Hi!
My name is Justin and I have my managed my family's business (S&K Greenhouse) for the last 10 years! It is a local garden center in Shelby, NC that my family started around 25 years ago.
We have a strong desire to discuss and teach gardening to the online community and welcome anyone who wants to learn. Though we have been involved in the plant world for decades we have found that there is always something to learn when it comes to gardening.
Whether you are a master gardener or just starting out this channel is for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos!

[@rosebrownstein3216]

you have become my favorite garden guy! Not only entertaining but you keep it concise but informative and so helpful to see the mature plant pictures. You give me everything I need to decide what plant is good for my space!

[@hammer86_]

I love conifers! And it was your video with Bruce that made me love them! I have big plans for my backyard.

[@patriciagrisham5938]

Justin, you have the BEST personality! Thanks for sharing such a terrific list of some of the most unique & beautiful evergreens & conifers!

[@WesleysPlantWorld]

Wow! More absolutely gorgeous evergreens. I can’t get enough of them, amazing 😃👍🏽🌳

[@lilyavery8230]

I gotta say...that cameraman and editor is spot on. ;) So professionally done, seriously. I don't always get your notifications - but happy to see this. Too bad y'all so far away...beautiful beautiful plants/trees/bushes. Umbrella pines are stunning.

[@iselinursery5169]

Thank you for such a great run down. I often get calls from people in the south inquiring about our plants and it is good to get a better idea of conifers that can thrive in your climate. Being in Oregon, it is a very different situation. Great video!

[@skgreenhouse]

Absolutely! Thank you for having beautiful product. You guys do an awesome job! 😁

[@giardinodialberi8751]

Yes, thank you Iseli for setting the standard for conifers and always having superb specimens available. I've been a conifer fanatic for decades and I can never get enough.

[@woohooliving8683]

love your conifer collection. hope u can start offering shipping soon.

[@Austin-zg5mo]

Amazing trees! Thank you for posting. Wish you guys were a little closer to us here in Virginia ha

[@persistentone3448]

You have a great eye for interesting conifers.

[@naturenoah13]

I never thought I'd love watching a video of a guy showing different me different plants.

[@charlottecannon5288]

They are beautiful!!! Happy to see Justin is feeling better!!

[@cnk3208]

I love how you love so many of these plants! Your enthusiasm is perfect!

[@johnnyutah1053]

I wish you shipped. I need that firefly!

[@markfitzsimmons2494]

love the conifers!

[@TKtd2022]

This is great. Love the enthusiasm. I’ve learned a lot about conifers watching your videos.

[@joanledford7856]

I saw about 10 conifers that I like. I’ve got to narrow that down to a few. Joan in Ft Mill, SC. 😃😃😃😃

[@skgreenhouse]

Hey Joan! Thanks for leaving a comment! Which one was your favorite?

[@AgendaInMind]

I love hinokis!! They look like blurry shrubs!

[@dianachavez6232]

You’ve opened my eyes to conifers! I love them.

[@ishajac3637]

I work at a perennial tree and shrub farm/nursery specializing in conifers and Japanese Maples and I've never seen that little Franky Boy. Holy cow it would look so good in my yard. I'm definitely showing it to my boss and begging them to get some in. Thanks AGAIN!!

[@gmhanmann]

It was great to meet you guys in person today! We will definitely be back to visit again!

[@skgreenhouse]

Thank you so much for stopping in! Come back anytime 😊

[@carolinab9451]

Great show once again!

[@Lisa-rv7oh]

Beautiful trees. Thanks for sharing. Great ideas.

[@sammysworld5485]

Hi Justin. Wow what a selection! Wish I was close to come visit. Not that I have the space in my small garden anyways. My fav was the Hinoki Cypress.

[@ashleylitebrite6971]

I’m zone 9a but thoroughly enjoy learning from you.

[@giardinodialberi8751]

Please see my two comments to Justin, from 10-06-23, for warmer zones.

