Proven Winners now ships plants in Canada, and it's awesome. The plants arrive in excellent health and are watered. I can get most of the plants I want at a family-owned garden center or at the Home Depot, but I could never get a Proud Berry no matter how much I asked, so as soon as Proven Winners offered shipping, I got my Proud Berry shrubs. I'm so happy! One of them was a small size, and it tripled in one season.
💚FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION💚 About that possible warehouse on the east coast…😁 Central Pennsylvania is a GREAT place to consider…in the future! We're the Keystone State after all. If you Google central PA highway system (images) you'll see we have major highways that lead to Philly (of course), we're only 45mins from Baltimore Harbor, then DC, Virginia, Deleware and straight shot down 83S to 695S to 95S & Rt1 all the way down the east coast. We're about 3 hours from NJ, 4 to NYC and up north by Rt 81. There's Rt 30 (part of Lincoln Highway) cuts through us to go west to Pittsburgh (of course), Ohio and on into the mid west. Just looking out for my neighbors! 👍🏼🤗💚
25:00 Root flare. Many think a wide, flaring root base is elegant and adds the look of age and stability to your tree. When you strip off the soil and expose more vertical roots (like when the stock has been planted from a cutting so the roots emerge from one place) it looks like an elephant foot–to be avoided. When stock has been grafted, in some growing zones, the graft is placed below the soil level to protect the joint from freezing, and in some it is placed higher to prevent suckering. If roots are really tangled and crossing at the base (often a symptom of having been grown in a pot), it may be best to expose those and prune them so they don't choke out the tree. With lindens (or basswoods), they definitely sucker from the base if planted too high or damaged by a mower, scuffed or wire-wrapped. An important key is to not allow soil or mulch to ride up the trunk (think volcano cones of mulch around parking lot trees). The mulch belongs in a circle around the base of the tree, with the trunk exposed, to prevent bark rot, rooting above the soil plane, and it looks better. Over time, raking away from the trunk will allow the natural root flare to become apparent.
A warehouse in New Jersey, I am here, a retired supply chain manager, I am on board!!! 😂😂😂 Seriously, I would love it! Maybe a source for Land & Sea, would you let me pick it up? I cannot find it here at all!!! The shipping would be cost prohibitive I am pretty sure!!!!
I’ve always heard that trees planted too deep might survive but won’t thrive. I can say that this is soooo true. My son had a number of trees planted 4 years ago that were pretty big (red oaks, lacebark elms) and the guy planted too deep and even-though they are still alive, they haven’t grown much😔.
It’s called root washing to wash the dirt off. This way you can cut out roots that are starting to circle to stop girdling and spread them out. It doesn’t shock the tree.
When they take a day off I just watch previous episodes! I’m currently in the Christmas tour videos. lol. I listen to them while I work too. It feels like home to me if that makes sense? 🥰
Garden Professor have a FB page and they are the ones that are saying to spray them off. They also curse garden centers for poor advice. Which is primarily the reason I tried to have "plant knowledgeable staff when I was managing the center I worked.
Why is my credit card being charged 2 x a month? I think this is more than I am comfortable sending. Can you help me to cut the payment to only 1 time a month. Long time viewer. Not quite the oldest viewer. Thank you!
It's so crazy that you don't have rocks in your soil- I'm in the Willamette valley, the Portland area, and we have river rock boil up out of our soil, despite removing rock every time we dig! I've been told it because we're in the ancient river bed from the ice age floods which is crazy to think about!
I’ve noticed that too, in Canada I’ve never heard anyone call nursery pots “cans”, I think of it as more of an American thing a lot of American channels I follow on here call them cans. And up here people bounce back and forth between nursery and garden centre…it doesn’t matter 😂
20+ mins we moved to the US a year ago, and I was trying to find local "garden centers" with no luck until I looked for "nursery" on google maps. I finally found a few around. Watching your videos for years now, I moved from FB to youtube. Love your channel ❤
Hi. I am going to say this about the gravel around the Heartly you thought was too deep. When cement is poured properly it is 8 to 10 inches thick (this is for frost/freeze areas, non frost is 4 to 6. Why would a bed of gravel be any different? It would be hard to wade through for awhile but in the end it should be YEARS before you have to do any maintenance on that gravel. I just looked it up. 12 inches for “gravel”. You start with fist size rocks and then pour gravel. It should end up as tough as cement. I LOVE gravel.
