Planting a Hedge of Maple Trees 🌳// Garden Answer

[@williamfowler3804]

I've never been so motivated to do more Gardening this spring/summer. I enjoy watching your videos all the time.

[@lbstclair29]

I seriously look forward to getting up early to watch your videos. I have gotten into gardening because of your videos.

[@TheLandOfJonny]

I live in London and only have a tiny patio garden with high basement walls but we transformed it. We rent so one day when we move we will take everything with us. More than 3/4 are in pots and it’s going to be like Mary Poppins‘ bag when all the plants come out of our front door lol. I love all the inspiration you give me for when I have a bigger garden!

[@janetg1691]

Maple trees are such a beautiful choice, love them.

[@jaynemar1]

It will be lovely to drive slowly down The Maple Alee... Wonderful project! I’ve planted 23 trees on our large city lot in the 21 years we’ve been here. I love planting trees, but have no more room, so I’m tree planting vicariously through your projects! ❤️🍁🌲🍂🐿😎

[@lovetogarden8455]

You should try to create a map of your garden for your tours and date it every time you make a change. It will be helpful to you also as you update your garden you can update your map. Just a suggestion. The trees look awesome. Don't get bummed out about negative feedback, some people are full of ignorance. 🤗🌲💐🙋🏽

[@ukiechic2]

I second that. It takes a lot of graphic design work, so I don't know if they'll have the time, but a graphic on the screen would be great, especially to show all of the changes!

[@kalenclark]

Oh, I love this idea! Sometimes I get disoriented bc my spatial awareness is a bit off. This would be cool to see even if it was a rough sketch.

[@jamieboy116]

I love your garden, the maple tree hedge looks awesome. I agree you shouldn’t have to defend what you remove from your garden, replacing damaged trees is something we all have to go through at some point. I actually went through some of the same flack because I threw out some boxwoods that weren’t doing very well. They were dying due to a mite infestation and needed to get rid of them before they infested my crape myrtle trees. Thank you for all of your videos, it gives me so much inspiration to improve upon my container garden.

[@amandaswan6595]

Another great video, I love maples! I’m in New Zealand and really look forward to your videos.

[@janny365]

I get what you are saying about the trees . 4 months after we moved into our house with a field for a garden our neighbour marched in and told us he organised with the previous owners that no trees would be planted as it would obscure his view of the other field .... guess what I have planted a garden 5 years on now and planted in excess of 100 trees . Wish I could show you but I don’t know how to upload photo to u tube

[@brendadonaldsonsarty2325]

Hmmm. Wasn't he a bossy boots!

[@janny365]

Hmmm bossy is not a word I would use , he has cut 4 ft off my hedge top and my side leaving his side green ........ spiteful is a better word . I have now planted willow that grows 6 ft a year and a 8 ft leylandii hedge . In front of those already planted are 2 cherries an apple , gooseberry, raspberry bushes . That will obscure his view to the bedroom and living room in no time at all . Also considering an all night security light .

[@1mrtbone]

love those tress

[@nibordreknib7759]

I really enjoy all the tree stuff. Keep it up! I love how your garden is constantly evolving!

[@rnmalo14]

Great video. Always love watching your videos

[@morefromvictor]

Hey Laura, I notice you don't stake your newly planted trees, I recall you have mentioned in past videos there is occasional strong winds in your area. What is your take on staking newly planted trees? Thanks. Love all your videos!

[@AndeeSaraDesigns]

Garden Answer, what shade trees would you recommend that don't have roots that will completely take over your lawn? Would Redpointe Maple be one of them? I currently have 2 Aspens and another tree that I'm not sure what it is, but the roots have taken over the whole lawn and are even in my flower bed right up next to the house!

[@elainetrostinsky3104]

O boy, you certainly doing your part to keep the world 🌎 green 👍

[@lisalister8002]

I just planted 5 North Poles.... I live in zone 5 (Illinois) when, what (to use) and how should we fertilize?

