Plant these trees in your parkway!

i literally just wanted to watch a video about my favorite tree, and this shit delivered

Hahaa the best comment thus far 🙌 Cheers! 🍻

Australian Willows are great. We have planted a few and looking forward to seeing them mature. We also like Shiny Xylosma in tree form as a small evergreen tree that is relatively clean/easy maintenance, loves full sun, and drought tolerant. If you have any experience with Shiny Xylosma trees, please share. We have had the Xylosma for just under a year. Thanks.

[@RootedTheory]

I’ve seen some beautiful mature Xylosma. They do make a really nice accent or screening tree! Thanks for watchin 😎

[@gerry427]

Great video !!! Any advice on some other parkway trees that i might be able to assist in redirecting downward root growth ? Was really liking Royal Empress, Jacaranda. Hybrid Poplar...... Gerry from San DIego, CA

[@RootedTheory]

Thanks brotha! I might suggest to stay away from the Jacaranda… Although it’s incredibly majestic, the messy drop tends to outweigh the benefits. If you have a south western theme landscape, then the Prosopis chilensis or Cercidium Desert Museum are good ones. I also like Brachychiton. It’s evergreen and generally less messy than many other trees. And Crape Myrtle is a good classic! Hope this helps!

[@gerry427]

Which variation of Brachychiton.....Acerifolius, Rupestris, Populneus ??? Thnx again !!!

[@RootedTheory]

+Gerald Velasco Id go with the populneus. Just do a deep watering method on these and you’ll be good!

[@allalone393]

What is the name of the trees that have many fine branches ؛ I saw them in Paris

[@NoTaboos]

The first one is known as the Wilga Tree in Australia.

Happy planting!

[@erikaz.hirschmann5928]

Very good video! I live in Los Angeles area, and I would like to plant a tree in my back yard that gives shade to a sitting area and is not too tall. What tree would you recommend for a medium size back yard? I looked at the Desert Museum Palo Verde and the Chilean Mesquite, both of them are beautiful, but they need a lot of space to spread out. Please advise! Thank you!

[@RootedTheory]

Thanks! So yeah the Palo Verde and Mesquite are actually considered a ‘small’ to ‘medium’ tree. This would be the smallest you would want to go for any type of shade casting. However if you want to go smaller, check out Dodonaea Purpurea. These can be trimmed to make a small patio tree. Max height would be about 12’.

Do Chinese pistache trees always change colors or do they need a cold snap? I live in San Diego and I'm looking for a drought tolerant tree that can be planted in a hell strip that is 8' wide...would live this tree for the colors, but only if the colors were guaranteed

[@RootedTheory]

Hi! So typically, the colder the climate, the more vibrant the color change. There are several of these up in Pasadena that I drive by, and some years when the Winters are colder, they provide a more deep orange/crimson tone. In more mild Winters they are a lighter gold/orange/yellow. I feel like down in SD they will yield a nice color, but potentially not as rich. Still a good choice for anywhere in So Cal :)

[@LdyEnigma84]

@@RootedTheory thank you so much for replying :D this tree will absolutely go on my list of trees to consider now!

[@SonOfAGun1814]

i live in phoenix (zone9b) and even here my chinese pistache tree's give me fall (winter) colour every single year. if you want deeper red, get the red push pistache (common nursery tree now) and you will get a more vibrant display..... life is short, get both! : )

[@Nohandleideas]

Here in California we got wayyyyy down to 20 Degrees Fahrenheit!!! And my pistashe survived so yes they can survive a cold snap

[@johndiaz2853]

How long would it take for a Tristan is to grow big enough for shade ? And also I’ve heard the the wind knocks these guys down quite often? What’s your take on this?

[@RootedTheory]

They don’t make a fantastic shade tree only because they tend to grow more upright and columnar before they expand their canopy outward. So maybe 10-12 years before any kind of canopy shade underneath. In regards to limbs falling in wind, yes, that can definitely happen, but nowhere near as bad as Eucalyptus, sycamore, and others that are more susceptible to limb breakage.

