Strawberry Tree, a tough shade tree that birds love
The Strawberry Tree actually does bear fruit (but it's yucky). However birds love this tree not only for the food but the shelter it provides. The Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo or Arbutus marina) can reach 30 feet and 30 feet wide. It is also a drought tolerant tree that can tolerate sea breezes. Best in USDA zones 7-11, this tree will go deciduous in the colder zones. Here in San Diego the Strawberry Tree is a wonderful evergreen shade tree.

Very excellent process for tile. Most people just throw down outdoor pathway tiles in gravel or sand, thinking it’s going to stay put. Yours will last for as long as it’s around. Congrats!

I would never use the jute netting again because it becomes a nightmare to weed the slope with it in place.

Nice presentation. You're the only one I could find that shows all the seasons. Ditch the annoying guitar in the background though - it's just distracting and not needed for entertainment. You're an INFO channel.
I agree, this video was from my first year when I put music under everything. Now I know better. Thanks for watching!
excellent
Many many thanks
Thank you! Cheers!
He’s not cutting expansion joints ok. He’s cutting control cracking joints. Expansion joints actually have expansion in there. So again he’s cutting control joints for cracking ok.

Can’t wait for them to head to Palm Springs because palm trees leave a huge mess all if the time and the cost to trim them is outrageous. I say have at the trees.

What's the best rosemary essential oil for hair regrowth
It's amazing how the crown of that palm that was felled into the street essentially exploded off the trunk when it hit the pavement. There was really nothing left holding it to the trunk. What a liability if that crown simply fell off the top of the trunk on its own in a storm. So if injection works, do you suppose the cities will take that up, or just wait and remove infect/infested trees as they become a problem? Most cities don't seem to be very proactive. Just a thought. ~Ron
It is a serious liability that more cities and homeowners will have to deal with in the future.
Here are some good books on Palm trees; amzn.to/325vKgN amzn.to/3wXZZll amzn.to/3ClwvPv

Hi Gardener, Nice explanation by the way!

Do you need to add gopher wire and weed cloth?
Those are always good ideas
Hi, we need the height but not the width or bushyness as we've only got a narrow border so can't have a big bushy tree, thought of bamboo but don't want it to get out of hand in a border plus it would cost a fortune to have about 10 pots of which is the amount we would need to block next doors ugly cabin out, any suggestions please..
Try an ilex sky pencil (8' tall x 18 inches wide) or Tiny Tower Juniper (12' tall x 32 inches wide)
How do you keep the mulch from ending up all over the stones?
Either use a broom or a mulch with very little movement like Gorilla Hair mulch
Which mulch is better, bagged store-bought mulch or bulk mulch from a mulch yard?
Thank you! I'm about to try one now 😃
Make sure to remove those little thorns - they can be tiny.
Love the photos! Wish the music was lighter, not such heavy rhythm.
Yes, I have eliminated music in all the videos I have posted in the last 12 months

Better to make a depression uphill from the plant to collect the water from the emitter and gradually release the water to the plant roots. Berms collapse in short order.
good point
