Fall Hydrangea Pruning/Goatsbeard Winter Interest
I have this exact same stove and I do this exact same thing
These bloom on “new wood” only. Yeah??
Good video. But you need to stop whispering sweet pea, your voice is giving me a hard-on.
How ridiculous, it's a simple task. I was doing that at 7 I'm 60 now.
And simple tasks for simple minds can be a challenge, eh?
where do you put those hot ashes and coals?? to be safe?
I have a covered galvanized can sitting on my fire pit grate all winter. In the spring I throw them on top of the veggie garden.
Excellent instruction on this (and timely for me).
Use Copper!!
Good idea! I forgot about that one. When I was a commercial applicator in the 80's we had "Bordeaux " mixture along those same lines.
Great guy....thank you...subscribe ❤
Nice video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
This was the most informative video I’ve seen. I bought a small red twig dogwood from Lowe’s because I wanted one but didn’t plant it right away as I didn’t know where to plant it. I planted six months later this spring. it’s been almost months in the ground and it’s now the start of July. I see no signs of growth with new shoots or leaves. The scratch test on the twigs are green which should indicate it’s alive. Should I just leave it and give it more time to settle in? I’m nervous to prune it as it seems it has one line tank at the base with about six 18” shoots growing from it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Oftentimes a new planting concentrates it's energy on root production with foliage/ stem production occuring later.
Excellent video. I have 2 planted next to each other that have gotten way too big. Now I know exactly what to do!
Go for it!
Thanks I've been looking for a white blooming plant for my backyard.
Glad I could help

Nope, it's just called a Hedge in the UK, your full of shit

Incorrectly said 'Endless Summer' when I meant to say 'Summer Snowflake' Viburnum.
I recently visited my local nursery and asked an arborist, “When’s the best time to plant a walnut tree?” How many know his response?
The first plants shown are Adams needle
Where?
Mid-coast Maine.
Good idea' the beginning can start rotting while you work on it.
Thanks for sharing that great hack.
The camera should have been placed closer, can’t really see what you’re doing!
Cutting off old stems to ground level.
Beautiful, but caustic! Kind of my totem😉
Not really a hack! You keep a fire going 24/7, and the firebox will fill with coals if you don't manage it. I do mostly what you do - move coals around to shake off ash - then I start sifting and scooping. I use regular fireplace tools and an "ember and ash separator" which looks like a french fry basket you'd see at McDonald's (found on Amazon a few years ago). I put ashy coals in the basket, sift the ash out, dump the coals in the firebox, shovel out the ash. I may have 5-6 fire cycles a day on very cold days, and getting coals burned down and the firebox ready for the next fire is part of that process for me (and probably a lot of us!).
This is a kind thing to do. Crow var - funny! 😂
Hey man. Nice stuff you got. I'll definitely watch more crow content.
Tbh if you set up cams to watch the crows. Name them and gave silly back stories or things you've done with them. You'll blow tf up.
@@jadlysmf1933 You're probably right! They've been shy lately, but they are always watching ME.
Four years since you trimmed hemlock hedge…how about AFTER pix? We face a similar problem situation.
Everything there is frozen over at present. When I get out there during the "season" I will do an update.
I am uploading a video today with further discussions on hedge issues that might interest you.
Is that Myrica pennsylvania...the one with the waxy berries?
Yes, it is. It's native around here. If one had the time it would be possible to collect enough to make candles like in Colonial times.
Outstanding food plant for Antherea polyphemus!!! Nice specimen.
It gets covered with silky white caterpillars every year.
How old is that hydrangea?
I planted it about 20 years ago. It may have been a 3 yr. plant at the time.
@@thatgreenthing Only 3 years old and already 7 feet high, wow. Do you fertilize or just let it do what it does naturally? I am trying to get some tips as I purchased 5 varieties of a panicle hydrangeas in the past 2 years. They are the Limelight, Quick Fire, Quick Fire Fab, Bobo and the Pinky Winky. The Limelight, Quick Fire and the Bobo can get that dreaded flopping when we get a good rain. I was wondering how much longer for sturdier stems. I am thinking about giving the Quick Fire Fab away as I feel the blooms get so large and will always flop. I also love your style of pruning, the mushroom shape. I will definitely be using that technique when trimming my Limelight hydrangeas.
