This video Steve talks about the new Oregon trees and other species and one of his favorite tools: The 1000 hole water nozzle by Dramm.
There are many beginner trees in stock and we talk about:
- Mugo Pine
- Small Shimpaku Juniper
- Large Shimpaku Juniper
- Jervis dwarf hemlock
- Japanese 5 needle white pine
- Wester Weeping Cedar
We take a visit to the beautiful specimen White Pine and a huge Chinese Wysteria that is going to get 3 bloom cycles this year. Also included is a stunning larger Shimpaku being nursed back to health with an interesting back story and home. Also a visit to the Corkbark Japanese Elm and the Hokkaido Elm specimens.
Steve talks about a few of the 10 different varieties of Maples that are now in stock.
- Sharps Pygmy Japanese Maple
- Mikawa Yatsubusa
- Dissectum Maple or Orngeola (considered by some the best for fall color)
- Autumn Moon (One of my new favorites!)
- Katsura Maple
We then walk through the covered area and visit a 20 year old Trident maple forest, Korean Hornbeam, tip on trimming trident maple. The crabapple group of 250 is down to 50 and there are still some very nice ones left. A Coastal Redwood, a bit of Hokaido Elm which requires time and dedication but the trees are so beautiful and unique. An old Hackberry (Celtis) is available with a unique feature tht would be a fun project. Arboricola Dwarf Schefflera are always a great tree to take a peek at with its complicated root structure and to imagine what can be done with it. There is a great example of an Olea Europaea (Olive Family) that gave a good challenge to potting it correctly. We end with Steve's harvested Trident maple which is looking better than ever.
