Hey Plant Peeps! We added the USDA Cold Hardiness Plant Zones in the description ☝💚
Lots of good information here, I think you should turn the volume on the background music down by like 20%, I wanna hear what you're saying in the video clear and concise and less ambiance music.
Yes indeed- the music 🎶 is a little loud in this one. Thx for the feedback!
@@OutdoorInspirations background music not even needed in any of the vids
It would be helpful to add zones; I’m in the process of choosing a tree for my patio and had to look up the zones for each tree to determine if they would work for me.
Thanks for watching! Zones are listed in the video description ☝
Great ideas for my yard. Thank you. In personally like the best Spartan Juniper
Yes Spartan is the go-to evergreen for narrow spaces in the sun!
I was looking for Blue arrow juniper. Enjoyed seeing what you presents.
Blue Arrow is a nice screening evergreen! I will add that to our upcoming plant list 🙏🌲
Thank you for sharing.
Your welcome and thankyou very MULCH for watching :)
Which ones are deer resistance?
This was amazing. Do you have any suggestion for a extremely small backyard with a creepy neighbor. I would like a hedge that is tall and narrow at the base maybe 3ft.
A privacy fence is your best option because it keeps those creepy neighbors away from you 🤣 In terms of plants, we think an Arborvitae would work great!
This video was very helpful to me. I have a neighbor that keep driving over my grass and down my driveway from his yard like he crazy. I decided to plant some trees to block cars from coming on my side. Now I know what kind of plant to get. Have a Great Day !
We're so glad to hear this was helpful for you, Lisa. Hopefully they'll stop driving over your grass now 🌲
You keep a well kept garden God would be proud.
😇
Wow thats a huge nursery
also very organized and clean- we love plant shopping there!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hi there. Thanks for the video. I would like to know which ones is the best as privacy tree for Scotland’s weather condition. I live in Glasgow.
I subscribed because you are helpful
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Naked gardening day!! 🤣 So funny.
Great video. Looking to put in a hedge across my backyard, so very helpful. Really very informative video. I am subscribing!
Thankyou Kristen! GREEN THUMBS UP 👍
Lollll going to show this to my husband
thanks Nima!
Hollys are nice
I really like how adaptable hollies in general are as a plant species. They take on drought and varying soil conditions!
Can any of these be pot (very large) plants for use on my patio, for privacy screening? Thanks. Enjoyed your video very much!
Hi Jennifer, yes! Any of the evergreens listed in this video can absolutely be planted. Just make sure your pot is large enough. Thanks for the comment and kind words.
Can I trim the bottoms up from n bottom some to expose ground underneath to expose ground yellow jackets.
Absolutely- just realize that these pruned areas may not fully come back. But feel free to hand prune as you need to, you can actually create a nice look if they all match with the limbed-up look.
Thanks for the video!I have a small (4-5 foot) potted spartan juniper and much of its foliage has turned black almost like it is covered in soot/ash (but it doesn't come off when touched). None of the foliage has browned or died just the blackness.I can't find anything online that might explain it or anything similar just cases of junipers infected then browning and dying off.Any ideas/help with what it could be and how to treat it?
Sounds like it could be a fungus, try and see if your local garden supply or plant nursery could ID with a sample u bring. Otherwise a tree/shrub specialist would be next best bet to ID. Good luck!
Nice info. What will work best for clayish type soil (alkaline as well). West Texas area.
All of these evergreens should work well for you! Amend your clay soil by digging holes twice as wide, taking out clay, amend some of the clay with composted soil or soil conditioner, mix well, then backfill with mostly black soil/little clay mixed, then create a water ring around the perimeter edge using the rest of the clay soil. Add a little slow release 10-10-10, or 20-20-20 fertilizer around the base, mulch over and water in!
Hi, wondering if you would tell me which would be the absolute best trees or shrubs to grow right at 6 ft or so in my front yard in southwest Missouri to totally block out a road and neighbors? Please help? Thanks!