[@lindsimmons]

I wish I had 1/10th of your energy! Big fan of evergreens and continue to fill my little plot with them. I live in zone 5b in Nova Scotia, one of the most easternmost provinces in Canada. I must confess, I'm a little envious of what you can grow, but it's plenty hot & humid here in the summer (high 80s) I'd melt like Frosty in South Carolina. You & Bruce are so inspiring! Keep up the youtubes ... I absolutely love them & learning more about conifers from the pair of you.

[@Checkthefineprint]

Looks like you got a nice shipment from Iseli.

[@maryandrews2265]

I love your videos and wish you were in our area. I’d go broke buying from you!!

[@blancaestela4197]

you love everything; Thanks a Bunch! I liked two because of my zone.

[@leslievasquez136]

Could you do a dwarf conifer? Thanks. Learned a lot in your videos

[@hilltopbrenda]

I love umbrella pines!!!!

[@pennylivingston148]

Your videos keep getting better and better! The Bruce tours and now this extensive conifer tour. Move over Jim Putnum and Jenny Simpson! You two are great but you're going to have some competition soon!

[@skgreenhouse]

Thank you for taking the time to leave a nice comment! I appreciate you tuning in, I'll try to keep them coming! 🙂

[@FLlife]

You make me want to love conifers! Another great video!

[@keithsmith4944]

Great selections. 😮

[@danielsimard5624]

So many nice creatures! Conifers. I have the Acrocona one since 12 years. Magnificient

[@beckyboopz1]

I live in Florida, zone 9b - will any of the conifers rated up to 8 survive our heat and humidity? I love love love all you’ve shown us!!

[@4447joao]

Glad to see you are carrying the Iseli Nursery product line. Your customers will be very happy. Superior product! In almost 30 years of buying their plants I have never had any problems with their plants...even after having to move some of them a couple of times. The conifers from E#$%^@ Nursery who is also out in Oregon that you have featured in previous videos are in my opinion not even close in quality to Iseli stock. Think it would be a good follow up video to interview the people from Iseli, and have them describe their production process. Its quite an impressive process. It's no wonder so many conifer lovers buy from them.😀

[@ThePoehladian]

Tempting me as usual.

[@tedramirez6304]

Excellent Video!!!

[@kurtschmidt5005]

Zone 8 in South Carolina, we wanna see more evergreens for zone 8

[@nikkiholton6318]

I sure wish I was close to your store. Do you ship ? 😊

[@RealALSK]

Not plants or Confier’s but T-Shirts and a few other items yes ❤

[@ladylyonteeth3952]

I love them all. ❤Wish you were closer to my area.

[@julesdavis1845]

I want them all.

[@jasonredd5549]

I love all your videos!

[@TonyTony-ji8kc]

How you care and what you feed your evergreen trees

[@jacobclements9601]

Really love your adjectives! BECOME A PLANT PERSON!!!!

[@bobwallace6812]

Jason, love your show/videos . Your energy level is thru the roof😊 Question, I have a drive way entrance that I need identify the opening so cars can safely turn in, I like the “DWARF ALBERTA SPRUCE, JEAN’S DILLY” What size container do I need to be able to plant this in so I can just leave it without any further transplanting. Again thank you for your shows. Bob

[@matthewhayes3142]

the weeping cedar you show at the start is commonly referred to as the green arrow, at least that's what we know it as here in the PNW!

[@kristydoran7474]

Love your videos and your great energy Justin! My husband and I get lots of great info from you. Off subject, could you tell me what boots you are wearing? We both need some new comfy yard/work boots. Thanks so much!

[@pc0086]

OMG!! I just want them all!! Thank you Justin for the introduction on those beauties. I live in Ohio zone 6a, do you ship?

[@BMWliterbikes4life]

Is the Joe Kozey umbrella pine Deer Resistant?? Thx

[@fville281]

I watched this video 3 times already. Do you ship conifers?

