Bobby, what would you recommend off corner of patio ? Lions head Japanese maple or paper bark maple ?
@hobbybobby339816 күн бұрын
Probably the Acer griseum. A. palm 'Shishigashira' tends to be a fairly low branching specimen, and the bark on the griseum is much more interesting. Just my opinion, but that's what I'd do if placing one 10ft, or so, off a patio.
@user-fr1lw2nu8y16 күн бұрын
Bobby, how big does the Acer griseum get ? would you put it off corner of a patio, 11 ft away ?
@hobbybobby339816 күн бұрын
In 20 years, it'll probably get 15-20ft tall and 10-15ft wide. I think that distance would be okay, but you may want to limb it up, a little, to keep the clearance underneath. To that end, I'd look for one that has a single leader and not one that has dual leaders at a low height. Eventually, it can get a bit taller and wider, but it's not a huge tree. Good luck!

Such a cool tree! Knowing its history makes my imagination run wild, thinking of how the earth looked millions of years ago. It also makes me wonder how it could have went from inhabiting the entire northern hemisphere to only surviving in a small area of China. Maybe some disease that no longer exists? Like how the American walnut is getting decimated by blight. In any case, I just planted and Amber Glow cultivar and can't wait to see how it turns out. :) I live in the suburbs, so a normal size one was out of the question.

That's my guess too, disease or maybe a mold wiped them out. None of the other explanations really make any sense. But if that's correct, then there's a chance that whatever did it might still be around, but is also dormant.

Hey Bobby! Thanks for making this video! The fagus sylvatica pendula is my absolute favorite tree. I planted one at my old house and one at my parents’ house. I presently have three at my current residence and want to plant more. The challenge is that I cannot find them anywhere and my previous source is now out of business. Are you able to steer me in the direction of a nursery that raises these? I am located in Pennsylvania.

Wow! The one in this video is from my old house, and it's gotten so much larger in the last few years! I just went to see it, last week, and it's magnificent. This is the tree that got me into trees. How large of a specimen are you looking for?
@hobbybobby339810 ай бұрын
It's fairly unusual to find them in retail settings. I know a couple Chester Country, PA wholesale growers who have them, but they're fairly large. The one in the video was 5" - 5.5" caliper when I planted it if I recall correctly. I found that at a NJ retail nursery by accident.

Bet it was gorgeous when fresh and newly bloomed. Whites are so beautiful. I have to cut mine - they stay in bloom about at least 4-5 months+ , i.e. November/Dec to April/May. By that time, I’m tired of them and the plant desperately needs rest with a couple of spikes pulling their strength. Need to get back to leaves and roots. I keep mine fed well in the summer when they can get bright light, dry out fast and have new tips in the pot and are constantly making new leaves. That way when fall comes and they are getting a few weeks going down as far as 60s at night they can form more spikes. The years the fall is long and temps don’t get down past 57-60@ night after nice warm 75+ days, I get more spikes. As long as they have been out all summer they can take the gradual temp lowering. Its so different though in the spring where they have been inside all winter, can’t take the cold, I won’t put them back out until the temps reach at least 70, and the nights are there too. But the lowering to around the 60 range is how the Netherlands get 3-4 spikes on their production phals. Of course, theirs are inside and under controls. I was going to ask why the leaves were a bit floppy, but I see why, your roots seem very dry. I find in these clear pots, watering before those roots turn silver the plant stays happier in terms of stiff upright leaves, at least in my Orchiata bark. I also find calcium helps along with magnesium spray every two months. For me, the leaves are pretty hard. I’m using RO so need to always add calcium. I use First Rays Klite 12-1-1 as a base that has 10% calcium and all the trace minerals needed. About every couple months, I skip watering, I let them do a hard dry ie to silver for a couple of days and then water heavy until nice green. It will make it start to push roots or does for me. The Klite is a safe base to use more often at 25-50 ppm and I alternate in Better Grow plus and their bloom formula once a week or every other week. It really depends on how the plant is responding. I’m just not sold on MSU formula ie very low phosphorus and potassium. These are vital to root production and cold tolerance if you live where you can keep them outside for a longer period of time in fall/winter. You don’t need to over do, but more than 1% is needed I think. I tried it for 2 years and saw a decline and now they are doing better with the model I’m using. Especially with bare-root Vandas which I have 17 large ones that need at least 1-2 times a day watering. One watering is with 25-50 ppms of the Klite, second is with RO water or rain whatever I have available. In July and August they need many days a third watering when days are over 95 and up. You might be interested in the note I made on other video about leaving old spike about 3” tall to use for clipping and stabilizing plant when repotting etc. just a thought that really helps me out with wobbly phals especially when you need roots. As all know, the movement chafes them off and they can’t get established if wobbling around.

