Unfortunately, the lighting was super harsh when I was there. The material looks great though. I have videos for lots of these plants on my channel. Swift Creek is a wholesale nursery that sales to a lot of the garden centers and landscapers in North Carolina. Thanks for watching.

Deodar Cedar, “someone else’s problem “ made me laugh out loud!

[@sidekick152]

Love all the redbuds especially the Flame Throwers. Unfortunately, the deer prefer to feast on my Flame Throwers and Rising Sun. Fun fact, while you were away, I found your Irish older highly energetic brother from another mother’s youtube channel called John Lord’s Secret Garden. 😂

[@kelj7711]

Isn’t John hilarious? 😆👍 The way he hacks into things gives me hope for my gardening skills. And, Jim’s advice has already saved soooo many of my plants, too.

[@sidekick152]

Julie H Yes, he always makes me LOL!

[@tomlavin1603]

Thank you for adding the details with notes and zones. Really helpful.

[@JudyG53]

I was drooling over those skip laurels! I planted a row of them several years ago and mine have done so good. Those and anise are my all time favorites in my deer-heavy property. Love em!

[@katiekane5247]

I relocated 2 small volunteer redbud that couldn't grow where they seeded. Hope they were small enough to move, they can live & grow in my yard. Nice shrub & tree lot, thanks for bringing us along. The pot in pot method is genius, removes all the dangers of growing in big pots.

[@HeySakpase]

Great trees. I love those redbuds they are fantastic. I’m a horticulturist..you very inspiring me to start a KZbin channel.

[@missdeeva2266]

Amazing tree farm!

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Nice... I love trees and woody shrubs!

[@mplslawnguy3389]

The color on maples get better with time. Planted a sienna glen 4 years ago and its just starting to come into its own color wise and structure wise.

[@NicoleSmithGardening]

Almost at 100k subscribers 😲🙌🎉 (Also, I love shrub nursery tours 💚)

[@xiomaramartinez3212]

Beautiful trees!!! I wish I have the space for a couple of them

[@zoegarriss5506]

I have always wondered what it’s like when I drive on Cleveland road. Thanks for the wholesale only tour

[@colsen4616]

Somebody else’s charming Christmas tree...fast forward 35 years and it’s now our huge problem. Two of them! Until I figured out they were deodor cedars, I assumed they were another pnw native like the big leaf maple we also have. A whole lot of trees for our modest yard. The birds love them.

[@missdeeva2266]

We used a mix like you suggested. Green Giant, Cryptomeria and Carolina Sapphires

[@diyoregonnowtexas9202]

Any chance of doing a video focusing on irrigating a tree nursery with hundreds of pots?

[@carl767]

Hi Jim. Can you explain their planting container process. Great vids!

[@viewsfrombelow5636]

where do you buy the big black pots in bulk/wholesale and the black matting you have in the video? I cant find wholesale big black planters anywhere. 15 gallon pots?

[@chandlermcroberts1875]

For clump river birches that you are growing, is it better to plant three trees in a pot or prune the one tree to have three competing leaders? I’m trying the one tree three leader approach at the moment. Funny the deer started this experiment!

[@bomashishalisa6434]

Hi, Jim. I'm watching this video right now. I've been trying to identify a tree that grows wild in our subdivision in East Tennessee. I took a picture of the tree and also took a leaf. I'm hoping I can identify it by watching this video. If not, where can I send a picture? Thank you so much.

[@marythomson3229]

I’m looking for. Swift Creek Varigated Privet. None are sold near me because they say they’re “invasive”. I’m sure you would not recommend then if that were so. Any suggestions? I also checked Plantsby mail. Thank you!

[@marywhitfield7553]

Would love a flame thrower redbud.

[@Zil_Senczy]

I love the nursery towards your doing! It's a shame that the lighting was so tough to work with. Have you ever toured the Camellia Forest nursery in chapel Hill? I bet they're going to look really spectacular soon with everything in bloom

[@JimPutnam]

I actually have a Camellia forest tour on the channel. It may be broken into two videos. Thanks for watching

[@schultzestrength]

How big would one of those deodar cedars get it 10 years? Asking for a friend.

[@user-be9bz1vl3x]

Why you skep the River Birch Trees?

[@lisawalters5482]

Beautiful. Is red tip Phetonia the same as the Clyera? Hope at least the spelling was close 🤦🏻‍♀️! Lol. Great tour. I love how they “plant” the trees. Tfs. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@JimPutnam]

No, cleyera is different. They are slower growing than photinia, but they have the advantage of staying alive 😂

[@roberthodge7802]

Perhaps the rare and beautiful oky doky oak.

[@landdesigner4195]

Wish our local wholesalers would get Flame Thrower in. So far no luck her in OK.

[@missdeeva2266]

Do Cryptomeria trees thin out like conifers? I have 3 of them and one of them is getting a little yellow in the center

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, most do as they age.

[@missdeeva2266]

@@JimPutnam thank you for the quick response.

[@corneliusg.3353]

Got a quick question. Does suckers destroy a crepe myrtle tree? I prefer to leave them alone rather than try to cut them. Please help, Thanks!!

[@JimPutnam]

It won't destroy it, but it is better to cut them off. It takes energy from flowering

[@corneliusg.3353]

@@JimPutnam Thanks for your reply. The suckers were in full effect and the crepe still bloomed. Will the suckers turn into part of the trunk of the main tree?

[@heathercole7645]

Can i transplant a fire power nandina now?

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, but it may be better after it is totally dormant

[@ChrisieCouncil]

Is it open to the public?

[@JimPutnam]

They open Saturday in the spring.

[@ChrisieCouncil]

HortTube with Jim Putnam Thanks!

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

Heritage river birch zones 3-7 ??? You sure about that!?

[@JimPutnam]

Yeah. Most people put 3 or 4 to 9 on birches, but I agree with Monrovia that it is to hot in 8 and 9 in the southeast.

[@zunedog31]

75ft tall screening plant ahahaha

[@JimPutnam]

It really does. And it thins at the bottom and becomes a pointless screening plant.
