Crypotomeria is an AWESOME conifer. Tough as nails. Foilage always looks good; no matter the season or conditions. I have a landscape packed with interesting things - my Dragon Prince cryptomeria gets the most feedback from visitors. Just a tidy, great looking plant all year.
YES!! I needed this video! I’ve been researching heat tolerant evergreens for a zone 8.. Just in time! Thank you sir!
IMO - Bagworms are as big a hurdle as heat tolerance for conifers in Texas. Arizona cypress is the only one that survived the bagworm infestation of all conifers in my old yard.
ZONE 8 Metro ATL Lost three four yr old Hollywood junipers but my Mint Julips and Blue Points are thriving. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!
Hi neighbor
I saw serious damage to mature Cryptomeria along 400 at Windward. Those exposed to the wind most are almost fried & these are 35' tall. I'm past the northern suburbs & lost a few things.
@@katiekane5247 I've been noticing damage across many plants as well; especially on the interstate exits. Sheltered plantings did better than those exposed.
Hollywood juniper get mites really bad have to be on a spraying plan
They don't get mites unless they are stressed in some way. Also if something needs a spray schedule it belongs on the compost pile
Jim you are awesome! I absolutely love these videos you put together giving us all ideas for different options of plants. They are more helpful than you know. I typically watch them 2 or 3 times with a pen and paper, jotting down the varieties I like. Super helpful! Thank you!
@suzilamb7922, I do the same thing, I take notes as if I’m in a college class with my professor!! 😃
Same here!
I have 2 Daub's Frosted Juniper in my 6B garden in St. Louis. It is an AMAZING plant! It handles hot summers, cold and wet winters and looks amazing the whole time.
Nothing beats wax myrtle and cherry laurel for screening. Both natives that attract birds, don’t need special care and are tolerant of heat.
Thank you! I want to start incorporating smaller evergreens in my yard as I don’t want arborvitae (8’-12’ tall by 4-6’ wide range) zone 6b RI
Thank you Jim & Steph! Irma New Albany, IN 6b I’ve been inspired by horttube to plant all kinds of perennial garden beds w tons of natives!
Thank you! This lets me know that conifers would not work in the area I was thinking, which is near a downspout.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥YES, FINALLY👏👏👏
Excellent!!! Just what I was searching for - zone 7a and trying to find something evergreen that can take our heat and humidity
Awesome ! I ordered a Chief Joseph pine. (Turns gold in winter.)
Thuja Forever Goldy is nice too. ✌️
One of my favorites!!!
Much needed info for southern gardens. I hope it doesn’t get as hot this summer as last!
I'm loving my blue ice cypress!!! I gave it a big ole corner of my property so it can do its thing! ^_^ really wanted a Hollywood juniper, but see lots of them dying here in zone 8a
Always great shows. Took a trip by Big Bloomers yesterday on way home from Southport. Bought about 20 plants, love going there. Live in MADISON. Amazed with the huge Oaks in Southport, understand they're 400 yrs old.
This was so helpful for me! I’m having a hard time with pretty conifers here in the Mediterranean.
This is exactly what I need to know. Thank you!!!
Yes, the list I definitely know I needed, Thanks 😊
Oh, perfect! Just what I needed! 😁👍
Thx Jim🌲
Thank you Jim! I need to locate two of those Roman Candle podocarpus for my zone 8b, Foley, AL back yard. You and Steph continue to bring us the best informational videos.
I garden in Austin in winter and spring and the Pacific Northwest in summer and fall. Both seem to be zone exceptions. I think just about anything will grow flawlessly in Oregon and Washington even if the zone doesnt match up (unless it hates winter wet like fig ivy), whereas I do not trust most of these to grow in my 8B Austin garden. This is why I appreciate how specific you get on a lot of your care info on this channel.
So many things really need an EXCEPT IN TEXAS asterisk. Arizona cypress grows well in Austin as do most juniper. But, although Cedrus Atlantica and all its' amazing forms are grown like weeds in the Northwest, I dont have much faith in those in Austin. I sprung for a sapphire nymph and sited carefully and nope.
One thing I do see do OK in our heat is Thunderhead pine. But it seems to like dry so maybe not ok in the Southeast?
