- Landscaping for screening and privacy is a huge for homeowners. If you are looking for privacy screening for your home, watch this! I've recently found Eagleston Hollies and I'm hopeful it will give us privacy and beauty for many years to come. I’m in Savannah, GA coastal zone 8b - Eagleston Hollies do well in zones 6-9
I planted this hedge along my fence with four hollies in a way that allows me to have under plantings. The idea is to soften the fence, add some height, beauty and privacy. I'm excited to watch this screen grow, watch the birds visit the hollies for their berries and get a nice screen and privacy. If you are looking for a screening and privacy solution you've got to watch this.

If these EH's grow from @15ft wide, aren't your trees planted too close to your property line ? At full growth, they will be hanging over your property line by quite a bit i would think. Shouldn't these be planted @7ft from your fence ? I want to plant these but i have a narrow yard was concerned the canopy at full growth would shade my entire yard.
Great question. I’m shaping them to look like a wall on both sides - like a true hedge. I’ve already been shaping them that way to make sure they never hang over the fence. If you plan on keeping the natural look you are exactly right and should plant them 7ft from center to fence. Hope that clarifies. I should have explained that better. Thank you!!!
You're allowed to plant as close as you want to on the property line. Anything that hangs over to the neighbor's side is their responsibility to tend to.
@@Martin-iv6lq yes, I did an update video where I show that I’ve been able to keep them on my side of the property. It’s pretty nice on both sides. I stay on top of it to make sure everyone is happy. 😊
@@homeandlifewithcynthiathis is what my neighbor does. His evergreens r on our property line. He maintains them and lets us know every yr when the trimmers are coming out. When he sells I’d actually like to remove them and put a fence.
@@tcaver thanks for sharing your perspective. So far, everything has worked out with my neighbors and I am careful to trim and stay within my side of the fence even making sure no trimmings fall on the other side. I do have to keep up with them consistently to ensure zero issues. That's on me of course.
I would love it if the uploaders of these gardening videos mentioned their gardening zone in the titles of their videos. It would help us, viewers, to watch the ones we really need.
Thanks for the feedback. I can post it in the comments section or on my channel description. As a YT creator, I can tell you it’s tricky on the titles because it affects the algorithm … but I get your point for sure! ☺️
She mentioned Savannah
I think it’s just as easy to memorize my zone and google if the plants they mention in the video work for my zone . They’re already doing so much free work for us with these videos, I wouldn’t ask for more when the info is already provided.
@@pamelawoodall5891 she also said zones 6-9.
@@pamelawoodall5891Savannah is USDA Zone 8b.
Speaking my language in this video!!! I love these plants/trees and love love privacy in my garden. These are beautiful trees.
Happy so far. One year later and I’m loving them!
The delivery of the commentary in your videos is outstanding.
Thank you so much!
She's in Savannah Georgia. It's coastal, and Zone 8b. Hope that helps anyone who is asking. I also wish it said in the description what zone people were in. It makes a huge difference and saves a lot of time for us other gardeners. For the makers of these videos, you don't have to put it in the title, you can add it in the description or announce it at the beginning of your video.
I added it to the description 😉. Thank you!
Thank you so much - this is the exact video I've been looking for to help me with my back yard hedge issue.
Oh that makes me happy to hear
I love my eagleston Hollie’s so much! The bees go crazy for the blooms in the spring and the birds love the berries. I
Yessssss! They are awesome!
I’m in New Jersey and I’m having a difficult time finding them, does anyone know where I can buy them and how much roughly they are?
@@Dukewiggles; Were you able to locate a seller for these magnificent trees? I am still looking. 😀
I love your screened porch with the curtains! Brilliant! Beautiful back yard very spacious!
Thank you!
Looking for living privacy screens ideas for my neighbor windows.This was very helpful. Thank you for uploading.
So glad it was. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Im a new gardener ..3rd spring in my house so I appreciate who shared their gardening tips.Thank you
You’re welcome and I wish you many many hours of fun and adventure!
