Japanese maple??? Conheço no vi. Americana tree diferente.. Brasil no tem . Nada 😢

[@sandistolle4874]

Love the height the Emporer brings. 👍 RIP Gatsby Gal. Thanks for the memories

[@j.c.linden]

You might want to also point out that not ALL "burlap" looking fabrics around trees ARE natural burlap. They are instead a woven plastic material and that stuff NEEDS to be removed. Also point out that leaving the burlap on does not mean leave it around the trunk and sticking up out of the ground.

[@gretchenkaszuba734]

I recently went to a nursery and saw a Red Bud Tree called Flame Thrower. It is gorgeous. It's autumn tone leaves of red and green, and chartreuse is spectacular. It maintains these colors in season! Total show stopper. Have you seen one?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I have! They are gorgeous trees!

[@connieragle5612]

Mr. Emperor looks great in that spot! Great choice❤

[@susieque933]

The emperor is beautiful in that spot! I love it’s structure 💕

[@juliabinford6500]

Gorgeous Japanese maple! It’s so good that you are using sun protective clothing and not just sunscreen. You must be so keyed up since it’s only two days from the Signature experience:)

[@oakhillhomesteader]

Your side profile in your sun hat reminds me of Holly Hobby 😁

[@hollyw.]

Thanks for sharing this video Jenny. It shows that everyone’s garden can have a plant or plants that die out. This summer so far, I had to replace some plants. It does open the door to see what other flowers/shrubs are out there. Love your videos! Keep up the fantastic work ❤

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

As I've always said, if you garden long enough (usually doesn't take too long 😉) then you're going to loose plants. While discouraging, it also opens doors to new plants to add to the garden!

[@cece_marie]

The emperor looks great there, I like the color of it...still sad to lose the namesake of the bed. ❤ Thx for the sun protection reminder, so important for people who regularly spend time outside!

[@lebarivall8723]

We are seeing our beautiful roses go under, not from heat or lack of water, but from an invasion of Lanternfly nymphs. A few flies were seen for the first time in our zone 7/8 area last year. If you thought that Japanese Beetles were bad, you haven't experienced the Lanternfly. I saw a few on our hydrangeas yesterday, too.

[@Gin0827]

Japanese beetles are heavy this year. They ruin the fragrance, the bloom and the beautiful experience of gardening.

[@sdub6218]

I have been fighting lantern flies for the last couple years. Made me crazy! What I have done is remove and squish what I can. Any trees I used catch master tape to go around each tree. Catching them before they mature is key. Once adults they lay eggs and it’s almost impossible to kill with any spray. 😊

[@lisag6796]

Sorry to hear you're suffering with this invasive insect. Ohio has be on the lookout for it.

[@giniemitchell4913]

Just noticed them here in Md for the first time. The birds seem to be very busy this year.

[@heatherk2693]

The first US spotting was in the PA county adjacent from me. The majority of the lanternflies have migrated in the past years.

[@janabney2765]

Thanks for the tip for finding Emperor one from Mr. Maple. Just got my order in and on top of it all they are having a flash sale! Y'all are the best.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

That’s awesome!!!!

[@lindathompson8100]

Great choice JENNY that tree is going to look stunning.

[@carolnelsongerontologist]

That tree is just gorgeous!!!

[@kbell8889]

Such a beautiful replacement! Have a wonderful time this wknd with your event.💚

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you so much!

[@pamelacook7933]

I’m in South Carolina not too far from you and my oldest oak leaf hydrangea has done the same thing. No clue. It’s thrived for years. More than half of it has just up and died.

[@cockatielnation5425]

Me too in Tennessee!

[@fromseedtobloommedia9340]

RIP Gatsby Gal, maybe it was voles or some underground critters, I’d be sick it was glorious, but the maple is beautiful!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Jenny. 💐💚🙃

[@johnwaterman8884]

Margie- my husband and I got emperor 1 2 years ago. It does great on the eastside of our house which gets some shade in the afternoon but i have seen one of mr. Maples in full sun. A great tree!