I can’t like this comment ENOUGH bc of the “EXCEPT IN TEXAS asterick” quote! I’m in west Tx, zone 8a, Odessa/Midland area which is the desert, very much like an AZ climate. We get very little rain so our water and soil r alkaline as hell, we get high winds so things dry out very quickly, and we get temps upwards of 110 degrees for most of the summer. Yesterday, in June 2023, was 107 degrees and today was 105 with the next 10 days more of the same. Things have got to be tough as nails here to survive. I have a cinderblock fence which ups the zone in the planting areas in front of it to probably a zone 9. We r in the process of creating a flower bed in the backyard next to the fence, and I really have been researching different evergreens that can handle the brutal heat we get esp off that fence. Our house is also brick and faces west so that complicates the heat situation. Roses do incredibly well here as do crepe myrtles, but I WANT to plant an evergreen screening area in front of that particular section of the fence. It’s incredibly difficult to find something that will thrive there, and while I’d like to plant multiple plants at the same time so they can mature together, I just am afraid bc I really need to be able to evaluate one plant in that situation to see if it can handle our Tx beast of a sun. I’ve been researching my little heart out to see what to try, but still undecided. Plants r just too expensive to plant six at a time before I’ve seen if they can make it here. I REALLY REALLY wish the big plant nurseries would have at least one nursery in Tx so they could TRULY evaluate if plants can handle our sun! Every single time that I order a plant from Proven Winners and it comes from MI, it gets here and can’t handle our Tx sun. I’ve gotten to the point in the last two years that I just have stopped bc it’s a certain death sentence and a complete waste of money. Warranty or not, it’s just heartbreaking to watch it happen over and over again. Those plant tags need to be more specific AND those plants need to be evaluated IN TEXAS before they get labeled zone 4-9 bc oftentimes it’s not the case once they’re planted in Tx.
Arizona Cypress is another favorite of mine. I wish I had the lot size to accommodate a regular sized one. I did find one on standard and few years back and it makes a great topiary in my space. The icy blue foliage shines from across the garden. I like the smell too; always pleasant to prune. And that's all I ever do to it; maintain the topiary ball shape. Another tough as nails plant.
I'm glad you do these videos. A few years ago I bought some globosa nana and found that I love cryptomeria. Since then I have also planted some emerald green arborvitae and green and jr green giants. These videos help me alot with deciding whats best for my yard plus your videos on planting in clay soil really help. Thank you for these. Also with this past summer I want plants that survive.
I have two ‘Roman Candle’ in full, all-day sun here in zone 8A in coastal Virginia. They’re doing great. There’s no heat- or sun-damage. Tough plants.
I'm zone 6 with frying Southern all-day heat. I've done Blue Arrow, Wichita Blue, Blue Star, and some other really lovely tri-color-think it's a frosted.
Thank you! I'm in Zone 8a.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Wish I could get some of those Roman Candle Podocarpus!! No one in my area has them. I bought 2 deodor cedars to go between me and my neighbor.
Love this video mate :-) Love the Daub Frosted, Cedus Atlantica and Blue Ice. Wish u had close ups but that does take away ur great work. The Roman Candle tip will turn dark green later correct? Because its a new leaf, its white?
Awesome list…..now I’m on the hunt for some hedgehogs!! 🌳🌼🌺🌸
I have 2 pinus strobus blue Shag in 7b that are going strong 5 years now. I suspect they won’t be long lived but fun trying
They can take the heat, which is nice, can any of them stand alkaline soils?
I always learn so much from your videos that I took the time to watch today even though this is the first day I can work on my garden since we in NY were caught in the downdraft of Canadian forest fire smoke. The sky was orange and it smelled like a campfire. Hope it doesn't reach you. I have always wished I could grow the Arizona Sapphires but I'm in 6b. Fortunately, for anyone else out there not in Zone 7 or higher, there are some nice junipers with a similar habit and hue. The blue spruce are not a good alternative due to disease issues in our area, although they are beautiful. Thanks again, Jim!
We've had more of a light haze from that here in Raleigh. Making my eyes itch, but not too bad.
also saybrook juniper is really great.
Where can I get info on the pot stands/irrigation setup that is shown on the Gold Mop Cypress?
Hey Jim I saw your video at Panther Creek Nursery, I’ve been trying to locate 2 Daubs Frosted Junipers on a standard (tree form). I’ve had no luck at all, is there a nursery in the area that sells to the public, I live in Rolesville, NC right outside of Raleigh.
Where can I get nursery trays of the last two to pot up for a season. I have 5 acres that I would like to border in Bladen county.
These are all beautiful conifer foliage colors! I wonder if anyone has ever thought of designing a garden with nothing but different colored foliage/conifers/plants? I wonder if all colors of the rainbow are represented in plant foliage color?
I did just that along my street. 2 rows of different colored evergreens/conifers. ✌️
Couple of maples and a black crape myrtle in there too.
That's an awesome idea! I've always wanted an area large enough to have a conifer garden. It would be beautiful!
If I buy a juniper or arborvitae in the...now...and wait to plant it in the spring, how big of a planter should I give it to winter in...in 7A?
Will they do good in 9a or b in Florida...
Does the podocarpus have another name because the one you showed is very lime almost white green and i cannot find it online in that color.
Will these be sold at lowes or home depot under the Southern living label or local nurseries only? I'm in Dallas area zone 8a and my house is facing east west so I need a max 8 foot tall tree planted next to my front entrance which can handle full summer sun from 10-6pm. Thank you.
You may not see the exact varieties shown in this video, but I've seen at least some variety of most of these at the home improvement stores in my area.

Is this dry or wet heat we're talking about? I'm in zone 5b. We actually do get quite hot, but we have dry heat. I'm guessing plants respond to that differently than muggy heat.
I think he is talking about the Southeast US specifically which would be hot and humid, but some of these might work for the dry heat also, not sure.