@Bliss Home & Garden thank you ...I am and I hope this 3rd spring added plants will stay
I hope you do an update on this, this year! I definitely am interested in this design ❤ I have both limelight and little limelight punch and relate to your style! I love that the dwarf variety doesn't flop and has a great color change for fall! Currently I have some potted bamboo for privacy but am very curious about the eagleston hybrid.
I have a spring garden tour video but I’ll also make one later this summer to show an update. They are growing beautifully. You can also see them in the loquat video I made recently.
Aint never seen someone edit in a progress projection of the plants! Thats wild how it helps to really see what ur imagining!
So glad you appreciated that. Thx!!
Thank you so much for such an informative video! I’m looking for privacy and color options that the deer won’t devour.
You have such amazing vision and dedication 🌳
Glad it was helpful!
Im taking on my backyard this year by planting some extra trees and flowering bushes. Your info was concise and so helpful. Def subscribing!
Yessss! So glad to hear that and thank you!!!!
I LOVE this! This is exactly what I was looking for and first time hearing of this particular holly. I have a privacy fence but my house is on a slight hill and the neighbors living room windows look directly onto my patio. I think this would be the perfect solution.
Oh I know that feeling. I hope you can buy them in your area and find a great solution! Best to you!
Same! Thank you so much for this video!
THANK YOU for showing the maturity, future visuals! 👏🏼 This is the FIRST, for me, to see such images which is so helpful for the beginner gardener of unknown plants & trees. The measurements on the tags don’t work for me. 😊 Beautiful backyard.
So glad it was helpful. I’m eager to see the trees in person and share when they grow some more
Aww, love the hollie ❤ def need one
What a nice idea! This is beautiful.
Thank you!
Well done and very informative. Thank you for sharing
Glad I found your channel. Great looking yard and beautiful trees. Have same issue in yard installed 6 ft privacy fence, still not enough. Need to plant trees for more privacy thank you for ideas.
Plus trees are more beautiful than fences! 😁
You have helped me broaden my horizon,I have learned so much from you.
Thank you ❤much love from England 🏴
Much love right back at you!
It's the Hydrangeas for me :)
Ohhhh… I have to do this in my yard for sure. Beautiful❣️
Glad to hear it was helpful
Great video. I will for sure be looking closely at the Eagleston Holly trees. I need something like them in my backyard. Will have to find out pricing on them. Thanks for the share of the video. Cheers!
Love your enthusiasm!
I love hollies, yes even the prickly berry ones. I have them in a hedgerow. They look gorgeous all year round (no they don't drop berries, the birds get them). For myself I got some Taylor junipers and American Pillar arborvitae to make a privacy hedge though. For me to buy full sized hollies would have cost an absolute fortune, since they grow so slowly in my climate. I underplanted with limelights in one row and just a mixed flower bed in the other. Your hedge will look gorgeous, I'm glad you got something so beautiful.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I had been so scared about hollies but now I’m like why???!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
In Oklahoma the one variety used for privacy is the “Nelly Steven’s holly
Then in Michigan, there is the Michigan Holly but since there is an overgrow deer population many privacy trees get nibbled badly.
What do you recommend for privacy deer resistant?
Deer will eat everything if they don’t find food, except Daffodils
That’s a great question. I grew up in Indiana and I know that deer was always a consideration in the garden. I wonder if false cypress or viburnum would be good plants to research for a privacy hedge. I have sweet viburnum on another side of the house and I heard the deer will eat the flowers but they won’t bother the plant. I don’t have a deer problem so I couldn’t tell you with complete confidence, but it’s worth looking into those two as options.

I love your garden It is beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Such great tips! I learned the hard way to do my research and got trees that grew too large. Now I don't rely on the landscape place I buy it from.
