so as we walk through the nursery here
now we’re coming into Vines over here
sure look at all the vines y’ wow we

we can make it when we get to the other
side this is these are my short Hedges
on this side here so I mean I love the
dwarf CL Nana
Nana yeah Nana this is this one you guys
this isn’t this is this is a pro tip for
sure this one is great A lot of people
use the G feta a little bit larger one
and that gets real bushy this one stays
moderate
size 3T and it’s beautiful right next to
it is a little Black Mondo Grass which
different this is so cool look at
that a that cool Michael like look like
your hair haircut that’s that feels
different though right yeah we started
bringing these in from Monrovia so you
know all these junipers and stuff like
that they’re coming in this is one of my
favorites here I love this Sissa which
we had out back as you saw coming in but
look at how shiny the these leaves are
yeah what a great little small hedge um
and you could you could train this uh
the Sissa to be really tight and you can
do with something formal if you want or
you can let it get pushy and remind me
on the way out I have it brand new in
one gallon containers right walking in
the main entrance but there it’s if it’s
like 5 months old and it is the tightest
most adorable 1 foot tall hedge a
beautiful Michael has a question he
would you to ask tell us about this guy
over here this this flowering Vine is
that okay John I’ll come over here
absolutely unless you want to wait till
we get all the way around yeah let’s go
around what do we got here John we have
some fun stuff this is somebody after my
own heart bottle brush little little
John this is a short head short one very
short nice so yes we have this and then
this is is that Pringles or is that just
this is Pringles this is the PO carpus
Pringles po carpus Pringles which is
stays lower they’re taller the taller
one which is great we did this on our
Mii short see it right back there yall
it gets very tall and it can form a nice
screen I love it and it’s very sturdy
once gets absolutely yes great yeah and
I know we’re bouncing around everybody
but the nursery is so cool and big
that’s the Nana we talked about just two
seconds ago this is the other clusia the
small Leaf this one gets much bigger as
we see in the back see in the back and
so you can do a really good screen if
you want to hide some big utilities but
the Nana if you have a smaller home or a
smaller thing you want to screen or just
have a nice hedge that one works really
well and they’re very tough oh you got
you got it’s natives here too look at
all the natives if you’d like to learn
more about native plants here are three
videos I created in the past I’ll leave
a link in the description box below in
case you want to see those videos you
know in our Hedges we cast iron yeah and
one one of the ones that we’re using in
here quite a bit now is Japanese
Blueberry Blueberry we we are loving it
and we we install this and sell a lot of
this to our these really cool red leaves
like it it reminds us of the of the Fall
you know in the in the north you know
changing of the leaves but this one does
it naturally yeah this is a cool plant
has a little bit of look like a wax
myrtle Leaf but it nice mediumsized tree
now and I’m going to show you some that
we have these in pom poms that have been
formed in pom poms look at this here so
now we have these beautiful pom poms
Japanese blueberries okay Japanese
blueberries that are that are are just
fabulous these 45 gallon or 75 G uh
those are 45 wow
big guys and we sell these all the time
all day long and it’s not super super
aggressive growing so you can maintain
it oh this is easily and one of the
things that I don’t know if I mentioned
earlier but this this has a a very
fragrant white flower which forms under
underside of the leaves so they come out
again they’re a little trumpet shaped
flower nice smaller though but a nice
fragrance fragrance you walk by you go
what am I smelling and so then and then
as the name would have it blueberry the
Japanese blueberry then after the flower
petals fall off then it turns into a
blueberry definitely does but we very
rarely get to see it because the birds
come birds love it and so it’s Wildlife
attractive that’s great yeah it’s
fantastic Palm a whole Palm section
which we’ve did in another video with
John fruit trees over here
now so if we want some fragrance Amy
come here y Michael come here just watch

thing people have to be uh aware of and
careful is that citrus green which is
which is a problem but getting healthy
stock is super important and these guys
are really good we Tred to really
prevent that because it is becoming more
and more of a problem yeah it’s a sh
they’re working on solutions for that
always check with IUS and some folks on
things that they’re trying to do
hopefully some biological controls but
but the this really healthy and I and

you know for birds and insects and
there’s always re probably this is
probably this is the shape in a much
smaller if you look at smaller flowering
plants for hummingbirds this trumpet
shape this I’m not sure if this may or
may not for a hummingbird because they
only have so much where they can pull
out the the N the nutrients from the the
nectar within but this shape you all if
you if you look at smaller like the
native salvan and other plants that have
that trumpet shape that are our major
hummingbird ATT tubular is what I was
Tau that when they have that tubular
throat that comes like this and they Bo
and then it trumpets out like this it
sets inviting to the the hummingbirds

look at that it’s so vibrant and I’m
going to do a backdrop with their
wonderful Central fountain that wraps
around the the plants just wrap around
this Fountain
area wow these are tough but these