I find sod staples work well too - I use the cheaper 6” and if needed cut off to the length you need. Works great to keep non rhizome in place just put on each side. And can use with cattleyas too, place a shipping peanut under and push down on either side, no messing with rhizome clips that won’t work on some pots. On phals almost always get 2 spikes, get more with longer cooling. I don’t cut them off short, but leave them about 3” long to clip stakes to. This makes excellent stabilization. If no old spikes , use the lawn sod staples on each side all the way down to bottom of pot. So far has worked for me. Just a FYI.

Aren’t you worried about that humid keeping your plants wet. About 4 years ago I used one of these types and it kept everything in that level but the leaves and walls got wet even with fans. and next thing I knew a very fast moving bacterial infection popped up and cleared out 3 phals almost overnight. Scared me but I saved the others. But now I’m more a 60% tops when indoors in plastic.

I consider myself a pretty good yard pruner, But this species has me stumped.It looks a lot like a bush, not like the tall stately trees I’ve seen. Can anyone advise me the best way that I could shape it up? I understand that might be minimal for now. The top doesn’t grow up straight, it’s kind of floppy.

How big is this tent and how many watts is that led drawing? Also, I've grown under lights indoors for 20 years. With one or two exceptions, there is nothing I haven't been able to bloom due to insufficient day night temperature differential, and one of those..if you go see my videos on p schilleriana, you'll get the details, but as soon as I took that out of my warm tent, it bloomed just fine in regular house temperatures. I don't think you will need to worry about getting cooler air in if you need heaters to get to 80 degrees. This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm guessing you've changed it around. If you'd like to see what has worked very well for me setup-wise which is similar to your situation, for the last..at least 5 years without changes, I've got a grow room tour video.

Hi...thanks for your comment and info on your experiences. I'll check out your stuff. The light is rated as pulling 280-300W, and the tent is 5ft (W) x 5ft (D) x 8ft (H). One of the reasons I had issues without the grow tent is because I keep my house cold...often 62F in the winter, and the area with good light is limited. Brassavola Jimminey Cricket 'Super Bug" is an orchid that I could never bloom in my house but have bloomed in the tent. I have kept a fan to blow air from the basement into the tent at night, but it's partly to circulate fresh air into the space. I now keep the "daytime" temps between 76F and 79F, I think it is. In winter, my basement gets to about 60-62F, but in the summer, it's in the 66-68F range. Thanks, again...be well.

Bobby, what would you recommend off corner of patio ? Lions head Japanese maple or paper bark maple ?
Probably the Acer griseum. A. palm 'Shishigashira' tends to be a fairly low branching specimen, and the bark on the griseum is much more interesting. Just my opinion, but that's what I'd do if placing one 10ft, or so, off a patio.
Bobby, how big does the Acer griseum get ? would you put it off corner of a patio, 11 ft away ?
In 20 years, it'll probably get 15-20ft tall and 10-15ft wide. I think that distance would be okay, but you may want to limb it up, a little, to keep the clearance underneath. To that end, I'd look for one that has a single leader and not one that has dual leaders at a low height. Eventually, it can get a bit taller and wider, but it's not a huge tree. Good luck!

Such a cool tree! Knowing its history makes my imagination run wild, thinking of how the earth looked millions of years ago. It also makes me wonder how it could have went from inhabiting the entire northern hemisphere to only surviving in a small area of China. Maybe some disease that no longer exists? Like how the American walnut is getting decimated by blight. In any case, I just planted and Amber Glow cultivar and can't wait to see how it turns out. :) I live in the suburbs, so a normal size one was out of the question.
That's my guess too, disease or maybe a mold wiped them out. None of the other explanations really make any sense. But if that's correct, then there's a chance that whatever did it might still be around, but is also dormant.

It's fairly unusual to find them in retail settings. I know a couple Chester Country, PA wholesale growers who have them, but they're fairly large. The one in the video was 5" - 5.5" caliper when I planted it if I recall correctly. I found that at a NJ retail nursery by accident.
thanks. where can we purchase this tree? local nurseries? About how much do they cost?
Yes, try a local tree nursery...call around. It will have to be tolerant of your climate zone depending on where you live. They're more expensive for the same sized tree than species grown in more abundance, but their characteristics really make a nice specimen. Good luck!
@@hobbybobby3398 thanks! ill call around
Thank you very much. I’ve spent hours trying to fix my fan. Your tip finally did it.
I'm glad it helped you out.
Same problem. Thanks to you it’s fixed 👍🏼🌠
Glad it helped you out!
It worked! My fan kept running and the remote wasn’t working. I couldn’t shut it off even after flipping breaker off and on. I replaced the CR2032 battery and followed the instructions in the video. Thank you very much.
Glad it helped you out! Thanks for letting me know.
Sweet tent setup 👍
Cool. I'm going to plant 25 bareroot next spring for wildlife and viewing on my property.
Good luck with your project!
@@hobbybobby3398 Thank you. Merry Christmas.

