Deer are crazy to contend with. This year they have eaten a clethra and a sunshine ligustrum in my yard, but just down the road is a row of arborvitae that are untouched. Beautiful creatures, but always hungry!

Love that merging of the marsh and the landscaping. I have such tree envy, too. Live oaks are so amazing, especially when they get some age on them. Have fun on Tybee Island! I need to get back there soon.

Live oaks are amazing trees often living hundreds of years. Children love to climb on them in City Park in New Orleans.

As a coastal gardener on a similar barrier island, deer very much dictate what can be planted. Unfortunate reality is that many ornamentals can not be used because deer will ravish. Not mentioned but did notice some split leafs which are excellent choices for the rear shade garden. Beautiful property!

This is a beautiful place. I am so envious of the live oaks, and the ajuga there is spectacular. I too prefer the vitex over crepe myrtle. Our crepe myrtles here in OKC have a white scale that is really ugly. I plan to replace all of ours next year.

Loved watching this.. that landscape with the live oaks is a dream. I just love the landscape down there. Red buckeyes are great trees; ours used to defoliate early in the Oklahoma summer heat and was happiest in cooler, wetter springs.

If you live in the coastal southeast gators are a way of life. Besides the landscape we've had them in our garden water feature, walkways and even garage. While generally very territorial they do move around at times!

Raised gardens need more water . Because sides allow for evaporation of water faster. Plant in ground improve soil.
@JimPutnam2 жыл бұрын
I agree with you, but some people are older and can't bend down or they have very rocky soil or some sort of soil issue that may have a leftover from poor farming practices. I'm all about building soil, but there are times it makes sense. Thanks for watching.

I don’t think European fan palm would be considered reliably cold hardy long term in a southern zone 7b. May get lucky in a good microclimate through a few mild winters but eventually a bad winter would take it out. I’ve never had them last below 15f but one in town made it for a few years. A dry climate 7b which they prefer is very different from our wet cold 7b here in the south which is what gets them. You never really see long term mature European fan palms outside zone 8b here in the south. Our native palms are great alternatives as they are adapted to our wet cold winters. Dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor) is native as far north/inland as zone 7b areas here in Mississippi, Alabama, and other southern states. They are reliably cold hardy long term in 7b and I know people who grow them in zone6 up north. Needle palm is another good native palm for 7b and along with dwarf palmetto considered the most cold tolerant in the world however needle palms aren’t fully cold hardy until mature. Saw palmetto is cold hardy in 7b but needs very well draining sandy soils here. Sabal palmetto a large trunking native species is also cold hardy down to 7b but may take damage to leaves if temps dip below teens. I grow all of these native palms here in NE MS 7b/8a. There are quite a few more species native and non native and different varieties or eco types of Sabal palms we can grow in 7b too. Great videos! Love the channel. Wish you would do a native/cold hardy palm video lol.

The savannah botanic garden is pretty small. The best thing to see in Savannah is all the squares and go into the neighborhoods and see the little hidden gardens where you can.

In a rich neighborhood like that, I’m surprised they don’t take steps to control the deer population. When they are overpopulated they do a lot of damage to the environment.