[@laurelcomeaux4723]

Loved the tree choice! Looks perfect there!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you! 😊

[@sydneykasmar]

Wishing you all the best this week as you prepare and host your event. Also, love the new tree and your pruning tips.

[@katieheber5798]

I was thinking a Ginger Wine Ninebark would have been beautiful , but I think a burgundy tree in that location will be absolutely gorgeous! So excited to see it settle into its new home.

[@carmenkuhn3865]

When you got up the Gatsby Gal, did you see any cause for its failure?

[@candledancer2]

I was wondering that as well. Hope the Emperor does well.

[@kimsw9778]

What a gorgeous replacement! ❤

[@sharoncoon5439]

Good morning Jenny and Jerry and all!!

[@karenchisholm623]

I’m sorry you lost your hydrangea, but this Japanese maple is a great choice for a replacement.

[@bonnie3329]

I'm glad you talked about Shasta Daisy's. Wasn't sure whether to prune the dead heads or leave them alone. Hope I get a new flush of growth.

[@madeleinerojano3808]

So sad for the lost of the Oakleaf hydrangea but loving the maple addition 👏 My Ruby Slipper Oakleaf thank goodness is doing great!

[@cherylschumacher1832]

Beautiful replacement choice! Thank you so much for the links for sun protective clothing!!!

[@amyfrancois9121]

Mine did the same…few limbs still alive too!🤔

[@juliehubbard9840]

Jenny, you are amazing, you work so hard and I see that you love what you do. God bless you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. You are truly an inspiration ☺️💕

[@najwaseiya]

So nice sharing💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@allisonmussman5760]

Mr.Maple ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@valjalava1951]

A black lace elderberry would be pretty there as well

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

It would fry in our climate 😩

[@lisag6796]

Thank you for the tip for pruning the perennials! Sorry for the loss of Gatsby Girl. Emperor I looks great!

[@KidCity1985]

Really pretty tree.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Another thing to do as a choice outside, is to wear sleeves that are often used in golf.

[@belovedbytheKing]

I was so annoyed recently when we had 2 trees planted, both with burlap and wire, and they wouldn't take off the wire. I know the burlap will rot and go away, but I'm upset about those wire cages. I sure hope they survive.

[@Wiscowomen08]

Does Brenna want to come chase the bunnies out of my garden? My senior 4 foot is very useless at protecting the garden... and usually eats more of my plants than the bunnies do.

[@SusanRussell-b4i]

thats a beautiful tree!

[@dianetemple4243]

Just a suggestion to stand back and see that the tree is leaning slightly to the left. I'm sure you'll correct that. Wish I could come to your signature experience. One day I'll get over there to see your beautiful nursery.

[@deniselambrecht2067]

How about a pillar rose of Sharon?

[@erinn5319]

It sounds to me that’s a Jerry auger !😉

[@michaelmalone8742]

😢 Sad about Gatsby Gal, but lovely replacement choice! I've had plants die quickly for seemingly no reason though we do try to figure it out. Many parts of our garden are 20 years old and plants just kinda age out. That's why we keep a list of possibilities for the next chapter of a garden space...the fun of gardening is the journey. See you on Friday 🥰

[@marciasemon669]

I like the tree better!!!🥰

[@dobbiedo]

have you checked for moles moving through that bed and eating at the roots of your Gatsby Gal?

[@Janethedream]

Can the Gatsby girl hydrangea be cut back and nursed back to health if the roots are healthy?

[@goldierocks.]

I actually like the tree better.

[@TonyaA7]

Do for the daisy you go down to the 1st leaves? What do you use to keep rollie pollie off your plants? They have killed and ate through the roots of a few my plants..

[@gafairbanks2434]

I've come to believe, its the incoming gamma rays. Some plants grown with synthetic fertilizers don't fare well. Or too much water in soil below tends to rot roots quickly.

