at the end and crisp up? How often do I need to water in your opinion I live in northern Cali hot summers

How do I remove this ? I’m looking for the best tool to replace some of this deer grass with fruit trees. I’m new to Northern California and it’s everywhere on my property so I need to remove it despite some liking it. I’d be happy to sell someone deer grass plants or herbs

From edge or corner of house do you start 12” in then?

I have a love/hate relationship with this plant as well. Growing up in my childhood home my parents planted silverberry around the patio. I remember several times being tasked with hedging them. It wasn't HARD, it was just something 12 year old me didn't want to do. Fast forward 25 years later and before my parents sold the house that hedge was, eh, about 15 feet tall? lol They got so massive it was insane and my parents just stopped bothering to maintain it aside from cutting enough back to have a covered, living canopy over the patio (was actually kinda cool, really.) So now I finfd myself, in my late 30's and in my own home, putting down a row of new silverberry on my side of the property line in the front between me and my neighbor. Because I know, in about 3-4 years, it's gonna be a impressive hedge/barrier.

Gorgeous! Greetings from the Lone Star State!

These do very well in east coast Australian climates 👍🏼

I would really enjoy reading more about your business. I live in Chico, was burned out of Paradise including my 40 year gardening business. Your pruning to maintain natural form of plants is a passion of me. Would like to read more, Cindy

I live in an area with a prevailing wind always blowing from the north-west. When I use your two-stake method do I place the stakes parallel, in line with the wind, or perpendicular to the wind direction?

I just want a morning glory with an edible root like sweet potato. I wonder if anyone tried to cross them.

Extremely drought tolerant and best use is edible pine nuts. Definitely bad for paved areas.

For me I like this planet

The biggest negative for this species, and the reason it is nicknamed "semen tree" in the United States, is the infamous odor that flows from all those pretty white flowers. The musky pungent aroma, especially from a group planting of these trees, is so disagreeable to pedestrians and residents that at very high cost, cities have removed the mass plantings made decades before. Smell it in flower and judge for yourself whether you can tolerate their very unique fragrance BEFORE you plant one on your property.

Does the variegated type flower?

Can we grow close to sewer pipe?

This is a Chitalpa not a desert Willow. The desert Willow has very thin linear leaves. The fatter leaf is of Chitalpa which is a cross of chilopsis and Catalpa.