I’m planting three next year in my field. Here are three of my Bald Cypress trees during late Autumn. Fast growing and like ‘wet feet’.

China also has a Bald Cypress like tree, called the Chinese Swamp Cypress and it is deciduous too
Thanks for the info... didn't know of that.
Bet it was gorgeous when fresh and newly bloomed. Whites are so beautiful. I have to cut mine - they stay in bloom about at least 4-5 months+ , i.e. November/Dec to April/May. By that time, I’m tired of them and the plant desperately needs rest with a couple of spikes pulling their strength. Need to get back to leaves and roots. I keep mine fed well in the summer when they can get bright light, dry out fast and have new tips in the pot and are constantly making new leaves. That way when fall comes and they are getting a few weeks going down as far as 60s at night they can form more spikes. The years the fall is long and temps don’t get down past 57-60@ night after nice warm 75+ days, I get more spikes. As long as they have been out all summer they can take the gradual temp lowering. Its so different though in the spring where they have been inside all winter, can’t take the cold, I won’t put them back out until the temps reach at least 70, and the nights are there too. But the lowering to around the 60 range is how the Netherlands get 3-4 spikes on their production phals. Of course, theirs are inside and under controls. I was going to ask why the leaves were a bit floppy, but I see why, your roots seem very dry. I find in these clear pots, watering before those roots turn silver the plant stays happier in terms of stiff upright leaves, at least in my Orchiata bark. I also find calcium helps along with magnesium spray every two months. For me, the leaves are pretty hard. I’m using RO so need to always add calcium. I use First Rays Klite 12-1-1 as a base that has 10% calcium and all the trace minerals needed. About every couple months, I skip watering, I let them do a hard dry ie to silver for a couple of days and then water heavy until nice green. It will make it start to push roots or does for me. The Klite is a safe base to use more often at 25-50 ppm and I alternate in Better Grow plus and their bloom formula once a week or every other week. It really depends on how the plant is responding. I’m just not sold on MSU formula ie very low phosphorus and potassium. These are vital to root production and cold tolerance if you live where you can keep them outside for a longer period of time in fall/winter. You don’t need to over do, but more than 1% is needed I think. I tried it for 2 years and saw a decline and now they are doing better with the model I’m using. Especially with bare-root Vandas which I have 17 large ones that need at least 1-2 times a day watering. One watering is with 25-50 ppms of the Klite, second is with RO water or rain whatever I have available. In July and August they need many days a third watering when days are over 95 and up. You might be interested in the note I made on other video about leaving old spike about 3” tall to use for clipping and stabilizing plant when repotting etc. just a thought that really helps me out with wobbly phals especially when you need roots. As all know, the movement chafes them off and they can’t get established if wobbling around.
Thanks, again... I'm no expert, just an enthusiast. 🙂
I find sod staples work well too - I use the cheaper 6” and if needed cut off to the length you need. Works great to keep non rhizome in place just put on each side. And can use with cattleyas too, place a shipping peanut under and push down on either side, no messing with rhizome clips that won’t work on some pots. On phals almost always get 2 spikes, get more with longer cooling. I don’t cut them off short, but leave them about 3” long to clip stakes to. This makes excellent stabilization. If no old spikes , use the lawn sod staples on each side all the way down to bottom of pot. So far has worked for me. Just a FYI.
Thanks for the info👍
I always wondered if copper would react when fertilizer interacted with it and cause issues. Keep us updated if you can please.
It grabbed onto the mount before I had any issues with the copper. Once it was secure, I removed the wire.
Bobby, do you mind telling us where you got those racks and are the shelves adjustable. How much heat is that led light putting out, not much if you need 2 heaters I guess. Are you outside in a garage, basement, etc.?
In a basement. Light heat is a non-factor. The metal rack came from Home Depot, but the shelves aren't adjustable. The plastic sided rack I made to the shelf heights I wanted.
Aren’t you worried about that humid keeping your plants wet. About 4 years ago I used one of these types and it kept everything in that level but the leaves and walls got wet even with fans. and next thing I knew a very fast moving bacterial infection popped up and cleared out 3 phals almost overnight. Scared me but I saved the others. But now I’m more a 60% tops when indoors in plastic.
I did turn it down some in terms of humidity percentage after this video. 👍
Bobby are you getting enough lite, i.e., Are you getting at least 3000 foot candles full spectrum with that lite. I mean you could put the phals down the bottom under catts, etc. Did the yellowing it looks like on a couple plants come before or after going in,the tent. What size is that? Is that a Gorilla?
The light wasn't on, obviously, when I shot this, but the light output is sufficient. Most of those plants had just gone in and I moved them around once I got a better feel for individual plant needs.
thing is going to get HUGE out in the open like that
That was the plan! You don't see it in the open very often, so that's why I did it.
But if anyone know how to fold it the way it came let me know
Trying to find a way to fold it back and put it back 😂 no videos or nothing so gonna see how it was folded n try to do it
Can't help ya' there, brotha! 🤣Good luck.
Hey Bobby, I lost my battery can you please tell me battery no that compatible? Thanks
Hi, I don't live in that house, anymore, so, unfortunately, I can't check for you. My memory says it's size N, but I may be confusing it with my Intermatic timers. If it's the coin style battery, then I have no idea.

