  1. I’m just realizing planting in the fall( early September) is the best time here in southern California ❤ At least for my Perennials, trees and evergreens 🌲 I wish I learned sooner😊

  2. Janey,
    I attended a talk by a professor who was concerned about how much pollen trees give off as his wife had asthma. He devised a scale to rate trees . I remembered him saying podocarpus as one of the highest ratings. Any concern?😢

  3. I live in zone 8b, coastal NC and podocarpus do ok here. I have one mood ring podocarpus, and my neighbor has a large standard variety.

  4. Love, love, love your tree haul!! So good to see our little soldier Monty get up to speed again. 😊🎉❤

  5. You were talking about a swimming pool in the future what are those types of trees that lose their leaves going to do for the maintenance of the pool?

  6. We have Podocarpus and I love them. The only bad part is that they get spider mites in the summer. They get full of spiderwebs and I have to broom them down quite a bit. Good job on the planting. Looks beautiful.

  7. I’m two months behind on the videos but trying to catch up by watching at a faster speed….kids am I right? In the July front tour You’ve talked about taking that purple fountain grass out for a while now. What if you take that purple fountain grass and put it roadside against the fence? Also, are you going to split the lemon sedum you have along the pathway? Seems like that’d be the most economical way to do it.

  8. Also, I’m so jealous of your silver falls! I can’t get mine to do anything like that! Show us how much you’re fertilizing that zig zag planter

  9. Also, I’m so jealous of your silver falls! I can’t get mine to do anything like that! Show us how much you’re fertilizing that zig zag planter

  10. I just saw something that said podocarpus need daily water in their first year! Is that real! Helping my SoCal zone 10 daughter plan a drought tolerant garden. She needs to screen neighbors

  11. Please announce hardiness zone at the beginning of the video lol. I just watched only to be bummed out living in zone 8, womp womp!!!

  12. The podocarpus are beautiful, BUT they are not as narrow a you think. My neighbor has six planted along her back fence and they are forty years old now. They are forty feet tall and they hang into my yard about 8 feet. They are over forty feet tall, so even the arborist can only prune them back on the bottom third of the trees. This is annoying for me because my backyard is small and they are shading my vegetable garden. The trees lean into my yard because they grow toward the sun and they are on the north side of my yard. You won't have that problem because you have the long driveway and you could get equipment into your yard but you should plan for them to shade your long border.

  13. I love your garden and am trying to pay attention, but Monty is giving such main character energy and I’m so distracted! 😂💕

  14. I have 2 Podocarpus trees! I LOVE them! So easy to take care of and such an interest to add to your garden.🥰We’re in zone 8 and they THRIVE: 4 years now!
    They’re GORGEOUS!

  15. The trees look fantastic, but Monty stole the show! You and Jason both deserve to have nice long back massages after all of the hard work you did today! This was a really great video!

  16. Janey im so excited for y'all, all those trees are so beautiful and just a feww years they will be growing so big. Suggestion, i seen a few committee about all those evergreens in the side bed, i think that is a wonderful idea. Im afraid they will make the orange tree's stressed and it will be to bunched in the orchard, but wherever you plant them they will be beautiful. You your channel and love y'all
    I hope your alright. Sounds like you may have acold
    Praying your alright❤

  17. We just drilled several holes in our tree trunk and filled with a substance called stump remover. It rots the stump and roots from the inside

  18. Monty is so funny…..he doesn't realize he's just like a toddler….needs to be right in the middle of things so he doesn't miss anything (including between Jason's legs) but is underfoot at the most inopportune times!

  19. Supervisor Monty inspects everything! From all vantage points, too, to get a closer look!

    I thought "uh oh' when I saw one of the podocarpus was spaced too wide…replanting another day…no biggie.
    But, they make a wonderful addition and a great texture for the long border.
    I love the "Roman Candle" podocarpus!

  20. Move the center potocarpus, centered between the other two? The other tree in front looks close to the middle one. Looking nice with all the new trees.

  21. I live in southeastern coastal NC, zone 8. Podocarpus is hardy here. I have that have been in the ground for 15 years.

  22. It’s hardy in zone 8! I have them! Southern living has a line of podocarpus that are hardy in zone 7b-11!! They have the Roman candle variety as well, it’s my favorite

  23. Beware how close you plant next to the house and the office. The October Glory Maple Tree has a shallow, sprawling root system123. The roots are most likely to be seen near the surface, and can quickly raise and damage sidewalks, driveways, and home foundations2. The tree has a series of roots reaching outward from the trunk, with anchoring roots holding it firmly in place and smaller feeder roots soaking up moisture and nutrients4. The tree roots typically range way beyond the branch spread, sometimes as far as twice as wide4.

  24. I would love to hear why you think the bobo hydrangeas are not doing well. I have two and mine burn every single year but they only get part-sun. It blows my mind. I have thought maybe they are getting too much water. I would love to hear your thoughts as you transplant the bobo.

  25. like that monte keeps watch . probably the fertilizer was the focus, my golden eats fertilizer so i need to use it and keep him inside

  26. Hey, Janey. I just looked it up its zone said 8-11. Is that specific to that variety? I hope not I just added it to my list of wants.

  27. Hi Jenny, I hope that I was the winner of the lemon tree. My name is Andria. I am so excited to. I can’t believe it. 😊 Thank you so much. OMG, 🎉
