I like how the interviewer obviously knows what she's talking about and is asking relevant and specific questions. It makes it really interesting for me to watch ^^ It's so much more than just "Omg, what a cute bush!" I've seen in other places on youtube, lol.

[@theurbanthirdhomestead]

Wow. These people really know their stuff. 🧐

[@TheEmmett02]

Thanks for your thoughtfulness and sharing our garden with your viewers. Your video was great and it is always interesting to see our garden through other people’s eyes. Scott

[@Headhunter_212]

AmaziNg stuff Scott and Allyson. Great to see you guys thriving. Sully

[@careyjohnston4176]

Scott i have been looking for Magnolia Macrophylla for 30 years and i am very interested in many of the other specimens that you have acquired and really want to purchase some of the Magnolia Macrophylla if possible and other plants . Thank you so much for keeping such wonderful plants alive for other generations. This is also a goal for me .. I want to share one of my favorite sayings to you because it explains alot about gardeners. ( Gardeners are the most patient people i have ever met , who else would wait for an acorn to grow into a tree)

[@halamomslife6947]

Here in the Philippines, the taro (stem and leaves) is dried, cut up in small pieces, then cooked in a stew of coconut milk, sliced ginger, shrimp or pork and spicy pepper. That is called laing.

[@NatashaAidinyantz]

Thank you!

[@hortusarboretum5016]

sounds great we will try that!

[@MartinaSchoppe]

is Taro coldhardy (Zone 7)? I always thought it was a tropical.

[@chenmy1204]

I feel like crying seeing all of their amazing plants and trees. Bringing back a lot of memories from my childhood. The Sichuan peppercorn, the lotus, persimmons and chestnuts, taros, those are very common plants in the area where I grew up. I used to climb the mulberry trees and pick the mulberries with my cousins in the summer, and my aunt would keep the silkworms feeding them with the mulberry leaves and harvest the silk from the silkworm pods. I'm surprised but glad to see that so many of their plants are thriving in New York as I'd always thought that those plants are not suitable to grow or fruit in the east cost north America as I've barely seen them here in US. It's amazing how plants can just bring us a sense of comfort and familiarity. I haven't been able to visit my family because of the pandemic, but this definitely helps. Thank you!

Food was always number one with indigenous and the poor,thanks giving being the founding example.

[@billastell3753]

Loved the video! My wife and I have been doing the same sort of thing for 38 years in central Ontario Canada on a 30 acre property. Our area is colder and dryer so our arboretum/garden is not nearly as lush and needless to say our variety options are much fewer. It is very inspiring to see others doing the same and it has given us some ideas for the coming season. Thank you! Thumbs up! Really looking forward to the continuation of this video.

[@andrewyang1446]

Planning to do the same in the Tamworth area. May I ask some of the crops you are growing?

[@billastell3753]

@@andrewyang1446 I've tried too many to list; plants, trees and bushes. The secret is to start planting and see what grows and feed the soil. Find a source of manure, leaves and wood chips for mulch.

[@nateanderson5289]

The kiwi-covered structure (starting at 39:46) is incredible!! Seems like it would be a great place to hang out on a hot day.

[@stellaiossifova1289]

As a Bulgarian, it was so wonderfully surprising to come upon a native rice specie ( and rice is not what we are known for😀). This nice couple made my day and I am truly captivated by their conservation-ship work.

Eastern European cooking is absolutely incredible! My best friend is romanian

[@Eirikgonzo]

Great tour! Here in Norway we freeze both Sorbus and Aronia berries before we use them, they actually get more sweet after freezing and we then make jams and other produce from them. Tradition is to pick them after frost, but the birds often get them before that. Just a little tip to help these berries being more palatable :)

[@charlesbale8376]

Absolutely love the running conversation between knowledgeable plant people.

