Buying fully grown trees in Japan
ฝัง

- We've been doing a TON of work on our yard and one of the most fun parts of that has been buying trees! Turns out you can buy FULLY GROWN trees, some even two stories high, and have them delivered and planted for you. This is called Ueki Matsuri (Garden Plant aka Tree Festival), although it's more of a market than a festival. (Everything's called a festival here.) Tree farmers, landscapers, etc all bring out a bunch of their plants and set up shop for about a month. Kind of like a flea market for trees! A lot of these trees and plants are way cheaper than you find at garden centers or nurseries, often they're impeccable quality, and many of them you can't buy anywhere else. In the intro clips for this video we show a hainoki tree (Japanese sapphireberry) we bought at another tree market last month that's over 30 years old! (We'll show planting and everything later on!)

We're back!!! Now that it's getting warmer we're doing a ton of work on our yard, and the most fun part is buying big-ass trees! We recently went to our first ever tree festivals (more like tree markets) where you can buy extra special (mostly native Japanese) trees that aren't available anywhere else. We've also been filming our gardening work so we'll make a video about that later. :D
Everything has been amazing in our new house! Our cats love it, our neighbors are all still really nice, and we adore having a garden and yard beyond words. It's so beautifully quiet here, and there's a ton of wildlife. It's been really important to me to grow a lot of native plants and things that are beneficial to the ecosystem so we can live comfortably alongside all the bugs, birds, lizards, etc. We've done a lot of improving the soil and planting so far but we've still only made a moderate amount of progress. Digging holes gets real tiring, real fast! Side note, but there's also something in our yard that's been giving me itchy rashes (like poison ivy) and I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS so uhh, we might have to do some experimenting later on to figure that out. Turns out the list of plants that could potentially cause "irritation" is incredibly long, and our yard is big and there is a ton of stuff out there. Can't wait to show you guys how it's going!
Yay, happy to see another video from you guys! Great to hear that you're enjoying the house, as are the cats :) And hopefully your planting video can give some closure on what's causing the rashes if someone in the comments knows...sorry that's happening to you.
BAMF Award goes to the sweet man who let you guys adopt two more plants for your garden 🥰
So glad you guys are back and enjoying ur new house!! Hope all the cats are okayy 💞💞
In so glad you're back keep up the amazing videos
It could be the yes. My husband was allergic to connifers.. that was he'll at Christmas and mowing the lawn. Also caused the itchy eye-congestion around April when they "bloomed". Shower immediately after gardening and wear gloves when handling.
That should have read Yews
listening Rachel speaking japanese while Jun replies in english is really cute for some reason haha, the classic switcharoo
I'm friends with many interacial couples here in Korea and let me tell you. That? Super common. Lol
a friend I speak with every day, we converse a lot in two different languages. He'll speak french while ill respond in English. And it happens vice versa too.
Part of it is habit. My partner is Croatian, and when I speak Croatian to him, he usually replies in English because that's how he's used to talking to me. It just comes naturally to him.
I do this with my family too xD I speak to them in cantonese and they reply in english. I feel like its a respect thing like, I'll speak your language so its easier for you, and they do the same, when in fact it actually is sometimes harder to understand because we aren't speaking our native languages to each other aha
I was just gonna say! Their language use is fascinating!
6:41 As a native Fukuoka dialect speaker like me, he sounds "さむか中、来てくれたけんね": "(I'm giving extras) because you guys came even though the cold weather."
Thank you for a lovely vlog! Enjoy Fukuoka!
ありがとうございます！文字で書いてもらうと、その通りですね。ご視聴、ありがとうございます🙂
I thought they moved from there?
@@alliedarky they moved from bustling tokyo to chill fukuoka
@@bobcee8126 yeah they basically switched neighborhoods I think... they've been in Fukuoka this whole time
Not even 50 seconds in and Jun is already chasing a pigeon 😂
When you see a pigeon, you have to chase it. It's a law.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 yes but fast walk chase it, not straight up running. Kinda annoys me when kids run towards pigeons
This is so interesting and such a stark contrast to the mass-‘produced’ plants at garden centres that don’t get a lot of love… watching this you really get the feeling of pride ans care the growers put into the plants and trees they offer.
