You, Sir, have a very beautiful garden. Being a gardener myself, I know the many hours and dollars you have spent out there to get the gorgeous result you and your wife have managed to create.
Your idea to make Rosa Sharon into trees like a lollipop tree is awesome and I think it would be very good for a small garden because you could layer plantings. I love the cleome and I think the way you have the 68 foot trees. You could put the Komi under them. Thank you very much. I enjoyed your garden.
What a gorgeous garden!!!You answered the exact question I had about tree form rose of Sharon!!! I'm retired and decided since I have always had excellent results propagating plants, I could make a little on the side by starting a small backyard nursery. From a couple of bushes that were in bloom on an overgrown vacant lot, I took about 4 very long branches and after preparing them to pot, I wound up with over 150 cuttings!! A week later, I happened to see a beautiful pink Rose of Sharon tree that had a trunk probably 10" in diameter. Yours is the only source on "limbing up" the bushes into trees that I've found! Thank you so much!!!!
I needed this, thank you! Just ordered a couple of roses of sharon and was worried the locations I have for them are too small. But now I know what to do to turn them into small trees! Your garden is an inspiration, sir!
Beautiful garden and I thank you for all the different Rose of Sharon shapes. I'm going to trim my mother's 30 yr. old Rose of Sharon and this video has helped tremendously. Thanks
I pruned one of mine to 3 main, then braided them when young. Its thriving. Im a hairstylist 😂 so even braid my plants, and live giving everything regular ' haircuts' 😂
If got one braided myself. If you’ll scar each side where they touch you’ll end up with one plant. I’ve seen this happen in nature where a white oak fused together with an eastern hemlock and it became a large hemlock tree. 53 years as a forester I’ve seen many strange things in nature
First of all your garden and yard work beautiful I have Rose of Sharon I have been blessed with a lot of them. I like them growing wild looking running is good to their beautiful thank you I'm not bragging about having a lot of rose of sharon's I just been blessed with them God has blessed me with Again thank you so much for your video and thank you so much for the images of your yard is gorgeous
Came across your video while I was getting our Rose of Sharon ready for spring and I just want to say...what a beautiful garden! Well done, sir! I aspire to have one like yours one day.
This was a great video, thank you! I have been trying to slowly prune a crepe myrtle bush into a tree and suspect your techniques on the Rose of Sharon might apply to my tree. (I also have had trouble finding this type of information on pruning from bush to tree in the past so I really appreciate the video.) Our neighbor has some Rose of Sharon and they truly bloom a very long time. Beautiful flowers and beautiful garden!
Thank you! I let mine grow as a hedge between my neighbors yard and mine. She has given me numerous volunteers and now I want to grow some as topiary. You've been very helpful! I love your gardens! You and your wife have done a beautiful job.
Thanks for posting this! I am interested in pruning a few of my rose of Sharon’s into tree form, and this is the best info I have found. Loved your garden, too!
Thank you for this video. I’ve 😉been searching on how to turn my “Althea” or Rose of Sharon from a crazy bush into a tree, like Grandma had in her yard. Yours is the only one I’ve found. Very helpful.
I always come back to this video. It is an absolutely beautiful garden. I want to train my rose of Sharon to be a small tree for my small garden. I’ll be coming back!
Enjoyed your video, every spring I pinch off the suckers at the bottom of the plant, I go higher than what you go , mine has a single stem for about a foot and a half then it branches out, which I think it gives more of an interesting look, Glad I found your video, as you said there's no videos on CZcams that tells you how to make one into a tree! You are appreciated 👍
Let me tell you. The experience you show is unbelievable. You walk the talk. I never had a grand father your family most love you so much. I learn lots. Be paciente, work with what you have. God bless you and your wife rhe pruning patner for life.
What an amazing garden. I just bought a purple and rose color Rose of Sharon. I love the way you shaped the bush to be tree form. It actually makes the garden looks neat and tidy. Love it!!! Thank you for the inspiration. I will try to shape mine to be tree form too this fall.
omG! My eyes are BLOWN by this garden! I came across this video just kind of surfing around and never thought I'd see anything so beauitful!!!!!! If I can get my garden looking like this by watching your videos, I'm subscribing right now!
Go for it. I just planted a new variety yesterday Magenta r.o.s. I’ve got white blue and pink chiffon. This is a cool looking magenta colored chiffon. It is small ,not to costly. Looking forward to blooms maybe this year
This is a video I had been looking for. I just bought three of them. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. Your gardens are amazingly beautiful!
Thanks. I think I’ve developed a pretty deep understanding of why plants thrive and why they don’t. That’s pretty much the only reason I still do consulting forestry work. I enjoying sharing it
Thank you!! I started shaping a rose of sharon bush into a tree about 3 years ago - so far so good as it's in our small city lot front yard. I greatly appreciated your video--beautiful garden and particular appreciation of the species.
Moon Catcher thanks ai enjoy every aspects of gardening except dealing with weeds. But that’s part of it . Thank god for weed eaters ,mulch, and roundup
I have one that has been long neglected in my yard. I too had a problem finding info on pruning to tree. In my case it was pruned by my dad to a tree but it has go floppy and was afraid to prune. Very informative and what a gorgeous garden!
Wow! You’re garden is amazing. I have a white chiffon Rose of Sharon that I wanted to train into a tree. It hasn’t been going well. You’ve inspired me to give it another try.
Mrs Sonja Stefanovski thanks. The first thing they teach in forestry school that the practice of forestry is both an art as well as a science. I think the same is true of gardening. Any time you’re dealing with a mixture of soil, oxygen, and water science can only take you so far
Your garden is so beautiful, it was lovely to have a tour. I am trying to make my rose of sharon into trees as well. Most of the videos are all about making it a wide lush bush. I loved your insight to cut back to one stem and trimming the top. Mine are flopping all over with the weight of the blooms. Not stubby enough!! I will get pruning in the fall. I hope to have mine look like yours in a few years.
Elizabeth Liston I’ve had the best bloom year ever with all the summer rains. The stoutness of the trunks were a godsend. These less stout got so bent over that I’ll have straighten them up with small fence posts or rebar till they get stouter. Keep up the good work
Amazing .the best garden , thanks you for all the information on rose of Sharon .i have them already small yet ,will keep all your tips shared with us .
Breathtaking garden. I could sit in that garden listening to the birds and taking in all the beauty of nature. You should be very proud of all your hard work.
Thanks so much! I agree, we learn from our mistakes (and boy have I made mine!) I have several rose of sharons I was going to pull but now I have other plans 😊
Hi! We are about to plant three rose of Sharon and looking for all the information we can. Your video has been very helpful. We have a few years gardening and have fallen in love with gardening. We hope to one day have such a beautiful garden like yourself sir and your wife. Thanks for sharing such beauty.💚💚💚💚💚💚
GARDEN OBSESSIONS thanks for the nice comment I can see your digging gardening as much as me. Keep it up . Learning is where the real joy is. Best of luck. A short note roses have been a very tough thing for me Starting over I would have not got so all in as I once was. To me there are better plants to focus on that require much less care and more satisfaction. Keep up the good work you’ll get a ton of satisfaction from your endeavors
Really good information and ideas for different ways of pruning these plants. I live in the S.W. of France and these plants cope very well with the heat and dryness of summer while also accepting the cold of winter. You have a really beautiful garden, thank you for sharing. You have given me plenty of planting ideas also. I will be watching this again and again.
Sorry but I think I’m out of video business. If it was a once or twice a year project I would probably do one. But it’s a ongoing process that I actually enjoy usually except when the ladder comes out I have found out that you can prune them from 10 foot to 2 foot with great results I’ll likely do more of this in the future. It’s a good time of year to be a gardener
You, Sir, have a very beautiful garden. Being a gardener myself, I know the many hours and dollars you have spent out there to get the gorgeous result you and your wife have managed to create.
Your idea to make Rosa Sharon into trees like a lollipop tree is awesome and I think it would be very good for a small garden because you could layer plantings. I love the cleome and I think the way you have the 68 foot trees. You could put the Komi under them. Thank you very much. I enjoyed your garden.
This is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
Beautiful sir
Magnificent garden! Thank you for showing the different ways to prune and trim, especially into trees! That's exactly what I needed!