[@jojohnston4113]

Off topic: the grass is amazing. We struggle with grass where we live! Do y'all have a problem with crabgrass? Love the idea for the maple tree "boulevard". And, yes, I agree with other comments. Your decision to take down the diseased tree was more than reasonable. Just a couple of months ago, a local tv reporter and photographer were killed when an old tree fell on their car as they were driving home from an assignment through a heavily wooded area. Not all trees are beneficial.

[@karynhitchman2498]

Jo Johnston I totally agree, my brother was crippled by a falling tree. He was fighting fires in Western Australia at the time.

[@jojohnston4113]

Sorry to hear about your brother. Hope he is doing well with his recovery.

[@karynhitchman2498]

Thanks Jo, he's an amazing guy with a beautiful family. It happened maybe 10 or so years ago. They are all doing really well with fabulous plans... facebook.com/LostEdenCreativeDwellingup/

[@elenasimon1270]

Pin oak. We had those in New Jersey. Messy in the spring.

[@maryt5018]

Hello Laura, I'm a zone 8b do you think this kind of tree would do good in my area?

[@egsuperduty]

I noticed that the Limelights have dropped their leaves, can you tell me why and what should be done about it. Also are supertunias sold year round there? I cant find any anywhere here in Florida. I do know that the Ace Hardware planted masses of them spring this year on a very busy highway. The heat has been so vicious this year even though we have had significant rain, its been an afternoon sauna every day it seems. But bubblegum prevailed and were just gorgeous. Cant wait for next year. Last question I ordered some of the ghost honeysuckle but it dosn't ship until October, do I plant it in the ground at that time or do I keep it in pots until ready for spring?

[@vintagepearlrodriguez6071]

You’ll awesome my darlings🍷

[@EnolaElorie]

I cannot believe that you actually have to "defend" your choices concerning your garden. even if you had not replaced those trees it should not matter to people. you explained why you did it and those reasons were sound. I love your garden and what you have done with is so far.

[@monkeygraborange]

Seems like no matter what one does nowadays, someone else will have something nasty to say about it. Comes with the territory I guess. One should always just ignore those people rahter than engage.

[@cinziadeluca5074]

Oh I totally agree with you. Laura is so wonderful and she shouldn't have to justify anything. She has a baby and nieces who walk around the property. God forbid one of those trees was to fall and hurt a child. I think you did the right thing Laura!

[@SunshineAlwayssassy]

I cant believe it either!! As much as Laura plants...I wouldnt want my other trees and plants getting diseases either I would cut them too...kudos to you Laura..I think you are an awesome person bless you and the family 💚💙💚👍👍👍

[@ellengill514]

Diseased and old trees are dangerous. We had a massive pecan that it took almost 3 people to wrap there arms around. It cam down in a storm after a few weeks of rain. So thankful it did not fall on house or people children or pets. I agree that Laura shouldn't have to explain her choices.

[@chorton38305]

Those people have moved on and are now busy being "offended" by something else, good riddance!

[@Tina-iy1jw]

You and Aaron are doing a great job👍🏼 just ignore the negative people. We will always watch your video, and you know what.... I don’t even have a garden, I just have 3 plants😉 but still I keep watching your videos

[@deninemartens4236]

Tina me too!! No garden but I love watching these videos. One day I hope to but until then I'll keep watching Gardenanswer. Lol

[@chuckbass3641]

Same, I am in college and I absolutely enjoy watching your videos.

[@buondymilazzo2945]

Tina I have a small balcony but she inspires me so much now I have my little secret garden!

[@Ellengin]

Don’t you love it when people tell you how to run your own garden 🧐

[@k.m5706]

No need to explain yourself about the tress Laura! Those people can kick rocks and keep it pushing with their negativity. Hey Aaron!!! It's so refreshing to see you on camera.

[@sarahthomas3149]

It’s so interesting watching your garden transform over time

[@nspector]

Yes!

[@lindavernon1185]

Love you guys so much and it is so nice to see how well you work together. It’s refreshing to see with all of the programs on TV showing arguments. I would rather watch your videos than anything on TV Your place is just Heaven and I love watching it evolve. Keep up the great work and don’t worry about the nay sayers. They can go watch TV.

