What shrubs do you think I should consider adding here? Here's the criteria: hardy to zone 5, deer resistant (at least mostly), nothing that requires special fertilizing or pruning treatment (i.e. no hydrangeas or roses), something fairly compact as well as something that is more moderately sized, and nothing too flashy. Multi-season interest a requirement.

@shod61 Год назад

Proud Berry Coralberry Symphoricarpos sp. is beautiful. Cut it back early spring if needed and it grows like crazy. Beautiful pink berries in fall, bluish colored leaves. It will get huge if you don’t cut it back but that’s just more beauty to look at.

@aliciab.3262 Год назад

Looking wonderful. Deer Resistant and zone 5 = Deutzia, Spirea, Forsythia (Show off, 36") , Viburnum (a few varieties that will work), Lilac . Each of these have a few variations in sizes in variety. Some better than others. I know you will pick something wonderful. From one flip flop wearing gardener to another. I am in Indiana 6B.

@cmk616182 Год назад

What about red twig or attic fire dogwood? It would add more winter interest and some lower screening in the winter.

@urchinsushi2041 Год назад

GINGER WINE NINEBARK

@MarylineMallet Год назад

Maybe some haskaps! :)

@lorrainecourtney4589 Год назад

No cages or burlap, just rootball, love it !!!❤❤❤

@jenniferm.5502 Год назад

This is one of the best gardening videos I’ve watched. Hearing your thought process is invaluable. Looks great, I’m looking forward to following its process over the years.

@SteveL2012 Год назад

Thank you on behalf of the trees for removing the burlap and cages completely!

@ildikomehes6658 Год назад

I am obsessed with Fothergilla and think shorter or medium varieties would look amazing. Really beautiful job so far!

@lisastone2537 Год назад

Have you seen Blue Shadow Fothergilla? It is absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t resist buying one the other day.

@ildikomehes6658 Год назад

Yes, I love it! Looks beautiful for 3 seasons.

@mdwalker3034 Год назад

I have Mt Airy Fothergilla, zone 7/MD. My deer nibble the leaf & flower buds in February/March here. If you spray during that time (or perhaps later for you in WI), they will flower & put out flush new leaf growth. The deer leave mine totally alone, once the leaves are out.

@HowsItGrowing Год назад

This entire space is coming together fantastic. Such a massive undertaking. I think you need a nice vacation Erin. Let those roots settle and go have a few big G&T and some R&R. 💜

@ladikmk Год назад

That looks so great, and it’s not even completed yet. Ninebarks and Viburnums are two of my favorite shrubs. I just love the berries in Autumn on the Viburnums for the birds. Whatever you choose Erin, I’m sure it will be just perfect. It looks fantastic already.

@greatgardensforall Год назад

Love how disciplined you were with this project!! It's going to be absolutely beautiful! As for the wooly adelgid I have a feeling it maybe too cold for it where you are located. I spoke to an arborist and she said they don't like the real cold winters. Great job!

@TheImpatientGardener Год назад

I couldn’t have done it without your help and expertise!

@miajoyce11 Год назад

Gorgeous mix of fullness and height. I’m sure it will be thrilling for you.

@joannalewis4391 Год назад

I love that two of my favorite "garden ladies" are friends!❤ And yes, that is how I refer to you when discussing these videos with my kids.😊

@anitan6461 Год назад

Itea “Little Henry” is a beautiful 4’ x 4’ shrub for your border if it works in your area. The plantings you have are gorgeous. Can’t wait to see this all fill in.

@janereel1903 Год назад

Buttonbush (cephalanthus) Sugar Shack. A rugged native that pollinators love. Interesting flowers and then berries.

@annkendall528 Год назад

So glad you took off all the burlap and cages before you planted.

@chaley5588 Год назад

Amber Jubilee Ninebark is a fantastic shrub. It gets 5-6' tall, which may be a little taller than will work in your area. It is a shrub that doesn't scream look at me, but when you do take notice of it it is beautiful. I love watching their colors change from spring, summer and fall and the small cluster of reddish berries are perfect in the winter. Your project looks absolutely stunning! All the new tree plantings already look like they were always supposed to naturally be there. I'm so excited for you!

@Bj90216 Год назад

I have 2 varieties of these. They are pretty but definitely not deer resistant.

