Australian native species garden visit: Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne.

[@Kay-qt2id]

No you can’t top that, fabulous boys. I’m keen to learn more about Australian plants as have gardened for years but know so little about our own species. Maybe Cranbourne team need to do a KZbin channel educating us on what we have here!

Thak you for this visit. It is so nice to spotlight all these gardens especially for those of us who do not live in Australia but with this now acquired knowledge will add them to our list to visit when travel to Australia. Looking forward to more garden visits in the future.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching - we have more planned as spring progresses!

The plectranthus doesn't mind the summer here in Tallahassee.Does well but freezes down in winter. But sprouts back spring This year 2023 after 16 F in December 2022 it came back well. Nice video!

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Great to get feed back from different areas, always so much to learn. Regards Stephen

Great video, so interesting. I can’t wait to visit this garden.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

You should! Regards Stephen

[@GardeningatDouentza]

What a super place and wonderful video. I enjoyed every minute. You reminded me of some plants I must get again - the plectranthus and Grevillea rosmarinifolia. I'm off to look up info now on that beauty you featured at the end of your video.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching Rachel! It is spectacular and the flowers are enormous!

[@jacqinthegarden]

Hi there, great video, loved it. What are the trees at the 3.50min mark please? Are they white cedar? Thanks

[@thehorti-culturalists]

They are an Australian Ficus microcarpa var. hillii . Regards Stephen

[@besottedorchids3605]

What a great memory..yrs ago we bought leatherwood honey it was amazing. I believe the ginkgo tree was with dinosaurs.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Yes the Gingko is an ancient tree but only now native to Asia . Regards Stephen

i saw an araucaria cross between angustifolia and araucana yesterday at the south carolina botanic garden. I am fairly sure it was indeed a cross even though it was labeled angustifolia. I say that because it looks very different than the straight angustifolia that i have in my yard. It looked more like araucana with more stiff leaves which are shorter and fatter than angustifolia. I understand that cross is being tested because the araucana will not survive in our non draining soil and the cross apparently does just fine... there is one at the Raulston arboretum in Raleigh NC and my guess is that the SC botanic garden got one as well. Just a guess... i also wanted to comment on your ulmus parviflora "frosty which i also have .... i love it ...... mine has smaller leaves than yours but in spring it does look like it's covered in snow...

[@thehorti-culturalists]

We have had known Araucaria angustifolia x A. bidwillii here in Australia which is a stunning tree so I don’t see why the cross you mention isn’t likely. Frosty is a favourite with me as well. Regards Stephen

[@MDA-rs4uf]

any thoughts as to why your ulmus parviflora 'frosty' has leaves that are literally 3 or 4 times bigger than this one here...??? the leaves on this one are less than 0.5 inches long and wide... there are cultivars with very small leaves so perhaps this is a variegated small leaf cultivar ?? i thought it was 'frosty' but who knows...

[@mickoz9389]

Ah yes the drought ''tolerant'' Plectrathus argentatus. The first plant to wilt in my garden. 😁

[@joseenoel8093]

Hi from Montreal, I'm a chick forest technician with a climate change denier relative in Australia 🇦🇺, wonder how that's working out for him, 😼..... I've a kiwi plant (vine) here which flowers!

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching and good luck with the kiwi!

[@joseenoel8093]

Hubby likes to cut it back, I majored in Sylviculture, bet you know what that means!

[@besottedorchids3605]

I thought the orange clay/sand area was beautiful

[@thehorti-culturalists]

you obviously have better taste than Matthew! Regards Stephen