[@user-fe8rk5lt9y]

Linda Vernon yeah they can go watch tv 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@burns375]

More Aaron please!!

[@pamketron]

Awesome trees! Y’all work so well together. It’s amazing what you get accomplished as a team. Ignore those who are never happy. Great job! Happy Week 🌼🐝🌼

[@kellydodge7626]

You never appear to be hot. I never see sweat. Your hair and makeup remain flawless. I don't know how you do it. I would be in shorts and a tank top, hair up, and sweat pouring. Lol oh oh and I get filthy. Head to toe filthy 😅

[@shirleysenkler781]

Nothing to feel bad about replacing unhealthy trees with any healthy ones. I live in the city and had to remove a storm damaged Autumn Blaze maple 3 years ago, replaced it with a Northwoods Maple 2 years ago it is starting to throw a decent amount of shade. Also have 2 Amur maples and 3 small Japanese maples in my yard. You and your husband are such an inspiration that I have tackled a messy garden have transplanted, purchased and mulched and it is looking good. Next year it will be stunning, with all the new growth. Speaking of new growth, how is little Benjamin? Can't wait to see him toddling around outside. Love from Minnesota(zone 4).

[@lisamaharaj]

[@kamchoyhoong3423]

Hi I am Sally just to say you guys are doing fine God knows.

[@kaileneberg]

I do the same thing! Coffee with Laura and Aaron starts the day right.

[@ukiechic2]

Same!

[@kristinep9023]

You inspire me to plant more in my garden. My garden has evolved so much this year because of your videos. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos.

[@beaniebaby7075]

I so appreciate all the work that goes into your videos. With all the info, different angles, everything. You guys are amazing!

[@RiverPlaid]

After all that I have seen you place in the ground, I would not question your decision to take a tree down. I see and appreciate your passion for growing and beauty, it is contagious......thank you!

[@dianajean4837]

Laura, you are Aaron are just good people. That's quite obvious. Don't worry about the negative internet people. They will be negative under any circumstance.

[@draselee6131]

Your place is stunning! Your videos motivate and inspire me. ( Oh, and empty my wallet 😂) By the way, thanks for the video several months ago on the sprinter boxwoods. I purchased a boatload of them and they’re doing extremely well here in the North East. Happy gardening 🌸🌺🌼

[@bRoOtAlKID64]

Going to look amazing when autumn hits. Greetings from Australia :)

[@ginnysummers7018]

Y'all are doing a great job for the environment! You inspire others to do the same. There are always haters. Love those trees! I sooo enjoy watching every single video. (I also enjoy watching the energy between you and Aaron. Good job y'all! )

[@beachseeker634]

I so enjoy your videos! I start my morning with breakfast and Garden Answer. 😀☕️ It was nice to see you and Aaron working together today! Laura, please tell me how, #1 you work in 105 degree heat, and #2 how you work in that heat with black (which absorbs heat) 3/4 sleeved shirts and jeans? I'd be passing out! 🔥

[@debrenagarnett7275]

And her hair still looks perfect! I don’t know how she does it??! Mine goes in a pony tail and still looks like a straggly mess even at cooler temps. When it gets in the hundreds here I can promise it doesn’t look like that lol! I’m so impressed!!!💕

[@GardenObsessions]

And if you look closely you can see a rare sighting of Aaron. 😂🤣 Guys I hate that you even had to address anything negative. This video is so inspiring I can’t wait until we have our permanent home and we can go and pick out our own trees. Thanks for more great tips. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@greenkitty6482]

I always enjoy and looking forward to watching your videos, Laura. I live in a house that practically has no place to plant things outdoor and I am such a black thumb!! Even ZZ plants managed to die under my care!! Watching the plants flourish so beautifully in your videos makes me happy. Thanks for making the videos and keep up with the good work : )

[@bensonmarshall6660]

Are you familiar with Gator Bags? They are 5(I think) gallon bags that fit around the trunk of a tree (with a zipper). You fill from the top and they empty from the bottom through small holes. They save time, water and you don't have to remember to turn a hose off...