@samanthascott712 Год назад

I have 3 and then another one of those used to screen the ground of my neighbors side yard which they leave bare. The deer haven’t eaten them that I can tell, but I have other things they like better. I love the orange color in spring

@Kaykay04822 Год назад

I have a ninebark “Diablo” and it’s beautiful. Dark dark foliage with white flowers.

@robertparker8669 Год назад

Awesome collaboration with the neighbors

@dannakuhr9718 Год назад

I Love Planting trees! I Love that you removed the burlap and wire from the root balls. It always bugs me to see planters Not removing it. Great video Erin. I always look forward to the next one. I have learned so much from you.😊

@venusgarden959 Год назад

Fantastic amazing🌹🌹❤

@annelarson160 Год назад

Beautiful screen, very thoughtfully designed with tough as nails plants. I always remind people (nursery person here) that they put trees in containers so they won't fall out, not that for tree growth purposes. Always locate the flare if before digging if you can. What a huge project--no wonder you were tired as hell!

@kathleenreynolds6492 Год назад

I immediately thought of cotoneaster. It’s a non-flashy, non-demanding, nice looking workhorse in my yard. Sweetly pretty in early summer with some flowers which turn into small red berries. Very drought tolerant, shape stays nice without pruning, 4-ish tall and wide here in high altitude (yes, that makes a difference). I checked and it’s “not favored by deer”. I have had it turn up voluntarily in several other areas of my yard. Two I’m very grateful for, the third wasn’t hard to remove.

@b.a.d.2086 Год назад

We have lots of deer in my area and the cotoneaster gets left strictly alone!

@roseellenthomas140 Год назад

There are so many beautiful viburnums!!!

@user-gt8mh4ic2c Год назад

I just love that you keep in the first takes 😂😂

@sarahbremer1196 Год назад

I love that hemlock! It all looks great!

@sydneykasmar Год назад

This project is incredible. I watched the video when you walkled us through this idea and seeing all the trees in place I thinks it's perfect. So nice that you are using native trees. It will allow the space to look that much more natural rather than a display.

@dpfilzen Год назад

While I don’t have a lot of experience with Ninebark, I am really liking it’s screening properties between my neighbor and my house. A variety of them would be fun in one area.

@tshockmom69 Год назад

Great mixture. Can’t wait to see them Grow.

@paulamaher1633 Год назад

I am partial to artic fire and artic sun dogwoods

@eileenhugelier4095 Год назад

Viburnum! Deer resistant and bloom nicely. Of course protection from your deer is very important here!!! Looks great!

@anna-marielarson4968 Год назад

I am excited to see how this grows into itself!

@rajawy Год назад

Consider buttonbush for your empty spot. There is a dwarf version of 'Legend of the Fall' Fothergilla called 'Legend of the Small' which might satisfy the front of the bed. As a bonus, in fall those shrubs have spectacular color, which will echo some of the beautiful color you'll be getting from the Firespire Hornbeam trees. The whole project looks beautiful. Love your channel!

@joyworthen Год назад

OMG that AUGER IS SO COOL!

@kaymack5304 Год назад

Such a beautiful, exciting project.

@sandyg8794 Год назад

Hi Erin! That area is looking really nice! I really like the trees you've chosen. I'm looking forward to seeing the shrubs you chose. How satisfying to get 14 trees planted in 4 hours. I'm glad you guys had help. Thank you so much for sharing!

@sunnywang8877 Год назад

I recommend PW’s weigela, wine and roses. I live in Ontario, Canada, zone 5. Weigela comes back for us faithfully every year and it’s carefree.

@susanhorn3910 Год назад

You are total class, Erin. Looks great!

@shanamatteucci3980 Год назад

SPECTACULAR VIDEO!!!

@rosemaryfoster3101 Год назад

Fantastic job and beautifully planned Erin. I'm loving all the textures and height variations. I'll add my vote for Nine Bark too !! You are a wonderful inspiration in my garden and I love your "down to earth" attitude :)

@greenthumbelina7331 Год назад

Erin, for shrubs in the 4' range, possibly plant several Mockorange shrubs, such as the Illuminati Sparks, Illuminati Arch, or Illuminati Towers. Any of these would add a lovely scent and since you already have white flowers in that area, it wouldn't distract the eye. They are all hardy in Zones 4-7, I think. I hope you and Mr. Much More Patient have a great weekend. ~Margie🤗

@kshields273 Год назад

This is going to be so beautiful! Thank you for sharing the process. I’m looking forward to seeing how it looks over the coming months and years.