Privacy hedges generally require pruning to maintain a 6' height. Ligustrum, Yew, Burdford and Needlepoint Holly to name a few strong evergreens
Best slope brush or ground cover and draught tolerant low maintenance. If can recommend some. I’m over s.calif.thanks
Hey Wen, evergreen juniper groundcovers are always excellent such as Blue Rug and for deciduous trailing shrub that also does well on slopes, check out the Winter Jasmine
What about the super fast growing thin Man arborvitae?!
Looks like a winner! Zones 3-7 and grows 12-15'. I like the look of this arb, down south a little too hot climate to plant this variety
Do you have truja green giants? Looking for privacy on all 3 sides of back yard.
We do not run/own a plant nursery, contact your local nursery or garden center. #greengiantarborvitae is a great screening evergreen!
I have a 43 inches width between a wall and the sidewalk. :/ what can I plan to make a privacy fence and roots can go straight down?
There are decorative composite screen panels you could install onto 4x4 posts, then plant Jasmine vines, or if you want only plants- the Spartan Juniper and Upright Yew - but you would need to periodically prune the sides to keep them inside that 43"
Can you prune the spartan juniper, to keep its width under control?
Hi Kimberly! Yes, you can. Just be sure to prune in the summer time. They generally retain their cone shape without pruning, though.
@@OutdoorInspirations thank you!
It would be nice to hear the music fade away while he talks
David spade vibes
Joe Dirt vibes.
What can you recommend for privacy screen no taller than 8 ft n new jersey
It is tough to find upright evergreens under 10' height- but try Emerald Petite Arborvitae or Gold Cone Juniper
Hey does that holly need a “male” plant too?
No, most of the hollies propagate berries on their own! 🙌
Plant Hardness would have been nice to add ... ie zone hardiness
Just added in description
Great video, but ditch the music after you get started.
Thanks for the feedback, Pat. We are currently in the process of revamping our content on CZcams to take it to the next level in all regards and definitely plan on reducing background music as a result. Stay tuned! 😎
How about Emerald Green?
Emerald Green is a good one too! Zones 3-7 and stays slim at 4' and grows up to 15' tall
Do you have any recommendations for plants that might grow up to 6 foot tall and not wider than 2 to 3 foot please?
Look into these: Upright Plum Yew 'Fastigiata', Sky Pencil Holly, and several Arborvitae forms which you could potentially prune to keep at 6'
@@OutdoorInspirations awesome, thanks!
What works if you have a backyard with mostly shade?
Look into these to see if they grow in your climate zone: Osmathus, Aucuba, Ligustrum, Hemlock, Ligustrum
I’m in Apex, where we see deer from time to time. How do each of these five plants do as far as deer resistance here?
Hello to the Peak of good living! Deer tend not to eat the Junipers, Holly or Magnolia- So 4 I have listed are deer resistant 🦌
@@OutdoorInspirationsSuper Helpful!
Are there any arborvitaes smaller than the one you list?
Oh yes, Arborvitae comes in many forms, shapes an sizes! Some smaller examples include: Emerald Petite Arborvitae, Berkman's Golden Arborvitae, and Jantar Arborvitae 🌿
Do Blue Points do well in a large pot getting sunlight?
Yes, they do! Just make sure the pot is a little bigger than the diameter of the pot included with the plant. A pot too large can cause the roots to get too much water and rot.
@@OutdoorInspirations Thank you! My BPJ is like 2ft long and came with a really small pot. What size planter would you recommend since it is going to grow? Is 18x22 too deep and wide?
How far from the house can you plant the Blue Point Juniper? I plan on placing one one each corner of the front house.
I'd recommend planting them 3-4 feet away from the wall of your home. That way they have plenty of room to grow.
@@OutdoorInspirations I think I have only room for 1.5ft or 2. Is this ok?
@@arielrodriguez6980 If that's all of the space you have, then I think they will be fine. Just be sure to not go under 2ft spacing since the base of the Juniper gets pretty wide.
