Really enjoying these in-depth discussions on horticultural issues with industry experts. They are simply fascinating! 👍👏👏
What a phenomenal educator and scientist Kim is! Call me a geek but I got actual goosebumps when she spoke about the resistance to EAB and the efforts taking place to reinvigorate our forests. Can’t wait for part 2 …and putting the Morton on my travel bucket list. Thanks for a fantastic episode!
Same!!
Agreed…including the goosebumps! ❤️🌳❤️
We have a big ash tree here in east Tennessee. I'm trying to identify it and I believe it's a green. We found out through a tree cutter. He was at the neighbor's and my husband hates where the ash is so he asked him for a removal estimate. The guy started begging my husband not to cut it down--he even offered to prune it this fall very cheaply if he wouldn't cut it down. My late in-laws planted it around 1990 and when they passed my husband inherited the property. I never gave much thought to what kind of tree it is, but I love it and didn't want it removed at all. My husband I discussed it many times. Now, because it's an ash it gets to stay for sure.
Absolutely fascinating, and she is extremely engaging.
Yes she is!
She is! I want to hang out with her lol!!
Thank you very much Jim and Steph another beautiful tour Kim is so knowledgeable she sure knows her specialty more videos please. 👍❤️
This is absolutely fascinating! While living in St. Louis in the mid-90's, I planted two Purple Autumn Ash trees. Eventually, both were taken by EAB. I wanted to cry. Kim's vast info gives me hope for the future of ash trees in the US.
One of so many doing NCSU proud. I could listen to her go on and on. I wish I had known about horticulture as a profession (and passion) when I was younger. Thx to J&S for these, and to the Morton Arboretum and also the Chicano Botanic Garden the other day! I live in NC, but grew up near Madison, WI. I remember those elms dying in the 70s as a kid.
You and me both! I wish I had known back in my schooling years that my infatuation with plants could have led to a career. I'm only 34, so maybe it isn't too late to make a change.
Loved this video. At first sight of the title I was 'meh, trees' and then got sucked in within the first couple of minutes. Kim Shearer was an excellent guest and storyteller. Interesting through the whole video.
Trees are the soul to a landscape! I bought my house due to a main factor where there are lovely mature trees on the lot. These video series really make me appreciate the passion, patience and perseverance of these knowledgeable researchers and all those in the industry. 🌲Thank you Jim and Kim! 🇨🇦
That was a great interview! Thank you for travelling so far to bring her knowledge to your audience! Looking forward to part 2.
YESSSSSSS, TREES!!! 💚💚💚🙌💯
I love her enthusiasm! Fascinating information and I can't wait for part 2! 👍😃👏
Kim is delightful! Very interesting talk and tour.
Thank you Kim and Jim!! Can I get a course credit for watching this? 😉 So much excellent information!
Sure. I should start giving out credits🤣. Thanks for watching.
@@JimPutnam Jim Putnam’s online horticulture college! 👍
And clown college (landscape design)
Special!!!! Thank you and great expectations for Part 2!
Lots of good info. Let's plant more trees.
Fascinating video Jim!! Her passion is infectious! Such a smart, fun, geeky chick! Looking forward to part 2.
I am from Illinois. I remember as a kid I answered a call from a radio station. They said They were doing a contest. If I answered a question correctly I would win a prize. The question was, what companies jingle is “when it rains it pours?” I actually knew the answer. Morton salt. I have driven by the factory a couple times and saw the little girl with the umbrella on the building.
Very interesting video! Could listen to her for hours! Thank you for all you do!
Fascinating. I'm going to watch this again, and I'm looking forward to part two.
That's great news about the green ash! My forested lot has been devastated by EAB and just this year we lost an elm out of nowhere - it just up and died. 😥 I have a small forest of seedling trees to plant out but keeping them safe from the heavy deer pressure until they're big enough is a problem!
Smart lady and a great speaker!
So interesting listening to such a well spoken plant professional.
Surprisingly interesting information. Fascinating the work that goes on behind the scenes. Thanks for bringing this to us.
What a great vid Jim. As an Illinoisan I appreciate your visit to my state. :) That humongous State Street Maple is magnificent. I have seen it in person a few times at Morton.
Pest/disease resistant trees are top of our list. Hoping everyone watching will now go the extra mile and seek them out - even if it means planting a #6 vs. a larger B and B.
Loved loved loved this chat/tour!
She was great. Look forward to more videos.
Fascinating. We had to take down about six mature green ash trees from our property soon after we moved in (IL/Wi border). And we were gifted a tiny Dutch-elm-disease resistant American Elm about 15 years ago, which has unfortunately just had it's crown die. Trees like these are such a big time commitment, and it's so sad to lose a tree you've watched develop for 15 years.
I'm so happy I watched this video! Thank you for encouragement on Subscriber Sunday video:)
Wow she's great... Incredibly knowledgeable..
