Thanks for watching!

My wallet is really going to "hurt" after this video as I need to create a boundary to my renter neighbors that don't seem to know where their yard ends and mine begins-LOL! Thanks, Jim & Stephanie.

YESSSSSS!!! MUCHH appreciated Jim, my PERFECT video..HIDE THE NEIGHBORS YEAR AROUND!💚🤍💚

I am really, very much so appreciating these types of videos. I love having a bank of options when I’m looking to fill a certain spot in my garden and instead of having to spend a large amount of time researching I can cut that down 75% and reference these videos! They are quite handy. Thank you!

Camellias do fabulously as screening plants, and they often bloom when other plants don't. So many great plants, not enough garden.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect for the series on screening plants! We are in desperate need of privacy from an unpleasant neighbor that is very creepy and does not try to hide the fact that they are watching us the minute we come outside. It has been a challenge to screen plant as they are across the street from us. (Our garden is on our side yard) Most screening tutorials seem to offer suggestions for back yards and along property or fence lines. We’re planning a berm along the front to create a ‘secret garden’ effect. (Your circle lawn is our inspiration🤗) We don’t want the front yard to look like an overgrown abandoned lot or a fortress, so a variety or strategically placed evergreen & conifers will be the solution. Your videos are packed with plant variety…Thank you for sharing your knowledge and artistry!

Your videos are so helpful. I've been watching your channel for a few years now and you have helped me to get my trees to thrive in this NC clay soil. I find myself coming back to your videos each year as a reference and to look out for new things. Thank you.

Hi Jim putnam and Stephany, those plants are beautiful, have so many functions. Open many ideas for gardeners. Thank Jim putnam , for your help and shares with so many people.

If you live in zone 7 or warmer, you need to bookmark this video. I guarantee you’re going to need it at some point. Stellar job on this Jim.

Thank you so much for these great rundowns! Look forward to the narrow growing and ground cover videos

I dream of a beautiful backyard when I watch your videos! Thanks for the information and inspiration!!!

Jeffanie we LOVE these collection videos - super helpful to make choices! Thank you.

Good Morning Jim!! Thank you for this information!! Thank you for showing trees that are great for zones 5- 6!! Love your videos!!👍❤

This is perfect. Just the video I was looking for 🌿

Phenomenal detailed breakdown, thanks for taking the time to do this!

Thank you Jim always always recommend mixing the screen plants thank you so much

We are putting lots of new plants in our landscape over the next several years. I’ll end up watching these videos at least a dozen times! 😂 thanks so much for doing these, it’s a tremendous help when deciding what to buy.

The home we purchased 3 years ago is a light green double wide set up high with a brick foundation. Dwarf Burfordi were planted on the east & south exposures, about 3 feet apart & 2 feet from the foundation. Looks like they were chainsawed down once before & while the birds like them, they're a maintenance nightmare. There's 15' of foundation to cover. Trying to get the family to help replace these. The roots are everywhere! Great series going on Jim!

Great video lots of good info for each plant. I like the fact that you showed the blooms .

I love these videos based around options for various garden solutions. Can you do one for shrubs and plants that grow well under deciduous trees?

I really like these videos! Great especially if you're looking for a certain size.

Love the size specific video. They are all perfect for wha I need over the next few years.

Agreed on the lorapetulum! We have 5 in front of our kitchen windows, planted about 4 years ago. They’re atleast 5.5 feet tall now, and just growing like crazy. They’re gorgeous, though. We plan to let them grow to atleast 6.5”.

Thank YOU!

I needed this, thank you!!

So many beautiful zone 7 plants make me envious due to fact I live in zone 5 b…lol. Thanks for the video.

My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video.

Love all those plants, especially that xmas tree plant

Beautiful shrubs 🥰

Thank you for talking about how the Emerald Greens aren't for the south. I live in 7b and have wanted to grow these so bad, but I've watched my neighbors over the years and every single one I've seen planted has gotten burned sides or all sides or they've gotten all thinned out -- all eventually removed. Thanks for putting it out there because I keep thinking I'll figure out the reason they're dying and can grow them and not make those mistakes. 😃

Viburnum awabuki 'Chindo' tolerates shade and resists deer browsing, but I have found that deer bucks will tear it apart with their antlers during the autumn rut. One of the best screens for our shady, deer infested garden is Osmanthus × fortunei because it will tolerate shade and drought, resists deer browsing and has not been a target for deer antlers. It's a hybrid of one of the plants featured in this video, Osmanthus fragrans, with the smaller, more cold hardy, and spinier O. heterophyllus. The resulting hybrid has the large size and large leaves like the O. fragrans parent, but has the spiny leaves and cold hardiness from the other parent. Rock solid plant in this area.

Thanks for the helpful info and great video.👍🌻💙

Thanks for the video.

Once again an incredible resource! Thank you Jim & Steph for your expertise!

Very helpful. Thanks

i laughed at the 03:19 picture. imagine waking up to that... we dont have deer here but it's pretty funny

Will you be trimming your dogwood up into a tree? Can’t believe how big it’s gotten. I got one bc of you.. it died. So I got another one. Excited to see it get as big as yours.

Emerald Snow Lorapetalum grows in a loose slight drooping pyramid shape when not pruned. I planted one 5 years ago it's 7' tall. I could almost call it weeping..

So helpful and informative! The Steed Holly sounds interesting, but when I looked up online they said you need male, female to produce berries, but couldn't guarantee they were sending a male...(Encouraging you to buy more than 2!) seems like they would be able to know that...Since you were in the nursery business, wondered if you have insight into that.

We planted Vibernum and was covered in mites every year had to pull them out.