@@OutdoorInspirations Thank you! I plan on pruning it to keep it from getting so wide. How wide does the actual trunk get?
Mature Junipers get 6-10 feet in width.
I give this video a 4.5....
Will deer eat any of these
Nothing eats like a Deer 😏 They will eat most any plants if hungry enough- Most tolerant on this list is the Littlegem Magnolia, Nellie Holly, we have not seen them eat before
Leeland Cypress, should you plant in front of a small town home?
The Leyland evergreen has been around for a long time and once chosen for fast growth and large size- however over the years it has revealed to be problematic- shallow rooted and can get damage from root rot, canker and boring insects. They need alot of room to grow and prefer space between them to help develop a stronger root system. Try to find another evergreen that may not get as large such as Arizona Cypress or Green Giant Arborvitae.
No, they get way, way too tall!
@@gingermilsap7157 I know…. Ugh, why did I listen to my neighbor. Oh boy!!!
@@OutdoorInspirations thank you, what will I do with the trees? I have two, I don’t want to throw them away…
@@legs7148 Oh no! If you do not have room to plant those I would sell or donate them.
Where can I get some walking petunias?
Well I would 'walk' over to your local garden shop 🤣 I am not sure actually, are these the standard creeping types? We use Wave series alot.
Are any of these fast growing?
These varieties will grow about 1-2 feet per year, so I would not consider these fast growing. Very stable plant types though, we love them
Carolina Sapphire & Emerald Green!
Hey Travis! We love those varieties too, good chance we will cover Carolina Sapphire in our top 5 large scale evergreens!
Over all great info.... but should included how fast they grow....just saying.
If only if- that's what she said- give us more killer burrito- if that's your real name...
How fast growing are these?
Depends on species, but a typical per year growth in height is 8 to 16 inches. Some grow faster than others- a larger growing #fastgrowingevergreen is #greengiantarborvitae and it can grow up to 24 inches each year.
@@OutdoorInspirationshi I am looking for kinda narrow fast growing to cover a shed for a 1/2 backyard. I have 2 story houses for neighbors in zone 8..then privacy in the perimeter Thanks .
@@Frank020 check out the green giant arborvitae, if that is too wide for your space check out narrower Degroots Spire Arborvitae
First thing right off, Please refilm in an HD version.
Man I want to work there!
They’re always hiring!
@@OutdoorInspirations It appears to be an Amazing place I would love to work there, but I live in Texas.
Thank You.
Hey, if the pay is right the commute is worth it 🤣
@@OutdoorInspirations Don't bring pay in it...its passion or money these days. Maybe, a new location maybe in order? Expansion in New areas?
What the price for your three
What best time plants the trees and what time is the best time to cut the trees
@@carolyoung1090 Planting is best in Fall season, lightly prune by hand anytime to keep shape!
On a scale of 4-5 . . .
5️⃣
I’m a little disappointed, first of all because most of these varieties are nothing that we haven’t heard of before… But also, I’m curious to know the cold hardiness
Small scale????
In regards to fulfilling for privacy purposes yes.
Dude is a carbon copy of David Spade
I just farted
me too
Trite, annoying music…..info is good though.
We'll take that as a win :)
Don’t like them if it looks like a cedar tree I don’t want it
They look like a giant weed
That's why there are many options 🌲😎
None of these are small scale !
Not sure what fits your preference- but comparing screening evergreens, height wise you have 10-20', 20-30', 30'+ so we chose some plants that fit the smaller scale privacy options. There are lower evergreens out there- but we don't consider something under 10 foot being able to provide much privacy or screening in typical planting scenarios.
Hi there. Thanks for the video. I would like to know which ones is the best as privacy tree for Scotland’s weather condition. I live in Glasgow.
Wow you are a ways from North Carolina so I may not have a Scooby Doo, but I believe your plant zone is 8b to 9- so of these listed in video Spartan Juniper, Blue Point Juniper, Upright Holly, and Little Gem Magnolia should work