[@johndiaz2853]

@@RootedTheory thanks 😊! I actually picked up an “ash tree “🌳 this morning! Are you familiar with these I’m not sure but I think it’s green ash! 🤔 anyway are these ok trees in your opinion? Thanks

[@2A_supporter]

Why clean the deciduous tree leaves when they will be broken down by the time spring comes

[@NaProbablyNot]

Any tips on trimming a Brisbane Box to grow more umbrella/spread like? I purchased a couple from you folks a year ago. Growing tall but trying to promote horizontal growth up top.

[@RootedTheory]

By nature, they want to grow more upright than out. This makes them ideal screening trees. You can begin to prune taller branches to encourage lateral growth, but it won’t significantly spread until they are more mature.

[@staceylam762]

I do like the Brisbane tree , it almost reminds me of arbutus marina tree. I need a tree for my backyard since I lost my 80ft ash tree .:( I am in love with the strawberry multi trunk and single can be nice too but my nursery told me that it would only be 25ft max and I need it to mature at least 40 or 50ft and non root invasive cus tree will be planted near house and garage Can you recommend please? Thanks

[@RootedTheory]

Sorry to hear you lost your tree :((( So the Arbutus Marina would eventually hit aboit 30’ or more, but unfortunately, they do take a long time to reach that height. Carolina Cherry Laurel is a decent option reaching about 35 feet max, noninvasive route system. Eucalyptus torquata could also work. Hope this helps… Let me know if you need more suggestions!

[@staceylam762]

@@RootedTheory so you wouldn’t recommend Brisbane tree near house or in backyard cus of root invasion? Thank you for your advice

[@KelNash]

Chinese Pistache 'Keith Davey' is a variety that doesn’t drop any fruit, if that’s a deterrent.

[@alexmalespin7635]

Hi there! I’m considering either a Chinese Pistache or a Drummond Red Maple for my front yard. It will be planted fairly close from the sidewalk and entryway. I love the colors or both trees, but roots braking the concrete is a big concern I have. Which one would you choose between the two and why? THANKS IN ADVANCE

[@RootedTheory]

Hi! I would suggest the Chinese Pistache in this case. The root system for the Maple would be too extensive to plant in close proximity to concrete.

[@alexmalespin7635]

@@RootedTheory thank you sooo much for taking the time to respond. It is about 6 Feet away from the sidewalk or entryway

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Hi Dominic, one thing about the Chinese pistache - it gives me heartburn every spring/summer because it's so late in leafing out. Come early June all my other deciduous shade trees are in full leaf, but the pistache is still bare. One hot summer a few years ago it even got bark burn due to lack of a covering crown. I've finally learned not to worry, it's not dead, it's just slow. I'm located between Burbank and Pasadena, near Montrose. If I may add, my favorite is the crape myrtle, both for spring bloom and fall color. It has a fantastic bark too. Several of my neighbors (and myself) use them for street trees. I have a large lot, so my larger trees (liquidamber and sycamore) are located in the backyard. I do worry about the pest that vectors the bacteria (?) that's making its rounds in SoCal. Can you comment on it?

[@RootedTheory]

Hey there! Yes there’s many of the Pistaches in the area and they are always late to the game to regain their foliage. But it’s worth it…they’re majestic! Not too familiar with any new pests but I’m sure we will need keep an eye out on the nursery grounds. Thanks for watching!

[@DanielinLaTuna]

@@RootedTheory hi Dominic; I was unclear in my description of the trees affected by that pest - it’s the American Sweetgum (liqidamber); the symptom is “burned” foliage due to the transport tubes getting mucked up. By the way, is your facility open to the public (walk ins) or just internet sales. I’d be delighted to visit you.

[@RootedTheory]

Ahh understood. We have not had that affect our liquidambars, but we do occasionally get blight on our pyrus that we have to treat. Unfortunately our growing grounds are not open to the public. We are set up for online delivery only. But if there’s something your interested in, we can send a yard photo. Would love to help!

