    I planted a podocarpus "tree" sapling from Home Depot in my yard about 6 months ago and I think I was over watering it because in the last 6 weeks or so some of its leaves have been browning. It's grown but only about three inches vertically. More horizontally. I put plant food in the hole before I set it in permanently. I cut back the amount of water but I haven't been watering daily. I may give it about 1/2 gal a day and watch it's condition.

    Good info. Alot of people don't realize and are sometimes not told at nurseries that the root is still in root ball formation for up to the first year usually. You need to water the root ball area to keep it moist while the roots grow outwards and stabilize the plant. Till the plant gets settled in and stable. Thanks for the video.

    Is this the dwarf Italian cypress the one that's grows up to 12 feet only..I live in the city in a corner lot and looking for something to block my 2 story neighbiors house..don't want anything with aggressive roots. I also need some shurbs or small pines for the fence that faces the street. My yard sits high so people can see inside my yard..I like the hedges but I don't think we will be maintaining it to cut it like a wall all the time.

    I'm about to have empire installed in my yard. I read different opinions on mower type, ie: reel and rotary. Issue for me is, no one in my area really supports power reel mowers, nor am I sure someone can sharpen the blades. Is a rotary mower ok?

    • @TheFlowerGuys
      @TheFlowerGuys 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It really depends on what you height you want to mow the lawn at whether you need a reel or rotary mower. We have great results mowing Empire between 1.5"-2" with a rotary mower. Anything lower than that would be an issue for a rotary mower. If you go shorter than that you for sure are going to have to cut the grass twice a week in the summer. We are religious about running sharp blades on our machines so that keeps the quality high. I had a golf course superintendent do a consult for us last year on an Empire property and he said the rotary was cutting it fine. I wouldn't personally go through the hassle of a reel mower.

    • @BBQBOY76
      @BBQBOY76 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you. I have a commercial Hustler mower, but I plan on selling it since the most of the yard will be landscaped and has a 40x30 pool with tons of travertine. So, a push mower cutting at 1.5" is what I am after,