Very nice! This may be a solution for my yard! 🙂
That's what I thought too but the pervert next door keeps cutting the privacy bush/trees.😐
Thanks!!!!just what i need for my narrow driveway with neighbors that are higher up with several windows on their second level.
The only hard part is waiting for them to hurry up and grow. Get them as big as you can to get you a head start. Best to you!
I love your video's! Your passion shines through and you make me feel like I can actually bloom where I am planted, too! Thanks.
Would love to see an update!!! We just purchased the Eagleston for our fence line as well based on your detailed video.
It’s growing and filling in nicely. I’m happy.
BTW! your sunset is spectacular!
You have a beautiful back yard 👍🤗
Lol, I have apartments overlooking my yard and it's so annoying. I totally understand!
It's also disrespectful because it's like me taking a ladder and looking into my neighbor's backyard... I wouldn't do that for other than a peek. I don't know when they open their windows. There are three of them. Two of them do it very, very often. I've been choosing to feel uncomfortable when they open their windows.
On the other hand, i also understand their perspective. They have these windows, probably to their rooms, and want some light- i get it. 😭
Anyway, I've been thinking about planting bamboo there with a raised bed. I think bamboo is the best since it grows more quickly
I don't know how well a tree would do there since there are taller non-evergreen trees, which for some reason don't have very many leaves this year, right behind where I would plant. I also want to completely block out the view.
Only thing is that dirt for the project along with bringing it here would probably be about $400-500 and the planter boxes would be another $400-500
So $1000 and four years of wait time...
An option would be to build a tall patio, but that would probably cost even more (2-8x)
And another one would be to buy some sort of fake plants or to make some kind of wall- but that'd be two stories and I'd prefer it not to look like fort Knox lol.
I empathize with your thoughts and feelings. I like your “I choose to feel uncomfortable”. My neighbor works from home and sits at that window looking into my yard from Monday through Friday whatever her work hours are. I suppose she doesn’t like any other room in her house to do that. She is very nosy and wants to know everything I’m doing. She would even comment on her observations. Bc I make YT videos, I feel uncomfortable being watched all the time. I have allowed this to prevent me from making more videos. The garden used to feel like my special moment and connection with nature. It was my special time. But since i have a window vigilante, I feel like a squirrel taking action in front of an audience. I suppose I can choose to feel differently, but yikes that’s gonna take a lot of mindset work. I could see myself as a film maker with a live studio audience? Get used to people watching me all the time even during sacred me time? And yes, I spent $1000 on those 4 trees and need to wait for them to grow so 🤷🏻♀️. I ended up putting curtains in the covered porch so I at least have that space to claim for my own.
I would not plant bamboo into the ground. Once you turn bamboo loose into open soil it spreads like crazy. It is a nightmare to control or eradicate. Plant bamboo in containers and place those on a cement base so the roots cannot gain access to open ground. Giant Bird of Paradise also spreads but much more slowly.
This was a great video Mrs. Cynthia 🌱♥️
Looks great
Thank you!
Very informative and I like the idea of the holly trees. You covered everything one needs to consider when seeking privacy in the landscape.
Thanks for your feedback!
Wow! You are doing a great job, first time watcher
Thank you so much!
The berries are great for the birds.
Saw those birds enjoy the berries this past winter and I loved watched them from the covered porch while drinking coffee in the morning. Haaapppy!!!
Great video! Are the roots invasive? I would like to plant near my driveway but I don’t want it to mess it up.
I’ve seen so many people plant these near their fence and when I asked various nursery owners and landscapers they said the roots are not an issue. I would still get a second opinion from landscapers and nurseries in your area just to be sure.
Nice and very informative video thank you for this!!