[@pennysantana7809]

Here is a question, Jenny can you propagate the single part of the gadspy gal that is still blooming to get at least another beautiful bush ? So sad to see it go, it was beautiful. Will you now change the name of that area 😢? As always God bless 🙏

[@mariale7821]

Interesting, my sisters gatsby gal was looking great a couple weeks ago too and all of a sudden it’s declining. Zone 7b, VA; water and sunshine is appropriate, and we are perplexed.

[@debmarlowe1204]

Could there be something in the soil that killed the plant? Is it safe re replant?

[@pamulapowell3951]

Beautiful 🥰

[@amyhatch3670]

We on occasion have problems with cut worms.

[@karenbarnes5517]

Hi 👋 Jenny

[@LaughingDogsBookNook]

I don’t know if anyone has said this - do you use a drip watering system? If so maybe that drip is plugged right where the dead shrub was. I’ve seen this before when one plant dies and all others are ok.

[@KrestynBarton]

Friends, need some advice. I have a hydrangea that is planted too low and it’s showing stress of course. It’s just started blooming so my question is, should I go ahead and give her a lift, or wait until it starts to go to sleep in fall? I’m nervous it won’t make it until fall so maybe just lift her and take a chance?

[@janmasisak156]

Does drip irrigation tubing get clogged if its covered with compost or mulch? Wondering if Gatsy Girl's condition was due to absence of drip water in combination with the hotter temps. Hope you're able to rehabilitate her. Like the tree in that area.

[@nancypatterson374]

The tree was a beautiful replacement. Things happen in the garden, my Hibiscus are blooming beautifully, but something shredded the leaves. They look like lace, maybe it was the cicada nightmare we had. They were so loud you couldn’t stand to be outside for long! Thank goodness they are gone. You could hear them from inside my house….Bye cicadas 😂❤

[@cece_marie]

Sawfly larvae are a possibility! They look like tiny clear green caterpillars on the back of the leaves.

[@nancypatterson374]

@@cece_marie , thanks I’ve never had this issue before I’ll check ❤️

[@ncallick4226]

It's most likely Japanese Beetles I'm sorry to say. The bottom leaves on one of my hibiscus plants has also been laced.

[@kristaself126]

By planting the new maple tree in this spot, will this area become another shade garden eventually? Will do you to rethink the perennials that are already planted?

[@PeggyGray-x4g]

Where did you buy your hat ?

[@Kamila_q]

What is the jimmy auger that you use? Could you please share what you recommend for average size holes in the garden for an average gardener

[@sheliafears591]

I’m not afraid to deadhead any plant to encourage new growth! Should Butterfly bushes be deadheaded?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

They certainly would benefit from it!

[@vbo9872]

Tree looks slanted?

[@amylambert845]

Voles eat the roots? That's how ours do when one eats roots.

[@tracieg7225]

I purchased 3 Proven Winners Hydrangeas this Spring & ALL 3 did this non-sense, too! Not sure why this just up & croaked? So Very Disappointed! 😞

[@dorindajenkins7825]

🙋

[@carollyn8885]

Did you start a new shrub from the one cutting? Can you?

[@lisag6796]

I was wondering the same.

[@tracymorrow8416]

The tree is not straight 😮

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Yes it is. The camera angle gives the illusion that it is not.

[@kimneiswanger5804]

But it's crooked to Jenny

[@casandradickinson8518]

It should not be done from a dying plant.

[@New-Hat-Gardening]

Just a thought...Maybe the dog peed on the Hydrangea? Sometimes dogs get off schedule or act out when their people leave them. Sorry to throw the poor dog under the bus 🐶🫣

[@emptychair8141]

I just found today some pachysandra thats damaged. It has thrived well thru several winters . Id swear the kittens have used it as a litter pot !! OR i possibly threw some raised bed dirt on it and it didnt like that. I was trying to empty a bag bought by mistake. !! Live and learn !🤦‍♀️

[@at1the1beginning]

"Burlap on or off? Depends on the tree." No. ALWAYS take burlap/wire/cage/twine off completely. It doesn't degrade/rust as fast as people claim and there are countless examples of trees toppling over or breaking years down the line because the roots got so constricted because of it. It's a recipe for disaster. Better yet to take off the soil aswell. Chances are it's not the same as the new native soil and water doesn't cross textural soil differences very well leading to either a bath tub or oven dry situation. Regarding the oakleaf: when a plant suddenly goes downhill THAT fast, my mind goes in the direction of something bacterial that affects either the xylem or phloem.

