About this video:
Add Structure & Winter Interest to Your Landscape!
7 evergreen conifers and even 2 extra bonus ones that I grow in my garden that are extremely easy low fuss, low maintenance evergreen shrubs. These are deer resistant evergreen shrubs, and affordable with most of them being available at your local box store or garden center. Fall Garden Planting is underway, and its the perfect time to add some evergreens to your garden. Evergreens are so valuable to a garden as they add so much winter interest when all of your perennials are dormant. Do you grow any of these in your garden? Comment below. Thanks for watching - Steph (Gardening in Massachusetts zone 6b) #plants #gardening #garden #gardentour #gardenanswer

Hi. Yesterday, for my birthday, we purchased an Amber Glow Dawn Redwood. We’re in southwestern CT. Zone 6b. I cannot wait to get this tree installed. I think you might love the color and texture. I’ve been assured it’s deer resistant. A new tree for me! Yay!

I have a blue spruce lollipop. Rabbits did a number on it last winter. I guess they’ll eat anything if their starving! It was on the small side so i guess ill have to wrap it in chicken wire this winter.

Thank you for all of this evergreen information, Steph. All of your evergreen specimens are looking spectacular. Autumn and winter are when I really start to appreciate their beauty since there is not much else to gaze at. I especially adore all things blue spruce.

Hi Jolie! I agree. Its when I appreciate them the most. Blue evergreens are just gorgeous, as are the yellow ones. I think its because everything else is so green, those colors really pop 💙💛

Steph, I mentioned using crepe myrtles at your front stone beds BUT I had another idea. Since you said you liked white flowering trees how about a Kousa Dogwood. They have the beautiful white flowers in spring followed by a really eye catching berry. I love these trees and they would stay a very manageable size for that area. Just putting my two cents in😁. Loved your video as always.

I want to say that I also love your grass that is shown when you talk about the Grey Owl Juniper, it looks fantastic, is it Fine Fescue? I love Fine Fescue grass and I'm trying to improve mine but not much success, mine is creeping red fescue. Wow love your grass!

I enjoyed your concise and educational video. I have some questions, but I understand if you are unable to respond.🙂 What is your soil like? Do you add certain amendments to it? Do you fertilize your landscape plants? Just asking because few things thrive in my clay, alkaline soil.

@HookedandRooted 8 ай бұрын

Hi there! All of them like well draining soil but will need consistent moisture while establishing. Once established, most of them are pretty drought tolerant, in fact all of them I listed are with the exception of the green giant arbs which would need regular water to stay happy and growing.

@HookedandRooted 7 ай бұрын

Hi there, Most evergreens do have some shedding and browing inside heading into winter. You can either leave it and it will fall on its own over time, or you could wear long sleeves and gloves and go in and shake some off. Leaving it wont bother the shrub, and it will push out new growth in spring.

@jenniferc.5232 8 ай бұрын

do you have any experience keeping evergreens in pots on the porch over winter? I've read conflicting advice online. I have a zone 3 arborvitae emerald green and I'm in 5B. It's just a cheapo from Costco that I picked up and then couldn't find a home for in the garden, so if it doesn't make it, wont' be a big loss. Trying to come up with a use for it...decorate it for christmas? hehehee.

@fiercegirldesign1 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for all the helpful info! I live in southern NH zone 5B and I bought a lollipop blue spruce a few years ago on sale in the fall at Home Depot. I was so proud of myself for getting such a great deal. However, my excitement was short-lived, because the following spring it started to lose some of its needles, so I kept an eye on it, and made sure to give it plenty of space for good airflow. Unfortunately it eventually lost most of its needles and I finally had to pull it out. I could never figure out what went wrong. I did some research online. I thought it might have been a fungal disease but I’m not sure. Have you experienced anything like this with any of your blue spruces?

@jackiewhitney5031 8 ай бұрын

Yes, and it was a needle cast disease that caused it. In fact in Ohio zone 6, most of the nurseries wouldn't see certain species like the weeping ones that Steph has because I couldn't get one here and lost a couple of blue spruces. They say once the tree gets it it's a goner. I got the weeping norwegian spruce instead and they are thriving well here.

@HookedandRooted 8 ай бұрын

Hi there! I have only had the standard/lolipop for 2 years now, and so far I haven't noticed that happening. However, it does sound like it got something like what @jackiewhitney5031 references below. Its frustrating and sad when that happens. I'm sorry you lost yours. Hopefully you will find another beautiful blue evergreen to take its place.

@aalejardin 8 ай бұрын

I have some large blue spruce on my property (Zone 6b Hudson Valley) and they all have needle cast and have lost all the needles on the bottom branches. However, there is also a smaller shrubby cultivar (don't know exactly what) that seems to be doing ok. Environmental stress may be a factor as the large trees are in a drier more exposed area. I'm glad to see yours are healthy.

Hi, you can prune on them to size maintain them. I made a video on how I shaped mine into a topiary because it was also getting large for its space. Here it is if you want to check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ra6mptClyM-VhJc.htmlsi=Z0t1YxLTcoHaPMal

All the evergreens are so beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful video. I have alot of deer. In fact I was walking around my yard today, and sure enough I saw where they have been beding down way in a corner of my yard, there is a bunch of little tree's over in our fence line they bedded down in one of my iris flower beds, they were just flatted. They are a pain in my butt. My husband loves to watch them, so their you go. I saw 10 yesterday evening in my field. Great video.😊

@suzettebergeron484 8 ай бұрын

I had several of those evergreens and the deer ate them last year. They will eat evergreens if they are hungry enough.

@HookedandRooted 8 ай бұрын

That is true, they will sample anything at least once if hungry enough. The deer resistance rating is based on plants they are less likely to eat based on their frangrance and texture. I get lots of deer, but these they haven't touched yet in my garden.
