I think this has to be one of my favorite videos of the year so far! I love how you both shared details about each plant that we would never have heard or even thought to ask. Doug was a great guest and you both just bounced so nicely off one another!! 👍💖
Thanks for this great series, getting to hear from all these other wise and talented people! I enjoyed that Doug's choices were all a bit off the beaten path. (Thumbnail is cracking me up! You look like the gardening gods.)
Great content & great series, Jim. Over the past 2-3 years since I began watching you, your plant videos have been so inspiring and helpful for my zone 7a landscape planning. Some particular favorites you’ve recommended are Marvel mahonia, Soft Caress mahonia, Purple Daydream loropetulam, Florida Sunshine illicium, Woodland Ruby illicium, Spring Bouquet tinus viburnum, and numerous sarcococca varieties. All are 99% deer proof for me (exactly as you described). All are thriving due to your comprehensive placement and planting instructions. Hope you smile…my husband frequently asks if a plant is a “Jim Putnam recommendation” when I buy something new.
Great plant choices - but oh my, that Stellar Ruby Magnolia - I can see more than one in my garden in the near future !!! thanks for all the information and inspiration. go Spartans !!!! (my dad was an MSU grad !!)
Y'all are doppelgangers of each other! Hahaha!😂😂 Even the way you hold yer hands and jester as you describe plants! Loved watching and very educational! I cannot wait to get me some of those Oak Leaf Hydrangeas!!! 💗
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Those beautiful plants won't necessarily survive in my MI 6a zone, however, I still appreciate their beauty and the passion others have for them. Thank you Doug and Jim for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Really love to hear growers' experiences with various plants. Plants are expensive, so it is nice to go into a nursery with a few recommendations. Thanks for the video, Jim.
Hi Jim, enjoy your channel immensely. You bring something unique to gardening programs. I appreciate your environmental friendly approach to gardening and I hope more people will convert to no dig gardening, feeding the soil which eventually feeds the plants. I am fascinated by your horticultural background, apparently you have owned businesses across the industry but what made you decide to give them up? Is your current focus mainly on HortTube? I am sure many of your viewers would like to listen to your personal stories as well. Sophie from New Zealand, zone 10
I think I'd kill to have a beer with you guys! Ha. We would have a ton to chat about I think. Love your plant picks, sir! I always learn something new on this channel.
Oh I would love to hang with you guys some day. Started in retail nurseries in 1984, did a quick detour of interior plant design in 87, and quickly learned I would rather unload semi's of plants in the Phoenix Valley than worry about a spathiphyllum in a doctor's office.
Thank you, but don't worry about that. It never concerns me. Also don't tell them because youtube considers all engagement with a video good. So they are helping by accident 🤣.
I have had that Viburnum cross for a few years and did not known it was named. It has never bloomed in 3 years and the deer love it so,,, beware...in the nursery they must not have many deer but they munch on mine here in GA.
I enjoy you channel, but can you do more on plants with lower hardiness zones? I get a lot of good information from you, but I have to skip over all the zone 6 and 7 stuff. I'm barely zone 6, and we tend not to carry 6 stock here, since it's iffy depending on how far from the lake you are. But keep up the good work!
Jim, would you mix stellar ruby magnolia with other evergreens for a 35-40’ wide privacy screen? It doesn’t need to be taller than 12’ , but I’m having a hard time picturing it mixed. I was thinking about mixing in some emerald arborvitae and or sweet talker viburnum. for variety… thx
Gardeners stroke (caress) their plants. It's another way to sense them, gauge their health, and yes, appreciate them. It's like visiting a stable and stoking the horses' haeds.
@@JimPutnam Thanks Jim! I am always on the lookout for evergreen shrubs for the shade that are juglone tolerant. I have a small space that seems to kill every shrub I put into it. The only nearby tree I suspect is an ancient Hickory, which I understand is in the juglone producing category.
You two look like you could be brothers. You both even hold your hands in front of you the same! Great video!
I'm like Ricky Bobby. I never know where to hold my hands in the videos🤣
@@JimPutnam Same here, I'm always awkward.
Jim surrounds himself with great plants and great people. I am really enjoying this series. 😄
Plants or not, how cool is it to have a true friend for thirty five years? Awesome!
Pender’s has always been a great online resource for plant info. It’s nice to actually see it.
I could listen to this guy’s voice for hours.
I think this has to be one of my favorite videos of the year so far! I love how you both shared details about each plant that we would never have heard or even thought to ask. Doug was a great guest and you both just bounced so nicely off one another!! 👍💖
Impressive place! I could imagine walking around for hours looking at all the beautiful plants.
My Lord! Those drone shots. That place is HUGE! What a super nice guy! You guys look like brothers.
He seems very comfortable in front of the camera. great video. I love the oakleaf hydrangea.
Love this series! Quick and easy way to make my wish list huge!!

