Jason's Planting His Favorite Tree: Little Gem Magnolia!

[@marialicemorgan19]

Monty supervising every step Jason takes. Making sure it meets Janey’s standards 😂

[@joycerichardson1810]

Supervisor Monty on the job! Reports back to Mum later in the day!

[@odemonet]

I just cannot get over how much you and Janey have accomplished in such a short amount of time. It’s incredible and so beautiful. Great video Jason.

[@kimgurley472]

Wow.... watching the progress on planting the magnolia! It truly shows how difficult the soil is on your property! Rock hard when it's dry and a heavy, mucky mess when it's wet. Everything you're doing with compost will make a huge difference! Well done!! I'm an experienced gardener, but I'm learning so much by watching your videos! Thank you!

[@andreaa8057]

It’s so nice to see a couple sharing the same passion for planting and making your property beautiful! I put my yard waste right on the ground in the way back of my property to decompose. You can even dig a big hole and keep filling it up and then bury it. It will improve your soil.

[@dannettesavas3269]

Y’all have to remember that Jason is the perfectionist Jason you doing an awesome job. You just have the most joyous smile. Janie is a very lucky young lady.

[@joycerichardson1810]

She is! He's a treasure!

[@donnaalpert]

We’re in Sacramento. Planted a Little Gem 2 years ago and it’s now 20’ tall. The flowers smell amazing! There are many in our neighborhood. They do well here. Good choice!

[@taragoodloe4122]

What a beautiful tree Jason! I can see why you and Janey were drawn to it. Always enjoy your spin on your and Janey's gardening journey.😊

[@marybethgardener111]

Great job Jason! You're becoming a natural at this!!

[@grisespino5342]

It’s awesome how quickly you’re picking up gardening. Great day in the garden.

[@leeleblanc6933]

Perfect!!! That tree placement is awesome. Jason, your love of gardening is showing through, good job. Wish I was your neighbor to hang over the fence & watch you guys at work, but then I wouldn't get anything done on my side.......lol.....so I am content to watch your vids each a.m. & get the inspo. I need to get in my garden.

[@smiley2477]

I agree it will stand out and it’s one of my favorites. I d say magnolia, crepe Myrtle’s, willow and deodar cedar tree are my favorite looking trees.

[@genevievehoward-lanier8596]

I have 8 little gems, SOUTH GEORGIA PEACH 🍑

[@peggy-ann1961]

This area is so exciting to watch being developed! Thanks Jason, it’s always nice to see you! Zone 3 Manitoba 🇨🇦👏🍁

[@JRP58]

Jason is turning into a true gardener. The magnolia will be gorgeous in that spot.

[@ShayColt]

Here in South Carolina, that magnolia is a staple in many landscapes. I agree, a beautiful magnificent tree.

[@lindathompson8100]

Great job Jason, that compost is goings to make such a good Improvement. Looking forward to you and Janie putting all those new plants in. LOVE the Magnolia.

[@peggyfrommanitoba7310]

The magnolia tree looks marvellous! Terrific selection Jason!! 😀🇨🇦

[@samanthalonghurst-howes1465]

Brilliant video Jason! Love your energy! The magnolia is going to look beautiful there. Xxx

[@susandenniscook9271]

Looks great Jason! As a southern gardener here in Georgia, just thought I’d throw in my 2 cents about southern Magnolias…they are lovely trees with wonderfully fragrant flowers for sure. Some people make the mistake of limping them up as they get larger to free up planting space below them. The reason this is not a good idea is because…not much can compete with the roots of the tree and also as the tree sheds those thick waxy leaves it creates a mess underneath. If you leave the natural shape and allow the branches to grow to the ground, creating a lovely graceful skirt, it hides the shedding leaves. Those leaves will make a natural mulch under the magnolia. Hope that makes sense. Magnolias are a native tree in my area and are everywhere here. Hurricane Helene is on its way to my garden right now, so I was unable to get outside in my garden today. 😂

[@katherineridings7937]

You are a nice guy, Jason. What a beautiful, hard working couple you both are! Love your place.

[@donnaterrell938]

Always nice to see Jason! Exciting to see new trees go in!

[@janetleach2421]

Great video Jason the tree will be beautiful there. Please don’t waste all the old plants they will make great compost and your soil needs all the help it can get. If your compost bins are full the old plants can be put in a pile at the side until the compost bin reduces down. Home made compost is black gold 😀

[@dianesgardeninspiration]

I’m so glad you chose a Magnolia tree! I too have one and I love that look and those blooms!!!! Great job Jason 👍

[@MAA-dt1yo]

Love a Jason video! Congratulations on getting out of healthcare!

[@maureenb1109]

Great job Jason, and to your sidekick and helper Monty haha, cannot wait to see you and Janey plant your new shrubs 😊🌼🌸🍁🍂

[@marybeth4002]

Nice work, Jason. I'm with you and Janey - I LOVE magnolia trees.