I have the same fan. Got it because I found two Hunter Mariner on a curb and one of them had a motor spark. So I contacted Hunter about it and they let me pick certain new fans and I picked Casablanca Aris (Hunter owns Casablanca) so I got that fan and sent that Mariner back. I still have a working Mariner. The control on mine is different though. It has arrow buttons for speeds and light brightness. Still four speeds though. I have a video showing its first run.
I planted a dawn redwood tree in our town park in my son’s memory two years ago. It has a pretty crazy shape and I would like to prune it up some, but I’m not sure how. I consider myself a pretty good yard pruner, But this species has me stumped.It looks a lot like a bush, not like the tall stately trees I’ve seen. Can anyone advise me the best way that I could shape it up? I understand that might be minimal for now. The top doesn’t grow up straight, it’s kind of floppy. I appreciate advice and patience, I’m just starting to learn about this tree. I’m very excited to learn that it came from Sichuan province in China, the very place for my son accidentally passed
I'm sorry about your son. Planting a tree in his memory is a wonderful idea. I've never had to prune any of mine, so I can't offer any input there. I've always seen them grow to form. Maybe you can call a local arboretum to see if anyone can offer thoughts.
How do you make them so healthy and so green? What kind of fertilizer did do you use? My not so healthy and kind sad dry leafy
Hi. It is only this color green in the spring with new leaves. As the year goes along, they get much darker, and the leaves get stiff and feel dry. I do not use any fertilizer, but the first two years I watered it when there was no rain. The location in the video has good soil. I planted another one, last year, where the soil is not as good, and it looks the same in spring. Good luck with yours.
@@hobbybobby3398 thank you so much for your kind assistance, I’m a new planter and I have no experiences on plants, I’m still learning
You're welcome. Good luck with your tree! 🙂
I plant a Dawn Redwood in Lancaster, PA. About 1965 to 1970. It is now about 95 feet tall. I planted 2 more this spring, one grew over 6 inches already.
I'd love to see it! I'm near Morgantown.

How to take care the plant and where do I put it I live on a tropical island
I grow mine in a tent. 65F-75F, 58-65% humidity, filtered light. I keep roots moist but not wet.
Hey Bobby! I tried this trick and it got the fan started up again but it's still not responding to the remote. Any ideas?
Hi, Melissa. Thanks for checking the video out. I'm not sure what to say, honestly. Mine was fully functional after following the steps I outlined. Aside from checking your battery, not sure what to offer. Sorry... good luck.
@@hobbybobby3398 I had changed out the battery before I found your video. Maybe I should redo it. Thank you!

Apparently Bald Cypress coppices well, which is unusual for a conifer. Does anybody know if the Dawn Redwood also coppices?

