Planting our New Crapemyrtle Tree! | Out with Old, In With the New!

[@ChokolateCP03]

I just got me a black diamond purely purple crepe Myrtle for my front yard... I’m excited to watch it grow!

[@OteyToTravel]

That tree was fine I could still see the green in the trunk!!! Awww.

[@JamilahandMarcel]

😥😥 I really didn't want to dig it up. I was sad to do it but it just wasn't growing on all of its branches. Another reason I wanted to take it down that I didn't mention in the video - the idiot builders planted it right next to my water and sewer line. Those trees grow huge and they have been causing issues for other ppl in the neighborhood. The one in the back is ideal because it's away from anything. But I was upset about removing it.

[@OteyToTravel]

JamilahandMarcel That makes perfect sense! If you replant it and fertilize it once a week it will grow back. I want to show you my crape. Can I message you in IG?

[@Lindseyro]

Awwww I LOVE your wife!! She is too cute/ beautiful n funny , etc etc. ...❤ & Blue too of course. Perfect family working together. 😊 I stumbled across yalls video trying to find tips on transplanting crepe myrtle from pot to ground. I also have 2 older ones that grew from seed on their own/ from the 🐦 birds. And some elephant ears like yall too. Anyway keep doing what yall do. Great enjoyable family friendly learn-able content! 🙌🙂👍 @JamilahandMarcel

[@WeirdFlex]

Y’all got a tree update video?

[@JamilahandMarcel]

We don't have a video, but the tree is probably around 8-9 feet tall now!! The tree is still small in terms of its width, but I will widen out as it matures.

[@WeirdFlex]

@@JamilahandMarcel ok I would love to see it! We just got a black diamond red hot with the dark leaves! All I see on KZbin are the green leaf trees at full growth! Haven’t seen a dark leaf tree full size yet!

[@RudyandNicole]

Nice man. I have been planting the black diamond crape myrtles in my front area. They are very nice looking.

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Thank you, and that sounds really nice. I'm going to have to look up your variation!

[@RudyandNicole]

@@JamilahandMarcel i was 1st introduced to them about 2 years ago. The black foilage with blooming colors are the best ever in bright sun!

[@shopper5969]

Looks good y’all are truly home owners and work as a team. Keep up the beauty in your yard. The elephant ear plants look healthy. Y’all have a green thumb👍🏾 The hair cut I’m looking forward to see. I used to cut my husband hair when the kids was young. Now my husband has no hair lol

[@vals6079]

You guys are super cute!

[@childofgodga-girl8229]

That tree said whyyyyyy slap lol I laughed so hard. I love you guys. I’m in ga too. I just bought 4 crapes all different colors and 4 weeping willows!!! Good luck guys.

[@queenYisrael]

Good afternoon 🌞 my favorite couple 😊...I love all of the greenery around y'all's yard.

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Thank you 🖤

[@frankiede4393]

Hey Jamilah can you do a update on how crapemyrtle is doing. I planted same Black diamond last summer, after cold winter here not looking so hot this spring.

[@JamilahandMarcel]

It’s growing taller! Can’t wait to see the blinds this spring!

[@MrsJassmine]

Ever since I watched the video clip talking about the elephant ear plants 🌱 I get overly excited when I spot them in the neighborhood. But you guys greenery looks great. Keep growing and showing

[@Lindseyro]

Thank you for taking the time to watch one of our videos! & thanks for your kind words💖 -Jamilah

[@justindrwills]

Marcel turned real hood while pulling that tree 😂😂😂

[@greer5396]

😂😂

[@simplyshellie]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yea I had to rewind it to make sure I heard what I heard

[@JamilahandMarcel]

😂😂😂😂

[@ani8256]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dwayneowens325]

Would love to see how the crepe myrtle looks now

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Would be hard to show, honestly, but the tree is about 7 ft tall now!! It has grown so much and is still growing.

