You did a really good job either way the trees! They look so good.

😊
Good info! I planted a smoke bush this year because of yours looking so good.
👍
Your Garden looks beautiful and healthy. The Trees with acorns are a nightmare. I had one taken out several years ago. My sister has one on the side of her house and front. I suggested that she have the side one removed. Acorns everywhere and the clean up is continually a Huge expense.
Every time I see a YouTube gardener talking up willow trees, I always think it strange. Back in the 1960s my parents purchased a home in a fairly new neighborhood in the northeast. The contractor planted willow trees on the 1 acre subdivisions, guessing because of the quick growth. By the mid 1970s all willow trees in the neighborhood had been removed because their roots had crushed water and sewage pipes. I can say for certain that I would never plant one as I learned from this history. All I can say is beware of the willows.
The smoke bush looked so good after pruning 🙂
❤
I had to cut back my purple smoke bush every couple years as the branches were rubbing on the eaves troughs and they will grow lower branches l wish l had never planted it it’s about 20 yrs old
great content, as usual. Thank you.

I love the weeping red bud! Great tutorial on tree care. Thanks
I think the tree looks better. You can see the cool weeping growth habit now. It kid of looked like a bush before. I have been working on my bed extension and cleaning up things. Now that I am 47 I have to do an hour and rest for 30 lol.

Amanda, try to put some tulle over your beds. It works for me with squirrels and raccoons. They don’t like the feeling. Yours trees are looking great 😊
👻
🌳 happy happy trees 😊
❤🌹❤️
lots of hard work

Nice
I have a smoke bush that had a branch from a dying oak tree take off a branch all the way to the bottom of the bush. We let it go to see if it would heal over on its own. Now that is so misshapen, it's good to know they can handle pruning.
We removed crepe myrtles, and you're right, the roots are extensive. Every once in a while, I'll see a sucker coming out from the ground.
I'm in Zone 7, so I'm always questioning to prune in fall or wait until spring.
Looks really good!
Thanks Amanda for reminding us to “Not get too Confident” pruning trees. For safety above all! ⛑️🥽
🌻My sisters crepe Myrtle was reaching 2 stories high. The roots lifted the driveway.
🌻Bonide carries a “Vine and Stump killer for $13 bucks. Worth that much to get rid of stumps and persistent suckers. Works on the inside so it should not affect other plants growing around it
🌻IV organic carries a tree trunk paint that protects from disease, pests and sunburn. Comes in a brown color as well from unsightly white. It’s on the pricey side but trees are an investment.
🌻there are smaller varieties of crepe myrtles and disease resistant varieties to boot 😃
Lastly I feel we don’t consult certified arborists as much as we should. 🌱Get friends/neighbors together and pitch in to pay to get informed. 🌱Ask your local Master Gardeners to hold workshops and bring in Arborists. Here in California too many of one tree( a mono culture)were planted everywhere. They are disease prone. We need diversity for overall health of the trees and wildlife 🌲🌳🌴
I don’t want my bad choice to affect my neighbors and vice versa. Please share your tips. I read the comments and learn something knew from this gardening community.
Love the smoke bush cut…
Chinese pistache tree is one of my favorites, such beautiful fall color…zone 9, south Georgia
Amanda, you did a fabulous job on all of your trees! I always appreciate how beautifully you explain your reasoning behind the steps you take in your gardening. You're a great teacher!
The Ryobi saw you used in this video looks really handy. Could you please share the model and whether or not you would recommend it to your viewers for cutting similar sized branches? Thank you!