Thank you for this fantastic tour. I pre-ordered the book, which I never do, because a.) I allready have lots of books of this topic, and b.) there ar so many just jumping to make money of the recent trend of "foodscaping", that are just pages and pages of BS. But Allyson and Scott clearly know their stuff, and I can't wait to get my hands on their book. Thanks again. Now, off to part two of the tour

I loved the tour...kind a doing something similar here in Pennsylvania zone 6. I planted 2 American Persimmons, 1 Persimmon 'Nikitas Gift', '3 pawpaws of different culivars, 1 melon berry tree, and 2 varieties of figs this past year. In 2022 I plan on experimenting with some hardy pomegranates and citrus.

[@marky3131]

Mixed feelings in these folks. I learned and confirmed something’s and enjoy their passion. That said it’s concerning to see so many trees brought in from Asia considering the many lessons we should have learned regarding the devastation to our forests from insects and diseases as well as seeing some known invasive trees. Glad to have watched it but just could not shake my concern over what native tree is going to get decimated next. Not intended to be a negative reflection on them as they seem really great. Perhaps just a timing thing given the wooly Adelgid I just found on one of my hemlocks.

[@grannyplants1764]

I can’t get over the variety of fruits and nuts growing there! If I had property I would have a notebook full of notes after seeing this. Looking forward to part 2 . Nice camerawork and closeups of the flowers and leaves too. Wonderful! 🌿🌱🌲🍇

[@ahavarichardson5426]

I'm doing exactly what you think! 1.6 acres, I have saved this video. I plan for a food forest with many of the same plants. I have many fruiting trees now, should be moving January 2022 here I come!

[@tisithomestead7971]

Very artistic and beneficial. Thank you for your contribution to making our world better. Much in nature is cyclical and climate is on an approximate seven year cycle; two to three years of severe weather dwindling down to extremely mild only to return back to the severe. There is so much scientists assume because of a narrow outlook. We must look at the whole picture and it is marvelous. If curious, check weather stats for the last hundred years, more if you can find data.

[@Farida-A.R.]

Amazing Information and best maintenance of plants. Thanks

[@Jokerkles]

I grew up with gooseberries, currants, etc., and we still have some, but now they're starting to die out, so I'm going to have to do some serious pruning and clearing to get them going again (and buy a bunch of new plants, too). The green gooseberries make the best jam, especially for making sandwich cookies with molasses cookies. And the black raspberries are our absolute favorite, too. I'm fully intending on rooting some new plants off our old canes this year to try to expand our black raspberry bed.

[@Banano91f]

Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@jrdnnss]

i love this video so much

[@tatymschneider6681]

Fantastic tour through this garden. I learned so many new things! Can't wait to see what all is in part 2! I can recommend a cold hardy fruit that I have grown for years, it's Alpine Strawberries. They can easily be grown from self-collected or bought seeds, shared with friends, plants don't runner but stay in neat mounds, low maintenance, hardy down to zone 3 and produce within the first year (although in later years harvest will be much larger). Berries are small but bursting with sweetness and flavor. It's a favorite of mine!

[@hortusarboretum5016]

Thanks for the kind words. We did grow Alpine Strawberries years ago, and we will definitely grow them again. Thanks for the 'reminder'. Please visit our website to learn even more, Hortusgardens.org to sign up for our newsletters.

[@mountainfigsperennialfruits]

Given the leaf shape, evident 35:30 to 36:05, the fig bush seems likely to be "Hardy Chicago" or virtual synonym ("Mt Etna," "Black Marseilles," "Dark Portuguese," etc.) rather than "Brown Turkey." Significant difference in fruit flavor, color, ripening time and ability, and some difference in hardiness.

[@michikoikeda2067]

Make pickled myoga ginger in vinegar. And also chopped myoga, eggplant , shiso and scallion season with soy sauce as summer salad. We eat those in northern Japan... they are delicious!

[@DougNance]

Your Honeyberry is an older far less sweet variety. Plant an Aurora or Blue Banana variety next to it and you will see how good they can actually be.