A lot of these trees have been really beautifully grown. And not only shaped well, but they're often hardier and higher quality sources. The vendors have all been incredibly kind, too. They all gave us discounts, sometimes extra plants, and offered care advice on other trees we have growing in our yard. There are apparently some specific techniques you should use when planting trees that we never would have known about otherwise!
(For anyone curious--you water down the hole as you're filling it in around the root ball and shake the tree a bunch to make sure there aren't any air gaps. And you build up a little dirt wall around the tree so that when you water it the water remains directly over the root ball and trickles down instead of spreading out. Very helpful info!)
@@RachelandJunAdventures we saw you planting things in other videos and i wondered if you just didn't know that and had never planted anything before or if that was something unique to Japan and planting that didn't need all of that to make it grow. its good to know it was just you didn't know bcz i wondered how things were growing without you watering them and pulling apart the root ball so it had a better chance to get to the water.
Omg yes, my mum buys so many plants to rescue them from stores where they're underwatered or don't get enough sunlight or are in tiny pots
The plants what are you choosing is really nice
@@RachelandJunAdventures Heh. To make sure my new trees had enough water, I mounted a 200 litre water tank with a 12v sprayer pump on an ATV and twice a day watered the whole 100 trees. I suspect it’s a little easier around a home. :)
0:36 “Jun stop harassing the pidgeons”. His sorry is so wholesome
jun's knowledge of trees is just as amazing as rachel's knowledge of bugs. glad your back. 😁
I don't know when Jun does all his plant research but it's great. He's turning into both a cooking and gardening encyclopedia!
Also Jun grew up helping his grandpa with plants so that probably helps
Also princess jellyfish~👸✨
Trees and bugs. Now we just need someone who can identify birds.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 the cats, they do this part but we are not able to understand them when they talk about it 😂
@@RachelandJunAdventures I love your videos
No one is talking about how Jun asked Rachel to stand by the tree 🥺 he wanted a shot with his pretty girl with the pretty tree and ugh I love love 😫❤️
I thought that that was super sweet too!!!
Haven't seen the video yet, but I was about to have an emotional breakdown when this notification came and I already feel calm. Thank you Rachel and Jun for being such a positive presence on TH-cam. I love your family so much
Hang in there, friend
Haha I started searching for their channel thinking I'd missed notifications. My curiosity was getting the better of me. Love these two and their cat clan.
Thank you so much! It means a lot!!😭
That's so true. The vibe of their video is unlike any other and immediately calms me, too
i misread the title of this video as "bullying fully grown trees in Japan" and was kinda surprised about the animosity towards greenery considering you both love gardening. was gonna watch anyways though
So happy to see yall again! And I'm glad Rachel is speaking Japanese more. I don't know why, but it seems like you've been mostly speaking English in your videos lately. I like when you go back and forth in this freeform way. :)
I have to second your comments about Rachel speaking Japanese more! I hope she continues doing that in future videos!
I think Jun was saying he wanted to work on his English a bit more in a previous video? I mean, they do live in Japan, so I imagine Rachel has plenty of opportunities to practise her Japanese with people other than Jun, but Idk I just vaguely remember Jun mentioning something about his English in a video.
Rachels hair looks so good in this video! So bright and fluffy, like a human fox that decided to come to the shrine too. Absolutely gorgeous, I love the colour!
Does that kind old man manage that entire place? That's quite some dedication, and he clearly loves plants and his job
No he was only one of the vendors!
@@RachelandJunAdventures Must be a nice work environment
My grandfather actually used to have a commercial garden of decorative plants! He managed the whole thing himself and sold them. As he got older and got Parkinson he had to stop but it's possible!
@@theteddy906 You must be proud of his craft, being able to grow plants beautiful enough to be bought as decoration, all by himself!
@@patrickchang9135 I was and am, he passed around 4 years ago and we believe it was due to the progression of his disease. I intend to learn a little about gardening in his honor.
It’s nice to see that you guys are buying native plants, especially considering how many invasive plant species are causing trouble for native wildlife.
We look up everything we want before we buy it. There are a few non-native plants we've chosen to get, but definitely nothing invasive! I adore how much wildlife we have in our yard and I want to make sure they continue to have a healthy habitat. My goal is to have as much (native) plant and wildlife diversity as we can get.
I've missed y'all omg 🥰🥰🥰 hope you're and the cats are doing well!
