Discover our new plantings, successes, and the challenges we've faced, including the loss of a Japanese white pine and a camellia. Our garden, featuring stunning Japanese maples and conifers, is a serene oasis that we're excited to share with you. Stay tuned for Part 2!

I just love your woodland garden. All the amazing conifers & Japanese maples collection makes it look very natural. Yes this summer has been unusually hot. Even here in zone 7 I haven’t been out too much due to the 90 heat waves. I would love to see what the Sango Kaku looks like in the wintertime. Thank you for this updated tour. 😅❤

[@buildingmodern]

Thank you! Sure thing, we’ll be sure to show the Sango kaku’s & bihou in the next winter tours. It doesn’t get too cold where we are, so the red (or yellow for the bihou) isn’t as dramatic as colder environments. Still, happy to share. Thanks for watching! 🙂

I really enjoy these tours! Especially your explanation of plant placement, how each plant is doing and how that relates to the amount of water and sun, and how you’re moving some plants that are getting crowded. One question about the air layer of the Purple Ghost: the limb that I believe you were talking about looked like it’s from very low on the plant. Is it possible that is from below the graft and so would not produce a new Purple Ghost, but whatever the root stock is?

[@buildingmodern]

Thanks so much!! The limb from the purple ghost is definitely from the purple ghost, but good thought! If it was from the root stock, we'd definitely just prune it off. This particular branch will definitely make a great tree! 😀
Thanks for watching!! We'll have part two live next Saturday for the rest of the garden! 😎

Awesome garden. How big is your property? That will help others gauge how many trees they can fit into their landscape.

[@buildingmodern]

Thanks! Our garden is a pie-shaped 3/4 acre lot. 🙂

Hey guys how much sun is that purple ghost getting ????

[@buildingmodern]

It gets roughly 10-12 hours of direct, unfiltered, full sun per day. 😁 (including during the hottest time of the day)
We really didn't know purple ghost was so sun tolerant until we put it in a spot with this much sun. It's crazy! Other japanese maples (like the Jordan) burned to a crisp in this much sun. Meanwhile, the purple ghost is as happy as a clam. 🙂

@@buildingmodern awesomeness that makes me happy to know just got a 10 gal purple ghost this year waiting on a pastels

[@bobbiechinn9578]