[@teleburke]

Benson Marshall , I love the gator bags. I am guessing they might not look as great in the videos though! I transplanted a lace leave maple in 90 degree heat 3 years ago. It came out of the ground with very few small roots. With loving care and a gator bag it has survived!

[@bensonmarshall6660]

I'm not sure if it is made by the same company or not but there is a watering bag on the market that looks like a brown donut... It's not quite as user-friendly... But it accomplishes the same thing and looks a little better. Is designed specifically for trees that have branches low on the trunk.

[@marieandruby]

That was so much fun watching you put those trees in! You make it look so easy. Looking forward to seeing them in the Fall. The driveway is going to look beautiful when the trees mature!

[@dawnpleasant2319]

I'm looking forward to seeing those Maple trees this falll. When watching your videos I have to remind myself that my property is super small and those trees will not fit for me!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Another item to add to my garden book!! I've had similar maples in the past but before you and Aaron I didn't pay attention. Thank you both for peeking my interest and sharing your plans for your garden So pretty!🌳

[@anngriffith7932]

What a beautiful allee, especially in Autumn. Great idea!

[@pennyduncan5980]

Laura limbs falling down off of diseased trees is a reality and can injure children and people. We took down a 100 plus year old tree because of the risks it posed to individuals walking beneath it. We missed the massive shade the tree provided but it simply wasn’t worth the continued risk to family, friends and children. Glad you addressed the issue.

[@MosaicRose99]

This is true. I remember those bigger branches falling off of that diseased tree that Aaron and Laura took out. Their late kitty, Dexter used to go under that tree all the time. If they kept that tree, then the same danger would have been there for their current kitty, Russell, and God forbid, for their son Benjamin when he becomes older and is walking around their yard.

[@loverule9320]

I love you trees and your garden! People just need to mind their own business.

[@cherrose100]

Great video Laura and Aaron ... I must say the Maple tree is one of my favourite trees 🌲💖 also it's your property Laura and Aaron, so I say to you lovely couple ... do what you want on your own little piece of paradise ... I love watching you Laura, you're a little gem 💎 full of gardening knowledge. 💖👍🏼😁💚🕊

[@wildflowerwind6941]

Everything has a life cycle, including trees.

[@karindowns9876]

Hi Laura, We have several maple trees in our yard but they have the helicopters on them which end up in our yard I am always pulling sprouting trees out of the flower beds. Can you tell me if the red pointe maple does the same thing? We are looking for trees to line our fence on both sides as we are looking for privacy mostly in the summer. We have some crape myrtles which I love but have had some trouble with the ambrosia Asian beetle killing the trees. I live in zone 7a. Very thankful for you and Aaron doing these videos!🙏 and Garden Answer.

[@sheilaeagy3913]

I can’t imagine anyone posting a negative comment to you. You are so sweet and such an inspiration. I’m 60, have never gardened until now. I watch you every morning except Sunday because most of the time you don’t post but I check anyway JUST in case lol. I love you and your whole family. God bless you guys.

[@kaileneberg]

We have that cart and looove it. Our landscapers wanted to use it instead of their wheel barrel when they were doing a project for us. I wish we had a lawnmower to pull it though😂. Thanks for showing us these trees. I’ve been looking for something like it with the red leaves. 👍

[@wen8991]

Hi Laura and Aaron, the next time you have Q&A or during one of your videos, can you talk about planting in clay soil? I don’t see you amending your soil with compost, which is what nurseries around me recommend for success with trees, shrubs and perennials. I also don’t want to create root rot by creating a pool around a root ball. I would love to hear your wisdom! Thank you for inspiring us! ❤️🌱. Btw, nice to see Aaron in today’s video... great team/family effort!

[@Christine-777]

[@pilotdiana]

Gosh those trees are awesome! The city had to remove three lovely trees on the boulevard that shaded my backyard because they were actually hollow in the middle. It was so sad but with Hurricane weather here in south Texas they had no choice. Diseased trees are deadly. Love all you and Aaron do. I send your videos to my friends and relatives. 👍

[@brendadonaldsonsarty2325]

I like that phrase -- "Diseased trees are deadly." Succinct and accurate.