[@PS-lo4im]

Thanks very informative. I don’t think we have these cultivars in UK though.

[@RPM_Tech]

Are these grown in NC, or brought in from out of state?

[@billytingen3567]

Justin...Great video. How do you remember all those cool names of each tree? and....how does one choose which one to buy when you make them all so appealing. We start building our Forever home here in Kentucky next June and I get so excited about the possibilities that you present. I'm like a 67 year old kid in a Candy Shop. You really do a fantastic job presenting and explaining each three and how it grows and the soil type needed. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge with us. Cheers....

[@robintranchina6588]

I too love Justin’s enthusiasm; his excitement is contagious! We just moved into a new construction home (zone 8b, Foley, AL) Oct 2022; we are 67 & 74 years young. It’s been a exciting & frustrating at the same time; requires patience. Everyone needs a Justin in their area. Sending you positive vibes to get your house built and your landscape done; not that anyone is ever done where landscape is involved.

[@suselew]

No more Alberta Spruces. You cannot win the war with spider mites. Not worth it.

[@cajunlady4893]

Zone 9a near New Orleans. Hard to find conifer in my zone. What is the colorful leaves tree in the background at the end of your video? I am looking for plants that have colorful leaves in my garden

[@giardinodialberi8751]

Please see my two comments to Justin, from 10-06-23, for warmer zones.

[@davidscales1464]

Are there any evergreens( similar to arborvitae) that will do well in damp soil?

[@StephFlowers164]

Considering the heavy clay soil in your area, can you let us know what kind of maintenance it takes to have successful conifers such as your thunderhead and the ones surrounding your business sign?

[@larryaugust8205]

What about Hollywood juniper’s?

[@GardenDiscovery]

I have such a problem with spiders and spider mites in the evergreen/ conifers. What do you do to treat them and prevent that?

[@jennetteojeda5792]

💙👍🏻💙

[@robintranchina6588]

Justin, do conifer roots harm home foundations or sidewalks? I have a small lot in zone 8b, Foley, AL. I’d love to have conifers and/or evergreens, but I’m only on a 50’ wide x 120’ long lot. My back yard is 20’ deep by 50’ wide. Can you recommend a few? I then need to see if I can find them in my area. I love your videos, especially the ones you do with Bruce.

[@SouloOnTheBeat]

Lets goooo!

[@belindaayewoh437]

Hey, where's the video on blush pink nandina's? They would be great since they are changing colors now.

[@debs-more-plants]

Great shrubs/trees but what no flips today?

[@silviabells7800]

Hi Justin! What can you tell me about a blue spruce called Fat Albert? Would you recommend? I'm in Zone 5. Btw, I always enjoy your videos!

[@Eshamichelle]

Hello! I would like to know if S&K ships to Georgia? The Atlanta area.

[@SouloOnTheBeat]

Are there any picea pungens that can survive in shade?

[@davidscales1464]

What is a ballpark price for a 5 gal Skyland spruce?

[@davidscales1464]

Do you sell to the public?

[@skgreenhouse]

Sure do!

[@Tami24945]

I would like to buy a Sester’s Blue Spruce. Do you ship? I live in the Greenville/Spartanburg area. If you don’t ship. I will come get it!

[@skgreenhouse]

Hey there! Unfortunately, we are not shipping at the moment. Send us an email at [e-mail] if you'd to discuss pickup arrangements. 🙂

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

I thought Colorado Blue Spruce were not good in the south?

[@jennetteojeda138]

💙🪴👍🏻🪴💙

[@michaelpetty77]

What kind of hat are you wearing?

[@ishajac3637]

I work at a perennial tree and shrub farm/nursery specializing in conifers and Japanese Maples and I've never seen that little Franky Boy. Holy cow it would look so good in my yard. I'm definitely showing it to my boss and begging them to get some in. Thanks AGAIN!!
