There is more to this which will be in a video in the fall on the new Red Sky Holly from the Southern Living Plant Collection. It is a new Sky Pencil like Holly with awesome burgundy red new growth. It will be available in the fall.
I wish someone would take a piece of this industrial Phlox I found in a landscape dump. It's probably too aggressive on it's own but it's very resistant to powdery mildew, hard as nails, great bloomer. Certainly has potential. I'm in Georgia, how do I get these guys interested?
I love this channel because of videos like this. I think it would be really interesting to hear more in detail about how a university might do a trial and the plant ends up as a SLPC plant. Fascinating stuff!!
This is such valuable work! Thank you Dr. Ruter for putting plants through the paces, and searching for disease and drought resistance for our changing climate. And thanks to Jim and Stephany for bringing us these important voices!
So encouraging. I'm in TX on the Gulf Coast, Zone 9a, and I would love to have a blue conifer in my garden! Heatand humidity tolerance, and disease resistance.... thats what we need!
Dr Ruter, I'm in Dawson county & found an industrial Phlox in a landscape dump several years ago. It blooms after divaricata & well before paniculata. Most aggressive Phlox I've ever seen & very resistant to powdery mildew. Not at all bothered by pests, drought or cold. It doesn't reproduce from seed so I'm thinking it was some hybrid dumped for being too aggressive. Want some?
I’m gonna get that book, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing Jim, I hope if you’re ever near Aiken again you’ll stop by our new garden center!! Love your videos 👍👍
Love mountain mint. We had it in our garden in OK. Looking forward to new varieties! A weed came up in our Georgia garden last year attracting a similar # of wasps & pollinators, Eupatorium serotinum.
Dr. Ruter mentions spider mites and newly-discovered blights. I wonder if those increase as a function of a worsening of drought, or not. Could they simply be an existential problem that we're not fully aware of yet?
Love all you do and all the information you provide!!! Thank you! I do have a question. My limelights all have brown spots on them. Do I need to do something or just wait it out??? I have never had any problems with the limelights. I live in zone 7 Nashville area. Thank you.
Can you please, please recommend a conifer for Sputh Texas, San Antonio? No one sells anything but juniper and things that don't survive here. Thank you 😊
Danielle mentioned she had Lowes deliver these stones and saw in the reviews on the Lowes website how to lay these stones out. So, I am assuming this is a kit of some sort? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
anyone knows of any blue conifers I can grow in Central Florida 9b? near Orlando? I'm dying to get "blue" foliage in my garden! ❤ or any other blue I can grow? shade or sun.. mind our sun and humidity are killer.. 😔
If you're not living in zone 6 or cooler, don't waste your time and energy, or money on any of the Christmas tree conifers like leland cypress. They do not want to grow in those zones and will always be underperforming and usually stunt or atleast partially die due to things like passalora blight.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Tom’s. That was an awesome video (valuable).
What great work they’re doing. 👍🏼
Excited about the work on mountain mints!
This is great, thank you so much!
Evergreens aren't my favorite, but you made them interesting. Good work. I'm glad someone takes an interest in them.

There are cryptomeria, junipers, Cupressus, and cedars that are plenty heat tolerant.
Great video,very informative 🍃
