Hello Jim, i am loving your new channel! I am in Charleston SC zone 8 with tons of deer and appreciate the deer info on the plants featured. I also have tons of shade and am trying to use native species and cultivars so hope you will feature natives as well. I have the anise, the deer dont touch it! You could have a native playlist!
I'm truly surprised that it is not used more often in home gardens. A great plant all around. Glad you are spreading the word about Mahonia. How does it take to being transplanted? And when?
I'm very interested in the Beijing (something) Mahonia that you have in a nursery container in your backyard. It has sawtooth leaves. I think that one looks cool.
I bought one of these on a recommendation from one of your first videos on these and it has definitely not disappointed mine is planted by an oak tree for the partial shade that it needs. It is doing fabulous so you are not kidding about the drought tolerance because we all know how oaks steal water and it is perfect
Congrats on the new channel !!! I would really like to see you do a video on your golden St. Johns Wort in your back yard . Awesome plant !! Thanks for your constant efforts...
Super unique plant! I don’t know if I have a place in my garden where this would thrive :-( Thanks for including the image of the mature specimen from the arboretum.
Loving the format of your new channel!! I live in New England / zone 5 so I can't grow these but I am really enjoying learning about the gorgeous plants that can be grown in other zones.
Winter flowers, so beautiful. Just removed our large privacy screen of Leland cypress trees that bordered our neighbors. Looking to replace with easier controlled more beautiful evergreen. Thanks for all the info.
Helpful information. I have some that were difficult to get started, but have prospered since. On a different topic, I planted some alliums this afternoon, and was thrilled to see white streaks, which I think indicate good micro activity in the soil. Hope so.
I love mahonia - such a great winder bloomer - really brightens up a garden. And these days, so many varieties have come to the nurseries one doesn't have to worry about it being "invasive" ... a great addition to any garden
Mahonia have been on myblist for a really long time. I kept waiting for them to show up at one of the box stores last fall (like they did the fall before) and I never saw them, so it must have been a big year for them!
I bought this plant about a year ago, and it is still in a gallon size container. I am still not sure where the best place to put it in my yard. I also have "Soft Caress" which is also in a container - a larger one - so it doubled its size in one year. I love both types of Mahonia!
Deer munched by "Soft Caress" almost to the ground (worried they might die), but did not touch my "Marvel" which was only 30' away. It's doing very well with only late day sun.
I have the larger leaf one and it reseeds like crazy. It’s hard to stay on top of it. Other than hoeing is there anything else I can do to control the amount of plants that pop up? The birds usually eat most of the berries and yet I’m constantly pulling out seedlings. Would heavy mulch help at all?
Jim, I've had a couple of plants coming up from seed from my Mahonia 'Soft Caress'. Are they worth potting up and will they be true to form like the parent plant?
Would this grow in Montana? Zip code 59301. Thank you :-) I enjoy your videos! I watched a lot of them last spring and summer. We had just moved into our house in April and have a fairly big yard full of plants and flowers that I had no idea what most of them were. I Planted more flowers shrubs and herbs myself as well. My uncle has some honeybees and I was hoping to get more plants that attract honey bees and hummingbirds as well as any bird. There’s a flower bed behind our house that the previous owner had planted and it attracts a lot of different butterflies. That was really fun to see! I’m looking forward to spring!! Who isn’t this time of year? Especially if you live in colder climates

I had limited knowledge of Mahonia varieties and thought I didn't like it. You've introduced us to great varieties! I'm sold!
This is a great addition to your established channel
Thanks for following along!

Thanks so much for this playlist! It made it so easy to quickly explore plants that will grow in my area!
I have several of these in my garden in DFW Texas. One of very few perennials that flowers in winter. Love them!

The added information at the end is wonderful! Thank you 😊
Really appreciate your coverage of evergreen flowering shrubs.
Super duper interesting plant - love when you get into the crosses and their histories!
Love the flowers on this one and the screening ability was incredible. I had never heard of this one. Thanks for the video.

