Mark is so knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge with the public. Great asset for the State of North Carolina!

[@kaylac3367]

OK, wow! This was great! Mark did a really good job of telling us lots of information about each plant. I like that! You can tell he enjoys his job. The gardens look not only beautiful but very peaceful! Good job to the person filming.

[@RevAcres01]

This was great what a gem. Mark did an excellent job describing plants added it to my visiting bucket list.

[@jenniferhooks2454]

Excellent video! Mark is a great tour guide. He was so easy to listen to as he described the plants. I can’t wait to see his home garden. Theses videos with the various plant experts are wonderful; please keep doing them.

[@AleksandraDeegan]

Great series and wonderful guest. Thanks Jim!

[@maggiecudic2744]

I have daphne Rebecca! She has never disappointed! She has been in a container for 15 years! Thank you, visited the arboretum so many times when my kids were in Raleigh for jobs or school. Was alway a great inspiration!

[@tarawatterson4188]

💚 popping over to JC Raulston Arboretum at lunch for some peace and also discovery. Such a special piece of Raleigh!

[@steverdms]

Great stuff. He's well-spoken and clearly still has a love affair with plants.

[@jeanniecollier6763]

This was great. I have never been there but I will make it one of my favorite places to go now.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Jim, after watching this video, if I'm traveling through that area, I will definitely stop at the JC Raulston Arboretum! I love Botanic gardens and Arboretums when I find myself in an area that has one. It's worth spending an extra day or two to check them out! I'm really enjoying your garden tour videos, thank you. ~Margie

[@dawnb7457]

Wow, I’ve never seen a Crape Myrtle that big...impressed!

[@LinusCello75]

The JC Raulston YT channel is great.

[@cramersbackyard9634]

Been a member for very many years! Wonderful place! And Mark is a really fine person too!

[@canuckviolet3322]

You guys make a great duo! Looking forward to the one in Mark's yard too!

[@happysfamilywnc]

That Crape Myrtle is stunning! One of my favorite it’s a shame a lot of guys hack the tops off of the because they were planted in the wrong spot. Or they don’t know proper pruning of a Crape Myrtle.

[@katiekane5247]

I cry for the mutilated! As bad as sheared-into-balls Azaleas!

[@triplehhomestead448]

That crape myrtle is my phone wallpaper. If you get the chance, go see it in person. Highly recommended!!

[@incremental42]

@@triplehhomestead448 I drove down there from VA about 10 years ago specifically to see that tree and bring one back. I ended up moving from that house so I'll never get to see the one I planted fully grown but I sometimes wonder what it looks like now.

[@alizacooper2937]

Love this walkthrough! I'd love to visit some day!

[@samanthamarrs75]

We spent hours wandering the garden in July there - love love the Japanese maples there! Thank you for this wonderful interview with Mark - you could do 5 plants a time over and over!

[@GardenKath]

Plant people are just the best people. What a great and entertaining interview! If I had it to do over again, I’d definitely take the path Mark did.

[@greenrockgarden2851]

Loved this! I am in Raleigh several times per year, but I never venture far from my hotel room. I will definitely visit. As always, thank you for sharing.

[@jilladcock5648]

Adding to my list of places to visit when in NC. Thanks!

[@dannac_8888]

Ok Jim, I am kindly asking to do a JCR Part Deux since there's so much to see and once we catch a glimpse we're ready for a road trip once it warms up a tad!

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

My gosh Jim, that is THE biggest crepe myrtle tree I have ever seen in my life. Stunning photo too of when it is in bloom. Amazing. Great vid. :)

[@ryanharvey1098]

Wow, what an amazing garden and a great host! I’d love to visit someday if I’m in the area. Awesome video Jim!

[@dwohio8283]

What an amazing place. I may need to visit sometime. Thank you!

[@SheriShea1]

Wow that Crape Myrtle is spectacular 🌳

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

19:57 look at the praying mantis! & great tour gentlemen!

[@katherinecornette5315]

Hey! I was there 2 weekends ago. Always amazing!

[@happysfamilywnc]

Nice vid! We have a really nice arboretum in Asheville NC

[@sandramulchahey8268]

I was born in Asheville, my grandparents had a home close to where the arboretum is now, it's a beautiful area.

[@crystalchunn6925]

Love Mark & the arboretum! Wish we lived closer, I’d be there every week. We actually made a trip there for our anniversary weekend this past spring. So many interesting plants!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Amazing plants and so many ideas for next year in my garden 💕 thank you Jim for sharing 💕

[@triplehhomestead448]

We went a few months ago. Absolutely breathtaking!!!

[@meredith3588]

That was great, really enjoyed the tour. I will have to visit. Looking forward to seeing Mark's landscape.