I really enjoyed this video, and seeing two old friends together again!🌸🌿🌸
Wow, the nursery is breathtaking! Thank you for introducing me to some stellar plants!

Liked this video, you should do another one with him. You look like brothers. Liked the magnolia since it is a small one.

Outstanding video. More importantly, talking plants in a language I can understand. Beautiful location. Keep up the great work!
Enjoy this series of videos! Must repeat this nursery and do a tour! 🌱
I shot another video that I think is gonna be a big one. It is about the nursery business
@@JimPutnam Can't wait! Your friend was a great co-host , very personable.
Enjoyed the information on all theses plants !
I'll take one of each haha. Thanks for another great video. Can we expect a tour of Doug's home garden one day ;)
WOW! This is so cool, thanks for another awesome video Jim!

I think I'd kill to have a beer with you guys! Ha. We would have a ton to chat about I think. Love your plant picks, sir! I always learn something new on this channel.
Delightfully informative
Love this video series !! Great tips- thank you !!!
Thanks for the video Jim. Always great videos been a blessing to myself being a new gardener. I appreciate you Sir. Thanks.
Oh I would love to hang with you guys some day.
Started in retail nurseries in 1984, did a quick detour of interior plant design in 87, and quickly learned I would rather unload semi's of plants in the Phoenix Valley than worry about a spathiphyllum in a doctor's office.
Adding that camellia to my birthday wish list. I could use a spreader.
Fantastic episode!
Thank you Jim.
From 19008 zone 7+
This was great, thanks!
Great video! Will be incorporating some of this plants in my garden :)
WOW, I'm impressed, those are the best looking plants I've seen anywhere.
Wow awesome tour! Thank you for introducing us to Pender Nursery!
Beautiful nursery!
Amazing place and thank you for some wonderful plant ideas :-)
Fabulous
I have two of the Pee Wee Hydrangeas and both are in full sun and do very well. I'm in zone 5 in New Hampshire and they come back year after year.
Great info🌿thanks
I don’t understand the thumbs down Jim, it is a great video!
Thank you, but don't worry about that. It never concerns me. Also don't tell them because youtube considers all engagement with a video good. So they are helping by accident 🤣.
Love your videos even tho can only grow the oak leaf In my 5 zone. Do love the oak leaf great for fall have one my my porch
Next spring and early summer all of these will be my friends in the north. I'm already setting them up. Thanks for watching
At first glance I thought you were brothers, even dress alike haha. Very informative and entertaining video.
I have had that Viburnum cross for a few years and did not known it was named. It has never bloomed in 3 years and the deer love it so,,, beware...in the nursery they must not have many deer but they munch on mine here in GA.

Is that Magnolia what used to be called Michelia Figo ??? We used to call it Bannana shrub but it had yellow blooms,,,,

👍❤️😊
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Apparently the camellia also has an English name of “white doves.” Another one for my list.
Can you keep the Marvel Mahonia smaller with pruning?
Very much. Probably under four feet. It's not in a hurry
👋😃
Is the Moonlit Lace Viburnum juglone tolerant?
A lot of Viburnum are not. Wouldn't know about this interspecies hydrid
@@JimPutnam Thanks Jim! I am always on the lookout for evergreen shrubs for the shade that are juglone tolerant. I have a small space that seems to kill every shrub I put into it. The only nearby tree I suspect is an ancient Hickory, which I understand is in the juglone producing category.
First!
Tha ks for watching!!