Your flower garden is beautiful. Reminds me of my dad’s yard!

Thanks so much! I agree, we learn from our mistakes (and boy have I made mine!) I have several rose of sharons I was going to pull but now I have other plans 😊
Beautiful gardens. Helpful because I bought a house with Rose of Sharon that seem tree like but are going bushy. This will be fixed back to trees now.
Loved this beautiful video on rose of sharon. Best wishes for Happy Gardening 2021!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful!❤😍😍😍 Thank you!🙏
Truly a beautiful garden
Wonderful garden, I got here to see the rose of sharon pruning, but when I saw pine trees...oh my!
majawow evergreens make winter more tolerable. Mine are white pine Norway spruce. BALD CYPRESS AND RED CEDAR. MY FAVORITE IS NORWAY SPRUCE
You certainly are doing you part to help the bee's. More people need to learn to garden. Plant and enjoy the beauty of time well spent with nature.
Dash Jeffreys Amen brother
Stunning garden!

Anne Wilson Thanks. 2019 best summer garden ever. August 25 and ros still going strong
Thank you for doing this video. I wasn't sure how to care for it. Now I'm excited.
Don’t be squimhish about pruning hard
@@timarnzen4900 ok, thank you!
I cam here to see how to shape Rose if Sharon into a tree. Saw the garden and forgot what I am here for. Outstanding garden!
That’s sweet. Thanks
Just what I was looking for ❤🌹
Love your garden and your info is helpful. Would appreciate a video on your actual pruning of the Rose of Sharon.
Sorry but I think I’m out of video business. If it was a once or twice a year project I would probably do one. But it’s a ongoing process that I actually enjoy usually except when the ladder comes out I have found out that you can prune them from 10 foot to 2 foot with great results I’ll likely do more of this in the future.

Amazing garden! Would like to see more
I really don’t know how to make videos and my brother has been an overused blessing
