Beautiful tree that pairs nicely with the cherry. Will be quite the spring show!

It’s ok to not be happy with a plant and pull it out. We have planted 2 dogwoods in the same spot. First one died off almost completely within a year. The 2nd one we have had for 2 years and it’s struggling. It has lichen and the top branches are dead that I have not dealt with. Also it’s putting out suckers. I think it’s the location, as dogwoods like to be on the edge of the woods. It’s not the edge of the woods where planted. But the location could be a dead zone. I have learned over the years that sometimes there are areas in your yard that for whatever reason, nothing will grow, or grow well. I hope that is not the case for your new tree and it takes off.

A beautiful upgrade. I would have done the same. You made the right decision.

The tree is gorgeous! I like how you've planned the yard for ten plus years into the future. Most don't think that far ahead.

Beautiful tree. I have learned a lot from you. Been watching you more than a year. Awesome video!

Lichens growing on a tree isn't an indication of an unhealthy tree. They are merely epiphytic and don't cause any harm. They're usually an indication of 'good' (better) air quality. Kuddos with the upgrade man.

I’ve had mine for 3 years in Wisconsin zone 5 and it’s doing great so I wanted to let you know. Thank you for your video

Just recently found your channel and have been enjoying your content. Happy to be a subscriber! 😊

what a beautiful tree! 🤩

Such a beautiful tree. Looks like fire flames.

Awesome Choice!

Awww, your excitement is palpable!! EXCELLENT redbud choice! I had not heard of that one! And the way you're planning the Kwanza Cherry and that Redbud to meet... oh that will be beautiful! And I'm so glad you saved a couple of the bigger parts of the birch trunk for winter decorating - I was thinking that as you were cutting it up, that you could use them as part of a beautiful winter container arrangement for your front steps? We appreciate you and your videos as well. God bless you and all of your endeavors!

The damage looks like the birch leaf spot or leaf miner, which both attack stressed cold climate birch trees. River birch - being native down to northern Florida - is more resilient to heat and pathogens, although it is susceptible to chlorosis in alkaline soils. The redbud tolerates alkaline soil, is native, and it already looks great!

💜 You have awesome energy 💜 thank you for the tree love, good things happen to those who respect nature 🍂

Beautiful tree. I love your content.

Your new tree is sooooo pretty - Really love the colors! I’m a huge fan of the Werner redbuds, I have Merlot and ruby falls. I read some of your viewers questioning the cultivar - that’d a be funny surprise, I’ve had mislabelled plants - it happens!! I have noticed with the Werner redbud trees there’s a LOT of variability of traits - which is part of their charm I think. For instance some flamethrowers are big weepers, some are not. Just subscribed to your channel, great content and I look to forward to updates 😊

Show this tree next spring want to see the leaves

Great choice! Redbuds are one of my favs, it's looking good. 👍

Aww

Your cheekbones look nice in this video.

Bom dia, passando e deixando o like para fortalecer a amizade, juntos venceremos

Wow looks so much like a hardy kiwi Arctic Beauty for a while!

Great job

Love the RedBud, been trying to find one local! Am in RI did you get yours local?

I believe this is the 'flamethrower' version, not the one thats one the tag. Could that be right?
