I moved to humboldt county from Orange County and these seem to be a local city landscaping favorite. One of my favorites too. I was able to propagate a cutting this year and I’m so excited to bring it to my mom back in OC so she can have a beautiful fragrant native flowering bush like this. I love helping California residents figure out just how vast and beautiful our variety of native flowering plants can be ❤️
Hello there. I was going to ask you for a favour. I had amassing ceanothus in my garden. We moved in and it was hear, so I don’t know what ceanothus is that type. But two years ago I pruned it without to do a home work:-( so it came back last year and this February it start to get yellow and brown leaves. So it died now. I’ll show pictures. I didt save any and can’t re grow it. My asking , could you tell me from the picture what name of ceanothus I had. I live in 🇮🇪 Ireland. Not the best weather for this beautiful tree but I love it and willing to grow it again. From watching your videos I find out a lot about this beautiful plans. Please see the photos and maybe you can tell me what is that. I’ll put it on my profile picture:-) thank you🙏
@@battlefoxx thank you for come back to me so fast:-) appreciate it a lot🙏 Do you mean to put all thing about my tree question and picture and ask everyone who would see it? Thank you
Hi, nice video. I am looking to import one of these varieties to the UAE. It is very difficult to get hold of from within the country. I wondered if it was too hot here. However upon doing research it seems like it is possible at least, that it can in fact grow here as long as it can survive the summer of 105°F plus. I want a deep blue variety that can grow into a hedge along a wall. So something that can grow up to around 6 feet tall. What variety would you recommend for this climate? Thanks in advance Lawrence
it might be too hot for too long of the year. I see them grow along hillsides that get to 100 degrees F, but only for short summer seasons. the most common hedge-lilac tends to be Ceanothus vulgaris (or French Lilac) which can get about 8-15 feet high, 6-12 feet wide. This variety species also prefers full sun and no shade. it will also give you deep blue (sometimes lavender-ish) flowers
yes, you can trim down the bottom branches and just shape it as it grows higher. so, it will just look like a higher shrub without a lot of stuff underneath (but, not really a tree)

Great video! You gave us a lot of useful information!
Yay. Thanks
This plant is an evergreen.

OK. What if you make a short Iphone video and post it on TH-cam....Send me a note or link.
Or, just use your original thought and post on your home page.

How big does Concha get? In Oregon 5 miles from coast
could get up to 8 feet in your milder area, but I've never seen one that big before - even the mountain lilac in the wild
Can you make these bushes into a standard tree? If so, can you make a video to show us please?
yes, you can trim down the bottom branches and just shape it as it grows higher. so, it will just look like a higher shrub without a lot of stuff underneath (but, not really a tree)
Will this plant make soap?
Yes. the plant is full of saponins, so when you crush them up and add water, they produce a bit of lather you can use for soap.