I have a smaller front yard adjacent to other properties in my townhome. I decided to plant 32 (!!) emerald greens, as I want privacy fast from the noisy neighbors with the chainlink fences! But, I do wish that I had considered other options such as this. I installed the plants myself, it was hard work but a great learning experience, and I really needed the workout
Well, I would have to say in landscaping my own yard that I’ve learned tons of lessons, kissed the sun so many times, and dripped plenty of sweat. I am glad it has kept me active. I wish you a gorgeous natural privacy fence and the joy of watching them grow. ☺️
@@homeandlifewithcynthia thank you so much! Neighbor already made a comment about them getting into the sewer (obviously wrong). People gonna hate 😂finished today and it’s already so peaceful.
WELL done.
Thank you!
Wow! What a beautiful garden!!!! I live in Austin Tx and my Hydrangea always died here .I always love beautiful gardens.
Thank you so much!
Those hollies are nice!
I love them! Thx
Thank you Cynthia! New subscriber here. Great info!
Thanks so much. So glad you are here!
Look nice but one more thing to consider is the width is 15 to 20 ft. meaning the tree will spread into your neighborhood yard they might like it or hate it
The bushes are all too close to the fence. My neighbor did not appreciate any of the bushes I had planted along the fence. From my unfortunate experience is that the closest that any bush should be planted to a fence is 5 feet. This will allow you to have 3' of foliage growing from the trunk towards the fence and 2' for me to squeeze by and trim it with my chainsaw.
I had planted all of my bushes at 2' from the fence, when I trimmed them back to keep peace with the neighbor, I had to cut everything off from the trunk, exposing the center of the bushes destroying years of beautiful growth and maturity and eliminating all of the foliage which gave privacy. Now there is only 50% of the density which is all growing on my side of the trunks. But my neighbor is happy as he sprays the Round-Up and admires the ugly metal chain-link fence.
My plan is to rent a back-hoe and relocate all of the trunks to a minimum of 5' from the fence. Because hacking all of the bushes to the trunks is something I never want to do again.
@@richardmang2558Your neighbor sounds like an ass. We have to cut back our neighbors trees to keep it off our fence but I am happy to do it and would never complain.
The curtain video is how i found you 🤗 i love the trees you chose. I hope you can get the 5th holly 👍 this is our first summer in this house but next year we absolutely need more privacy. I really like your fence, can i ask, is it 6 feet tall? I really enjoyed this video, you are so informative. The mock up of the trees growth, GORGEOUS!
Thx! Yes, the fence is a normal 6 foot fence except at the back it goes down cause we have a nice view of a small lake at the back. If you noticed, it starts sloping down towards the cherry tree towards the back.
Yes, do plant the 5th holly.
Yes, I’ve been itching to do so! Thx for feedback. You are right.
Would hoa’s have restrictions on tree planting even tho is your backyard?
You might have to check your HOA. Mine is almost non-existent. However, I do know that anything beyond my fence - even air space - so a branch going over on their air space is theirs. I planted these to where I could keep them trimmed like a wall and stays 100% on my side. If however, I were to let them go over to their side, they can trim them or do as they please. I’m pretty communicative with our neighbor and keep it neat and tidy at all times so we have no issues. That’s something to keep in mind for sure and consideration for how much work you want for yourself. As far as the trunk or roots, various landscapers told me they aren’t obnoxious or take over. Maybe you won’t want to plant them as close to your fence in your neighborhood based on your HOA rules. All cases are different for sure. Good point.
Omg I just found your channel and I live in Savannah too!
How cool! I’m over in RH but no one knows where that is. Have a lovely day!
These are nice!
Beautiful yard
Thank you for your kind words. Even though it took me a while to reply 😁 I wish you a wonderful week!
can we get an update of the trees plz?

Thank you for your sweet comment
I think having privacy in your backyard is perfect when there’s a swimming pool.
Oh I would love a swimming pool. I have the perfect spot! They are so expensive these days. My neighbors have quotes of $70K 😱
I would have a pool in the backyard so I wouldn’t have to put on swim trunks to go swimming.
Did you say you’re in Savannah, GA? I’m building in Pooler and I have to come up with a landscaping plan for privacy. What landscaping company do you use/where’d you get your trees?
