Planting our Cherry Tree + Bare Root Perennials & Seedlings I Perennial Garden

Today we're planting our new Flagpole Cherry tree (Prunus 'Amanogawa'). We'll take you along for all of the steps, from digging the hole to moving this 300kg tree into the garden.
And we'll show you what else we've been up to this week in our back garden.
Spoiler alert: It involves pricking out seedlings, fertilizing the garden in the rain, and planting more bare root perennials.

your videos are very entertaining, educational, full of beauty and love. thank you.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much, Kristin! That really does mean a lot to us 🥰

[@MadAboutGardening]

What a lovely tree and great size. We know just how heavy trees can be to manoeuvre and plant without machinery so we'll done! All that new planting space to plan and enjoy too. You're weather is very similar to the UK, rain, sun, rain again! Nice to see you as a family too. Take care guys ❤

[@perennial-garden]

Glad I had some strong students to come and help out. We literally couldn't have done it without them :)

[@khayescobar1819]

Wow that’s a beautiful centerpiece tree will be a show of colors love it. You have a beautiful colorful garden thank you for sharing. Love from Washington State 👍❤️🙏😊🌷

[@perennial-garden]

It should be really pretty in the autumn too 🧡. Thanks for watching! Hope you’re having a great week over there.

[@sannaericditsler4034]

Beautiful tree. You did a great job. Your garden is looking lovely. Thank you for the video.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much! We're happy it's finally arrived :)

[@alecwildes2840]

That's a beautiful tree... great work

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks, Alec! We're very excited to watch it grow. Should get a lot taller, but stay slim. (If only we could do the same! haha)

[@jaqmackie]

Lovely tree. Yes I also try to fertilise in the rain. Sometimes it works 😂

[@perennial-garden]

We'll do anything to keep the smell of the fertilizer away 😅. Usually we fertilize right BEFORE the rain.. but this one sneaked up on us.

Happy Weekend from us! 💚

[@RaduChira]

Love the tree!

[@perennial-garden]

RADU! Hope it loves our garden!

[@mercury_rising]

The tree is beautiful! It’s perfect for that spot. Great that your son is helping-quality family time in the garden 😊.

[@perennial-garden]

We're so glad he's helping, too! He's actually quite excited about the tree -- and he was a part of deciding to get rid of the trampoline :)

[@wendybartlett6717]

This reminded me of putting up my Christmas tree every year and trying to get it straight! Beautiful tree and that was a huge hole that you had to dig for it. The weather is so unpredictable at the moment but us gardeners carry on until the job is done. You must be very pleased with the finished results. It's lovely that your son gives you both a helping hand. Does he like gardening? I'm like you and have a lot of potting on to do. It's a job that I really like doing.

[@perennial-garden]

At least no Christmas lights to untangle 😂 Our son likes helping out - but he’s not crazy about gardening in particular. He does like having a pretty backyard tho. Maybe he’ll like it better when he’s older. And so glad you still have some potting on to do, too 🤓 We feel quite behind… but it’s a fun job, so we also don’t mind taking it slow.

[@theblueberrybarn]

I love the tree! Great work! And I love watching Mahlatsi climbing the tree in the background.

[@perennial-garden]

You saw him back there 🥰 He’s loving the better weather these days.

[@spareshoes]

Excited that your tree has finally arrived and been planted! I've been following this channel since last Autumn, watching old episodes to get me through the dreariness of winter. It's a riot to see how giddy you both are at the arrival of the cherry tree and emerging bulbs, I can so relate!

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you for following us for so long! We're celebrating our 1 year on KZbin right now :) AND thanks for letting us know that you get excited about bulbs, seedlings and all the wonderful things that the garden brings us all. Good to know that we're not the only ones! :)

[@anniehoefnagel2745]

Mooi hoor de sierkers, hij past heel mooi in jullie tuin en in het vak waar de trampoline eerst stond. Leuke video jongens!

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much for watching! While we'll miss the trampoline ;) we think the new tree will work just as well. haha

[@andreabriem853]

What a nice looking tree. I looking forward to see him in summer with a great green shape

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much! We can’t wait to watch it grow too 💚💚

[@brocktoon8]

Love your new word "Pebblets" 😂What a lovely episode! Tree planting, seedling showing (thank you), fertilizing, and I can't wait to see what goes in around the tree! I could have watched for twice or three times as long!

[@perennial-garden]

Pebblets is the word of the day. hahaha🤣 Lars asks if you caught my extra corny 'north pole' joke? I'm such a dad... can't help it. And those seedlings! Yes. I thought of you, so we made sure to show a few more at the 'ready to pot on' stage 🥰

[@brocktoon8]

@@perennial-garden Bahahah! I DID notice and enjoy the Dad joke!!!! 😂😂😂I was actually going to mention it but then had so much more to mention by the end of the vid I forgot, lol! More please, I love Dad jokes! Thanks again for being so thoughtful about the seedlings, it was actually very helpful to see the leaf stage where you planted them on. Your garden is looking amazing and it's only April - can't wait for your next vids! ^^

[@perennial-garden]

@@brocktoon8 AND... we're actually trying to film every seedling as it comes up and we pot it on. Then, we'll combine with a video of how we sowed it (winter-sowing) and the final flower in the garden later + how to collect seeds from it, divide it, etc. It's a long process that will take all year ;) BUT... hopefully it'll be helpful.

[@brocktoon8]

@@perennial-garden Wow wow wow wow wow wow! ☺Looking forward !

