Really an excellent video. Explains and demonstrated so that it was easy to follow thank you.

This was so helpful. I used to take all of our tools to a guy who sharpened them. Now I can do them myself and keep up with it!

I'm so excited to separate mine this fall!

This is a very helpful video done at a pace that I found to be relaxing. A note I offer is that the part declared as being "dead" actually isn't. That part is referred to as the "mother". Rather than discarding it, honor her value by replanting with her "daughters" or in a R & R bed. That part will make new offshoots. While it may be slow, she will give forth many new plants.

Thanks for making this video, i have several new roses this spring in the UK and i've got long large "suckers" coming from them which i'll remove this evening. Thanks.

This was so very helpful. I had no idea on how to take care of the beautiful plants I inherited when I bought this house. Looking forward to following your instruction in the fall. (Zone 6b CT) Thank You!

a wonderful video, thank you!

Most kindly explained thank you I'm watching for our Australian native iris I have which needs dividing

I want to divide my huge clump of irises and store them individually over the winter. Come spring I want to plant them up into individual pots and give to friends. How would I store them over the winter

Thank you. This is so straightforward.

Thank you for this helpful video. My situation is that my neighbor's watering system overwatered my Leucospermum High Gold to the point that it got mealy bugs and the flowers literally popped off. I've removed the plant (still in its large container trying not to disturb the roots) and eradicated the insect problem. There are new buds at each "pop off" location. Should I let them grow or do I still need to prune (way early -its June in so Cal) so that the cut is no longer flat?. I have over 2+" of green below, but I'm afraid to lose these remaining buds! What's the best plan here?

I wish I could find a stock tank with higher sides. I’ve tried one 2 foot tall. And my son make sure he mows the weeds toward it so it’ll fill up with seed weeds. We only have a cistern so we have no running water to water the plants so I take 5 gallon buckets and drain my aquariums in the house and bring out the water to use as fertilizer and watering.

Does it matter what region you are in when storing your rhizomes outside?

Thanks so much!

This is the best, most helpful, easiest to understand iris video I’ve ever seen. Just what I needed to know. Thank you.

Thank you!

Can the suckers coming out of the ground be dug up and replanted to make another tree?

Thanks. It was great to learn.

Does it have to be in the fall??😊

I’d like to save the suckers off my pie cherry tree

I jave s friend that keeps giving me iris rinzones i just been throwing them away now ill plant them

This is exactly what I needed to know! Thank you!

I had no idea how awfully unmaintained by Iris beds were until watching this video. But now I have a lot of work to do. I think the best thing to do is carefully dig them all up, one bed at a time, remove the dirt but saving it, clean up and remove all unproductive "parts", fan the leaves, and plant them back but nowhere as thick. It is late May here in NW Georgia and I don't want to wait until September. What would you advise?

Why are you storing the ones you dug up instead of replanting them, unless it’s too close to a deep freeze?

Thank you.

Thanks for reminding me of the basics. I have not separated them in a few years.

Very helpful. Will these bloom in the spring?

I have oh so many roses…. 🙋‍♀️If the thrips are gone when the roses are blooming, why does cutting off the roses help? 🙋‍♀️. I LOVE your videos!

Thank you, I need to separate some iris that weirdly appeared in my garden, it is a huge clump now and gorgeous! I feel like I’m in Monet’s garden. I just found a lone Dutch iris blooming in another bed! I think my garden fairies have been at work. Unfortunately they also love field bindweed…

I bought two Carnival Yellow leucospermum plants from Home Depot. I have decided to leave them in their plastic pots under the shade because we're in the 90's temps. We have natural clay soil, so I'm aware we can amend the soil. What do you recommend? Should I go ahead and plant them in the ground? Would they survive in our Las Vegas heat temps, which can get up to 110-117 degrees for several months? If so, what is the best type of soil to amend with? I read that leucospermums thrive in acidic soil, any tips for that as well. Thank you in advance for your advice.

I did this and my plant died after the next bloom. Better to plant it where it has enough room to grow and won't need pruning.

4:14 what brand your nippers I am looking for some like them and can not find

I will be dividing my iris for the first time this fall. Giving some away and separating some for myself. This was extremely helpful. And, you are right. If something happens, oh well. It has to be separated.

Man I can't win. My peach trees where perfect, green leaves and little peaches. People say you should spray to prevent diseases. So I sprayed 2 days ago and now today every leaf looks diseased. It was like the opposite. I used Captan and mixed Malathion in a gallon. What am I doing wrong? Should I wait to spray until I see spots? It's like my spray gave it spots.

I've had bearded irises for about seven years, and they bloom every year. I'm not sure where you're getting the information about not blooming if you don't thin them, but maybe in another seven years I'll learn? I'm just now getting into gardening. The irises were there when I got there, but I didn't know what they were so I just left them alone. I will be propagating them with the help of your video. So, I thank you. Peace.

I have had hole shot and peach leaf curl affect my tree Georgia Belle at different times. They seem to require two different kinds of fungicides to prevent, but are applied on the same schedule. Can I mxi the two fungicides (Chlorothalonil and copper fungicide) together in the same sprayer for one application?

How do you know exactly when they need division?

How much sun please

Very helpful!

I thought I bought an aloe plant in a small pot a few years ago. I realize now after watching your video that it is an agave plant and it is huge already lol. I’m living in the Central Coast, too.

What if there’s no evidence that your fruit tree was grafted? Is it still important to trim away suckers?

I had no idea of what i was doing. Now i know from watching your video what to do. Thankyou.

Thank you!!!!

I have never divided my Irises! I moved in to this house, my m-i-l., after she passed 12 yearsa ago. I never had iris before! Now I know what I must do this fall! Thank you so much!

Rất tuyệt vời

WOW!!! Great presentation and information! If you haven't already, would you please consider offering your gardening knowledge in the form of a book?!?!

QUESTION FOR ANYONE. My Newhaven Peach Tree here in Chicago produced great peaches the last 3 years. It had flowers two weeks ago then we dropped to 22-23 for a few nights. No signs of buds, or peaches. But I see leaf curl starting. Since I'm not getting peaches can I use Copper Fungicide now to prevent the spread? I'm assuming the instructions say February or Fall only because the don't want us to lose a harvest but I already see no harvest this season. Thank You

Also for zone 10 what month is best to divide?

Thank you for your video. Can always learn something new. Can you tell me the name of your pitch fork?
