I'm way to exposed to the winds. Those leaves would be shredded before the end of May. It is still a great species. This example has a rather nasty crotch at the base and probably has included bark. I am even more surprised to see students studying in September. Midterms are typically in October and students rarely study until the night before the exam.
lol, the arboretum was actually packed with students doing assignments and studying. I was shocked too!
This is a really beautiful tree. It doesn't have leaves as large as Magnolia macrophylla., but it is still impressive in its overall coarse appearance. We need more large leaved woody plants in the landscape to break up the monotony of finely textured trees and shrubs.
Where did you buy the seeds for this crepe myrtle?
@tammymain3665 It wasn't seed grown, I purchased the plant from vineland nursery.
Have you seen of a variety called Niagara?
no I haven't, but I'll look out for it. Most of the wild paw paw's I get are from the Niagara region.
There's a fairly large Paulownia on Houghton Ave N, just near the "Pipeline Trail" in Hamilton. It's been there for years and hasn't died back. It flowered this past spring.
@@grantpiett7082 cool, I'll have to check it out, I'm in that neighborhood frequently!
It looks very healthy! I was thinking to get one, but I'm not sure how to get a hold of one...do you have any cuttings for sale or can you recommend where to purchase one? Thanks!
@@grantpiett7082 they're extremely hard to find. I got mine from a nursery on Vancouver Island that only ships like once or twice a year through small windows. Apparently they're easy to propagate through cuttings. You're welcome to collect some cuttings from mine sometime in mid October if you want. They die back to the ground after heavy frost anyway.
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Sounds great! I'll write you closer to October to confirm. Thanks!
@@grantpiett7082 no problem
You need stuff from New Mexico we get colder than Texas and out cactus are pretty much year round
There are a several fairly large Crepe Myrtles, that I have spotted here in Chatham (zone 7a). The largest is about 10 feet tall and quite tree like. I have no idea as to the cultivar.
@@jimmcintyre4346 That's amazing! Southern Ontario is such a freak zone thanks to those great lakes! Yes I definitely notice a warmer climate going into Chatham Kent and down into Windsor area. I'll actually be in Chatham downtown in a few weeks to try to collect some Shumard Oak acorns
That’s pretty cool! Love the three different colors! Is it a tree or bush?
@@justhereforthefoliage It certainly is a cool plant, grows to be a small tree apparently, we'll see what happens. It's very new to the market. It's surprising it's so hardy because both parents are basically like zone 8 plants!
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Really cool!
Looks great! You are pronouncing Natchez correctly! I agree with your idea of trying to protect the main trunk/stem over winter.
Definitely, it would be a shame to loss that trunk. Fingers crossed!
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 What you might want to do is survey folks in your area that have successfully grown them over decades and just learn from them what their success factors are and any tips and tricks they may have. Worth a shot, if you have the time and desire!
Very cool. Do you eat any? Id love to grow an Opuntia in the UK that we can eat. We are zone 8a here but wet winters. Can you recommend any, maybe any without Glochets? Mega spines arent so bad, stops deer 😅❤
I have tried a few but they're very seedy. If you're in zone 8a you can grow many without any problems. Unfortunately most opuntia's have glochets.
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Thanks for the reply. Yes perhaps a bred cultivar is needed for good fruit. Have you tried the young pads as a veggie? Not so many perrenial vegetables around.
It is a great tree/shrub. I prefer it short like this, though, so I can see the foliage up close.
@@crataeguscrusgalli me too! I know eventually it's gonna try to explode with growth!
Shining Sumac is very pretty (I've got one). That was a lot of bees on the flowers! There's also Poisonous Sumac in Ontario I believe.
We do indeed have poison sumac (Toxicodendron vernix). Just to confuse things, though, it belongs to a different genus than the other Ontario sumacs.
Natchez, Tuskegee, Tonto, and Pink Velour are some of the hardiest. Saw some Natchez, and Tuskegee 16ft plus in Kelowna, but past 2 winters changed all of that.
@@rphogue I did pick up a Natchez this spring that I'll do a video on in a week or 2. I'm sure the closer you get to coastal BC the easier it would be to grow them, however I'm sure Kelowna would be hotter in the summer. Here we have the summer heat, but unfortunately cold winters! The hardy myrtles always come back from the roots at least!
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Actually, Crape myrtles need a minimum amount of heat units to set flowers - especially pure indicas, which will not set flowers on the coast, and be vegetative. In the Okanagan, that is not a problem.
@@rphogue makes sense
This plant grows naturally in my garden here in GA and one thing about it is you cannot drown this plant. I have them growing in the wettest part of the garden which is where they chose and it stays very wet there all year around. Just so you'll know. I also have 2 variegated sweet bays that I like quite well. I have had trouble rooting it though. Still trying to get it to root after 3 years of trying.
