Tree Tour - Flowering and Shade Trees

Tree Tour - In this video I go through some of the flowering and shade trees that I have added to my landscape over the years. Some are as old as the house and other trees have been planted more recently. Hopefully this will help with ideas for your landscape. Lots of ornamental spring and summer flowering trees.

I made an error on the hardiness for the river birch. It is hardy in zones 4-9. It does like it's own space and it needs additional water or it will definitely loose it's leaves in the late summer.

Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.

@Aiden Samuel instablaster ;)

[@aidensamuel1147]

@Anson Rey I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@aidensamuel1147]

@Anson Rey It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out!

[@ansonrey9234]

@Aiden Samuel glad I could help :D

Holly bloopers are the best bloopers

[@debrawingo8060]

Holly is the sweetest dog!!! I love seeing her in your videos 🐕❤

[@debbiesineath1952]

The lucky person that buys your house is going to love all the trees, flowers, shrubs!

[@robinrummel1359]

Your trees are beautiful! I used to plant foreign trees but started planting more native ones after reading about their benefits for creatures great and small. 🐞🐦🐿️. Pre- native, I planted a line of cryptomeria as a wind break that are beautiful and haven't had bag worms as Leyland Cypress around here do. However, in the winter the wind blows tons of 1-2 foot branchlets off the trees that get snagged in the grass and are miserable to get up!!! ☹️. Love the ending with your dog, she's a sweetheart! ❤️😀

[@kethsharakhlok1976]

Thanks for this educational tour of your home landscaping. Nice lady pet dog you have as well. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@droolbunnyxo9565]

Beautiful collection. I couldn't imagine moving away & leaving all this behind. But at least you'll know what you want to plant again. And many more new things, too. Thanks for the tour ~ seeing the variety of growth habits here is very useful. The pansy redbud is exactly what I've been looking for, for my small backyard. That tree is fantastic!

[@Fauxjob]

Everything is so nice and full, it's been a joy to watch this property and your channel grow, congrats!

[@ramseyridge]

What pretty collection of trees to have in that bit of yard space! I love that

[@cathy8819]

"Don't need to kill everything" Best line! Great info. We have several river birch in our yard, we have very wet soil. But I love the Heritage type. Our river birch is native in PA.

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

I've planted a Dawn Redwood on the corner of our lot by the street. Wow it will get huge. Didn't realize it would grow that quickly in 20 yrs! Guess that's okay though since there is no overhead electric lines where we are. Interesting on the Yoshino. Loving the height because I need it for what I am trying to screen (train tracks)and I am okay with the bottom being thin as we have a fence to block out a train track behind the house and I think the Yoshinos will be great for this application.

[@MrEunderwood]

My inlaws have a massive golden rain tree in their yard that is supposedly only 15 years young. We must not have those beetles in Louisiana because there's hundreds of whips growing everywhere!

[@adrabruzzese7610]

Beautiful trees! Especially the red bud.

[@marcellacoblentz8433]

How in the world will you leave all those wonderful trees? We talk of downsizing but cannot imagine.

[@terrencegibbons3351]

I loved your dawn redwood. I have one in my yard and it’s neon green leaves are awesome

[@soniakirk7909]

Wow...it must be hard to move and leave all those beautiful plants that you have grown for so many years!

[@junesmart7352]

The blossoms must be beautiful in the spring, and the shade is surely wonderful in the heat of summer.

[@sumi646]

I will be in tear to leave all those trees behind

[@jimwesselman]

I do love the Willow Oak, mine grew the same. Took 3-4 years to get established. Thank you Jim for the wonderful video!

[@expandingspirit3652]

That Forest Pansy Redbud is JUST what I’ve been looking for! Love the Myrtles too and wish I could plant one of those gorgeous white oak dogwood-but I don’t think it would survive our harsh Iowa winters. Our tree population here in Cedar Rapids was decimated by the Derecho (land hurricane) that hit us on August 10th. Researching and planning now to start from scratch in a bare yard this spring... thanks so much for sharing all of your gorgeous beauties!

[@marymcfarland717]

Loved the ending, lol!

[@julieh7009]

Love this! Great trees! Holly! 😆

[@tangents6299]

About 14/15 years ago I bought a River Birch and just set it down beside house- for a long time. Well, it took root THROUGH the plastic, and there it has remained, grown and prospered, INCHES from house, and I love it, but...it is getting huge and TALL. I wonder now what to DO...GREAT VID btw! You are SO smart!

[@TheEnchantedWoodnymph1111]

Thank you for your time in making these videos. Truly a helpful resource. Are you going to take any of your favorite trees/ plants with you to your new place?

[@JimPutnam]

A few things are going, but I have a very different idea of what I want to show and teach. It is a small lot and I would like to focus on a more sustainable landscape design.

[@bxr9264]

Xeris included...i hope! Would love to see your choices/techniques.

[@ElizabethM824]

Great tour! Thanks for sharing.

[@JimPutnam]

Thank you.