@mikewharton5001 Год назад

I love Philadelphus/Mockorange. It will be covered with the white flowers in early summer and then blend back into the background. You could always do one of the white variegated cultivars though. One of my all time favorites.

@ginnysulya9805 Год назад

I agree with this suggestion it fits the bill for the greenery you are looking for and the blessing of the lovely blooms and aroma in late spring.

@kathystarnes6744 Год назад

Yes! Low scape mound Aronia would be beautiful there

@GardenKath Год назад

I love your tree choices! How about Hamamelis virginiana? It might be too open, but on the other hand, you've got layers going on. Aronia will sucker, but maybe you want some of that? There's also Lindera benzoin, which is nice and wide, and has the bonus of red berries for the birds (and is a host plant for swallowtails!).

@dwoodbury Год назад

Love the winterberries. Love the hydrangeas; I really like the tall panicle variety: Tardava. Always love David Austin Roses and elderberries.

@kristopherfante9646 Год назад

Red chokeberry or black chokeberry shrubs are beautiful and very easy to grow.

@nancymichaels6906 Год назад

I love the blue kazoo Spirea because of the bluish green foliage which is a little darker and the flowers are just a bonus in the spring!

@vbrown1889 Год назад

Only 4 hours!! Great work, Erin (& co)! I'm putting my votes in for Spiraea and Physocarpus.. There's such an amazing range of cultivars to choose from!

@lisacharbonneau6790 Год назад

I love aronia melanocarpa, especially 'Black Magic'

@michelebushnik2874 Год назад

Wow thats a major make over, and its going to be stunning!❤

@elizabethkellerman969 Год назад

looks great! how about new jersey tea, mock orange, oakleaf hydrangea, or elderberry. Those are lovely native shrubs.

@robertparker8669 Год назад

Wow. This is going to be amazing.

@maurapichett3470 Год назад

Looks awesome, Erin. Love the collaboration between you and Yulia. No improvement needed on your great choices. Other suggestions might be Abelia, Deutzia, and Fothergilla. I just added a Sage leaf Willow and that might fit well also.The foliage is blue and narrow and gets a sort of catkin that opens burgandy

@chrystalsabin4091 Год назад

I’m thinking spires, I personally love that plant.

@karenbergstrand2772 Год назад

I'm very partial to Fothergilla gardenii -- perfect size, lovely late spring flowers and great fall color.

@taranorton6769 Год назад

Ditto on Ninebark! TOUGH plants with some show when they flower but not for that long of a time. Find them tough as nails and many varieties. Little Henry is also a nice choice.

@joanotto9984 Год назад

I just love that you are using free chips. I ask the tree trimmer trimming along the power lines in March is I could get their chips. I got 5 loads of free chips. Enough to last me a couple years or more.

@ladylyonteeth3952 Год назад

Good luck Erin. Have you considered throwing in some fun little conifers for that area? Low maintenance, and they would talk to the others. So jealous of that glorious stone pine. Also, have you considered Nandina? That’s one to stay very low key until the fall color. ❤

@sltal53 Год назад

I love all your new trees. A swoop of dwarf mountain laurels would be lovely. I have “Elf” in zone 5b that grows to 3 feet. Flowers later in spring with light pink flowers that fade to white with time. Beautiful and well behaved shrub

@paulotto2475 Год назад

I would also second on Fothergilla, like Mt Airy, although not sure how it does on calcareous soils. The planting looks fantastic. Looks like a great place to let the Mertensias have a bit of space.

@peggydove8756 Год назад

I love the trees you selected!!!

@catherinekuczmarski3114 Год назад

Maybe a variegated dogwood bush. I do think it needs something light looking. Brilliant work!

@GardeningSpirit Год назад

Gorgeous choices!! I would vote for more viburnums, aronias/ red &/or black chokeberries, spicebush/ lindera benzoin, more winterberries, sumacs? can you grow northern bayberry? Beach plum/prunus maritima? Kalmia latifolia? Mountain Laurel? Love natives so much!!

@adz5bneweng589 Год назад

Really, really beautiful Erin!

