So yes the habit is to keep all the wire and burlap on but that is a lazy gardeners way of doing things. How long do you think that metal will take to rust away? And the burlap, at least 3 to 4 years. It is sprayed with a retardant to keep it from rotting. I have 30 years as a journeyman landscaper gardener and have seen trees thrive where the wire baskets and burlap have been removed and trees limp along because they were left. I once asked a landscape contractor why they left it all in and he said it was easier to remove the tree when it died. ☹

Of course the tree died, with the wire and burlap preventing it from growing properly.

As commented below, you have to remove those wire baskets. It’s a pain but you ll be glad in years to come 😀 getting roots established and not restricted is always the rule of any plant!

ALWAYS remove burlap & twine from around root ball of trees & shrub. Nurseries tell you it's OK to leave them however years later we find trees & shrubs that were left this way have been strangled by their own roots. The roots begin growing in a circular pattern and never grow outwards. If the roots have already started girdling, make shallow vertical cuts up the root ball to encourage outward growth. ❤️🙏

This actually happened to me. We bought a four year old house that had 8 very expensive trees planted into its landscape. All the trees looked vigorous and strong. By the time ten years had passed, seven out of eight had died, and every time we dug out the dead roots we found the wire basket - rusted a bit but not gone - girdling the roots severely within it.

Seriously...remove the cover and the wire. We just saw a 30yr old Spruce fall over and that stuff was still wrapped around the root ball.

Another fantastic, hilarious episode. I absolutely love Philipp’s sense of humor and timing. Add Nathan with the French lessons and it’s comedy gold. Anna how do you put up with those two? So unfair to keep up waiting to see the new addition to the family but that’s the true genius of a filmmaker- keep ‘em coming back for more!!!! Maine USA

Phillip - "part of greater Russia" made me laugh out loud. Thank you! I love your posts and what you're doing with your chateau. Sending love from New Zealand

The biggest cliffhanger of this episode is did Philip realize he needed to remove the burlap and wire, so he removed the trees and planted them again? I really hope so.

Philip and Nathan are the best comical team ever! My fav part of the show!

Hahaha, when the title said, “life changing news,” I immediately thought, “a new little one is coming to the chateau.” I was correct… except for species. 😁

You SHOULD take the wire cage off the trees. You can get girdling roots. The cages will not rust away. Watch GARDEN ANSWER on KZread. They had a huge pine that was there for 30 years fall over in a wind storm and it was because the roots weren’t able to reach out beyond the cage. She shows it and the arborist talks about it. I’ve had the same with maple trees that home builder planted and it got girdling roots as well and died.

Phillip your silly sense of humor truly gets me through some dark moments (like right after watching the evening news). A little laugh out loud is like medicine. Love your videos and your chateau is looking very beautiful. You and your lovely talented wife Anna are doing a great job 👍🏼

Please don’t forget to put deer guards around your new trees so the deer don’t eat the bark all around the base and kill the trees

Nathan makes me laugh so much. Love his digging technique. Stand on spade and wiggle wiggle wiggle.

From all the gardening KZread blogs I watch everyone says to remove the wire. It inhabits the roots. The only thing that should be buried is the rootball.

Phillip you kill me - I absolutely love your sense of humor. Wish I could be there to help you in the garden. You guys make the best videos!

Love that you’re planting trees replacing those lost to storms on your grounds. Doing so, planting trees, is really a gift to our future generations to enjoy and benefit from. The gardener is rarely fortunate to live long enough to witness the magnificence of their handy work achieve its full potential. If you have a gorgeous mature tree/s in your garden, take a moment to think of the kind soul who planted it for you all those years ago.

Good luck with the trees, if you don’t cut the wire and the wrap, they will not thrive. I have 74 years of experience and I am a Master Gardener.

Nathan is brilliant, how he manages to keep a straight face is classic. Unless you do a lot of editing..... good fun.

Nathan is getting so tall! Nice young man.

I agree with the people who have said so already. Whatever the nursery people say it is always best to take off the rootball net. Listen to people who have first hand experience. A nursery's job is to sell you plants, not to necessarily give you the right advice on how to maintain and keep your plants healthy in the long run. I'd say smaller trees with a wide fibrous root system might do ok, but most trees develop a variation of root sizes, and a lot of them are big ones to anchor the tree to the ground. Any delay or obstacles to these roots will thoroughly lower the tree's ability to stabilise and anchor itself. Another tip; newly planted trees and shrubs need to be watered and taken extra care of for the first 1 to 2 years because of the small root ball, especially during the summer months, but also during any dry spells in spring or autumn.

Phillip is in a class all by himself!! Love the droll remarks. Good luck with your trees.

Just fyi, Garden Answers had a tree fall this past fall that the wire wasn’t removed and it was still there on it as it exposed its roots. The arborist that treated the cleanup, said that it is very common to see them left on and the6 actually choke the root ball not allowing it to expand out and have a stable foundation for the adult tree to stand. I would remove the wire covering the root ball. Hugs and love from Texas!

Just a note. While the wire and burlap ARE biodegradable you will often have issues where the roots don’t go as deep down and end up the tree can get uprooted by a heavy wind. Happened with one of my trees. The previous owners 50 years ago planted a pine tree in the basket and this past summer it fell over in a storm. The whole basket and burlap was still there all those years later

Your trees in the wire baskets will be the first trees to blow over in the not too distant future.

“Most likely is part of greater Russia” - Sardonic humor is your specialty.

The experts on Garden Answer KZread channel had a mature tree get uprooted in a storm and the netting did not allow the rooting system to properly anchor the tree. With the weather you guys get at your Chateau you should definitely remove the net/cage from the base of the tree when planting.

I just finished the show Bridgerton. Great show. Seeing the show and then watching your videos makes me appreciate how our ancestors lived.

Another piece of advice: make sure not to get those hybrids that smell forever even though they have no nectar anymore. Hundreds of bees and bumblebees fly there and die from exhaustion.

The grounds of the chateau are going to be beautiful, can't wait to see the kitchen completed. Oh and of course the puppy❤

Always remove the wire. See Garden Answer where they lost massive blue spruce in wind storm and wire cage was still around root ball. They do not rust off. Twine if synthetic will not degrade and can choke trunk of tree.

I agree with the others comments, that wire and burlap needs taken off of the tree roots. It takes years and years for it to rust off inhibiting the growth of the tree tremendously.

One word - tease. Can’t wait to see you puppy & the girl’s reaction. Great job in the garden Philipp but it does make sense to cut off wire. That’s like leaving small, tight shoes on a child not letting the shoe fit their growth.

I love gardening and landscaping and it does take some trees a long time to grow but there are others you can buy that are faster growing. You can speak to your nursery to ask them what might grow faster… also I have begun doing pot planting for shrubs and even trees to get them a fresh start shows it they can flower and bloom up closer to the house and make a statement and then later I can put them out into the yard when they’re bigger and this works very nice for not just shrubs but trees as well. You can put some Vining plants such as ivies or even flowering bombs or perennials in the lower portion of the pot so that you have something from spring to fall that catches your eye along with the trees are that it also grows and or blooms but most of them only bloom in the spring. You can also do this with fruit trees for the girls that you might want in the back yard and this also works for blueberries or things that they might like to go out and pick and eat & it is Growing right off the patio!!😊❣️🌈💕A great way for them to be involved in gardening. If you have a good east window you can also grow some of the things I’ve mentioned indoors as well. You can talk to the nurse Ray about what grows inside such as geraniums in my area saw that I have blooming plants almost year-round. The company you mentioned, Skill share, What is a great idea for you and you can learn a lot about what you’re interested in from them.