We live in a suburban development and a neighbor on the corner had cars come around the corner too fast three times in the first year. They crossed his lawn, which was about forty feet deep and smashed into his house. After the third time, he brought in a lot of dirt to make his front yard perfectly flat and had a two foot tall brick wall put all around from his driveway to the back of his house. That stops the speeders.
I am from India, and I cry everyday seeing these gorgeous plants and trees that I cant plant. North East India is much cooler with mountains and they can plant pines and other pretty stuff. I live in a hot tropical rain forest kind of zone.
I want to let you know that I bought 2 pads. One small (blue) and the big red one. They are wonderful!! I recommend those pads to any gardener. I loved them!!! My son said they are wonderful for kneeling in prayer. What a great idea, ja!
About the cans, the plants used to be all potted in cans. When I started working the nursery business back in 1973 plants were all in cans. We had a can cutter that we would slide down either side of the pot so the customer could get the plant out of the can.
You both have convinced me that if a plant struggles or if it’s in the wrong place, move it or toss it. It actually feels good. During the pandemic, you both inspired me so much. I would go out in my garden and make it bigger. Years ago, my thought was oh just bark mulch it. I can’t water that much. Now there’s a brick walkway. The garden is bigger more beautiful and I’m happier. ❤️
Laura, I just looked it up. Your town has 11,638 or something like that. So I just wanted you to know I know you don’t have time to look up stuff sometimes you’re so busy. But I love you and Aaron and those beautiful little children.
Since Covid, shipping is the bane of everyone, who sells tangible items, existence. The prices are off the richter and service is apaling. Shipping anything longer than 8’ often costs way more than the item itself. 🤦🏻♀️ I follow up every Monday just to make sure that the clients purchases got there one piece. 😂
40-50 yrs ago plants came in “metal cans” and one had to cut the can down one or two sides in order to get the plant out. Then came modern plastic containers/pots where one didn’t have to destroy the “can” in order to remove the plant.
37:04 Persephone/Kore (Περσεφόνη/ Κόρη) is a goddess, Demeter's daughter by Zeus, wife of Hades, [and queen of the underworld. 😬] Her most important myth is that of her abduction by Hades, her father's brother. In Orphic literature, she is Dionysus' mother by Zeus.
Garden center – sells stuff Nursery – grows stuff to sell. And can also be – The garden center bought the neighboring plot and put in their own nursery. Or – The nursery added a garden center so they could also sell tools and cute pots. Thats how it looks from my brain anyway. Nursery requires growing though, thats the biggest difference to me. Never heard the term cans. We've always called them nursery pots. As the plants grow out in them and are more disposable than a true plant pot.
Always expose and untangle the roots!!! I've had several instances where there was a tarp and plastic thread around the rootball buried under more soil in the pot. And it was unnoticeable! In general, you have to untangle the roots. Otherwise, they will keep growing in a circle shape and the tree will choke itself.
We had an above ground pool. We have a plum tree next to the pool. The plum tree dropped its leaves in the pool. We didn’t clean them up after they dropped. We had a big bunch of gunk on the bottom of pool. We had to drain pool to get rid of the leaf gunk. Just a FWI.
This is how I was taught when studying horticulture: a nursery is where new plants are propagated. A garden centre is a retail outlet that sells plants. If a nursery has a public retail section, you can call it a garden centre or a nursery. But you can't call a garden centre a nursery if it doesn't propagate new plants (by cuttings, seed sprouting, grafting etc) 😊

PLENTY of warehouses in NJ. We are lousy with them 🙁

I too get messages via facebook congratulating me for winning, but I never answer.

It would have taken me three years to get those boxwoods in the ground, optimistically speaking.

The Persephone period is the time of year when the day length drops below ten hours and plant growth slows
Yes, bollards.

So easy to name your place. Boxwood Farm. Or Boxwood Acres or Boxwood Valle or Boxwoods R Us. Put Boxwood in front of anything and it’s you!!

Will you be running any Black Friday sales
Hi … I love how Samantha stills the show once In a while … how do we join your email list ?
You definitely have to expose the root flare, some damages won’t be noticeable for years before it’s too late. It’s not a matter of opinion really.
Love your cup😀

OMG, You have a Tilton Apricot, my Grandparents had had a Tilton Apricot. Loved it, one of my favorites.

Can you carry the lawn weed and dead weed brew in your store? I have a trouble finding it at Home Depot.