@rkr5106 Год назад

Bobo & Wee White Hydrangeas are GREAT small shrubs.

@carolynclark8780 Год назад

My second suggestion is another West Coast native, Mahonia nervosa (low Oregon grape). It's hardy to zone 5, stays about 2' tall, and is evergreen. It has sparse yellow flowers for a short time in spring, which I don't find very noticeable. It gets dusty blue berries in the fall, which the birds love. The foliage can take on a maroon tinge during cold winters. It thrives on zero care, does well in full sun to deep shade, and survives our summer drought season (in Seattle) with no watering but also does well in moist conditions. I think it's relatively unpalatable to deer but we don't deal with that here in the city, so check your sources to be sure. Its only downside are its sharply pointed leaves, but in an area where no one will be brushing against them, it's only an issue for weeding. I always wear gloves.

@TheImpatientGardener Год назад

I have one and it gets smaller every year! I think it’s a pH issue.

@joanieG6 Год назад

You plan is looking fabulous

@jcbfree Год назад

I have a ninebark that gets yellow leaves. I love it. It is tall but they have a smaller version I think its called Darts Gold 4 to 5 ft

@carmenbailey1560 Год назад

So impressed with the machinery that you got to help plant your trees and brushes. Your colllection looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 👍❤️😊

@jkniederberger5390 Год назад

We need to add some foundation planting shrubs on our west side that can get fairly tall, and I am finding these comments super helpful!

@sallywoods7131 Год назад

So glad you took off all the burlap & wire cages from the trees and explained it. I don’t understand the logic to planting with that stuff. What, you save time and effort?! Not worth risk of the roots binding up. The site so far looks fantastic. Kudos to your design and thorough planning 👏🙌

@alpackapalooza Год назад

Mountain laurel are my favorite evergreen shrub at 4’ and I think they look great next to hydrangeas. 😊

@laurieanne9712 Год назад

O my! Absolutely LOVE this!! What a change for the better ! And don't you love it when you can recycle and have the gorgeous chips from the old trees? What about PW's Bloomerang Lilac? Not showy, really. It stays 4-6' tall and wide, hardy to zone 3. I have it, takes some shade and would give you just a little color in the spring with sporadic reblooming "sproinks" that I love. And it's that smell, just that smell I need in the spring......

@laurieanne9712 Год назад

O and no pruning, no nothing!

@judygraham2561 Год назад

I would suggest Nine barks. There are dark red leaves and other which are light green.

@cathrynkolkman1811 Год назад

Beautiful Erin! Hope all goes well with the trees & shrubs. ☀️🌲☀️

@louinwy1 Год назад

For a suggestion large shrub (up to 10’ high)- what about Tartarian Honeysuckle (Lonicera tartarica). It can be invasive, but provides flower and berry interest with a pretty blue green leafy rounded structure.

@sandrakay8540 Год назад

Amsonia Hubrichtii. Newer variety String Theory. Fantastic texture all year. Then outstanding fall color. A wave or grouping would look great.

@beckydunlavey5623 Год назад

We love our Standing Ovation Serviceberry. It's tall and narrow (4' x 15') and do great in zone 5 with minimal care.

@pamelavalente3731 Год назад

Crimson pigmy would look great!

@jenniferspoor2402 Год назад

I think little henry sweetspire (itea virginica) and a dwarf oakleaf hydrangea would look nice.

@t.e.mccall8886 Год назад

Ninebark, great color, great bark, deer resistant. Doesn't get gigantic, can be trimmed. I cut 1/3 off each year to keep it about 8 feet tall.

@ew6169 Год назад

Shrub suggestion: How about ninebarks? Area is looking great!

@jessbeth73 Год назад

It already looks so good! My ideas for shrubs: Bird's Nest Spruce and Dwarf Mugo Pine.

@krissitaylor Год назад

It looks beautiful! Gave me some ideas for my own backyard for privacy.

@melonieroe7310 Год назад

Looks so good. Great job. I am in hot dry southern California. My garden's theme... Drought tolerant...so it is interesting watching your ideas and designs. Enjoyed this video!!!

@judymckerrow6720 Год назад

It looks very good Erin. Even better after they settle in. I love the trees you picked out .🌸💚🙃

@michelesteen221 Год назад

Looks beautiful already! How great to have neighbors on board with your ideas. How about some mungo pines in that area?