I love this channel. Thanks for the thorough descriptions.
Thanks for the tips on pruning these! Very helpful.
Love this for a retaining wall that is part shade. Been trying to create a "woodland garden" look there.
this is a very interesting plant - i bet it is impressive in bloom - do you have this in your landscape?
Love this plant! Didn’t know about this new channel. Your videos have been so helpful!!
Congrats on your new channel. Lovely plant.
I love these plant specific videos!!
Loving the new channel Jim.
This plant is so unusual looking. I would love to add it to my yard!
I'm enjoying the videos on your new channel.
Beautiful plant! I have a huge mahonia bush (not Marvel) that’s blooming now. I’ve never done a thing to it in 20 years.
I love there is something for the bees in December!
Not sure why it took me so long to add these to my garden. Now they are one of my favorites.
Congrats on the new channel !!! I would really like to see you do a video on your golden St. Johns Wort in your back yard . Awesome plant !! Thanks for your constant efforts...
I love your comments on this mahonia. I must seek a source and add to my collection of mahonias!
Great pruning tips.
Evergreen part shade screen, that's super useful! Will have to keep that one in mind. I don't think I've ever seen them in the stores here though.
The Mahonia's yellow flowers would be nice foundation plant. The fact it blooms in winter is unique!
Super unique plant! I don’t know if I have a place in my garden where this would thrive :-(
Thanks for including the image of the mature specimen from the arboretum.
Please do more pruning videos - they are soooo helpful!
Loving the format of your new channel!! I live in New England / zone 5 so I can't grow these but I am really enjoying learning about the gorgeous plants that can be grown in other zones.
I am really enjoying your detailed new videos.
Looking to add one of these in a corner at my new house! Used soft caress in the past.
Great video!
I was hoping for some propagation advice
But I love your enthusiasm 😊
Winter flowers, so beautiful. Just removed our large privacy screen of Leland cypress trees that bordered our neighbors. Looking to replace with easier controlled more beautiful evergreen. Thanks for all the info.
Great stuff!

Beautiful shrub 🥰
I have a few Soft Caress and love them. I’d like to find a spot for a few of the Marvel. Thanks Jim.

They really are!

Interesting plant. Too large for my garden but it is neat to look at in your garden.
It’s beautiful

I'm planting one this Spring; I have several areas of dry shade hoping this is a fit.
I recently planted two Marvel Mahonias so was very glad to see this video. Also would be great to win your consultation giveaway!!!
I planted 3 Marvel Mahonias under a tall ash tree. Hope the treatment for the emerald ash borer doesn’t effect my mahonias.
I’d love to try to grow this in a tree form!
Deer munched by "Soft Caress" almost to the ground (worried they might die), but did not touch my "Marvel" which was only 30' away. It's doing very well with only late day sun.
I do love these videos, is there a way you could include online links where they can be found?
There is a link in the video to Plants by Mail. They often have it
I have the larger leaf one and it reseeds like crazy. It’s hard to stay on top of it. Other than hoeing is there anything else I can do to control the amount of plants that pop up? The birds usually eat most of the berries and yet I’m constantly pulling out seedlings. Would heavy mulch help at all?
Sounds like Marvel Mahonia lives up to the old adage: the first year they sleep, the second year they creep, the third year they leap 😁
Can i trim the green leafs off so i can have what looks like a palm tree 😜
Are there other types of Mahonia hollies? Mine looks totally different but we call it Mahonia holly..
Jim, I've had a couple of plants coming up from seed from my Mahonia 'Soft Caress'. Are they worth potting up and will they be true to form like the parent plant?
They will likely be slightly different. Definitely worth growing out.
@@gardenplantswithjimputnam8653 Thanks Jim! I'll pot them up this spring!
Can you prune the lower branches of mahoni to make it more into a tree form (something resembling a palm tree or small Amelanchier)?
Yes definitely. They will do that on their own, if they are never pruned.
What's the Mahonia that can live in zone 5?
Mahonia!!
I didn't realize the flower spikes were so big
Can you propagate this by cuttings under mist?
Yes, mahonia root pretty easily. A lot of varieties I did from seed at the nursery.
👋😃
Wow makes soft caress look like a little baby by comparison.