[@beckyscheller9358]

So wish I lived close to this love their u tube videos also thanks for showing

[@johnnyutah1053]

Botanical gardens he worked at is about 20 min from my house. It’s a really cool place to visit

[@mikerobson6797]

Thanks for this video, Jim and Mark!

[@npsinboro]

Mark was super entertaining and interesting, he should do a KZbin channel for the Arboretum if he's not already! I laughed when he talked about the upside to a plant just up and dying quickly. My gardenias do that, as have some hydrangea! :) Cool to hear about plant breeding and to get some background on the indian names for Crepe's, I think you brought that up in a recent video as to "why they have this name!?" -- now we know!

[@kathyhornbuckle4966]

JCRA has a KZbin channel you should follow. Great presentations!

[@MyPlantWorld]

amazing plants collection

[@empresskimberly4410]

Really enjoyed this. Thanks Jim!

[@shoetoe4311]

Excellent video. Very informative.

[@katiekane5247]

OMG, have been growing that Fuschia for 2 years in N. Georgia. This years container combines with cascading blue Torenia & Caladiums. I brought it inside last winter. Would love a reliable source for this plant. Another great vid!

[@markweathington2673]

Plant Delights Nursery sells it I believe.

[@judycarter587]

Great video!

[@laurasuitter2442]

Great video! Love JC Raulston! I have Tonto Crepe Myrtles and didn’t realize it was related to the one in the garden at JC Raulston. It’s a spectacular tree! Nice to know I have a piece of its legacy.

[@cece_marie]

What a fantastic interview! I haven't visited this garden yet, but I think it deserves a weekend getaway for sure. Jim, thanks as always for bringing these new voices to your audience! Mark, I'm in the Charlotte area now but am from the rural Piedmont of VA as well (west of Richmond, though) It is a similar gardening experience here, but with extra things I can grow (and only a few things missing, like my great-grandmother's lilac which only gets 5 blooms a year in my yard). I also really appreciate how you said that bracts were, effectively, flowers. I'm as nerdy and scientific-naming as they come, but I agree that they "read" as flowers. I think we only welcome people into this lovely obsession/hobby by being fluid with the terminology! Oh, and we lived at FLSP for a few years and took my then infant daughter to Norfolk Botanical Garden at least once at week, especially loved the native marsh walk area. It is my first crush botanical garden.

[@denko44]

Bless your heart jim! Finally a good quality video @ JCR.

[@denko44]

I clarified my insta comment lol

[@annebeck2208]

Jim...get the fuchsia.....hummmmingbirds!!!!!

[@sandramulchahey8268]

Nice place for a road trip.

[@katieking6845]

He's cool

[@emilyortiz670]

Hermosas Magnolias 🤩

[@siamesepleaseme7468]

Could you do a video in the different seasons to show the changes and maybe what the daphne looks like in bloom. I have always wanted and would love to smell it in winter.

[@JimPutnam]

I have several Daphne videos on the channel. You can search Horttube and daphne to find them

[@siamesepleaseme7468]

@@JimPutnam thanks! I have always wanted to go to our local arboretum at JMU, HARRISONBURG, VA, which is Edith J Carrier Arboretum, and your video is prompting me to go soon. I love stopping at them and botanical gardens as well. Thanks for your videos!

[@marciagrant6687]

I’m shopping for the fuchsia and musella lasiocarpa!

[@temichel]

I have been enjoying this format of video on your channel. Is there a place they they sell their plants. I loved the Fatsia Polycarpa Jade Dragon and the Japanese Myrtle!

[@olsonlr]

That's the info I want. What will survive for me~!!!!!

[@Kate98755]

QUESTION: i'm in Meridian Id, 7a, it's going to be in the 30's next week, will that be too late to plant Clematis? also, been researching Clematis, what do you think is the best clematis for 7a, to be onna trellis? i love your videos, been so helpful, hope to hear from you...thanks

[@dorindajenkins7825]

👋😃

[@jamesring5383]

where can i buy Daphne odora?

[@mollycottontail]

Was that a mantis on the yellow banana bloom?

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, it was

[@newarkgardener6187]

How do one get rid of powdery mildew, from the crepe myrtles?

[@JimPutnam]

No real way to get rid of it permanently. Best to use resistant varieties.

[@npsinboro]

I've had some improvement by selectively trimming and forming the tree to increase airflow and sunlight throughout. Crepe's if left alone can get pretty bushy/intertwined and if you can open up the canopy it might help.

[@newarkgardener6187]

@@npsinboro thank you so much. This is the first year I've had it, and my tree is about 10 years old.

[@olsonlr]

Do they sell those plants there?

[@JimPutnam]

They do have plants during the year

Did you see that huge insect on the flower of that banana plant? Yikes...what was it?

I was waiting for someone to point out the praying mantis

[@suzannebartow6390]

@@JimPutnam Our praying mantis up here in the Pacific Northwest are light green, your brown one threw me. Nice that you have them in a garden.
