I love your videos! You should make a video on the native Symphoricarpos species. They are pretty cool shrubs. I’m currently contemplating on planting S. occidentalis or S. orbiculatus, both of which are quite common and abundant in my area. Perhaps I should plant both!
Thank you for sharing! I unfortunately picked an Annabelle cultivar earlier this year when I started working on adding native plants. I plan on adding a wild type or two and making a cluster of hydrangeas to provide for pollinators next year!!
Based on your recommendation I recently planted 2 Dwarf Chinkapin Oak trees in my southern NJ front yard. I ordered them from Nebraska (Great Plains Nursery) and I couldn't believe how healthy they looked after their long trip! They are the cutest things ever and I can't wait til they start producing acorns!! Hope they thrive. Thanks!!
I don't want to be "that guy.". So, I have to apologize, in advance. But, unless I was mistaken, he was speaking of the Chestnut variety, not the Oak. They are much more rare. And, they're the ones that need the most help to balance a given ecosystem. Oaks are good, too. I just don't think that was what he was speaking of. Maybe I missed a video? If you do find a place that sells the Chestnut variety, please do inform us all. I would hop on that. Thanks, JJ
I was hoping to learn about Hydrangea barbara, its been hard to find. Ive been considering it as a component of replacement plants for english ivy in a shady spot under big ole trees along a fence and low wall.
Climbing hydrangea is a beautiful native vine and would make a great replacement for English ivy. It does like moisture so keep that in mind. I didn't put it on the video as I was trying to stick with the shrubs and climbing hydrangea keeps getting moved between the genus Hydrangea and Decumaria.
I'm picking up my hydrangea arborescens today from the wild ones native plant sale. The shrubs and trees are usually delivered in the spring, but this year, they decided on the autumn..... and it's supposed to freeze at night here in central IL in a couple of days. ARGH!! I've been searching for this hydrangea for years; no one ever seems to sell the straight species. I want my hydrangea to be the centerpiece of my front yard. What can I do to help it thrive when it's being planted so late in the year? Thank you!
Fall is actually the best time to plant container grown trees, shrubs and perennial plants. the roots continue to grow slowly even when the top is dormant. They will grow until the ground temps get into the 40s. This allows the plants to get established and do better once spring gets here. Check out this video for an in depth look at fall planting: th-cam.com/video/v_TY_SDrv4w/w-d-xo.html
I tried to add a Haas Halo this year and it didn’t survive. It’s being replaced so I can give it another chance. Everyone says they attract insane numbers of pollinators.
Awww does that mean I'll have more tomato/tobacco hornworms to deal with if I plant these? Will also plant to encourage those parasitic little dudes that lay eggs in them I guess.

Another great video, thanks 🙏
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Thanks great video

Can't go wrong with either of those! I actually have an idea for a video on this very subject!
Wonderful information!! Your videos are always helpful in learning more about these native plants.
Thanks!

Sounds like a good plan!

Awesome! Hopefully the continue to do well for you!

@@JJLom777It was an older video
@@JJLom777 They were referring to the video I did on dwarf chinkapin oak.
@@deborahbianco2209My apologies.
Thanks for the info, I'll stick with the lace cultivars if I buy hydrangea.
There are native smooth hydrangeas that are lace cap. Double cool!
I really like the oak leaf hydrangea, but it's sadly not native to my area (NY)

So do mopheads offer nothing to pollinators?
Whoops, sorry, you just answered my question.
Not much except for being a host plant.
@@BackyardEcology How are they a host plant?
@@elainelight9286 Caterpillars still eat the leaves even if the flowers are not providing pollen or nectar to other pollinators.
@@BackyardEcology Oh, so moths and butterflies are laying eggs on the hydrangeas? Cool!
I tried to add a Haas Halo this year and it didn’t survive. It’s being replaced so I can give it another chance. Everyone says they attract insane numbers of pollinators.
They are a good one! Several pics in the video are of Haas Halo. Hopefully this one will do better for you!
Awww does that mean I'll have more tomato/tobacco hornworms to deal with if I plant these?
Will also plant to encourage those parasitic little dudes that lay eggs in them I guess.
That is a different species of hornworm. There are dozens of different hornworm species.
@@BackyardEcology Excellent! I just assumed it would be for the whole group of them.
