Lots of good information here, I think you should turn the volume on the background music down by like 20%, I wanna hear what you're saying in the video clear and concise and less ambiance music.
It would be helpful to add zones; I’m in the process of choosing a tree for my patio and had to look up the zones for each tree to determine if they would work for me.
This was amazing. Do you have any suggestion for a extremely small backyard with a creepy neighbor. I would like a hedge that is tall and narrow at the base maybe 3ft.
A privacy fence is your best option because it keeps those creepy neighbors away from you 🤣 In terms of plants, we think an Arborvitae would work great!
This video was very helpful to me. I have a neighbor that keep driving over my grass and down my driveway from his yard like he crazy. I decided to plant some trees to block cars from coming on my side. Now I know what kind of plant to get. Have a Great Day !
Naked gardening day!! 🤣 So funny. Great video. Looking to put in a hedge across my backyard, so very helpful. Really very informative video. I am subscribing!
I live in an extreme fire danger area, and anyone also living in such an area should be very careful of what they plant. Juniper's are infamously called "gasoline bush" by firefighters. I believe the magnolia is a better choice for fire danger areas. I'm not sure about the holly.
Thanks for the feedback, Pat. We are currently in the process of revamping our content on RU-vid to take it to the next level in all regards and definitely plan on reducing background music as a result. Stay tuned! 😎
I am not sure- I too have experienced this change in lower width over the years as we continue to plant Spartans, today they seem a bit wider in the mid-range than in past
Absolutely- just realize that these pruned areas may not fully come back. But feel free to hand prune as you need to, you can actually create a nice look if they all match with the limbed-up look.
All of these evergreens should work well for you! Amend your clay soil by digging holes twice as wide, taking out clay, amend some of the clay with composted soil or soil conditioner, mix well, then backfill with mostly black soil/little clay mixed, then create a water ring around the perimeter edge using the rest of the clay soil. Add a little slow release 10-10-10, or 20-20-20 fertilizer around the base, mulch over and water in!
Hi, wondering if you would tell me which would be the absolute best trees or shrubs to grow right at 6 ft or so in my front yard in southwest Missouri to totally block out a road and neighbors? Please help? Thanks!
Thanks for the video!I have a small (4-5 foot) potted spartan juniper and much of its foliage has turned black almost like it is covered in soot/ash (but it doesn't come off when touched). None of the foliage has browned or died just the blackness.I can't find anything online that might explain it or anything similar just cases of junipers infected then browning and dying off.Any ideas/help with what it could be and how to treat it?
Sounds like it could be a fungus, try and see if your local garden supply or plant nursery could ID with a sample u bring. Otherwise a tree/shrub specialist would be next best bet to ID. Good luck!
Hi Jennifer, yes! Any of the evergreens listed in this video can absolutely be planted. Just make sure your pot is large enough. Thanks for the comment and kind words.
I’m a little disappointed, first of all because most of these varieties are nothing that we haven’t heard of before… But also, I’m curious to know the cold hardiness
Oh yes, Arborvitae comes in many forms, shapes an sizes! Some smaller examples include: Emerald Petite Arborvitae, Berkman's Golden Arborvitae, and Jantar Arborvitae 🌿
Nothing eats like a Deer 😏 They will eat most any plants if hungry enough- Most tolerant on this list is the Littlegem Magnolia, Nellie Holly, we have not seen them eat before
Hey Wen, evergreen juniper groundcovers are always excellent such as Blue Rug and for deciduous trailing shrub that also does well on slopes, check out the Winter Jasmine
@@arielrodriguez6980 If that's all of the space you have, then I think they will be fine. Just be sure to not go under 2ft spacing since the base of the Juniper gets pretty wide.
Yes, they do! Just make sure the pot is a little bigger than the diameter of the pot included with the plant. A pot too large can cause the roots to get too much water and rot.
@@OutdoorInspirations Thank you! My BPJ is like 2ft long and came with a really small pot. What size planter would you recommend since it is going to grow? Is 18x22 too deep and wide?
The Leyland evergreen has been around for a long time and once chosen for fast growth and large size- however over the years it has revealed to be problematic- shallow rooted and can get damage from root rot, canker and boring insects. They need alot of room to grow and prefer space between them to help develop a stronger root system. Try to find another evergreen that may not get as large such as Arizona Cypress or Green Giant Arborvitae.
There are decorative composite screen panels you could install onto 4x4 posts, then plant Jasmine vines, or if you want only plants- the Spartan Juniper and Upright Yew - but you would need to periodically prune the sides to keep them inside that 43"
Depends on species, but a typical per year growth in height is 8 to 16 inches. Some grow faster than others- a larger growing #fastgrowingevergreen is #greengiantarborvitae and it can grow up to 24 inches each year.
@@OutdoorInspirationshi I am looking for kinda narrow fast growing to cover a shed for a 1/2 backyard. I have 2 story houses for neighbors in zone 8..then privacy in the perimeter Thanks .
Not sure what fits your preference- but comparing screening evergreens, height wise you have 10-20', 20-30', 30'+ so we chose some plants that fit the smaller scale privacy options. There are lower evergreens out there- but we don't consider something under 10 foot being able to provide much privacy or screening in typical planting scenarios.
Wow you are a ways from North Carolina so I may not have a Scooby Doo, but I believe your plant zone is 8b to 9- so of these listed in video Spartan Juniper, Blue Point Juniper, Upright Holly, and Little Gem Magnolia should work
