The very top of Mount Macedon must have a very similar climate to ours here on southern Vancouver Island! We have most of the plants in our garden mentioned in this beautifully structured and gently maintained garden. If Kevin and Chris don’t already have a Parrotia Perscia or two tucked away some where it would be a great addition to their garden.
"very similar climate to ours here on southern Vancouver Island! " It's still quite a bit milder. Top of Mt. Macedon is probably USDA zone 9b, and the all-time record low is -8.3C/17F. (That's quite cold by Australian standards, of course.) Victoria, BC's all time record low is -15.5 C/3F.
With summer setting in here in the southern US I will be spending much more time in the house instead of the garden watching your videos and dreaming of Fall 🙂Keep up the good work!
@@thehorti-culturalists It is, but I'm too old and fat to do much gardening when it's as hot as the face of the sun and 100% humidity. So I dream of climates such as the mild parts of Australia, NZ and UK 🙂
Another great cid guys. Looking for advice on trees for wet areas. Part of backyard get very wet when we get a decent amount of rain. Clay soil. Moss Vale, Southern Highlands NSW.
I liked a lot this video. Wrote down some of the names. I had difficulty last night finding Neillia Tanakae. Things that were coming up did not look the same like your picture. Will search by the old name. I have a question for you in regards to azalea bushes. I have a pair of old ones( 20 years older or so) , and not sure how deep I should trim them. now that the flowers are almost spent. How deep can I go down to trim them?
Hello ragazzi, found a trumpet vine volunteer amongst my dahlias and want to keep it for hummingbirds. It was tiny. I put it in a big pot by a fence and it’s extremely vigorous and about six feet tall with many canes. Will I be able to control it? I’m on Long Island, zone 7.
Yes please! An episode on herbaceous perennials with autumn colour!!!
next year a promise! Regards Stephen
What a spectacular garden, thanks for the show guys
Thanks for watching!
Great choice of autumn colored shrubs. I love the cones on the Larix as well as the autumn colour. The lindera Obtusiloba looks stunning. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Regards Stephen
Fothergilla my fav autumn shrub, colour brilliantly in my Rotorua NZ garden
It's good isn’t it. Regards Stephen

They do have Parrotia but it wasn’t at its best. Regards Stephen
Beautiful garden. Can you take cuttings off the climbing hydrangea?

Happy gardening 🌸🐝
Our pleasure! Regards Stephen
That is an absolutely beautiful garden. I love the fall colors, we are now just coming into spring and starting our gardens here in Canada.
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful! Pity the Lindera is so tricky to grow.
It really is! Regards Stephen
Absolutely stunning! ❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful! The foliage of the Lindera obtusiloba reminds me of sassafras.
They are related. Regards Stephen

That seems just a tad counterproductive! Regards Stephen

I love the autumn colors. Here in Oregon, we have the Tamarack (Larix laricina).it puts on an amazing show of it's orange and yellow needle.
Sounds great!
I purchased a lindera off you Stephen and now I’m nervous, oh well it’s very little and I give it a go
If it didn’t cost more than dinner out then it’s worth a crack, I alway say.Regards Stephen
Lovely garden! A good fall color shrub in zone eight here in NW Florida is Viburnum luzonicum.
This is rarely grown in Australia but I must look out for it. Regards Stephen
What a lovely display. Is everyone watching from Western Canada? 😊
You could re release this in September 😂
Unfortunately CZcams frowns on repeats so the best I can offer is that you watch it again then! Regards Stephen
Another great cid guys. Looking for advice on trees for wet areas. Part of backyard get very wet when we get a decent amount of rain. Clay soil. Moss Vale, Southern Highlands NSW.
you could try Nyssa, Taxodium, Alnus for starters. Regards Stephen
They grow well in northwest Florida
Fothergilla does in NW Florida .I meant.
Always good to get feed back about how plants perform in different areas. Regards Stephen

you can cut them very hard if you want to but unless they are to big or out of shape they can be left alone. Regards Stephen

It is a matter of regular management with all things, so why not. Regards Stephen