[@shp112506]

Love the videos. Any advise on types of plants for smaller backyards. Need plants not necessarily hedge plants bit more for privacy. Any suggestion for trees that don’t spread roots out too much thank you in advance

Thank you for your response. San Diego. California

[@RootedTheory]

Oh cool, pretty close! I did a video for plants that will do well here in a western climate. These are fantastic plants that are super easy to grow. Bullet Proof Plant Combo for Full Sun kzbin.info/www/bejne/pma9hYqknaZ_r5Y In terms of a tree that has a lighter root system, check out the Tristania or Brachychiton. I did a vid on them (the one you saw already) recommending them for parkway/street trees. I like them because they are evergreen and have a fairly non-invasive root system. I’d still recommend a deep-watering setup in smaller spaces though. Another good small accent tree is the Dodonaea. It is sometimes used as a screening hedge but can also be trimmed to be a single tree. www.budgetplants.com/shrubs/background/purple-hopseed-bush-dodonaea-viscosa-purpurea

[@harmik98]

How about a mimosa tree?

[@RootedTheory]

Mimosa is another good option! I see them fairly often as a street tree around LA.

[@fg740]

The only concern I have with the Tristania is its high rating for biogenic emissions.

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

@F G - "Biogenic emissions" is code for carbon dioxide, which Everyone Knows is evil. Except it's not. First, the tree is a net user of CO2; it cannot poot forth more carbon that it uses to make wood and leaves. Any data that says otherwise is untrustworthy. It's simply not true. Second, anthropogenic CO2 is not the cause of climate change. Recent research shows the opposite, but it takes a long time for truth to get through to the evening news, especially now that CO2-induced warming has become "settled science"...which actually means it's not science at all. That's not how science works. I won't go into the reasons why CO2 actually causes _cooling,_ not warming; you can research it for yourself if you're interested. The point is that the relatively tiny amount of CO2 that _Tristania_ might emit relative to the much larger amount it uses for growth is more helpful than harmful. If the tree suits your needs, grow it. You'll be helping the environment, not harming it.

[@actionitem1]

That was a terrific video and so helpful. Do you have any videos about trees near a pool and berm retaining wall behind the pool?

[@RootedTheory]

Thanks!! So generally, trees with larger leaves are more desirable by pools because they’re easier to skim out and don’t clog filters. This is one reason why various types of palms are popular. Magnolias can also work well so long as they’re not in close proximity to piping and the pool shell.

what about carrot wood tree and fern pine tree?

[@RootedTheory]

Hi! Fern Pine would also be a good choice. Carrotwood is questionable because of the root system and seed pod drop. But structurally its a good tree of the parkway is large enough to accommodate.

[@bluenavy22]

I disagree on Tristania tree. seed just drop and it make very messy. But It is very drought tolerant and i don't even water on hot summer and it still standing.

[@garyspeed8961]

Curious why you are suggesting Australian native trees for USA environments... are you not concerned about the species becoming invasive in your own native vegetation systems? Are there no local native tree species that also fulfill this role and in doing so also complment your own local ecosystem?

[@SonOfAGun1814]

if a bird eats/shits and or carries a tree seed from aus to usa to the same climate zone, then what?

[@garyspeed8961]

well in the natural system they dont.. thats how the worlds ecosystems have evolved... but of course with mans intervention... eg air travel, shipping... trade etc it does but that is why in Australia for example the are very strict biosecurity measures at airports and harbours...and if you are trying to protect / encourage your own natural ecosystems you would try to promote them...

migratory birds disperse seeds very very long distances every single year. #fact.

[@garyspeed8961]

@@SonOfAGun1814 you are missing the point.. yes migratory birds carry seeds.. they have been doing that for millions of years an natural ecosystems have adapted to that...mam has intoduced flora and fauna to systems that have never seen those and therefore the local ecosytem has never had millions of years to adapt to that potentially invasive species ...FACT

[@SonOfAGun1814]

humans ruin everything, yes, but a bird has planted the same trees in that same climate zone, many many times. i live in phoenix zone 9b and every single year we set a record for the hottest year. it keeps getting hotter and hotter, and not just in the summer anymore. if we planted only desert trees here it would make no difference. they provide no shade and fall over and break every time the wind blows. tree's aren't invasive here because it doesn't rain. why can't i fill my back yard will shade from real shade tree's that aren't native here? concrete and electricity isn't native either. help, i need more shade!