Yes she is!! Amazing really!
North Dakota State University has a DED resistant cultivar. A stand of elm were found near the river south of Fargo that were untouched by DED so they have bread them further and I believe they are now in the trade.
I hope you had a golf cart! Super interesting interview. I'm so glad this work is going on. As more people interact with plants, we need a balance with nature as well as ease & beauty. Thanks for this, wonderful camera work on beautiful spaces!
Been watching for years, live in IL. Really appreciate you coming up to do these last two tours. Been to both places a bunch and still learned a lot. Thank you!
Thank you for following along!
Invaluable research - very interesting.
Thank you!!!! for the time and effort you put into your videos. I watched all of them since I found you a year ago. They are very helpful to both my husband and myself.
So incredibly interesting! Thanks.
Love the discusssion on the emerald ash borer. I know Missouri is being devestated by them.
We were just there yesterday evening! Such a great place to explore, wish I could go once a week, but the drive is a bit too long for that. Can't wait to see part 2!
This was a fantastic video, Kim is certainly an enthusiastic advocate for 'her' trees. I really enjoyed listening to her!
Fascinating! Look forward to part two.
Fascinating information. I love deep dives. Looking forward to part 2. Thank You!
I loved this video!
Fascinating! Great video. Looking forward to part 2. 👍
Very interesting!
Great video! Love these plant breeding ones you are doing. Also loved how the camera continued to pan around the gardens. What a beautiful place!
Really enjoyed this. So interested in preserving our native species and biodiversity. Thank you!
Yay!!! I’ve been looking forward to this!
Me too! For a few years I wanted to do these videos.
@@JimPutnam Thank you, thank you!
Here north of Detroit we still have ash trees some mature ones barely hanging on and also plentlyful seedling ash that come up although I never see them get more than 25ft tall before they get knocked back by the EAB but many will continue to sprout back and grow. I've noticed they generally dont touch trees less than about 4 inches in diameter. Ash is still alive just they are functionally extinct as a timber tree.(I've observed ash is the only tree that will come up and make it through a thicket of buckthorn). Also have alot of elm both American and slippery elm, Slippery seem more resistant to the disease. They generally get quite large before the disease takes them and once it starts the tree is dead as a doornail within 3-4 weeks. It crazy it will go from perfectly healthy to dead. They seem to be slowly building natural resistance through.
So interesting
So glad that they are selecting for hydrangeas that not only thrive in colder harsher climes, but even more importantly support our bee populations. I must say I am really surprised how many plants are introduced that no longer are...
17:37- Mt Cuba is in Delaware (not PA)
Beautiful trees and shrubs 🙂
I’ve got two large Ash trees on my property in Raleigh. An arborist said that one is possibly the largest in Wake county. I’m currently treating them to ward of EAB, and the hope is that there are better protection options in 10-15 yrs.
alice this place !!
Way to generate suspense with leaving it at a cliff hanger! I had been set against placing anything from Asia into my garden after seeing what wisteria is doing to our native plants. UNTIL I WATCHED THIS VIDEO.
i am Super interested in the "lingering ash" research, definitely gonna be keeping tabs on that. here in MA after like 10 years of most all dying off, i've actually seen a nice set of green ash trees absolutely thriving and sending off millions of seeds every year
You should contact your local forestry office and let them know where you saw the trees (if they’re not already aware, that is). She said they’re about to initiate a nation wide search for elms in nature that have survived the EAB. How cool to would it be to play a small part in that study!
really cool stuff, esp the EAB stuff
🙋
I've heard about those elms with red fall color and I assume also dutch elm disease resistance. How close are they to having those publicly available?
Які гарні дерева
That elm with red fall colour.....🤔🤔 when will they be released? I would love like 5 of them
MOREEE PLEASE!
Part 2 is coming!
Fascinating, but also sad that so many tree species have been ravaged by non-native diseases or pests. There was an elm in the yard of a house I rented on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I always thought that was odd because I assumed all the elms died of Dutch elm disease. That tree looked like the one she showed us in this video.
Unfortunately, even though we have stopped intentionally importing things that could be invasive world wide trade will bring these enemies to us.
I would very much like to get into touch with someone about the lingering ash program or ash survival program. I live in Oklahoma's red river area and have a huge old beautiful green ash tree in my front yard that I affectionately call, Wise Ash. I have not found e.a.b. damage on my tree though the insects were identified in Oklahoma in 2016.
You could call the Morton arboretum and maybe even your local forestry office. Maybe someone could come out to study your Wise Ash.
@@heatherw.2751 Thank you. Do you think the local USDA office would be able to help?
@@shannonboroff9981 I don’t really know but I thought I heard Kim say they were starting some kind of study on a federal level. If your local forestry office can’t help, they may be able to point you in the right direction. Worth a shot!