Hi Jim. Thank you for all your videos. I am new in gardening and they help me a lot. I moved to Florida 1 year ago (zone 9b) They say - everything grows in Florida, but actually it is not 😂. I am looking for screen - fast growing tree / shrub for sunny area to hide my neighbor’s back yard. But the problem is, that area gets soggy in rain season. I tried couple viburnum varieties but they did not survive. Any idea what plant could grow successfully in this are?

Very informative video! Would you recommend any tall evergreen deer resistant trees for screening that tolerate full shade. I need a few to mix with my Nellie Stevens Hollies . Thanks!

Jim, Great channel! I"=m glad you included part shade/sun options. Do you have any recommendations for part-full shade options. I have a bunch of tall loblolly pines (bare trunks) at our property line in Wake Forest, but would love to underplant or plant evergreen screening plants just in front of those pines to provide privacy year-round. Any suggestions?

Need more plants that can do zone 6! Enjoy the video anyway.

For these self fruiting hollies, just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly that two of the exact same cultivar may help increase fruit production some? This concept of how to get berries/drupes/fruit on some plants has definitely been one of the more difficult things for me to grasp as I've gotten more interested in gardening! (it's the main reason I haven't been able to decide on a viburnum(s) for my garden yet)

Hi Jim, I'm in 7A w/ good ol' VA red clay. I learned the hard way w/ Dragon Lady holly that, when a label gives height/width, you need to add the words "in 10 years!" 😏 That said, how wide is the Autumn Rocket camillia expected to ULTIMATELY get? Can it take being in a moist environment? Thank you! 😊

If you were going to plant a fence boarder to keep the deer out; what would be your favorite choices?

I've been taking notes on your videos to come up with a planting plan/design for my newly built house.. I'd like to give a suggestion.. sometimes I pause the video to write down the spelling/words you put on the screen. When you pause RU-vid, it covers the bottom of the screen so I would suggest putting your words at the top of the screen (I hope that makes sense).

hi, any recommendations for a zone 5 environment where we can have months never above freezing then summers in the high 90's*F for a few months? Looking for some type of evergreen such as Cypress, Fur, Spruce, pine, arborvitae etc that grows fast. I have a 150 ft fence line I'd like to plant. The big challenge is the fence goes East to West and I'll be planting on the North side of the fence. So even if planted a couple feet away from the fence there is still several months in winter where the plants will be in full shade. And in summer they will get a full sunrise to sunset day of sun. Recommendations please. Thank you.

We want to put Nellie stevens holly up along the road in front of our horse pasture. We live in Ga zone 8. What’s say you? I love the fact that they are evergreen all year.

You don't happen to have a brother in Michigan do you? Perfect screens for zone 7. I wish there was a thorough survery show like this in zone 5..

Are you planning to publish plant videos for shade trees and ornamental trees? Please do.

What would be a complementary trees to the Wax Myrtle in the landscape. I need 2 more something 😊…

I’ve heard you say many times that plants don’t have an off switch. I have a paper bark maple that’s been 8 feet tall for thirty years. What’s up with that?

Thank you, I need screen ideas ASAP! Neighbors drive me nuts . I’m nice, but I would like some privacy! 😅

Please name us some other good combo planting. I have a 750 ft line that needs your help. TY so much. Oh I’m in zone 8b

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a small tree at our other house that I just loved for early summer fragrance. I can’t find one to buy anywhere. I THINK it was called a Russian olive, I sure would like to plant one at this house. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃 zone 6 a

Yep the living fence between me and one of my neighbors looks like 3:15 😫

This was so helpful! Would the Nellie Stevens holly grow in shade?

I also planted 3 steven nelly which appears to go nowhere in two years now. When can I expect these to leap and take off?

I live near Athens, Georgia. What can you tell me about Italian Cypress?

Great video! I have an important question about "Dwarf" Burford Holly . I have this as a foundation planting. How close is too close to the foundation? Do I need to worry about damage to the foundation with the root system? I understand that at some point I'll have to work to keep the Hollys in check pruning for hieght. I have 3 on either side of my porch that have been in the ground for 16 months 😕

Nice video but it would be very helpful to know what soil and moisture level all these plants prefer.

I’m looking for something that is very tall, a fast grower that can handle clay soil and doesn’t require a lot of water. We have an open farm field behind us, in the winter we get horrible west winds blowing snow that dumps right in our yard creating huge snow drifts in the most inconvenient places. I’m just wondering if you might have a suggestion? Zone 6a 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃 I have a huge area to cover. 🍂🍁🍂💚🙃

I am in New York, What do you suggest for screening fast growing deer resistant and very economical

What about jr or baby green giants?

Do you sell plants at a nursery? I live in Fayetteville and commute to Raleigh 3 times a week for school. I need some good privacy plants for my property

Which grows fastest?

🙋

Some of my green giants turned brown recently during droughts in nj. Will they come back or are they officially dead?

I can't get enough of these large growing screening plant videos. I'm all about making the neighbors disappear.

Jim, why no mention of schip laurels in these two large evergreen plant videos? Are they high maintenence?

I'm certain Mr. Putin would agree Any hedge and screening plants should be a variety of different plants. If you don't plant a variety you could be calling in insects and disease to wipe out the entire row. Same as crop farmers growing thousands of acres of one vegetable if 1 plant get sick they all get sick

I love ya Jim. But I don’t see the Bigfoot growing like that. My experience in zone 7 a. They stare at ya mostly.

Dwarf in the plant world is NOT descriptive of what you will end up with.

Are these holly’s poisonous to animals?

I wish channels like this would focus on and push Natives instead of all of the asian species. I can't imagine how much better our ecosystem would be if the uniformed would become informed.