Has anyone tried to make cutting of these using those plastic cups that you place around the branch filled with soil or peat moss after you remove the bark off of the branch.
That kind of stuff is beyond my pay grade. :-)
God bless you, for leaving them branched to the ground. It is the first six feet or so, that allow the burls to grow, which make this tree so unique. Please let me point out, that this tree is not the Dawn Redwood, but the dawn redwood. It was named for the dawn of time, not a woman's name. It is my biggest peeve, that people capitalize dawn. Again, thank you for leaving them alone. Your trees will one day develop the contorted boles that make them so unique.
Thanks for your comments. As far as I'm concerned, the botanical names are the "real" ones, and the common names are just for those who can't handle the truth...haha. I had a mulch guy limb up my Fagus grandifolia without permission, and I offered to cut his arm off to make a point. :)
@@hobbybobby3398 Love it!
The one I planted I removed the lower branches due to wanting the space underneath for a garden and it was next to the driveway so would have eventually had to be trimmed anyway. Mine was 2m or so when planted and well over 10m when I moved several years later. Beautiful tree. Planted another one in the new house, leaves have just opened.
@@Catubrannos You can trim the branches back a bit to get some space, but if you remove them completely, it will destroy the burls' ability to grow. I know you've already done it; just some FYI if you ever get another one.
Hi Bobby. What is the red maple in the background?
Hi, Jennifer. I don't have a definite ID on that tree. It's an Acer palmatum of some sort, but not sure if it's any specific cultivar. It's a tree that I brought with me by 60" spade transplant from my prior residence in 1998, so it's been around a while. I kept it pruned pretty well so as to not have it too large for the space.
how big is our tent ? I'm looking to put a tent in my garage for winter
Hi, the tent is 5ft wide x 5ft deep x 8ft tall. The tent can be either 7ft or 8ft tall depending on the vertical space you have. I had the space to add the included 1ft extension, so mine it 8ft tall.
What a fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing this I learnt lots 😁 I've just picked up some wood from this tree that sadly died in a garden in the UK for some woodturning. Hoping to give the wood another life as a large endgrain bowl👍
Thanks so much. I've never seen anything turned from Dawn redwood...would love to. Good luck!
@@hobbybobby3398 thanks Bobby, just turning a bowl now and making a video of the process so I'll send you the link when it's done 😁 I hope you have a lovely day, all the best Tom

@@hobbybobby3398 thanks from algeria .
@@karimkerroumi1201 You are welcome!
How big is this tent and how many watts is that led drawing? Also, I've grown under lights indoors for 20 years. With one or two exceptions, there is nothing I haven't been able to bloom due to insufficient day night temperature differential, and one of those..if you go see my videos on p schilleriana, you'll get the details, but as soon as I took that out of my warm tent, it bloomed just fine in regular house temperatures. I don't think you will need to worry about getting cooler air in if you need heaters to get to 80 degrees. This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm guessing you've changed it around. If you'd like to see what has worked very well for me setup-wise which is similar to your situation, for the last..at least 5 years without changes, I've got a grow room tour video. You are exactly the kind of person I made my channel for.
Hi...thanks for your comment and info on your experiences. I'll check out your stuff. The light is rated as pulling 280-300W, and the tent is 5ft (W) x 5ft (D) x 8ft (H). One of the reasons I had issues without the grow tent is because I keep my house cold...often 62F in the winter, and the area with good light is limited. Brassavola Jimminey Cricket 'Super Bug" is an orchid that I could never bloom in my house but have bloomed in the tent. I have kept a fan to blow air from the basement into the tent at night, but it's partly to circulate fresh air into the space. I now keep the "daytime" temps between 76F and 79F, I think it is. In winter, my basement gets to about 60-62F, but in the summer, it's in the 66-68F range. Thanks, again...be well.
I have one of these about 35 ft tall in the ground at least 6 years. I have yet to see any seed pods any idea what's with that. Thank you
Hi. Thank you for viewing. I didn't have any cones, either, in my grove after 20 years. I don't know the answer, but have heard that they're only produced in "hot" summer regions. Mine are in USDA Zone 6b.
@@hobbybobby3398 I had two in NJ had cones by this time. I planted a few small ones two years ago so we will see. I'm in SC.
Dawns will produce female cones as young as 5 years. What you are looking for, are the male cones, or strobili, that appear as strings of green pearls no younger than 18 years of age.
@@hobbybobby3398 That is incorrect. 6b is prime real estate for this tree. I have all the answers you can think of. Just throw me a question.

This is a gorgeous Shishigashira! When you planted it 18 years ago, did it have that spread out branch structure?!? The branch formation of yours is amazing.
Hi...the tree thanks you for the compliment! It wasn't this large, obviously, but I didn't do much pruning over the years, so its habit developed naturally. I recently planted a new, smaller one that has a nice habit, as well, so I'm hoping it will be a nice specimen in years to come.
this is very typical growth pattern. I have two in my yard and they basically grow with lots of skinny vertical branches in a reverse conical shape.
Thats a great looking tree. Nice work
Thanks very much. It's a great little tree.
why the sprigs of the sequoia sprout darken dry?
Hi. This was filmed in the spring before fully leafing out, so that may explain what you're seeing. It was fully healthy, not dry, and had the same appearance it always did at that time of year.