[@perennial-garden]

@@brocktoon8 It'll just take time... all season, actually. 😅

[@sydneygardener540]

I don’t want to be to critical guys, but your laurel and Hardy like efforts could do with some work😂. At the end. A beautiful centre sight

[@perennial-garden]

hahaha. No one watches our channel for the comedy, that's for sure 😂. We're just glad we're still laughing after all the rain this week.

[@gloriaswanson-fj3gt]

Well the tree has finally arrived! Its gorgeous! Just perfect in that spot. I'm hoping your viewers arr wrong about the wired roots. I'm sure your dealer knows what he's talking about ! Im amazed how much is in full bloom in spite og all the cold we've been having! I just planted my Wintersown seedlings in pots. But not so patiently as you Lars and far not as many. I had seeda from a plant i had last year called Summer phlox, which did so well I wanted it again this yesr. Maybe you know it ? Its annual. Anxious to see what you have nrxt on the sgends fit us ❤😊

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks for watching, Gloria! That summer phlox is a gorgeous one! I hope it does well again this year for you. And I hope you get some warm weather soon... it's been up and down here, too. As you can see, we're in winter jackets one day and short sleeves the next!

[@77sun222]

Gosh!!! That cherry tree will give you years of pleasure😊. What's the name of the tree your son is posing on please? He looks a fine young man 🤩🤩💫

[@perennial-garden]

AH thank you! He is a great kid. I'm not sure what that tree is tho... Lars has a tree specialist at his garden, so we'll have to ask him. For us... it's pretty... so it stays. hahah

[@bewoodford2807]

Gorgeous tree- so beautiful. Loed watching the team work potting on the seedlings. I so worry to so my seeds in cold temperatures, - I am so scared of them rotting in the cold damp soil, but I see from your video that they are ok and do well. Thank you.I do like your potting compost- it looks really nice. Is it coir based? Thank you for such an interesting video. Happy gardening 🙂

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks for watching! We keep all of our seedlings in that unheated glasshouse. If the daily temperatures warm up, we open the door to keep the air moving and not so humid. We do get moss on top of many trays...but we just scrape it off. AND, we do have some trays that just don't make it -- but that's just life of gardeners :) All in all, we prefer this method to sowing now in the spring... when there are a million other small jobs to work on :)

[@bewoodford2807]

@@perennial-garden it looks a great method. Thanks again 🙂

[@caroltrego1640]

Hope your tree will be all you want from it and the surrounding gardens. How tall and wide will it grow? You have a lot of patience with transplanting all the seedlings.

[@perennial-garden]

That's very kind of you, Carol. We hope so , too. We looked a lot of different options... and we're pretty sure that we chose the best one for us :)

[@ceahorse56]

Wow your garden sure is popping in color! Cherry tree is just perfect for that spot. Does your son love gardening as such as his Dads? My grandson is 12 and he sure does love when I let him use the drill too.

[@perennial-garden]

Our son is 11, so we completely understand your grandson and the drill :) Ours likes to help... but he's not a gardener just yet. We still have time to help him fall in love with it. haha

[@ogadlogadl490]

I’m just wondering, the burlap was left on? Beautiful garden, beautiful family.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you for watching and for your sweet message :) And yes, we left the burlap wrapped around the root ball.

[@rbthegardennannyllc4219]

Question: I have Lupines that i wintered sowed. They have nice leaves but they are still small. Can I just go ahead and put them in the ground? Will I kill it if I just put it in the ground instead of repotting into bigger pots. I have a whole bunch of them. Beautiful tree. Great for that spot. Thanks for sharing your repotting.

[@perennial-garden]

For our area, it's fine to plant them out already now. The fear of frost has passed for us and all of our seedlings have their second set of leaves. We DO have to be careful for snails and slugs in our garden tho... and they love tiny lupine leaves here. But otherwise, go for it:)

[@rbthegardennannyllc4219]

@@perennial-garden thanks so much!

[@eastcoast4233]

All looks so beautiful. Your new tree is going to be amazing! Are those a smaller variety of peony? Mine get massive, I couldn’t plant them as close together as your new ones were - 1m apart doesn’t seem too much to be honest. Looking forward to seeing what else you plant this year 😊

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks for watching! And I wish our peonies got that big 🥰 These are Peonia lactiflora. We’re planting ‘Catharina Fontijn’, ‘Karl Rosenfield’ and ‘Coral Sunset’. We already have a few other ones in the garden - but they’re so old that we don’t know the names.

[@Lea-zf7lm]

​@perennial-garden Claus Dalby doesn't seem to have a problem packing all the plants in together, does he? ❤ That tree is amazing! I had looked it up when you first mentioned it, but it isn't hardy enough for here. I will admit to a tiny bit of cherry tree envy atm 🙄😂🌸🌿 Loved seeing your son climbing the other tree in the background 😊

[@perennial-garden]

You saw him back there! Yeah... when he was helping, he was climbing that one (happy with a sunny day at last).

[@Lea-zf7lm]

​@perennial-garden he's a scene stealer 😉☺️ It was lovely to see the whole family participating in the gardening... even if someone "only" there to hold up the umbrella or the tree 🙄😂😂

[@perennial-garden]

@@Lea-zf7lm What's that old expression? "No job is big or small, only thinking makes it so." 🤓

[@Heggerud_gard]

How do You edge your beds with rocks? Do You set the rocks in concrete ?

[@perennial-garden]

We set them in sand and fill in the gaps between them with sand, too. Just normal sand that we buy at the local hardware store. The rocks are called marksten here in Denmark (field stone, I think is the translation). Hope that helps!