How far should I space spruce trees for privacy and a windbreak.
I’m not a spruce expert but consider the size at maturity for both width at the bottom and if they’ll touch up at the top. I’ve seen spruce trees staggered in 2 rows for maximum privacy and to ensure they do have ample space to grow. It depends on the spruce variety. They look beautiful staggered and trees end up really healthy. I urge you to research that. ☺️
How are yours doing now? I planted three in April and they grew 16 inches in 4 months in the 107 degree Texas days we have had. I'm stunned at how fast they grew! Of course, I have been watering daily in this drought so maybe that's why!
I live in the Texas hill country. Can you tell me where you bought them?
@@craigscott7315 I bought them at Hope Valley Tree farm in Bastrop. However, shortly after I posted the above post bragging about their growth, they took a little nose dive and started getting black spots in the middle of the leaves all over on each tree. I called three arborists out. There was a debate as to whether it was a fungal infection or sunburn. I treated for fungal with copper spray just in case because I was scared I over watered (it won't hurt regardless). The majority of the arborists and nursery professionals said most likely sunburn from the consistent triple digit weather. Mine are in full sun.... just a warning.. however, a lot of trees/plants are getting sunburn, not just eaglestons... luckily the triple digits are ending soon, but I moved my big umbrella after I realized what was happening to them and now they have shade a small part of the day (every bit helps). Plus, I worrt about eaglestons high acidity soil requirement (since they arent native here) overtime since we have naturally akaline soil. I think the trick though is to test soil ph and it it's too high, add soil acidifer every so often to base and surrounding areas.... but this needs to be handled delicately.. because it you put too much, you could also hurt the trees. I would get soil ph tester kits to figure out your baseline and take it from there. I think I am going to water every other day now.... them when temps go down, every 3 days or so. I adjust accordingly. I added Holly Tone to the top of soil a few months ago with helps acidify. Goodluck.
What software or app did you use to create the digital mockup of your design?
Question? At what height does the tree start to have coverage? I noticed your fence below allows space for air flow or would that matter in this case?
Mine start right at 4 feet but the idea is for them to start the greenery right at the top of the fence.
@@homeandlifewithcynthia;
I tried locating this tree in my zone 9b area but to no avail. 😞Any advice?
Hello, what state are you in? I bought some eagleston hollies here in Austin, TX. I am scared how they will fare here. We have very hot summers (up to 110 sometimes) and ice storms (down to 10 degrees in rare instances). I am zone 8b
.. the internet says it thrives in zones 6a through 9b. However, this particular holly is not native to central texas... it's native to soutn eastern states like florida....
I am in Savannah, GA - zone 8b, pretty close to zone 9a. When you find a retailer for your area, you should be able to ask them and confirm. Mine did fine in the winter, and when I googled the requirements, it states zones 6-9. I’ve also seen them down in Florida. Hope that helps.
Very nice !
What is the name spelled for the other tree ?
Not the Holly is it loquat ?
Is it ever green as well
Love this video, but where are you located, zone?
Great video! Do you have any recommendations for privacy for lots without a fence in the northeast? I suppose arborvitaes are the go-to but curious if you had other thoughts. Thank you.
Where are you located? Your zone is gonna determine a lot of stuff. Just make sure to check my recommendations with your zone. However, I have loved the viburnums and tea olive and it’s worth researching laurel. I haven’t planted laurel but I read about it all the time. All are evergreen.
Awesome🥰
Thanks 🤗
Do you think Podocarpus southern living Roman candles could also work alternating between hygrangeas?
Yes, I have podocarpus in other areas of the yard and they do grow tall. You can choose to keep them filled or trim them like trees at the bottom. That’s up to you. They grow at a moderate rate
Do you remember what gallon size these trees were when you planted them?
I want to say 30 gallon. I need to call the nursery and confirm. I bet the price went up now
@@homeandlifewithcynthiaTy I’m picking up 7x 15 gal size trees. Would 7 or 8 ft spacing between trunk be better for them to grow in?