Ooo I love strawberry begonias, they're pretty rare where I live but I managed to snag one on ebay after looking for ages.
It got crushed in the post and I've finally brought it back to life, they're such cool plants!
I"ve been eyeing some variegated strawberry begonias at my local plant store, they're so cute!
I grew up with a huge tree in the front yard of my childhood home, when we moved out i couldnt even wrap my arms around it. When I watched some home videos I saw how small and thin the tree was when my family moved in (before I was born) and looking at these trees I cant help but imagine how they'll grow with the families that will buy them and the memories that will go with them.
Rachel, I appreciate that you use Japanese I can actually understand. It makes me feel like I've actually made some progress
I personally mainly understand most of the stuff I can recognize by ear from watching a lot of anime, radios, vlogs and other subtitled japanese content. Watching this though really reminds me I should really start learning seriously...
Living vicariously through Rachel and Jun’s tree shopping! I love shopping for plants. Those trees look beautiful.
I though Ohio had a bunch of strange plant festivals (zucchini fest, pumpkin fest, sweetcorn fest, etc.) but a tree festival is what I wanna go to now
We just had a massive windstorm, so my entire family has been looking for replacement trees all weekend! I swear you two are a special type of magic 😂
If you're in an area that has these storms more often it might be better to buy young trees, so they can develop a strong, holding tap root in your garden. Bigger trees have their tap root cut off when the nursery dug them out of their grounds, and it would be shame to get a big tree only to have it fall down after the next 3 hurricanes.
And yes, Rachel ad Jun are absoultely magic.
Welcome back Jun & Rachel! We missed you guys so much, hope you're doing well. Thank you for tagging us along on another soothing journey. Can't wait to see what you do next.
This video made me realize that in my country, Chile, we have a lot of native Japanese and other Asian trees and plants! At least in my region.
They're so beautiful!
I've always been a sucker for landscape design that includes native plants, probably because my mom was a landscape designer and introduced a lot of native plants in her designs. I hope your yard looks awesome with all the plants you've gotten!
Rachel: Jun, which of these trees do you want?
Jun: Yes.
Yo I’m a 15 year old boy and have been watching y’all two for like 4 years now and just wanted to say that y’all are the best👍🏽
i love how everyones so freakin jazzed about trees. now i wanna go to a tree festival dude
The concept of a shrine holding a tree/plant sale to help encourage people planting trees and taking care of nature is so wholesome! All those plants were gorgeous and you could tell the vendors were very proud of their work, which they should be.
I felt so much magic coming from those trees! That old man at the end has such a sweet personality, super kind!
Aww...you already call your house, your home. It is filled with love.
And now you can really go out and plant to your hearts content!! Your land!
So happy for you.
I'm DYING for your content Rachel and Jun. You have kept Haku, Poki, Nagi, Pichi, who knows,... from me for TOO long. I had to rely on outdated contents to warm my broken heart. Med school is hard and I do need fluffy babies support. Thank you so much for posting! Love U!
We'll work on a cat video next, then!
I'm having a hard time with med school too, luckily i'm probably graduating in a month or so but it has been a long and stressful journey... a big hug to you, future colleague, I hope better times are waiting for the both of us :)
@@RachelandJunAdventures an updated A Day in Cat Life video, pretty please? 😘
Rachel standing next to Sakura tree maybe the best thing I've ever seen ❤️
Missed y’all hope you and your cats are healthy❤️❤️
I love getting updates on yalls house and garden, it's just so...nice to know you're out there living life with a pretty house and 4 kitties
Ikr? Seeing them just existing and living their life in their dream house, with their cats and building a garden that they want for themselves , just gives me hope for the future. Like... I see them doing this and I know that someday this can be me, with my own house and cats and garden and significant other. It really gives me a mood boost and fills me up with hope
Those crows cawing in the background made my day XD
I don't understand Japanese, so I'm incredibly grateful for the subtitles, but I really love hearing it spoken in your videos!
Oh, and the trees & plants are absolutely gorgeous!
Respect for- and the appreciation of nature is one of the many things I admire about Japanese culture! I think it's meaningful to give trees, rocks and rivers a kind of sentience(?) or a spirit. They are important to us, and our job on this planet is to care for them! I love how the world is turning more towards stewardship of this planet, than it ever has before! We're growing as a species.