@seriejohnson698 Oh, sorry. I meant to say that Limelight was 3 yrs. at the time of purchase, making the one you see about 20 yrs., now. I do not fertilize them. It would depend on the environment into which you plant them. I love the new varieties with "fire" in the description. I cut back the PG varieties hard in the Fall to help build strong stems to withstand drooping.
Music track is corrupted...
My ash gets 4 inches deep. I use two metal buckets. I usea shovel to put hot coals into the double bottom one. I put the mostly hot ash into a single bottom bucket, and remove to the outside to cool down. I replace the hot coals. For restarting, i put strips of cedar bark and a here shavings on the coals, front to back. Then small cedar at a right angle across them. Then a couple oak pieces front to back across the cedar. It usually starts l in 1-2 minutes.
Sounds good! I have about 20 buckets of kindling out in the garage I saved as scraps from splitting wood. I keep one bucket nearby to get the coals going again like you do.
Richard Gere?
You have no idea... Even when I travel to Philippines to see my inlaws, I hear that all the time.
Best red twig dogwood pruning video I've seen. You care about all the same things I do. Watched this a few years ago before I got my dogwood and now I will be pruning my dogwood next spring for the first time and will use this method. No nonsense with leaving 6" stubs or going in with shears! Looks natural as it should! Good job! Thanks.
I pass that plant every day. Looks great going into this coming winter. Could not help myself bending over to clip out about 10 dead (brown) stems. Now it's perfect again!
Yes, we would like to know about all your trees as you go past them and how old they are and what their characteristics are and what conditions ware bed suited to them, and whether or not you have to move any of them, and what shrubs you grow alongside each other and how wide they are and what distance they are from each other, and what their growing season is...in fact just any and everything you are thinking as you walk in your yard. It looks simply beautiful.
That is very kind of you to say. I will try to find time to do just that. Currently finishing up time at our lake retreat. Home soon.
@@thatgreenthing on re- reading what I said - it was a bit OTT. Sorry! But look forward to anything you care to tell us about. Thank you.
I like your style!!!😘
😉 'promo sm'
I'm recently retired and have time to spend in my small backyard. I also don't have a plan. I just plant for the pollinators, birds, and monarch butterflies. I think if you manage the invasive plants, it should be fine.
I like that approach, Keith.
Thank you , that was a lovely tour of your yard 😊beautiful Roses .
Did you eventually just cut the tops & repot in fresh soil & discard the mother ?
I cut the top off and stuck it in the same pot. Both are now thriving full and bushy.
We trim our Red Twig Dogwood back to 2 feet tall every other yr. Pennsylvania They are beautiful and vibrant
I believe everyone has their own twist/style of pruning shrubs. Each person's garden can be unique in that regard. As long as the pruning method does not harm the vigor of the plant.
i love your stories in this video. I have few hemlocks that i want to limb up. Will save a few souvenirs also.
Thanks, Timothy. Appreciate it.
That's very cool what you did saving those sticks. Your properties are beautiful.
What brand of stove is that
New Englander. Sorry for the late reply.
Have a PG in bush form always wanted to try and cut it in tree form
You can experiment. They are very accomodating!
I use a metal cat litter cleaner to do this. It lets me sift the coals out of the ashes and set them to the side, much like you do.
shut the fuck up and get to the point
The silly things we save.
Thanks for sharing. Good to see you didn't fall off the end of the earth.
My one is about 300 ft with a thick trunk. It is too near the house. Next door chap said you cannot cut the ends off you have to cut the whole branch off close to the trunk. These branches can be 15 ft long. Does anyone know if he is right or not?
Sorry meant 30 ft.
A branch can be cut off anywhere, whether it is at the main trunk or out from there. Always cut back to a lateral branch if it is not at the main trunk. Don't leave, "stubs".
I just bought one from Lowes Sept. 29 ,,,,,has some white berries on it now ...Will i have berries on it next fall without another Red-Twig dogwood near by ?
If you prune in early spring and the plant flowers later you should have more berries.