What are your thoughts on Eagleston vs Savannah hollies?
I think they are similar and it’s a matter of preference. Both are pyramidal and don’t have invasive roots which is great. Maybe see price and what you see most in your area. I think either would work out great. 😊
How many gallon were these eagleston hollies when you planted them?
I love the eaglestone holly but I am worried about my dogs. I heard the red berries are poisonous to pets
I can understand that however, I feel like when you google if a plant is toxic to animals just about everything comes up as toxic. Maybe check with a local vet to be sure.
Oh! I See savannah, zone 8b!
Does insects bother your trees? I have Lyme disease and can’t be sure with insects & bees! Thanks so very much! Cynthia:)
Hi there! These trees attract birds. I haven’t seen other insects around them but I’m not 100% sure. I see a lot of birds around them around this time of the year. The birds eat all the berries before they have time to drop. Hope that helps.
Great video and info, thanks for sharing! I'm looking to add some privacy and I have about 10-12ft. between fence and a patio slab, what tree can I plant that won't grow too tall above 20 ft. and should I be worried about planting too close to the fence? Right now it's just all grass in my area.
Hi there! That’s hard to just blare out an answer. What zone are you in? And is the area full sun (how many hours of sun does it get?) other things to consider is soil type and some nuisances in your area.
@@homeandlifewithcynthia Hi I'm in Houston area, so Zone 9, the ground is clay but there is a french drain nearby, and will get full sun. Some types I'm hearing about is Crepe Myrtles, Magnolia, and maybe Wax Myrtles? Wanted to see if there might be any other suggestions.
Okay, well if you want evergreen options then the wax myrtle is nice, it’s a bit more of a free style plant. It doesn’t have a structured shape naturally. Some people don’t love them bc they aren’t super sturdy and can easily break with heavy winds, but they do add privacy and we have them all over here. Your area is probably very similar to mine. Landscapers around here use podocarpus quite beautifully… as well as the bottle brush tree. That can be kept like a bush or shaped like a medium size tree. Those are nice evergreens. And they can really give you dense privacy. If you don’t mind deciduous trees there are also many options to choose from but you’ll have no privacy in winter and in our areas winters can have nice weather too. So with the crepe myrtles and other trees you had mentioned, they won’t give you privacy over winter months. Oooh, also viburnums are great for privacy. I planted a whole row of them and they grew to about 10 feet in 3 years. I should make a video on all of these actually. Hope that helps!
What are those bushes with the white florals? They're really beautiful!
They are white hydrangeas. Hydrangea paniculata
@@homeandlifewithcynthia thank you. Are they hard to maintain? I am trying to figure out how to spruce up my backyard. I don't have a green thumb 😕
@@NYCAppl3 I would say they are relatively easy. They like morning sun and evening shade. Anytime you plant something new, you need to give it more attention but after the first year, they are pretty good on their own. It also depends on where you live but it’s likely a good one for people who say they don’t have a green thumb.

What are prickly things?
lol 😂 - the pointy leaves 🍃
Do the Eagleston trees drop leaves? I’m looking for privacy trees by our above ground pool, that are not messy.
No - they are evergreen solutions. That’s why I chose them. You need to talk to your local nurseries because they’ll have the ins and outs of your area, but this is an amazing solution for privacy. I’m several months in and loving them. I need to make a follow up video.
Hi, Do you know a similar Holly tree for Zone 5a? Thanks
Hi, what would you the minimum bed spacing from fence to patio be? We have a pool with about 2.5 feet of bedding from travertine to fence. Is this too tight? If its too tight we will most likely have to do taylor junipers.
Ooooh, I’m afraid it’s too tight because you’d need at least 5 feet total (and that is pushing it (2.5 on front and back). The roots aren’t invasive from what I understand but particularity with travertine, I would be careful. The taylor junipers would look pretty as well and it says it has a growth habit of 3 feet wide. I would ask the nursery where I get them, they’ll have the most intel and feedback from their customers based on experience. Hope that helps.