Yes, they naturally grow in moist wet conditions. The variegated one is cool. I think it's a lot less hardy than most though, but being in Georgia I wouldn't think it would be an issue.
Wonderful!
Lovely flowers. 👍
They really are and they come back every year!!
Very beautiful! 🌺💚
they certainly are, thanks
Wow so early ! You don't have to wait 10 years wow
@@fredericmarcil685 I was definitely surprised!
Thanks so much for the update. The foliage looks like it is wonderful condition and flower is spectacular.
@crataeguscrusgalli You're welcome and thanks for watching!
I've been thinking about trying one of those here in Southwest Michigan. Also interested in the bigleaf magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla) which is semi-deciduous and supposedly zone 5 hardy.
@mattanderson3452 You definitely should try one. I'd recommend a hardy version like this one or brackens brown beauty and definitely spring plant it. The big leaf is a cool one too. I planted 3 small ones on my property 2 years ago. That one should be completely deciduous though.
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Interesting, I didn't know you had any of the big leaf magnolias. Is there a video of those?
@mattanderson3452 I haven't done a video because they're so tiny, maybe a foot tall tops. I find all Magnolias native to North America transplant horribly and go through severe transplant shock, especially bare root which these orginally were. It's too bad you're in Michigan because I do have one potted up I could give you, but the border non sense would be a nightmare!
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Yeah, luckily they're not hard to find online here in the US. I've never had any success with bare root trees in general, the last one I planted died within a week of being planted so I've basically just stopped buying them. I've never lost a potted one, even the white spruce I planted during a heat wave in July.
Cryptomeria is one of my favorite conifers ! There are some nice one s in arboretums here in Cincinnati
@cincytropics They are beautiful and so many cultivars to choose from!
I haven't had any problems with these so far in Michigan (zone 6A). My "Yoshino" took a brief drop down to -7F with no protection last winter and had no damage when it greened back up this spring. My going theory on why some people have problems with these trees is that they're slow to harden in the fall and need an extended period of time with temperatures below freezing in the winter before they can safely be hit with a polar vortex.
@mattanderson3452 agreed, their foliage is very interesting most like takes longer to harden off. Maybe Japan winters come more gradually than ours!
Good theory!
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Yeah, i'm sure being surrounded by the ocean helps moderate the temperatures. Great looking Sekkan!
@moseseisley557 thanks! I think a lot of those plants that originate from mainland Japan do best with a winter climate that's moderated by large bodies of water. Here in southern Ontario we're helped by the great lakes, but nothing compared to the ocean. If we didn't have the great lakes I'd be sitting in USDA zone 5a at best, probably in the 4s! Lucky!
Impressive! I certainly hope that you will provide us with updates!
@@crataeguscrusgalli will do!
Buen video👍
I live in Georgia, USA. I planted a small one about 30 years ago and have to keep cutting it back. It's at least 15'X15'. 1st of July now, and it's covered with flowers. The root sprouts have let it spread to many times its original footprint.
Oh yes, they certainly sucker. Mines on 5 years old and has easily spread 4X!
Love it!
Great prickly pear! The pads grow way bigger than I ever expected!
Cant go wrong with sabal minor!
It's a cool plant, I actually find them a little hardier than the needle palms here, probably because of the underground stem!
@nativeandunusualplants3582 they burn easier but they grow out of it with summer heat
Its got pups! Thats a good thing!
I know, it is a big specimen for a 7 gal plant. Even the guy I buy them from was very impressed with the 7 gal needles he was able to get this year. I just wish they were the hardier versions. He gets them from a Florida palm nursery, so why would they care, lol
@nativeandunusualplants3582 my big needle palm randomly crisped up and died. When I dug it out it had very little roots left! Something found needle palm roots to be quite tasty unfortunately
Where May I buy a crape myrtle please? I live outside London Ontario but travel to Mississauga regularly.
Hi, South Coast Gardens in St. Williams of Lake Erie carries many varieties even tree form ones. Vineland nursery in Vineland may. The garden gallery in dundas had quite a few of these exact ones last year. Hope that helps
Very beautiful ur new friend
Another pretty one :) Weird that is flops around!
I think it possibly follows the sun around, but who knows
Wow, that is really pretty :) Something magical about a cactus in bloom!
they are definitely cool plants!
What a bargain! Sadly, even though I am a little south of you, I am USDA zone 5a and 5b.
It definitely is a great deal! Where abouts are you if you don't mind me asking? A great interactive zone map to check out is plantmaps.com. They do every province and state
Good looking palm nice trunk
Thanks, it's big for a 7 gal
Omg I need one! We live in practically the same climate as you in NE OH and if it’ll thrive there, it’ll probably thrive here
100 percent you can! Just make sure it's Edith Bogue or Bracken Brown Beauty because they're the hardiest. Be sure to spring plant early in the season and protect the 1st winter. Always remember if a polar vortex winter comes around it may fry the leaves and possibly even have stem die back but the tree will bounce back just fine! The city of Windsor across the river from Detroit even planted a few in parks and one of like 30 ft and gorgeous!
