Brie and Jim, one thing that I really appreciate about your videos (among many things) is that you both are adept at pronouncing the taxonomic nomenclature. It is so pleasing to listen to someone who takes the time and care to know and pronounce these plant names. Yes, sometimes the emphasis can be on a different syllable depending where you are in the world. But, honestly, this sets you apart from many videos where the preparation to pronounce nomenclature is clearly absent.
I love the yellow and red twigged dogwoods. Just planted three of them this fall so they are pretty small. LooKing forward to when they get a little bigger and showier
Hardy palms (Zone 7-8), please Sunny Foster!!! I wish I could find one to bring to the garden. Can't be found, online, local. Thanks for posting that specimen.
Unfortunately, I don’t have much full sun in my garden. I have a few hibiscus 🌺 that show winter interest with their seed pods. Keep these videos coming.
I love trees in the winter - any tree - love to see their structure and the creatures (birds, squirrels, possums, etc.) that, when fully foliated are hidden from site. Also love, of course, camellias; and two of my favorites - edgeworthia and osmanthus - beautiful and fragrant. Loving the new channel and all your info & inspiration, your adventures and the opportunity to 'visit' gardens I may otherwise never see - THANKS!
Loved this video tour! The previous owner of my house left me with several Camellia japonica planted around the front yard and two large, beautiful Ilex opaca (I think), but my favorite winter interest plants for sun are grasses right now. I planted Panicum virgatum and Andropogon glomeratus seed among others, so I’m hopeful I will be able to enjoy them next winter :)
Thank you for the videos on JC Raulston garden, it's on my bucket list to visit. One of my favorite sun loving winter shrub is Midwinter Fire' (Cornus sanguinea). I do not have this plant in my garden but there are several planted at a local arboretum. It is a joy to see in the winter time.
I love the ralston arboretum, visited often when my kids were at NC State, or living in Raleigh after college. So many times I would see something I wanted to put in my own garden, and I could never find it here in Charlotte. This was years ago, before so many online nurseries were shipping shrubs and trees. Could you please recommend how to search and find unusual cultivars? I have tried googling ‘where to by with the cultivar name’, is there a better way?
Great tour. I particularly like seeing the contrast of the tall grasses I leave standing, all wild and loose, next to the clipped, conical junipers placed throughout my garden. Will you please consider putting the details of your “favorites” in the description of your videos? Thank you!
One of my favorite winter interest plants for full sun are Color Guard Yuccas, great structure and color throughout the winter months. I love the channel so far!
Omg that london plane tree is amazing. I have been looking for a white barked tree but I don't like the spike balls of sweetgums. Now just to figure out how to get my hands on one!
Please, y'all come to Georgia again. Athens & you gotta hit Gibbs Gardens for daffodil displays! Makes me feel better knowing the huge HOA I managed paid top dollar to Gibbs for maintenance but it helped develop a beautiful space. This was back in the late 80s when the Garden was being developed. Always spectacular natives here in N. Georgia too, some so tiny they barely get noticed.
@@BrieThePlantLady would adore knowing when y'all are coming. You & Jim make a great team BTW. There's lots of channels where folks with unlimited resources make gorgeous landscapes.....then there's the rest of us! Thanks for giving us more cost effective & reasonable ideas.
If I had full sun, I’d plant lots of gold needled conifers like Chief Joseph, Pinus strobes golden candles, etc. Instead of flying dragon, I love the variegated leaves on snow dragon.
Yellow oriental spruces brighten up the winter landscape because their color particularly intensifies in the cold weather. We also would not be without a blight-resistant purple-leafed contorted filbert which brings color and architectural interest in the winter and spring seasons...
@@katiekane5247 Completely agree. Early spring-flowering weeping trees - including apricots and cherries - are also a fantastic choice, particularly after they mature. But to my understanding, redbuds will need some afternoon shade in Southern climates... #AskJim
@@emmalavenham they will look their best in dappled sun or at least get a break from afternoon sun. I've seen them survive in full sun, they fry a bit by late summer.
@@katiekane5247 They are by nature an understory tree! But here in Northern New England, we can get away with putting them in more sun - like the trees featured in this video.....
New favorite of mine (I'm trying to source one), ilex decidua beautiful red berries contrasting with mottled gray bark. Birmingham Botanical Gardens has several at the entrance.