If that is a wooden fence, will it be impossible to do maintenance on the fence, when the plantings mature?
My husband mentioned that concern initially, but the idea is that the tree canopies will be trimmed up to the top of the fence and the other hydrangeas can be trimmed at the end or beginning of any season.
@@homeandlifewithcynthia I built a very tall privacy fence that was wood. Looked great on both sides of the fence. Their two dogs would bark as soon as I went into my backyard, so out went the chain link fence. Neighbors from NY then questioned if I didn’t like them! LoL I got two narcissists trying to control me. Not going to work at all! I am sygma. I go my own way and I just don’t care what anyone thinks. So now I hardly see the neighbors. These privacy fences are so nice!
How far apart did you plant them??
Hi there! 5.5 feet from center
Your video was great! It was done really well! Ur yard will be so beautiful once mature. :) What zone are in?
Thank you! I’m in zone 8b - coastal Georgia
Big Ditto on that
Interesting choice............I'm surprised at how close to the fence you planted them given the eventual spread of the tree.
Remember they can be pruned to be wall like - it will be easy for me to keep them from going over the fence by pruning
I have a one story house and directly behind my house is a 2 story house, close proximity, and the master bedroom window looks down on my yard. This is defiantly what I am looking for, my yard was killed off due to the drought, all my very large trees cut down due to being to close to the fence, my neighbor has made comments on how unsightly it is, they did not kill of their backyard like the Gov. told them to. So just like a staircase small steps equal big steps. We are in a zone 9a, high heat low humidity but not the desert. Ca. Inland Empire
It is so uncomfortable to feel watched, particularly in the master bedroom. I sure hope this is your solution. Idk how much you’ll pay for these in your area but it’s worth researching. Good luck!
What are the name of the small bushes with white flowers ??
hydrangeas 7:54

Do they survive winter? I’m in Michigan
USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6A through 9B - I’m not sure what zone you might be in Michigan, zone 5? I’ve learned from working in a nursery that if you can find them in a local nursery (not the big box stores) then they grow well in your area. Your zone might do better with other type of evergreens though like the arborvitae. Talk to the small nurseries owners. They are a wealth of information.
Love this., can I plant this in New jersey ?
If they sell it in your area, you sure can. It’s listed as zones 6-9

Do you have an update video?
Not yet, it’s been raining a lot so maybe I can make one soon!
I love my eaglestons by my pool in SouthEast Texas. I do find that no nurseries around here have them or no what I'm talking about when I ask about them. I had to have a landscaper do my trees. Have no idea where he got them....
Are the berries messy near your pool? We need something like this but I'm hesitant to plant anything messy because we have a pool.
@jamieaton no the berries are no problem next to pool neither are the leaves. The trees do take some time to build strength. I've had 3 die due to drought and heat last year....which really sucks. And have to watch the wind because they are somewhat fragile with the thin trunk. But they are really good trees next to the pool if mother nature would quit slamming me
@@doctor41baller Thank you. We get heat too in the summer, very dry and hot. I better check their sun exposure. It might be too hot where I want to put them.
If you are growing the loquat for the fruit, you can keep it pruned to under 6 feet.
Good advise (except I also like the privacy and shade it gives). We bought a long stick at the dollar tree believe it or not that is used to pick up stuff on the ground that also works for picking fruit. You are totally right though about keeping it small if you want to reach the goodies easily!
What is the distance between the fence and the tree trunk?
It’s about 3 feet, however I plan on training those like a hedge wall. They will be trained so that the limbs do not go over to the neighbors side. Their purpose is privacy. If you plan on a more natural form at maturity (without trimming them) you should consider spacing them farther from the fence to maybe 5-6 feet.
Never mind whats best for wildlife, lets all worry about berries getting messy.