Probably would do better on hill side to shed water?
100 percent!
Not reliable though, even in St. David's. Trees will die back to the ground at -23C (this one has evidently done that previously) but will vigorously resprout and the flowers buds are only hardy to -18C.
I believe the ones in Guelph arboretum die back to the ground every year.
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 With the possible exception of this spring, yes, that's generally the case in Guelph.
Yaaa.... But its got no princess smell though😅
not too sure what a princess smells like
Did you plant one seed per pot?
Yes, but if you only have a few I'd use bigger pots
Do you sell your seedlings?
I have given seedlings away. Are you in Southern Ontario?
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 , yes, I live in Pickering. It is about a one and a half hour drive to the Niagara peninsula. I am part of a garden that would like to plant more native fruit trees and shrubs. I would love to have some of your beautiful seedlings. 🌱
@@garrettpeters3438 Try contacting me in early fall and I'll see what I have available. I'm actually still waiting for the seeds to germinate from last year's crop. They should emerge soon but wouldn't be ready for planting in the ground until early or late fall of this year.
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 , perfect ! I will do that! 👍🏼😊
Nice magnolia! I'm hoping to buy one of these Northern Belle cultivars and see if it remains completely evergreen in Zone 7a. Many sweet bays growing here are only semi-evergreen (becoming very sparse during the winter).
thanks, it's a nice one! Unfortunately it doesn't get enough sun in the area I have it planted but I'm being quite suborn about leaving it where it is, lol. It would also prefer more acidity in the soil where I am but we're limestone here.
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Middle Tennessee is also bigtime limestone country... But i did the same as you and ammended with peat moss. There are some parts of Tennessee where magnolia virginiana actually grows wild, but i've never seen it personally.
Do you sell northern paw paw scion wood?
no sorry I don't
Great looking tree! Where did you end up buying it for that size?
Thanks, I love it! It's from a wholesale nursery called blue sky.
hey! great video! was wondering what compost mix you used for seeding the yucca? Will try to grow yucca rigada shortly and want to get the right mix! Thanks!
You can really get away with any soil as long as it's well draining and the pH is not low. Regular potting soil will due for starting seeds or potted yucca's. Outside in the ground it entirely depends on how cold it gets in winter and especially how much precipitation you receive annually. Always remember to have really good drainage!
Do you protect these? Your weather each year is basically the same as mine and so is the climate.
The 1st winter or 2 you should definitely protect until it gets established, but only right before the really cold weather comes. Usually I don't need to put protection on anything until late Dec, even early Jan. Once the plants are established only protect during polar vortex events. However if it receives a lot of sun in winter, it should probably be protected from that as the foliage with burn. Always remember to spring plant borderline hardy plants, that's key. Hope that helps
Great price for that tree! How well has that species performed for you in the past?
I don't have much experience with grandiflora except having Brackens Brown Beauty for 1 year. It was a mild winter for us reaching a low of 1F, so it was pretty much a zone 7a winter here. There are some decent size Edith's and BBB around that appear to do just fine. Some old enough they definitely would have gone through the 2014 /2015 winters!
Just as a FYI, if you're looking for an interesting tree to do a video on I'd highly recommend going to visit the giant sequoia at the Niagara Lakeshore Cemetery in Niagara on the Lake. A friend of mine who has been propagating seedlings from cones he took from the tree told me about it, and it's really a sight to behold. Just low-balling it, I'd reckon that the tree is at least 60 feet tall and is the healthiest looking sequoia that I've seen in all of Niagara. It's along the roadside by the cemetery's administrative office. If you're lucky, you might even find a few cones laying around by the base of it.
Very Cool, I'll definitely take a look next time I'm in that area. Thanks for the heads up!
I've heard BBB(Bracken's Brown Beauty) is cold hardier. But it's probably splitting hairs between the two varieties.
I would agree, most people tend to agree on USDA zone 6a is safe for those 2 with some added care. Best thing to do is experiment and see what happens 😊
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Yeah I also believe these are solid zone 6 plants, especially now with the new updated plant hardiness zone maps that were issued recently. What I would be concerned most about with Southern Mags is damage from ice storms and heavy wet snow.
@@knoc59 Apparently Brackens is a little more prone to ice and snow damage. I've seen some decent sized Edith's and Brackens in the Niagara and Windsor Area. I did a video on a large Brackens in a Windsor city park that most likely had some wet snow breakage. The limb that was down was far bigger than my whole tree, lol
I'm so scared to plant mine close to the corner of the fence. any pointers?