I love how you guys converse in half english half japanese
who else laughed at the dramatic-music-pigeon part?? I love Rachel's editing so much
I literally just yelled when I realized I missed a new video out by DAYS. My husband had to listen to me ranting about suing TH-cam for emotional distress for not notifying me. 😂 So happy to have you back!
Omg I was totally getting Rachel and Jun withdrawals! So having a new video with you two AND plants is so relaxing to watch. Can’t wait to see how the house/yard is coming along
Whoever put the chase music over the pigeon clip, fantastic idea. I loved it.
I missed you guys!!✨🌸
For some reason watching this reminds me of the windstorm we had once that blew over our weeping willow. But what was really cool was that eventually a new tree started growing in its place~
I swelled a little with joy when it said that Jun couldn't understand the store keeper's dialect - I'm studying Japanese and get disheartened when I can't understand what I hear in videos so that gave my confidence a little boost lol "don't be hard on yourself, even Japanese natives sometimes don't understand" hehe ^-^"
Jun is so handsome! & Rachel looking adorable as usual. I’m so happy you’re posting again guys!
SO COOL!!!! As an orchard farmer I would never buy simply decorative trees, but a whole tree festival, where they're all on sale...? How hard to say no. What a cool little event!!
That tree festival looks like some sort of fantasy world. I've never seen such pretty trees.
The danger music while chasing the pigeon tho 😂😂
Oh wow! These prices are incredible!!!
I’ve been having a not so great Monday, due to car troubles. Watching this video with all the beautiful trees and seeing/hearing your excitement has brightened my day, so thank you!
I love seeing Jun get so excited over plants 😄
Oohh! The long awaited garden update is here! Trees! Spring!
I've already started my seeds here in central Europe.
It's great to hear from you guys, happy gardening! 💗
How sweet of him to give you two extra plants! What a lovely festival. Good luck with planting!!
Brightly coloured like Rachel's beautiful hair - no editing needed :)
I love seeing two hard-working and genuinely kind people living their best life (particularly when it involves cats)...It gives hope to the rest of us!
I've never heard Jun sound so happy & animated haha
Those little plants you got,they will spread and drape over the ground. Mum calls it Roving Sailor because its always traveling.
Can't wait to see the big trees being planted in your new home ☺
That was so cute when Jun said “I like the way you look” 🥺🥺
I find the idea of Tree festival so beautiful. Cant wait to see your progress and how cats are ruling the house.
I had no idea Japan had so many beautiful trees! Besides the famous Sakura of course
I bought a japanese maple for my garden, a miniature gingko and am looking forward to buy mooore plants, there are many plants in Europe from Japan I love. Its beautiful seeing the ume blossom
Yay! so glad you're both posting again. Looking forward to the new house and garden. Hope the kitties are settling in well too. One thing I noticed was how loud the crows are at parts of the video haha!
I've been thinking about you guys a bunch during your hiatus - I really appreciate that last video saying you'd be taking some down time, cuz you deserve it! I'm happy you took time off, and I'm also happy you've posted today! Your stuff always helps me chill, thank you. :)
Hey Rachel! Its your old friend Lisa! Happy to see ya'll so successful. Would like to hear from you personally to catch up. 💚💚💚💚💚
Pro tip on crab apples, we have them here in the US (I'm sure Rachel has seen them everywhere) and they are actually an invasive species now. The birds eat their fruit and poop them EVERYWHERE. They grow quickly but aren't very structurally sound and tend to have branches break off or they fall over in strong winds/snow/ice/storms, etc.
The rest of the trees are AWESOME! We actually have a weeping cherry and several Japanese maples here and they're so lovely, I love to see them every year! 😍
Excited to see things shape up at your house!
This is a great comeback. I love trees so I feel like I'll come back to this many times to fully appreciate them.
5:02 Jun is right about the absolutely gorgeous comment. And the tree is really pretty too.
😭I want a tree festival here in the Midwest USA. I would faint from happiness to see all these trees and be able to purchase such beautiful and healthy specimens
Cool to hear Rachel use more Japanese!
So glad that you guys are back. Can’t wait to see more of your new house and garden and cats!!!
I'm looking forward to a vlog when you are ready to show off your new house and the awesome garden. Also much love to the cats!
It's so nice to see rachel and jun again! In the few months you were gone the world decided to turn around for the worst and its SO nice to see something not so devastating again.
