Curved leaf ligustrum does NOT do well in the south if we have a freeze at all. I planted 43 of them along my fence line and lost them all durring a 3 day winter freeze in Tennessee.

[@bmcdonald7303]

Oh nooo. 😮😢

[@PM_Nunya_Bidness]

I'm here because my entire hedge of Ligustrum was wiped out by the Great Winter Storm of 2021 we had in Texas. First a pandemic and then a freak storm...I'm keepin an eye on my first born!

[@reverimaldonado4063]

BEAUTIFUL TREES! LOOKS NICE AND HEALTHY! 🍎

[@SalongirlGardens]

I love ligustrums! I’ve found here in north texas they are drought tolerant, Med/fast growing and I do love the fragrant white flowers. Thx for the vid!!!

[@JimPutnam]

They are about the easiest of all of these.

[@obstinateblueberry7216]

Ligustrum (we have swift creek) are insanely fast growing and heat/sun tolerant! It's one of the few plants we have that has to be cut back EVERY year. The best part is they don't even care! They just come right back the next spring!

[@realestateunplugged6129]

I always heard negative remarks from neighbors and family gardeners until I got my hands on them PERSONALY, now I consider them my favorite plant!

[@itsmekristy]

During coronavirus when I can't spend all day popping in and out of nurseries, your videos are the best! Thank you for these long list of shrubs and plants! It really helps me window shop and save my sanity.

[@databang]

Thanks for a good selection of plants to consider.

[@laurabarber6697]

What do you suggest for Next to a cottage stone wall 6 Stone high? I dont want the root to disrupt the stability of the wall. Thank you for any suggestions. Tampa, Florida is the location💝😎💝

[@MM-vb9ze]

Thanks so much Jim. ...best YT channel for us NE Arkansas Gardeners :)

[@JimPutnam]

Thank you for that!

[@vencent8329]

this is the type of video im looking for good information 👌👌👌

[@marthamydear7499]

Excellent! Learned a lot. Love seeing these beauties.

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching

[@vickebm]

Hey Jim, Do you have any suggestion of a tall but narrow screening tree to go between a north facing wood line and a driveway? This area has about 4 ft of planting room width and is a strip about 90ft long. I live in zone 8B in south Alabama. I recently planted some Emerald Green Arborvitae to put there but after watching several of your videos I am realizing that I may have made a costly mistake due to the area I live in. I want something that isn't going to take over my driveway and require cutting back every year. Thanks

[@ferdinando7719]

Thank you for the video I have been watching all of them in desperate need for fastest growing evergreen hedge like plant that can grow relatively decently in 4 hours of sun that will keep its leaves during winter. So much to consider to make the best decision and your videos the last year I been watching have been very helpful thank you still have not decided 🤣

[@danareid7268]

Any tips for zone 5?

[@tarad7294]

How fast do the Romeo clyera grow? I have the bronze beauty and it grows fast. I’m interested in Romeo’s for privacy? Thanks

[@jessicawery3939]

nice list, but it would be helpful to know the light conditions, and mature sizes.

[@mylovelycrazylife]

This series is awesome! The camelias here in NC are so beautiful. Would you be able to mention if any of these screening plants are/aren't a good choice for hurricane prone areas? We have a 1/2 acre here in Rocky Point (outside of Wilmington) and are planning to put up some screening plants, but also want to be cognizant of things that might easily blow over. Thank you! :)

[@lexiemaep7930]

Can you mention how much they cost as well? I want to see prices before I buy

[@mariansimon5293]

I live 91607, I planted wax leaf privet & 3 out of the 15 plants have died & replanted twice. Also I have a wooden trellis on south side in mostly shade. I have planted creeping ficus but it is not filling in after 3 years. Any suggestions?

[@valchris11]

I have the holly that is so prickly and its rather slow growing. It tends to get scales from late Sept to Dec. I wished I knew about your channel before I bought them.

[@kathrynluciana3100]

are the berries on the holly poisonous?

[@georgelowellohhdgg63nnd96]

Jim - what are some fast growing evergreen vines that can be used for privacy (fence) in zone 7-8? Thanks.

[@popcornandpeanuts6243]

Great vid Jim but I live in one 5 too cold for these plants

[@greatgardensforall]

I have been looking for Nellie Stevens subs, thank you so much! Robin and Oakland look so good, must try :)

[@dbueter]

I love your channel too!

[@gingermilsap7157]

Jim, I would love to buy plants from you. Do you ship as far as Tennessee? Is it even prudent to do so? How do we contact you? We love your channel, extremely helpful.

[@joecunningham1154]

What screening plants would you recommend for Galax VA. Need to be deer proof and upto 15' tall

[@billcrow5403]

I need ideas for wind breaks. I live in Oklahoma and it has been terrible this year.

[@michaeljonesdougherty.209]

Thankyou! Jim very good selection 💚 for plant screens .i have a sh×! Whole of a house next to mine .i use a lot of diffrent ideals to get ried of the eye sore 🤤.

[@junesmart7352]

Need advice for which evergreen screening shrubs might tolerate juglones. I recently learned the hickory produces some juglones, and I have been trying to grow various shrubs near it (3 different ones so far), but they tend to die within 6-8 weeks. This is over a 3 year period, with various seasonal conditions. Does the hickory actually produce enough juglones to be causing this? My shrub successes are so good in other parts of my woodland gardens. Please advise. Thanks again.

[@ralphramirez3671]

Looking for some that grows About 3 ft wide

[@tomnatortomnator883]

Deer resistant?

[@YSLRD]

Thx so much. I saved this one as a reference. It would be great if you could mention flood tolerance. Southeast MO near the AR line and we often get waterlogged. The only really dry time is late summer.

[@barbarawall6349]

How tall an wide do the copper top viburnum grow?

[@MM-jq4pb]

At maturity, it reaches 8 ft. tall to 10 ft. tall and 5 ft. W to 6 ft. W.

[@Frank020]

Zone 9b tree. for old dude doesn't want to pay for trimmers so 30ish ft small 1/2 yard shade tree to shade 1 story from heat.? TY. Just plant and never have to trim. Low maintenance drought tolerant non dangerous roots.

[@michaelvode2273]

[@JimPutnam]

The country and the world actually are divided into horticultural zones based on low temperature. Easy to find yours on google

[@TrimJazz]

[@JimPutnam]
