Love, love you two! I always learn so much in such an entertaining way! Living in the wet PNW, we have and can grow all of these. The house we bought was previously owned by someone who love different conifers, weeping and non. We have at least 25 different kinds and it is wonderful to learn what they are. Thanks again and keep it up! PS This even helped with my weeping mulberry! Also Nootka is a native people group around Vancover Island USA. We have Nootka Roses too that are our native rose.
I call them sad trees. I have 3 weeping youpon Hollie’s and a weeping bald cypress. When I visit my cousins in Oregon and Washington state I love seeing all the sad trees. Just STUNNING. My cousin says I’m smiling from ear to ear when I see one. Sooooo beautiful. I love weird plants!
I love weeping trees, especially conifers! And this video gave me inspiration to remove even more sod and plant more. Currently, I have 3 with the weeping European larch being the most recent one I planted.
You guys better have many more videos. I haven’t looked yet, but I subscribed while watching this. I cannot understand how I haven’t come across this channel before. My channel is nothing but trees. Every app and browser I have is nothing but trees. If my life resembles this when I grow up, I will consider myself a success. Just need an accent and a partner for witty banter
He aprendido algunas cosas, me he reído mucho , y ahora se que existen otras personas en el mundo apasionadas de los árboles llorones como yo. Tengo muchas especies de árboles pendulos en mi jardín en Andalucia (sur de España). He pasado un buen rato con este vídeo. Gracias.
🤣🤣🤣 I love this video!!! I am pursuing guidance on training a weeping blue atlas cedar when I found this. Highly informative and absolutely hilarious fun! Thank you gentlemen! Apical Dominance will be my catch phrase for the week! 😉
21:50 Hello, just a word of warning. I'm only aware of one "Bodnant gardens" and it's in Wales not in England. Just thought I'd raise it because the Welsh people find it grossly offensive to be referred to as English. British is fine. English is not. England refers to a part of the UK. But it's not interchangable with the UK or Britian. Thank you for your understanding
@@thehorti-culturalistsThank you for your lovely and respectful response. Many don't care because there aren't that many of us. But corrections like that mean a lot to the Welsh people like myself. Thank you for your kindness ❤ 🏴❤️🇦🇺
Sir: The mountain range in California is NOT "the Rockies"!! It is the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Rocky Mountains are a north-southish range over by Utah, Colorado, Arizona way.
Re: Rigby’s White Pine, how are the weeping parts obtained in order to graft them to the base stem? Since they do not produce weeping trees from seed, are they all taken from cuttings, as from the original one? I have a weeping Larch which I love, a huge weeping Spruce, and a weeping cross of an Aries and a Picea. I love each of them and each is growing in my garden in a site where it is highlighted. Just 2 days ago I noticed a Larch seedling growing. Potted up, are there chances it will weep or no?
All the weeping forms need to be grafted once discovered, so you have little chance of a weeping seedling from a weeping form. Aren’t they the most interesting forms though! Regards Stephen
Glad I found your channel. I saw an Alaskan weeping spruce at my local nursery and would love to plant it in a container at the corner of my front patio. I previously had a blue spruce in a container and it grew happily for six years until a deer found it. Do you feel that a weeping would do well in a container? Thank you I'm in zone 6.
I don't see why not as most conifers make good tub specimens until they get too big and root prune in g every few years can extend the time. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists I think it's a common thing. When I was able to visit there with a garden group, our tour guide kept talking about England while we were in Wales... as if it was the same. I probably wouldn't be sensitive about it had I not been friends with a Welsh fellow who had strong opinions on such matters. ;-) I've been enjoying your videos. Just discovered you about a week ago.
Have you ever heard of a Abies lasiocarpa 'Blue Waterfall' Subalpine Fir tree? I am having real trouble finding pictures of mature trees. Do you know if there is another name for it that I could research? I bought one from Conifer Kingdom because of it's dwarf size but the picture isn't great. I do love the color though. Thanks for any advice you can give me regarding it.
after watching this video for the 3rd time it generated a new question... i went on a road trip to the upper midwest US and visited many gardens. One nursery with a wonderful conifer display garden said they had given up growing cedrus atlantica varieties ....... i think i understand why because two of the four that i have are stuggling to say the least.. it seems to affect them at the beginning of their life when you first plant them. they defoliate almost immediately and seem to have to start over from scratch. I think once they recover they do fine because the two that i have that are healthy did recover but it might be too early to tell on the latest two whether they will make it or not.... if you have any suggestions i'd love to hear them. thanks......m.
i just planted one called 'sapphire nymph' about a month ago and it did the same thing... the top defoliated after i put it in the ground.... some of the bottom limbs are fine but the top is naked.... i had a weeping one do the same last year and it is recovering now.... hope this will do the same..... it may be the shock of transplanting from the pot to the ground... thanks......m.
@@MDA-rs4uf We had a similar thing happen to some of our trees (an English oak, an Algerian oak, and a maple) around 10 years ago: the dominant leader in each of these trees spontaneously got sick and died over the course of about a year. The side branches were absolutely fine, though, and all three trees recovered and are very healthy today. They just have a lot more character in their form now (growing more wide than tall, with big horizontal branches well suited to climbing). All three of these trees were already established (15+ years old) when it happened. Meanwhile, other oaks and maples right by them were not affected at all. We never did find out what it was.
Could you help me, i always been trying to find what the weeping tree at my house is, it looks like a weeping nookta cypress but its really tall about 50 feet tall, and has the pinecones like one, and has the branches like one, can you tell me what tree it could be?
So I did my research, the tree in my yard is most likely a Post Orford Lawson cedar, I checked the bark, the leaves, and the seeds, looks just what I looked for.
@@mickoz9389You would whine too if it was your country. You wouldn't dare call someone from Pakistan Indian. Or someone from India Pakistani. Calling a Welsh person English is racist. Racism is not welcome in our otherwise wonderful gardening community.