I’ve been watching you since middle school and I’m currently 20 and I still love and enjoy your videos !! 💕💕keep it up
Happy to see you again! Loved hearing Rachel speak Japanese.
It seems Jun has become much more outgoing at your videos have progressed. I remember earlier posts in which he barely spoke. It's nice to see both of you out having fun. On a side note, the trees are beautiful. I love that ash.
Ahhhh it's so great to see your faces again! I hope your hibernation was restful and I'm really looking forward to seeing your yard transformation!!
I'm so glad to see you both! I wish you both always happy!
i looooove these "come with us while we go shopping" type videos, very fun and relaxing to watch. so happy you guys are back!
I’m so glad the guy helping you discussed buying pollinator attracting plants. I grow vegetables in an urban setting and attracting pollinators is crucial to getting with flowers anything going. Especially our Apple tree.
I LOVE that y'all got some native trees! Not that ornamental plants are beautiful, but your Japanese plants are just incredible!
this festival sounds like a DREAM this was so fun!! excited to see them planted!!
Ahh we misses you so much! So glad you came back :)♥️
AAAH IVE BEEN WATCHING YOU SO MUCH WHEN YOU'VE BEEN GONE!! MISSED U GUYS!!!
Reminds me of the plant “fairs” we get in the summer. The plants are much better suited for the climate the the garden center ones
This has become my comfort yt channel. I just get so excited when I see a new video!
Thanks for sharing this. Can't wait to see the cats in the new house. Doesn't need to be a fancy video. Just cats sitting around is fine. :)
I MISSED YOU GUYS
I'm going to college for plants (horticulture) and this kind of video makes me so happy! I love seeing people's pride and love for plants. Wish we had a tree festival over where I live!
I sometimes forget how bright Rachel's hair is. So beautiful. As a mousy brunette with a red haired brother, so much hair envy 😆. Its enjoyable to see how much Jun is into trees. Makes me happy he is so happy.
The sakura are starting to bloom here. Peak bloom and the sakura festival is the weekend of April 8th.
As a fellow plant lover this looked so fun! Japan has so many beautiful native trees, especially flowering trees. I recently saw weeping Japanese plum trees for the first time and absolutely loved them!
It was nice to hear you two speaking Japanese to each other in a video for a change. I’m a bit of language nerd so I love hearing other languages even if I can’t understand them. 😅
we grow strawberry begonias as house plants here in Canada :).
I work in a garden center here, I find it interesting that, at the beginning of the season, they can have cheap trees like this. Normally here, trees go on sale in late summer or early fall. If anything, trees would be more expensive in Spring here since the demand is high and you still have the whole season ahead of you to sell them. We want to get rid of trees and plants in the Fall so they can shut down the garden centers without having to take care of the trees all Winter. You can still plant trees in the Fall. Actually, some people find it preferable, since we have so much drought now in summer, it's better for the trees to get established over Fall, Winter, and Spring, before going into a hot and dry Summer (even when you water). Wow, free tree delivery! No, we charge 100$ (100$ whether it's one tree, or a truck and trailer full of plants and trees). The insurance on having two workers out driving and lifting trees often over 100lbs is insane. Plus the price of gas is insane now. But, then again, most people here have large SUVs and trucks and friends and family come and help them, so it's not a problem. We deliver maybe one tree a week, sometimes less, so delivery not a popular option.
So excited for your garden. My favourite tree in the whole world is the Japanese maple. Good choice, Jun 🍁💕
I have bought my parents a Star Magnolia and a traditional Magnolia for their home in Ontario, Canada. They are gorgeous and bring my mom so much pleasure in the spring when they bloom. It is the one gift I am thanked for every year afterwards and knowing it makes them smile makes it a pleasure for me also.
Is there anything cooler than both of them switching in between English and Japanese constantly when speaking? I love that haha
i'm here for the gardening content! it's so fun to see what plants you can find over in Japan. I'm really interested to see how a japanese garden would be tended to compared to europe/america. i imagine everything grows a lot faster with all the rain. am definitely looking forward to more garden videos :)
0:30 "Hi. I like the way you look"
Oh I missed your videos so much!! Even though I couldn’t wait to watch I patiently sat through all the ads haha 🥰 My favourite TH-cam channel to watch when I’m stressed, studying for exams and need a break!
