I also like to watch the videos with the natural sounds and it does make me feel I’m there plus it’s so relaxing.

I had purchased a tiger eye sumac based upon seeing it flourish in your space, and also based on the information on the tag. This will be its third summer in our yard and the suckering has been minimal and very manageable. I live in Canada in a zone 3b - 4a, so maybe it’s our cold winters that keeps the suckering in check. Either way I have no regrets and I’m happy for your recommendation. When it comes to gardening “you pay your money and you take your chances”. 😂 Silver lining; it’s always useful to learn how to remove and treat a suckering shrub.

What do you do with your roses in the winter?

A noticeable difference between the successful redbud and the struggling redbud, is that there is a large swathe of daylilies shading the rootzone of the successful tree. I have learnt from my own garden in the southeast, where it also gets very hot, the cool roots give iffy plants a better shot at success.

Let those sumac stumps and underground roots dry out in your climate for at least a year or two before adding something new back in that spot that you will water. Also roll those sumac limbs way up onto the compost pile high up so they don't touch the ground even in a rainstorm or they will root in. Stumps that thick as some of yours are will take up to a year to dry out completely.

Regarding the Redbud: I wonder what you would find if you did a root collar excavation. The mulch seems to be piled close to the trunk and covering over the root flare. This could mean that the mulch is hiding a girdling root that is cutting off the circulation to the tree causing canopy loss. It might be worth checking out. Just a thought. 10:42

Don 't worry, Laura. We still love you and your channel. I bought one a few years back, too that said doesnt spread. We wanted something that would create a nice hedge on the corner of our property, but the nearby 60-foot-tall trees kept dropping limbs on it. that it would break the tree as they are very soft wood. The following year, it tried to sprout from the same spot, but the tree again knocked it out with a big limb this time. It looks like this tree knew before for all of us.

Yes, I purchased the Tiger Eye Sumac after seeing how glorious it was in your garden, and I noticed that runners showed up some 10-12 feet away from the trunks even in the first year. So we kept an eye on it. What a magnificent accent shrub! But... we moved it where it can become its invasive self. It was really special to see you coming to the same conclusions as us, at the same time. We, however, have a special area where we can keep them. Thanks for you transparency when something goes wrong. You're a treasure trove of information.

Watching you work together and absolutely enjoying the journey is fun and rewarding in mentorship of relationships that do work together. ❤ Kudos to a beautiful journey and property.

Laura your garden “failures” only makes you more relatable. Thanks for showing it all!

I replayed at 9:45 west side again & again….paused also to look at the beauty there. What a dream garden. Just love how the west side turned out.

It’s kind of nice to see you struggle with a plant gone wild! I’m battling some kind of vine in my front yard and some kind of tree in my back yard (all planted before we moved in). I’ve been working on the front yard for weeks now, digging up everything I can trying to eradicate it before planting a hydrangea hedge as I do not want to have the vines take over the hydrangeas (it’s super aggressive!). I’ve sprayed, hacked, pulled, cut, cursed and have put cardboard on top, before putting mulch down. This area is also where the gas lines run… so no one in their right mind will come in with equipment to help get this area prepped! Just me and my shovel! Everything you plant and the areas you create always look nearly perfect, so, it’s just kind of nice to know that you also have things you deal with, like your fans do! Thank you for keeping it real!! Please show us how it goes…. What you do in the future if and when the sumac sprouts up again!

Ahh, the magical disappearing seeds! I've developed a mouse problem. Two years ago it was sweet corn. This year it was cucumbers and sunflowers. I had to move my cucumber seeds to a tray of pots and bring them indoors every night. I gave up on the sunflowers. I did trap a couple of mice, but they are REALLY difficult to keep out of a row of seeds. They can sniff them out and remove them with virtually no soil disturbance. Its like magic. You might find a fragment of a seed shell and that is it. And they come back night after night.

I'm with team Laura about giving the redbud a chance. I understand Aaron's point of view, but I selfishly want to see how it does. Most people can't easily replace a tree so to get instruction on how to help one in that situation is so valuable to us viewers.

Yes I planted tiger eye sumac and they spread within 2 years! I pulled them last year I ended up with 4 plants by time I pulled them, I have 20 acres so I moved them where they can do their thing! I still have suckers coming up in my flower bed! Biggest pain I have ever planted along with wisteria!