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Those maple 🍁 trees were the perfect choice...wow that is amazing how by planting trees, shrubs, plants etc it changes the landscape and the curb appeal of your home. I snapped a pic of the tree tag for future reference. Thanks so much again Laura and Aaron for this video...cheers fm Canada 🇨🇦.

[@mommag3024]

We also had to remove a lot of trees from our property when building our new house and will be planting new ones as well. I could not afford to buy too many trees but I got a membership to the Arbor Day Foundation and they will be sending me 10 free trees in the fall (they will be very small). They also give discounts to members on all of their plants and trees. It is definitely worth the membership!

[@terrijones5594]

You do not have to justify your choices for the development of your garden and home. Many people have very short sighted views and don't see the overall picture or understand the ultimate plan you have in mind. Even if those trees were healthy(which you said they were not) trees have a finite life expectancy and do not last forever. I have taken to heart your adage "If you don't like what is there then take it out and put in what you do like." A mantra that has freed me(and I'm sure others)from trying to work around plants and trees that I don't like. Thanks for the videos and advice. Love them all. The straight line is a very good idea. The trees are in a more formal configuration, I think, and need to be straight. Kinda hard to change once they are planted. Good planning.

[@oneofhissheep1]

Love your videos & I've learned soooo much from you. My yard is looking so much better because of what you have taught us.

[@BretislavStasa]

I love this kind of videos, theres little bit of everything, planting new stuff, reviews, updates, revisiting familiar place like the garden center, even Aaron doing the talking for a bit. I love it. I made my Sunday, thank you Garden Answer. And btw you are doing great job making Earth more greener and colorful so don't let any internet troll make you think different.

[@goharosen]

I'm surprised you didn't patch the lawn where the old tree was with the grass you dug. Do you think it wouldn't take? I live in cooler and more humid climate so I'm just curious. Can't wait to see fall garden tour.

[@jelatinosa]

goharosen she didn't because they plan on developing that area and are going to eventually pull up that grass anyway to make a sort of pathway. She explained it in one of her last videos.

[@goharosen]

I must have missed that. Thanks for replying.

[@lavernepm]

Yes I saw that vid of explaining the pathway. You know they wouldn't leave a spot like that if no plans on doing something amazing to fix it! I'm not being negative to anyone's comment, just love reading a lot of these and knowing how these two garden... Notice how Aaron explained how they are gonna take out a little bit of that grass to make it all symmetrical and even from the veggie garden down the drive way? AMAZING COUPLE! AND SO HANDSOME!!!

Since I started watching your videos, I’ve reworked several sections of my yard and flowerbeds and even planted a couple of trees!

Hi. This is my first comment to you. I would like to say thank you so much for learning me about plant's and such.

Next year or late this year I will build a small vegetable garden to, cant wait for to plant it next year! Please keep up with yours videos you are awesome!

[@kimchristensen9496]

Love watching every video from you! I know trees can be planted at different times, I grew up with the saying from my granpa Plant trees in the months with a R. Lol. Saying I recall from a long time ago. My yard is pretty small for trees but I did take a tree out that was overgrown for my yard: silver maple. I don't care for silver maple's!! The roots can be destructive! The trees you planted look very nice. I have learned soooooo much from you!!!! I live in a zone 5 in WI so all that you plant is of interest to me. WI does not get the high hot days like you experience. As always... I can't wait until your next video 😊

Two winters ago, the neighbors behind us had left a diseased tree in their yard. One early morning, during a wind storm, it fell THROUGH OUR ROOF!!!! We were protected! Thanks Heavenly Father!! Removing diseased trees saves lives people!!!

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

The trees look great. I’ve always loved the allée style of driveway with a row of trees on either side especially when they join over the top in an arch. Anyone giving you flak about removing those trees has no real understanding of disease and safety considerations with old (or any) trees. You’ve definitely done your part to keep trees in your space for generations to come. I wish the red point maple was hardy to zone three. Beautiful choice.