[@ATLIEN333]

No oooo!!! That's a shade tree...if you live in the city of Atlanta you can get up to 3 trees free from Trees Atlanta for your front lawn.They even come out and plant them for you...btw I bought one of those Crapemyrtle Delta Breeze a few weeks ago as well..Midtown Homedepot😊

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Didn't know but we'll keep that in mind for the future.

[@JamilahandMarcel]

The crapemyrtle you bought is going to look amazing; especially when it's fully grown.

[@Amazing.AsiaDigital]

I love the elephant ears 🌱

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Thank you!!

[@soniaestrada8190]

Hi ya'll first of all I can't wait to see your haircut and Omgggggg am sorry Marcel but I had to laugh when you got smacked by the tree lol. Bye Blue

[@tonytiger7675]

I can't wait to see the hair cut. Purple Hart for my man going through with it.

[@leolataylor5767]

Beautiful creape!

[@ani8256]

The struggle was real Marcel, good job👍🏽

[@cocomonie22]

I love how the elephant ears have grown ❤️

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Thank you! They're sooo big!

[@lawannaleon]

Loving those elephant ears 🥰

[@wolf03rudy]

Hey! How many gallons was the new tree you planted?

[@texaspatty4697]

Did the Black Diamond live?

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Yes it did! It is about 6 ft tall now! It looks great in the spring and summer.

[@texaspatty4697]

@@JamilahandMarcel good to hear! I just bought a similar one and I hope that it, too will prosper. So beautiful.

[@vernettathompson3290]

I couldn't tell how close you planted your tree to your driveway but I had a crepe myrtle close to my driveway and the berries stained my driveway. The only way I could remove the stains was to have my driveway pressure washed. I eventually had the tree removed.

[@jonathonfrazier6622]

Crepe myrtles boost the price of your property by 30% when planted in your front lawn.

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Good to know! They definitely add to the curb appeal of a house!

[@AlwaysDoingSomethingSometimes]

I’m a new subscriber. What state r u in? I was just replanting 5 tiny crape myrtle’s tonight and tried to video it. It was darn hard work. We don’t have to buy any more because our yard is full of them and they give us babies.

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Thank you so much for subscribing! That is really cool. We didn't know crape myrtles could produce an offspring you could replant. We live in Ga!

[@rosalvazamora3772]

I love. Crape mirtle

[@KumarKush69]

Zawzall Makes it easier to take out trees and large shrubs

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Send to our POBox!

[@missylove3294]

Oooohhhh....yeah! Somebody's gettin a hair cut!😄 I know my girl is gonna hook you up...Jamilah looks like she knows how to do hair. My husband is bald so he's lucky.😂 Oh, and the new tree looks good.

[@SonyaWashington-gw5de]

The old tree was not dead you should pot it and see what happens

[@MrzCRiley]

Jamilah, "You did the timber."

[@angelastewart1450]

He’s a brave man😬

[@Atl-jv1kw]

Crape myrtles really are over planted in the south, since I live in the northern extent of their climate range i planted one to make my yard unique and only one other person in my whole neighborhood has one!

[@MrzCRiley]

😆😆

[@KumarKush69]

Would have got that tree out in 5-10 min with my zawzall

[@JamilahandMarcel]

Send us one!

[@autobotdiva9268]

ok marcel, jamilah fixn to shave Mr. , you better kiss and hug wifey, lmaoooooo

[@lawannaleon]

The best way to remove a tree or bush/shrubs is when the ground is soaked really good for easy removal

[@_Cheeba]

Why didnt yall just replant it. you just killed a tree to replace it with another one. that tree didnt need to die like that and be tossed in the woods like trash, it was still alive. NOT COOL. ps i watch all the time great vids

[@JamilahandMarcel]

We did what we wanted for our home.. ps the same way you have the choice to do as you please wherever you reside. You telling us what we didn’t need to do is what’s NOT COOL

[@_Cheeba]

@@JamilahandMarcel well im still glad you planted one instead of it