here at the nursery as a flock B oh I’m
a huge BOGO fan just beautiful John
Stephie wanted to know if we could go
see Bonsai now absolutely I’m going to
introduce you Tyler and look Stephanie
here we are so here we go this for you
Steph so you can be here we go
into
okay look at all these Bonsai this Tyler
over here Tyler is
here John look at this come on no isn’t
this great this Fus isn’t this amazing
about 75 years old wow guys you know
this is what bonsai is all about Tyler
oh my God I
got wow let me get out of the way wow
an’t that beautiful wow Tyler has has
wired it up he has lights on it when at
Christmas time so this can show you we
can show you some of the smaller ones uh
inside I’ll just stay out way
fory here we’ll go touch base with Tyler
and uh and see what he has to say look
at the TR but isn’t this isn’t this
amazing wow John look at this how many
hands everyone put their hands up there
how many hands acrosses it one two three
fourel get in there put your hand I want
to see how many hands across look at
that John a still we got some room what
wow what a beautiful beautiful
plan and they have more look at this
Bonsai y
all wow this is so sculptural John oh
noler is doing so good Tyler he’s busy
right now y’all but when he’s available
we’ll we’ll have some time to talk yes
and and Tyler does put workshops on so
you can come a couple times a month you
come and the greatest thing in the world
and I’ve suggest this to anybody that
wants to get in the Bonsai is to take
Tyler’s class there Workshop because
what happens is you walk in and you have
a quote unquote pre- bonsai plant in
front of you you have an open pot and
you have tools and Tyler will teach you
how to wire the plant into the pot Inc
and then the basics of design and then
when you walk out you have your first
Bonsai so then Bonsai is an art form to
me and it passes from it’s generational
and so if you make your first one up
pass it down to your kids it’s great yes
yes I mean look Michael this is all this
is probably we put this on the ground
this is almost as tall as you
buddy this was one of Tyler’s uh you
know passions he had a dream and he
wanted to have something that anybody
could stand at any angle and it would
create something new that’s beautiful
and so I mean take a picture from this
side and then go around take a picture
from the other side and it’s a whole
different perspective Amy yeah everybody

the Shadows of the the sun dappling
through the Tre that’s so beautiful God
Tyler is so
gifted I’m a sucker for Bonsai too
always been and you know the junipers

and you know Salvia is the
sage plant that we eat for you know our

the things I always love to do with
people is take this and say smell each
and every one of these leaves Am smell
the leaves like smell the leaf because
each and every one of the Salvia okay
there’s one called pineapple sage okay
which I love that grows in Northern
California quite a it and smells just
like a pineapple so each and every one
of these has a distinct fragrance wow so
enjoy it not only for the flowers but
for the fragrance yeah yeah and then in
nature and bringing in nature which is
great bees need our help and look at
this we just just your Nursery alone is
helping the the bee populations there’s
so many well the owner they’re not here
to harm you they just want to do their
thing yeah Mr deselle when he started if
you will look at this beautiful mural
okay he put the monarch butterfly at the
end he hired a fellow to come in and you
know to paint this because when he
started the nursery he says I want to
encourage the monarch butterfly
population oh that’s and he says that’s
why I have milkweed that’s why we do
what we do here is because of so
important yeah it’s great if we can I’d
love to talk to you about your beautiful
shade house let’s walk to the shade
house an interesting thing Michael that
takes place that our buyer in the gift
shop found as these beautiful beautiful
pieces of plastic and as you can see if
you look at each Edge it looks looks
like it’s illuminated it is and
this this polish inventor invented this
plastic but as he was making things he
noticed that the edge collected all of
the available light the ambient light
and let it come out the sides so this is
not powered by electricity this is not
none of these are plugged into
electricity so I want to let you know I
have these at my home personally at dawn
and at dusk these things just light up
our yard theyan will show you’ve got to
come to the nursery because the yellow
is popping the green is popping the red
the red is crazy so fantastic and that’s
so cool that’s just that is I love the
power of invention that people can find
things and repurpose them or or make
things out of something that is just
plastic that maybe something that
someone would discard they can reuse it
and mold it in these beautiful art forms
absolutely little circles that light up
go figure yeah how cool yeah the red is
just awesome I love the ones that yes
yes me too me too and we are actually in
your shade house so we’re in the shade
house and we have a
fantastic collection of shade plants I
don’t know I don’t we’re going to talk
about the alacia family we have maybe 15
different varieties from the
really just you know four or six feet in
length to some of them that stay very
small that are and have different places
in the gardens and uh so
just so many we have gingers we have
variegated gingers tricolored gingers we
show you some of we have agonas I you
know I I get so excited plants yeah yeah
you have the the Sham or daa Palms are
good interior plants as well as the oras
dras those are great uh those are tough
used to design a lot with them in the
80s and ’90s but we’ll pan around and
show you some more there’s a whole bunch
behind us and then we’ll go look at some
more stuff all right’s bringing us to
the AG
section yeah and this is a fun little
place here because we have
some we have some unbelievable Agave
obviously the blue agave and stuff but
this is false agave which allows us to
not be lethal Bingo not be lethal okay
don’t touch that one Michael or back
into it because that will wake you up
that will definitely wake you up and
then this family of plan over here is
mangave okay which is we love it because
it’s really look at the color that these
give us yeah and they’re not as lethal
as I I feel that the the real Agave are
they’re so
striking texture color and they’re soft
and they’re soft and they’re you know
they don’t have those like this that
hurts right you got to be careful those
those but you got to put those
strategically cut them off well you can
you could you could do that that’s a
very good point M you could do that and
still have the beauty of this and then
keep this safe it’s not good to have
this right next to a walkway at your
home you want this more in the garden
space with a little bit of room so you
can maintain around it fan favorite
customer favorite you know the Caribbean
you know Agave Caribbean super tough
super 2 and2 ft to 3T tall 3T wide and
we we allow to have lizards in there and
then and we keep them on that side of
the fence some reason I want you

Bitties which are in onein pots and it

Bonsai talk we just had is that when he
has that class people can can learn
about how to take care of a Bonsai and