[@mrs.m4702]

Thank you, Jenny and Jerry for being the “real deal” in gardening!! I’m becoming a better student of my garden and I’m thankful for y’all!!

[@donnagent6046]

Jenny, I just wanted to tell you how much I love the Pink Cashmere Verbena I ordered from you. I fell in love with the plant when you used it in your deck boxes last year and knew right then I wanted it for this year. My shipment arrived just in time for my zone and the packing was perfect. I was impressed because this was after the flooding you experienced. You have a lifelong customer in me.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I’m so happy to hear this!!!!!

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Jenny☕️When you and Jerry pulled the Oakleaf Hydrangea, did you notice why she died? Are you going to replant or try to limp her along? The Japanese Maple is a fantastic replacement! 😍 Have a Blessed Day 😊🐶

[@nettysenoj3964]

I’m so glad I saw y’all doing this today. I have two 3 gallon Oakland holly I avoided putting in the ground because it’s already getting so hot (Texas zone 9a). But…with the tropical storm in the gulf we are cloudy and in the 80’s the next few days and rain expected today and tomorrow. I think this will help minimize any shock.

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Jenny 🌺.I'm sorry for the beautiful hydrangea and this Empreror Japanese Maple looks so pretty between the hydrangeas .Jenny you can plant the pretty Oakleaf hydrangea in other places . Have a wonderful day .🌺🌻🌺

[@MichaelRusso-k9j]

Beautiful Emperor Japanese Maple but sorry gabsy girl is no longer in your garden. My dasies need to be deadheaded as I can see after watering in the garden today. Excited to receive your sensation honeysuckle soon from Creekside. Beyond Midnight Bluebeard was delivered today and looking good and healthy and packed well. Didn't get knocked around at all. So pretty from photo and will be a nice addition! Very happy with my orders from you!

[@denisekarres7914]

Voles are the roots out from under my oak leaf last year.

[@Gin0827]

You are a good trooper Jenny. Losing big plants are hard to replace. We have to replace 30-35’ Leyland Cypress. They are 20 years old and our privacy is now compromised. 😢

[@lebarivall8723]

That is devastating. We lost our big Christmas tree to a needle drop disease two years ago. In late autumn and early spring (before the pollinators arrive), we spray our large Leylands with both above and underground pest control to prevent bagworms that will defoliate the trees. Before frost, they also get Ironite which keeps all my evergreens from turning brown in winter.

[@lisajelle714]

Yay Mr. Maple! Love when my favorite gardening channels overlap!

[@cherylt6888]

Such a mystery as to what happened to Gatsby girl…just one plant in the garden 😢

[@flower-the-earth]

She died with blooms. Weird!

[@jennetteojeda138]

💖🌸👍🏻🌸💖

[@janekozlovsky9383]

Guys, That sweet tree was meant to be there! It looks even better than the oak leaf did. I just love the structure it brought to that spot. 😍

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I hate I lost the hydrangea, but i think you're completely correct!

[@Susan-hn4dd]

Does deadheading perenial geraniums make them rebloom?

[@susanbaker2796]

Specifically, which sun hat do you have? Which company and model? I love it!!!!! Can you link it, I am not able to find it on the Solbari site.

[@lurenawalters6865]

Thank you !! I too was curious about the sun hat. Will get one since it also covers the back of the neck. You can float the Shastas that are not too far gone in a bowl of water as a centerpiece for a day or two. Thanks again for the sun protection clothing 🦜💜

[@BilloThomas]

Jenny, can you please share where you buy your cotton tops? It looks so pretty and perfect for summer.

[@pcrice-lr2dn]
