Is the burlap only on the roots so the tree can be transported? Or is it crucial that it stay with the tree? I had a couple fruit trees in my backyard (planted by previous owners) that had been dead for a while. I took them out recently and found they had the burlap and wire cage still wrapped around them. They had other issues, but I'm thinking the burlap and cage were a major reason they didn't last.

What a lovely idea for winter interest. I have always loved evergreens since I lived in Germany. They really have great evergreen gardens which look great in winter and provide a backdrop for summer flowers as well. A win win solution. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ideas really enjoyed the video. Ps I think Aaron was right about the other one being a bit messy for this area.

I have an area in my yard that I would like to keep somewhat native with different evergreens. Love the woodland look with a few others like hydrangea, hosta, astilbe, etc. I've been looking for a blue spruce to hide a power pole but not grow too tall that the power company would come and cut the top off because it grew into the power line. Love this one! Thanks Laura!

This cracks me up. We have a tree with the most healthiest, massive honey bee hole in it, and we have gotten five healthy hives from it in the last year and 4 months. But it's right by my storage barn and sometimes we compete for space. But you could see your bees flying around you, going about their business, same as you. I love nature

Great video. I've noticed before that you sometimes keep starter plants in your greenhouse for a while. Could you do a video showing how to care for them if you can't plant them for a while? There's times I have to wait for days or even weeks to plant and the annuals in 4 pots tend to not look so good after a little while. Thanks!

Love the video. I planted a row of these along my back fence. One question I had. In winter to prevent branches from snapping with the weight of snow is it ok to use string to wrap them up a bit? Also I have some doe back at the bottoms of mine should I remove the branches that have no needles? Is that a sign of too dry conditions?

Laura you are the American Monty Don (except female and prettier) but just as enthusiastic and knowledgeable a gardener who demonstrates plants, techniques and all things gardening at your lovely garden. Would you consider a TV programme like Gardeners' World american version I'm sure lots of people would watch it.

I loved the first video of you planting this tree with the others in that bed. Today I learn I can't use this tree in my growing zone of 8b. What a disappointment. Is there an alternative tree that is for this area? Thanks for all your info and demonstrations. I enjoy watching and always learn something new.

I'm considering one of these. Question for you: I was taught to loosen the root ball to encourage root growth and keep it from being root bound. Why wouldn't you do that in this case? And why not add compost or soil pep to the native soil when you backfill? Thanks for the video!