[@juliegogola4647]

You must be down south to be able to get that pine straw. If you are NOT in the south, where did you get that pine straw? I'm in Pa and can't get it, unless I pay a fortune for a semi truck to bring it to me from the southern US. When I was in Florida a while ago, I bought some and loaded my bff's truck with it, it is long rotted away now, but, it was easy (lightweight) to spread, and kept weeds away really well. I can get eastern white pine needles in fall at the "leaf dump", but that stuff is much less durable and its thin needles. I'm in zone 6a, but, 2 attempts at growing willow oak has failed for me. I have a impressive trunked Dawn Redwood here. I can't grow Crepe Myrtle here, I have a "seven sons flower" which is a shrub/small tree that has bark that looks like the crepe myrtle, but has white flowers. Thanks for sharing.

[@dinoraportillo6863]

great tour beautiful trees

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching.

[@jamesrobbins7976]

Great information Jim. Thank you.

[@GardenDownSouth]

Loved the video, i like seeing the mature sizes of trees. I have several native trees i have been growing that I'm debating on putting in the ground, planting location kills me, i just can't decide where

[@lisawalters5482]

Hahaha. Cute dog. Great trees. 👏🏻🤣👏🏻

[@JimPutnam]

She is a good one🐕. Thanks for watching.

[@alanerpington5698]

I haven't seen any other yoshino cryptomerias that were so bare at the bottom like that. Was it because yours was so close to the house with a lot of shade around it? Would radicans be any different in that regard?

[@McFraneth]

Tall and narrow is "fastigiate".

[@NatureMan1]

Thank you for the video! I have been meaning to look up some of these trees. I do think 'Heritage' River Birch is hardy in Zones 4-9, not 3-7. Since it is more heat tolerant it should tolerate the summers down south much better.

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks. I meant to change it. I copy and paste those labels from one tree to the next. Leaves me vulnerable to not changing something.

[@Jonadam23ify]

Awesome video! I think it would be great if you did a video comparing many of the common shade trees. It took me ages to decide which one I wanted as I only had space for a single shade tree on my lot.

[@JimPutnam]

There are lots of comparison videos I would like to do. I gain more footage every day.

[@Jonadam23ify]

@@JimPutnam I look forward them! Thanks for all of the great knowledge you pass on.

[@karenholmes9182]

What do you think about Maples like October Glory or Autumn Blaze?

[@kathryntornatore4573]

Have you ever seen a Eucalyptus Polyanthemos tree grow in the south? I live in a zone 8b but I can't seem to find any garden center that carries them nor can I find a supplier that sells any online that ship to NC.

[@hhattingh]

In Texas trees are gold.

[@nmjhd1234]

Whats the best tree for shading a backyard? Medium sized with a nice width rather than height. TIA

[@deliverancetothecaptivesja1191]

Anything recommended for zone 6 that can be planted close to a house ( non invasive) but also fast growing for shade?

[@CTYankee66]

Thanks for sharing trees at your home. I have planted 8 trees and 21 shrubs since beginning to watch your channel in 2016. Should I fertilize my deciduous trees in the fall after they lose their leaves? How about evergreens (arborvitaes and magnolia)? I do fertilize in the late winter/early fall. Thanks

[@JimPutnam]

Awesome. Thanks for watching. I only fertilize in the late winter. I think that slow and steady is always best

[@johnnyutah1053]

I planted a snow fountain weeping cherry this spring. It got a fungus that made all the leaves turn brown. I treated the tree with copper fungicide a clipped all the leaves. Have you ever seen that on a weeping snow fountain and if so did it recover the following year?

[@JimPutnam]

I haven't seen it, but make sure that clean up the leaves after they drop off. Weirdly, it could bloom and still be in trouble. I have seen that happen many times. The new foliage will tell the tale.

[@johnnyutah1053]

HortTube with Jim Putnam I got all the leaves up and removed all the leaves so it looks pretty dormant right now. I even put some compost down around it. Be a bummer if it dies but if it does It will give me a reason to plant a vanilla twist redbud or a lavender twist redbud.

[@jaylutz1357]

Just left a garden center where the guy told me to stay away from blue conifers in my area (7b, just north of Atlanta). Was wondering your opinion. I have a Fat Albert spruce, which is doing fine even in the heat which is why I was surprised

[@JimPutnam]

Most blue conifers don't do well in the south. Arizona Cypress is an exception. That is not to say that there aren't spaces that they would potentially thrive. I have always considered the Atlanta area more temperate than Raleigh. Same zone, but our high temperatures tend to be higher than yours.

[@jaylutz1357]

Thank you. See you in October!

[@TheNehran]

Figs are not shrubs, unless your shrubs get 20m high!

[@Morbidwolf2011]

Be safe during the hurricane it’s only a 2 won’t be so bad just stay away from the ocean.

[@JimPutnam]

Thank you

[@dorindajenkins7825]

👋😀

[@GalacticGlowPutt3]

Why are you moving?

[@JimPutnam]

Because the suburbs are great for raising kids, but not for living👍

[@amandasue6500]

You want to be in the video, don't show them your butt, okay. 😂 She is so cute and doesn't care what you say. 🧡