@terrivance8750 Год назад

Some of my fav shrubs: Callicarpa (Beautyberry), PW's Weigela "Vinho Verde," any of the dwarf varieties of Oakleaf Hydrangea. Also, my fav evergreen groundcovers: Wintergreen (beautiful dark leaves & yummy berries) & any of the blue groundcover varieties of Juniper.

@sharonsinclair1549 Год назад

Sweetspire would be gorgeous.

@tpdoolin8445 Год назад

I must have missed the teardown vid. Everything looks fantastic! If I'm not mistaken, when Jim Putnam interviewed you last year (one of my favorite of his interviews. Maybe one day you could visit and interview him at his property?), I think you asked him what he might suggest adding to your property and I believe he said Clethra, tho I don't remember him suggesting 17 :)). Anyway, looking forward to seeing how this area develops. Best of luck.

@TheImpatientGardener Год назад

I definitely want to crash Jim's garden! And I think it was Clethra that he suggested. I'll have to see what he thinks about me going in whole hog.

@tpdoolin8445 Год назад

We do like crossover vids! I think because you both have well-established garden channels and there's mutual respect, your joint videos just seemed to flow so easily and were full of useful design info. So thanks again to you and Jim! (Maybe you could submit a question to him for his weekly Q & A regarding your plethora of clethra? And we could all enjoy his response...)

@carolfield8803 Год назад

I think it's so handsome. To make your other gorgeous gardens the sight you want people to stare at, well I believe you've done it. You're amazing. 😊

@inesrodriguez2023 Год назад

Viburnum Nudum Winterthur beautiful foliage 🍃 awesome berries and fall color, beautiful selection of trees and shrubs Erin 👌

@Nancy-zk9dj Год назад

Thanks for showing The Cornelian Dogwood. I think i need to move mine. I thought I'd keep it trimmed , but i like the way yours is looking 👍❤👍

@MrsTitina Год назад

Fantabulous ❤

@dawnwalz9476 Год назад

Sweet scrub

@gillbrown3523 Год назад

It looks fantastic Erin, I can’t help with shrubs as I’m in Australia but I can’t wait to see what you do.😊

@21shalimar Год назад

i love this! matter of fact I am going to steal a part of this and plant this plan at our cottage to block a very unsightly view of my neighbors shed and pile of clap trap! Question, no Holly? I may be partial but i love the the dark shiny leaves and love the winter red berries, it doesn't hurt that the birds love it too!!

@judithkeyes7232 Год назад

Red or yellow stemmed dogwood and or Physocarpus. The border looks great.

@davidhatfield5714 Год назад

I vote for gold mop head cypress! Love how it drapes. Mine grew pretty fast in pass 5 years and I’m so happy with them, I did nothing but make sure enough water.

@patriciathome7857 Год назад

I absolutely love your selection of trees for this project!! I have always wanted a Swiss Stone and I left a beautiful Pagoda dogwood behind at our last home. I like your idea of the aronia...we have a couple varieties and I think the texture in the area by the hydrangea. I love fothergilla as well but maybe not near the hydrangea. Can't wait to see everything come together! I am tired watching you!! (Yay you to insist on removing everything from the root ball)

@marybeth4002 Год назад

I absolutely love everything you have done with this space. The collaboration between you and your neighbors is encouraging - being able to work together especially when you noted that this is really mostly their property. Great team work!!!!! I find this project both encouraging and inspiring. No suggestions... I think you've got this!

@carolemaguire644 Год назад

I think several of the viburnums would work for your space. The Korean Spice has an incredible scent and is a beauty -might be a nice choice for the back spot.

@toddwiese7023 Год назад

Fun to see your thoughts in action on how you plant this part of the garden. Ideas on color, durability etc The “they look like hell right now, but they’ll be fine” comment gave me a chuckle. I like that confidence. Looks great.

@christinenovack6048 Год назад

The space looks fantastic & is coming together beautifully! What about a dark leafed Ninebark like Diablo & maybe a yellow evergreen like a gold mop cypress? These will add more foliage color, too.

@cneilson4488 Год назад

I have been so excited to see this new space take shape. It did not disappoint! And has inspired some tree options for my own yard and future projects. Thank you so much for taking us along on the journey! I just love it.
