I know youve made the circles of drip line close to the size of the root ball to get the trees going well in the ground. My understanding is that trees should be watered out away from the trunk about even with the ends of the branches in the natural drip area of the tree because the roots shoot out to there to reach water falling around the tree and from the branch tips. Will you continue to have drip line circles as the trees grow and enlarge them outward to the ends of the branches? At some point will the trees be watered by sprinklers or will they always have individual drip lines? Also do all the trees you plant in an area near each other, both evergreens and deciduous, have the same water needs/requirement to thrive or do you somehow adjust the water to fit individual tree needs?
Thank you for creating such great videos!

Hi Laura and Aaron! Every time you add something to the new property, it looks so much better. I like the 3 birch trees planted together. The pine tree is so cute and looks good there. I really like the Montana Moss, and like others mentioned below, maybe a drift of them would be pretty. Like others, I noticed that the pine is crooked. I'm sure you've fixed it by now, but wanted to mention it, too. And the arbs, are they dying from the heat? I noticed a couple by the vegetable garden that were looking sad. Thank you so much for sharing!

I adore the look of a clump of birches. If you can fit it in could you do a tour of the dahlias? I so enjoyed watching it last year that Id love a peek at them this year. For the first time I have a patch growing which were put in late but have budded up and should bloom soon: . In a previous video you showed Benjamin driving to the new land with his gator and I thought how handy it is to him not just as a toy but also to get about on the property. His driving skills now compared to when he first got it are amazing.

I enjoy viewing your projects. Thanks for sharing all that you are doing. You inspire all of us to get out and do more in our gardens. I am out in mine most every day. I've gotten a lot of good tips from you. Do you often accidentally cut your water lines? You have them running everywhere. How large is your planted garden? Your area yet to be planted? Aerial views with a drone would be fun to see sometime. maybe I've missed those presentations? Laura and Aaron, you are perfect at what you do. Thanks again.

Ouch its just that word. Clump is a detestable word in this context. We plant a 'stand' of trees in the UK. I'm planting a stand of trees at the moment, a magnolia grandiflora next to a maple red sentry and a liquidamber, which I hope will be a lovely stand of trees eventually they are only eight to ten feet tall just now. We call them multi-stems when they are in the same pot. I may be biased but these stately beautiful living things deserve a little better than 'clump' don't they?

YES! To the Montana Moss juniper. I JUST drove home from Montana last night - and the native junipers in the forest looked just like that one. You also solved the exact same question that I have been trying to figure out for my own red twig dogwoods. They are huge and beautiful, but I need some evergreen interest and this is perfect. Thanks so much for always showing us all the great options out there!

The grass behind you looks so good! Is that your new lawn? It must be, but at least at this distance it looks almost complete! I see what must be some weeds, but still, wow! The trees you planted in this video look wonderful, especially the clump of birches. Looking so forward to see this whole area develop and mature. How exciting.

Trees are amazing. They do communicate and support each other.
When you were talking about the birches, it reminded me of a good book called The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben.
There is even an illustrated edition. Also the audiobook is great to listen to. It is all about the complex and amazing nature of trees.

question about drip lines. My understanding is that trees take up most of their nutrients and water from the feeder roots at outer edges of the canopy. So when you put a circle about 1 foot radius from the trunk when the tree is young, doesn't that need to gradually expand away from the trunk as it grows?