[@medinasod2013]

Great job Jason. The flowers you saved are beautiful. You and Janie make a great team and it's nice to have Monty and your children around to help you at times

[@Higginsangel]

Love Jason's videos. Love the tree planting. Can you guys show Robbie's willow tree soon. In the beginning it looked sad and wasn't growing up till you guys staked it differently. I've caught glimpses of it and looked like it was filling out nicely.

[@RC-mc6rc]

The compost in the long border looks so much better than the wood chips. The wood chips look dead. The dark compost brings life somehow to the area.

[@suzannestrauss9251]

I love Magnolias too! I had them in Maine and now in Florida! Its amazing how many zones they can live in! Good choice Jason! And great job. You really have the knack to fill in for Janie. Love watching the channel!

[@LindaBaker-l1b]

Jason, you are great in front of the camera! Wow, the magnolia looks fantastic where you placed it! Every single thing you and Janey are doing is making an enormously positive difference. Congrats on all of your very hard work and all of the tremendous amount of planning behind it!

[@karenwestby-gibson758]

Wonderful tree from the Magnolia State tree Mississippi!

[@karenwestby-gibson758]

Please don’t trim the bottom limbs. Y’all will love it as it blooms are so fragrant.

[@angelaoehlert4622]

Wow Jason, it looks great! The garden is really coming together and it’s so much easier to see the “final” result. The property looks so much happier too, being loved and cared for by you guys.

[@marianhintz9981]

Awesome job Jason!! Love seeing all the steps in the upgrades of the island!! It’s going to be beautiful when it’s done!!

[@jillbruce3624]

Great job Jason. You had an inspector with you at all times. Monty is so funny. Love the magnolia too.

[@debs-more-plants]

Love that tree! A man and his best friend in the garden together ! Monty such a good pup to hang with you!

[@AnEmmeni]

You did a great job Jason with that hard soil you had to work with.

[@ChristineWickstrom-sv4yl]

Awesome job Jason!! Really enjoyed watching!!🎉😂😅

[@donnasgarden6495]

Jason is "gem" too!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Would your neighbor with the goats appreciate your mound of plants for them to eat?

[@donnasantamaria8317]

Great idea!

[@kristie627]

Great pick on the tree Jason it’s one of my favorites if not the favorite!

[@carriefreund9037]

Your AWESOME Jason!!!

[@KP-gw5zv]

Good morning. Jason did a great job both videoing and explaining the steps in both clearing and planting. Yes, Jason when it comes to cleaning up an area and there are still pretty and beautiful flowers it is hard to pull how ever you did the right thing by putting them in a vase to enjoy. Awesome job. Enjoy the rest of the day.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Fantastic job Jason 🪴

[@nikkistewart6767]

Great job, Jason. Good to see you're loving the garden and you are an asset to this channel!

[@shelleyscarborough9171]

Yay Jason!!! I can't believe how much the property has changed in just a year!! WOW!!!

[@valautolady358]

Well done Jason. Looks geeat

[@lisakelly776]

Hi!!! Jason Great video 😊

[@dellablair5854]

I disliked our magnolia so we took it out . Don't forget to feed it ! Looks good

[@LitlPoot]

Yee Haw - this Southern Girl (N. Atlanta) loves a magnolia in a garden ... and this one has the perfect home with plenty of room to grow !!! I adore the lemony fragrance that fills the air when they are blooming. I know how hard it is to pull those plants/flowers - but wow, what a difference it makes - neat & tidy and, as you said, ready for the next season. Well done Jason !!!

[@salimorton641]

Jason you are gem! I have a totally different sandy soil here in Florida. We have have to enrich the soil. When I had a horse we used the the manure for the garden. If you ever run out check with your neighbors they may donate to your cause! Anyway, my whole neighbor is planted up with Little Gem Magnolias, Crepe Myrtles trees they go together so nice in the gardens and walk ways here. Those together will be so pretty in your garden.

[@tammycolvin2343]

Jason!! Come plant in my gardens!!!! super job!!!!!! I know your pain on pulling annuals! Sometimes I wish the annuals were perennials because I sometimes think they are prettier than some perennials!!😔😔😔😔😔😔

[@carmelitarhodes3372]

Good job Jason.

[@helenpecoraro9096]

Nice job Jason💕💕💕😊

[@nicoletihista7031]

Oh my gosh! Those shrubs are gorgeous and instant impact! It totally made up for taking all the flowers out! lol Good job on the video, Jason! And good job saving a bouquet for Janie! :)

[@terrycraven4848]

We love Jason!

[@annwoleben5439]

Your videos are always a lesson and a pleasure to watch.

[@tlcgarden2300]

Great job Jason! ❤T

[@denisewatson3038]

Well done Jason the Magnolia looks great ❤

[@KenIvywood]

Hopefully the magnolia can root in the hard soil. Thank you for sharing,nice job.