[@majordelilah]

This is what I want to do with my land. I’m doing research as to how I want to start cultivating my property into a more native haven

[@SSDD_NYC]

Way before I knew you were a part of a crew living my dream in the area I explored buying land from... I passed a good few beach plum trees in Queens and was like "Huh! This is weird. I've never seen so many of them fruiting here in NYC." I even got a homeowner who had never eaten them to try them. I spent a solid 20 minutes with her and made a friend out of it... then came back at least two more times while on a walk to have a snack and chat with her. This aboretum is just... wow. I had no idea they were around but now I'm about to buy their book. I visit upstate often and would love to walk around just to get lost on a day I have to myself.

[@dagmarcirlan440]

Absolutely amazing! 🌿💚🌿

[@ek1529]

Interesting with the gooseberries, also one of my favorite fruits but the green ones! Growing up in Denmark this is what we used for jam, preserves and "fruit porridge" - an old fashioned dessert eaten with cold milk (can also be preparred from the juice from other currants or apples or strawberries).

[@danajanis5750]

Wonderful content

[@suburbanhomestead]

I remember araucarias in southern Brazil. Are they really that hardy?

[@nothingmuch2023]

Thanks for another excellent video! I challenge another viewer (with more time on their hands) to add each plant and the time stamp for when they're shown. Would be awesome to have that accessible, until the book drops. And I love having Chinese mahogany in scrambled eggs, or just eating it while hanging in the garden... one of my favorites!

[@jeil5676]

The poppy looks like "Laurens Grape". I was looking up the variety just the other day.

Mountain ash is bitter until frost. It only becomes edible after the frost hits it and then the berries turn sweet

[@jamesalanstephensmith7930]

In Taiwan they often bag fruits, like the Asian pear to protect the fruit. The bag breaths, and the fruit stay dry,so no rot. They train them on a network of pipe at roughly head height for tending and harvesting, as well.

[@zaxxon4]

For about two years of my early childhood I lived at a home that had previously belonged to a horticulturalist, and it became the source of my love of plants. While I hope their garden lasts past their lifespan, Google street view shows that my former home is missing all of the great plants that would be visible from the road. It just takes one caretaker who doesn't actually care about the plants, or who prefers to cut it all down for a bigger lawn.

one of my fave cold soups is the Hungarian gooseberry soup. Anyone who loves yogurt would love it...same for tart cherry or apricot soups.

[@tariqidrissi1563]

Great episode! My favorite "wild" food plant is Maianthemum stellatum, or false Solomon's seal. The ripe berries are absolutely delicious and taste exactly like molasses. The related Maianthemum racemosum apparently tastes the same, but I haven't grown that one.

[@hortusarboretum5016]

We love that food plant as well, but Spikenard is probably one of our fave wild berries.

I really, really enjoyed this tour! That Magnolia macrophylla was my absolute, #1 favorite, with Snowflake viburnum and Jumpseed tied for close 2nd. Plus, I'm very interested in those little kiwis. Never seen them before. Only hip to what the grocery store has. Thank you!

Was excited when they started talking about Toona. I just bought myself one of these...a small baby it is now. Can't wait to jazz up my eggs. Probably something that hasn't been mentioned yet that I have been excited about is the Bladdernut tree...Staphylea trifolia - supposed to have pistachio like nuts and be cold hardy. Just bought myself this from the Edulis nursery and can't wait to see how it goes.

I just got a black raspberry plant last year. Very much looking forward to tasting some this summer, and propagating it. Like most people here in the uk, Im more familiar with the red ones, which are native, but delighted to discover there are black ones too.

[@justinciallella4724]

The only thing about goumi vs autumn olive is the ease of harvest. Goumi doesn't really have large clusters of fruit, like the autumn olive. Autumn olive is invasive here, so I cut the branches that are loaded with fruit, and then strip them into a tub.

[@jeremybyington]

I’m looking forward to the 2nd video. I wonder if they’ve got any Muntingia calabura growing. I had a few berries ripen up just before a cold snap here in STL and wowza they are good!
