Hey guys, if you're enjoying this video, feel free to leave a comment! Bryce and I always love hearing from you. Got any questions or suggestions for future videos? Don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks a bunch for watching!
I love shade trees, and palms do not cut it. But it would be nice to know small trees or larger that do not have invasive roots. The landscaping that comes down along the driveway is amazing.
Great video. Any way you could do a bromeliad video, including care tips. I have a ton of them but was wondering about best way to deal with rot in center of mother plant after she blooms. I water mine with misters and rinse them out every 1-2 weeks. Thanks so much!! Love your videos
I enjoy watching your videos. I am in Tampa. Would you able to design a garden for me? I also have a question on the gravel stone pathway, How do you keep the weeds under control especially the atrelliary ferns. Thank you. keep the videos coming.
Your tropical landscapes are beautiful. How do you manage the roots of the asparagus fern? My one-time experience with them was a surprise because the strong roots spread aggressively and after 6 years were a challenge to work around.
The foxtail is a different variety than the Asparagus they also have a good root system but nowhere near the spreader of the asparagus fern. I do not have much experience with that fern because of that. Sorry :(
Wonderful! Do phoenix palms (Pygmy, Silvester, Canary, etc.) need any special type of maintenance for pests or diseases, such as routine trunk injections?
Great questions. Depending on the health of the tree, no. However, if they are weak from a storm or lack nutrients, then yes, I would use a dominion drench on them.
I have a bathroom window that I’d like to add a 4x2x2 raised garden planter under for privacy. I thought a double Pygmy date palm tree would be nice. I am worried that may get too big up against the house. I need something tier 2 height to block the window. The edge of the bed would sit about 2’ away from the house. It gets about 3 hours of sunlight with a bay tree on the other side blocking evening sun. Do you have any suggestions?
A pygmy grows from 10-12ft tall and in a shady area can become pretty wide. Would something like a Brazilian red cloaks work, they can be maintained at whatever height and depth. They also do well in the sun requirement you mentioned.
Unfortunately, Becky, I do not offer design services without handling the installation at this time. I have an excellent in-house landscape team, and I'm always playing catch-up with them. There just isn't enough time in my daily schedule to work on designs outside of my work schedule. Sorry.
@@TrueGardener I see that Alexander palms grow slowly, too, so that’s a great combination. Would there be enough light in that island section to have cordelines or calusia?
Is is true that using rocks in planting beds, instead of mulch, increases the temperature and can stress plants more? I get tired of yearly topping off mulch beds that get weathered and washed away.
Yes, they would need a second water source or, more often, watering to help combat the heat. Maybe at a strip of stone on the edge of the bed with a type of edging to give you that good clean look and allow your plants to grow right up to the edging strip and not worry about remulching at all. Ill see if I can find an example of that and send it in a comment later.
This landacape project was awesome. Great design and well thought out. The Sylvester Palms you planted are young, but for more mature ones, are you in favor of staining the trunk as some people.do, or just keeping a clean but natural diamond cut look? I worry the stain, especially the oranger color tint some opt for, looks artificial. Thanks.
I think it's up to the client. I've done both in the past, but I always warn my clients if the stain will fade, and sometimes it peels a bit. In my home, I opted to clean the trunks with a little water pressure after the diamond cut and not staining.
I'm a big fan of Sylvester palms, I have 2 in my front yard . I would enjoy a video about palm care for those that are not self-cleaning. Like what time of year is best to prune, how often, and when. There's lots of conflicting info on YT about this, but I think it might have more to do with the location and grow zone than bad info.
Well, it really depends on the client's wants and Budget for the space. Living in Florida, things grow so fast, and waiting and watching game can be part of the fun. Second, the COST on plants in the nurseries is at an all-time high, and unfortunately, it cuts into the budget heavily when even common plants are increased in size.
I always get excited when I see you put up a new video then I click on it and remember your audio is horrible. I always have to do the close captioning. You really need to ask around to find good audio equipment. Yours is by far the worst of any you tuber I watch. But the yard was beautiful. I like those Sylvester palms!

These Sylvester palms omg ❤
Thank you, Jennifer. Your work is the best. We love our new landscape.

Beautiful garden❤❤❤❤
Where do you get such huge plants? Love them for that not-brand-new garden look!

Thanks so much!! Love your videos
Yes. Great suggestion! I will add it to the list of upcoming videos.

Hello Fellow Gardener! The best of luck in your garden this year!
Great job! Thanks for sharing I like the foxtail fern too I also like asparagus fern as well.
I enjoy watching your videos. I am in Tampa. Would you able to design a garden for me? I also have a question on the gravel stone pathway, How do you keep the weeds under control especially the atrelliary ferns. Thank you. keep the videos coming.
I had the same question, we need Jennifer in Tampa!
Thank you.
Thank you!!
Great job!
Thank you!
Very nice
Thank you so much!
Do you recommend any landscapers in Crystal River, Florida that you could recommend that does similar work as you all do on the east coast of florida?
Like to see a before picture of this

I know it’s too far to bring your crews to Polk County, but would you ever consider doing design layout here?

@@TrueGardener well, dang! Any way we can clone you? Lol
Any idea on where to get Dwarf Ixora’s in the Tampa area? I went to several nurseries, HD and Lowe’s today and no one has the dwarf versions. 😭
They normally come to the big box stores in the summer
Try plant ant.com. It’ll let you know what’s the nearest nursery that carries them. Good luck gardener.
@@binualex3300 ahh good to know. Thank you!!
Love this! How long does it take a Pygmy Date palm to grow to full height?
Great question it grows approximately a foot per year if it’s in sandy soil and watered regularly then it can grow up to 2ft per year.
@@TrueGardener I see that Alexander palms grow slowly, too, so that’s a great combination. Would there be enough light in that island section to have cordelines or calusia?
As usual, beautiful!
There was a movie entitled Firenado released in January of 2023!!

Great idea, I've seen that done many times, but thought it was just a design and didn't have a function. I like that. I'll be trying that.

Was this home in Vero Beach?
Yes, it was!
Why do landscapers use tiny plants instead of full grown from the start?
Well, it really depends on the client's wants and Budget for the space. Living in Florida, things grow so fast, and waiting and watching game can be part of the fun. Second, the COST on plants in the nurseries is at an all-time high, and unfortunately, it cuts into the budget heavily when even common plants are increased in size.
What's the name of the yellow plants under the Pygmy palm?
Those are called Golden Dew or Gold Mound

Wellllll, Hello, Fellow Gardener. Best of luck with your garden this year!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into that; I know that can be frustrating.