[@shereeralph3802]

Great placement of the magnolia - I was hoping it would get planted in the centre island! My grand mother had a magnolia grandiflora planted next to their tennis court - and it was one of my top 3 faves in her epic garden. (The other two were a Linden tree, and the ornamental cherries). 💛 I always enjoy Jason’s unique take on videos. Keep up the great work you guys! 😃

[@BrenIvelisse2795]

Jason, love how you stop to show us the gomphrenas, so we can appreciate their beauty. I live in Florida, we have lots of Magnolia Trees, which do great here with little care. Enjoy it. 😊

[@stefmcclure9386]

So nice to see you again, Jason! Great job on the video. Always enjoy seeing your videos, and I'm amazed at how many plant names you've learned . 😊

[@karenfarris4585]

Great job Jason and Monty!!👍👏😊

[@BarbaraJohnson-n3n]

Will good morning jason and monty I think I can officially say jason has caught the Gardening bug. Very nice job tree looks wonderful you are such a man for janey. As always monte is on the jobs scoping everything out for you.he probably thinks he has the greatest parents they like to dig too. Janey will be so surprised happy and thankful. Have a blessed day the Oklahoma gardener.😊

[@rhondafisher72]

Great job and a lot of work but you got her done. I love progress. Glad your weather is starting to cool down so we can see more of your vision. Thanks Jason.

[@kathyczech7876]

Magnolia tree is beautiful! Great job today Jason. You can tell ur getting more comfortable in front of camera.

[@christak1144]

Jason what a great video you produced, and that magnolia will be beautiful.

[@kisstine815]

Love a Jason video! Great job :)

[@teinahenderson4182]

Hi Jason and Janie! 😊 fun video. Lots of hard work. Love the little gem magnolia. That center island is going to be amazing

[@anaelechavez8358]

Jason , you did Great 😃👍🎉.

[@sheilahunt2183]

Yeah Jason! Good job!

[@jjjohnston545]

Happy for you Jason to get your favourite tree

[@melissaprescott374]

It is fun to watch your channel and garden evolve!

[@marciar8909]

Remember magnolias like cool roots so keep it mulched and allow the low branches to stay low. Also keep an eye on that hole it’s planted in. . It looks very clay-y and I killed a magnolia once because the roots drowned due to too much water retention. That is a beautiful specimen.

[@Tag4lyf3]

Beautiful work love it Jason !! We want to see you more, excellent ;we love you JENNY too!❤

[@AmyBlau-hh8fo]

The blooms and their fragrance override the leaf drop any day 😊

[@elizabethpoulter2736]

Good job Jason 😊

[@lisaborkowski1483]

Great job Jason!! That center island will be beautiful once it’s done but until then it’s nice watching all the different phases it’s going through to get to that:). You done good:):)

[@barbaramccann7944]

Gosh, when I see the issues with hard-pan soil, I’m so grateful for my loamy soil in north west Michigan.

[@gelinda2718]

Great Job Jason! Love the tree.

[@jeanniecarroll9119]

Awesome job, Jason !

[@stampinndahood]

It'll be gorgeous! Yes, Midtown and the Fab Forties in Sacramento are full of magnolias!

[@trishrobinson1523]

Thanks Jason!!! I am feeling your pain with the first auger attempt. I’m facing hard pan and rocks. 😢 shows how much we love our green space!!

[@33Chela]

Great job! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Kellie-z4i]

Looking good! Amazing progress. Don’t forget to pull the drip tape before the compost delivery!

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Well done Jason, fantastic vedio. Love the Magnolia Tree, Beautiful. Your a work horse.

[@MaryLynne2]

Oh my goodness Jason - that hardpan soil is killer - I completely sympathize with anyone having to deal with that problem! We have it throughout our yard (almost 2 acres) and have tried to dig in several spots to plant things, with no success - feels like we hit solid concrete less than an inch below the ‘grass’ (weeds) that grows in it! Guess we’ll have to get a couple truckloads of compost/topsoil/wood chips hauled in to ‘fix’ the problem! The Magnolia is gonna be beautiful - really looking forward to seeing your center island come together over time!

[@Lealelan]

I love watching all your progress. Great video Jason! AS you're working I'm watching the swaying of the willow tree! It's gotten so big! Loving it all!

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Good job dude!😊

[@annstuart-birdsall5581]

I just put a little gem magnolia in my new garden, they are not deciduous so leaf drop will be minimal. I also didn’t restake my tree, I was told by my landscaper that with the winds in my area the tree would snap, so better to leave the original stake on for a year.

[@paulacatoe6716]

Good job. I live in South Carolina. I have a 30 + ft. Magnolia in our front year. Smells amazing when in blooming. We use the leaves for decorating. You will love yours.

[@CarmenTorres-gf3sg]

Great job Jason 👏

[@staciejackson7497]

Great video.

[@rachellewoods8405]

Awesome job, Jason (& Monty for supervising!😂)! You are always such a joy to watch! Question, what are the specs on the Little Gem Magnolia? It’s so adorable and pretty!

[@Angel-wolfe]

Love a magnolia in the garden! It’s going ti be fun watching it grow. I think the flowers you loved dry beautifully! 😅

[@jeanbrewer576]

🍂Hi Jason, Awesome job! the Magnolia Tree is going to look great and the focal point when the Island is completely finished. Have a wonderful rest of the day. 🍁 🙂 👋

[@krisleonard1428]

That tree is beautiful! It will be stunning there! So exciting!❤❤❤ Great job Jason!