"You got a big root!" That's what she said,lol!!!😂

Yeah, when you planted them I wanted to say " are you sure you want to plant sumac?"😮 Did not want to be a know it all❤

I would really keep the space as unplanted as possible... for 2 yrs to manage it & get it under control... 😅😅😅 It's a journey. A long journey. Even with harsh chemicals

So sorry you lost your sumacs! I live in AL and was a bit worried when you planted them because they are everywhere here! They grow wild on the side of the roads! 💚

Laura, I read the same tag! So infuriating that this information was given to us. I’m a retired landscaper designer and I actually added this plant on a client’s design. Later I planted one in my own garden and wow, the third year for sure it went to town in my tiny downsized garden! After we pulled it out and its huge root that was probably 6’ long, we are continuously finding it in the grass, and the border under my roses and hydrangeas. It’s a nightmare for sure! My heart goes out to you and Aaron as I’m sure this journey won’t be over for a while! 😢😢😢

Wishing you all the luck in the world to get rid of the sumac! We did this exact same thing last weekend and I'm praying for us too! We bagged ours and put it in a dumpster!!

Aaron- dewalt reciprocating saw, man! This was your time for a new tool!!! 😂

We have a new mantra “mow it high” as well as “plant em high”. Love it.

Bonjour Laura! You can put the sumacs in big big pots so you can enjoy them without the mess!!! 🌿🌿🌿

I really did like the tiger sumac but totally understand that it wanted to be: "I am the monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute; From the center all round to the sea I am lord of the fowl and the brute." 😂 William Cowper

My husband and I love watching your videos - it’s part of our nightly routine! One of our favorite things that Laura does is point with ‘things’ 😂 Today it was a sumac root. Once it was a carrot. A tulip was used another time. We love the added entertainment!

I had one of these because I love the fall color too and it started suckering almost immediately! I pulled it after 6months and ripped out a ton of suckers and still have to pull suckers a year later 😮 I did end up repotting it in a giant terra cotta pot so I can enjoy the plant without dealing with the spreading and that’s worked great!

Thanks for showing the roses...I have a rose garden and really enjoy seeing different varieties.

Laura with that root talking to Aaron like it’s a wand from Harry Potter haha. Love it.

Saving a struggling tree is much more of a Garden Answer than just ripping it out.

It's been 3 years since I planted my tiger eye sumacs and they're AWESOME. They haven't suckered at all since and I think it's because: 1) the deer love them and keep it naturally in check, 2) they don't get full sun since it's shaded by a huge willow in the afternoon, and 3) I don't water back there, so it's whatever they get from the wetland or rain.

I totally agree with you on the sumac. What is not to love except for the aggressiveness! I love their color, foliage, the “flowers” or seed pods, the gnarliness when they get larger. But the invasiveness! After many years of cutting down the sumac, I still see volunteers if it goes too many days between mowing.

WOW Beautiful Roses! ❤

I have a volunteer sumac in my yard and was debating letting it stay…lol I will take it out today 😊

8:10 when you are pointing 😂 the root at him! Heaven sent❤.

Our state tree is the redbud...so glad you are saving the Forest Pansy. I think it looks great! I have three Flamethrower redbuds and the colors in the spring are gorgeous. Has lime green, green, yellow and burgundy leaves all on the same time. I think you need a few!

Good morning from Missouri! Aaron, get you a small hand held chain saw for little projects like these sumacs. I love mine, easier than hand sawing.

Personally I would have burned the cuttings as they may spread in the waste dump? Maybe not

Good for you Aaron! Mow the grass higher! The hubby has been preaching that forever!

Stump and vine killer has been one of my best friends. I had to take out a crape Myrtle that was too far gone with scale. And when suckers would come up I would cut them at ground level and paint them as well. I was told the crape Myrtle’s start healing almost immediately so do not tarry when using it. I also would make fresh cuts on main stump throughout the growing season just to get more of it in the tree. Also used on other diseased small trees that I did not plant. Zone 8 with lots of humidity! It really works. May have to treat multiple times. Hang in there. 😎

A willow would be really pretty where the sumacs were

Laura, is that a hair tie on your wrist @ 10:47 ?!😅

Thank you for "taking one for the team". I was very tempted to get a sumac

Two things.. One, in reference to your disappearing bean seeds, when I plant corn I cover it with netting until they sprout to keep birds and chipmunks from stealing the seeds.
