Douglas makes an appearance, looking cheerful, although Russell seems somewhat displeased and also desires attention. The discussion then moves onto a particular tree, the Japanese maple, specifically the 'blood good' variety, scientifically referred to as Acer pmum, which is described as lovely and well-suited for a corner placement.
• 01:00 - 02:00: Plant Description and Preparation The chapter seems to focus on the aesthetic design and arrangement of plants in a garden setting. The speaker discusses their intention for a particular plant arrangement, describing the desired height and color coordination with Christmas trees and pink mink plants, which are climbing on trellises. The speaker notes the growth progress of these plants, observing that some are thriving while others are lagging behind. They appreciate the pink mink plants for their ability to provide coverage without overwhelming the visibility of the decorative trellis.
• 02:00 - 03:00: Container Planting Process Begins The chapter discusses the process of container planting, focusing on creating a visually pleasing garden area with trellises. The narrator describes the morning sun exposure and afternoon protection provided by nearby structures. They begin by removing a tree and clearing the area, with various plants arranged around for possible use.
• 03:00 - 04:00: Discussion on Soil and Pot Type This chapter discusses the impact of removing a tree from a particular space and highlights the enhanced visual appeal of having an element, like a tree, tucked in a specific area. The chapter further suggests considering adding elements with more volume or fluff to enhance the setting.
• 04:00 - 05:00: Selection of Additional Plants The chapter titled 'Selection of Additional Plants' begins with a discussion about a previous project where a Christmas tree was planted in a particular pot during the fall or winter. The speaker mentions that they had thoroughly cleaned the pot and replaced the soil with fresh soil at that time. Currently, there are small Maple seedlings sprouting from the pot. They observe the size of root balls they are working with and determine that additional soil is not necessary for the current project. The speaker highlights a routine practice where the same soil remains in the container over several years even when planting a tree in a pot, as the tree is not removed annually for soil replacement.
• 05:00 - 06:00: Completion of Planting In the chapter titled 'Completion of Planting', the narrator explains the process of planting a new tree into a pot. They emphasize the importance of using the right amount of soil without any fillers, as the tree is expected to grow in the pot for an extended period. This approach helps maintain moisture, keeps the roots cooler, and provides insulation during winter. The narrator appreciates not having to refresh all the soil as part of this process.
• 06:00 - 07:00: Placement and Surrounding Plants The chapter titled 'Placement and Surrounding Plants' discusses the dimensions and characteristics of a specific black clay pot, which is described as having thick walls and a thicker lip, with a diameter of 26.5 inches and a height of 23.5 inches.

Planting a Japanese Maple in a Pot (+ Tips on Growing Trees in Containers)! 💚🌳💚 // Garden Answer Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 hey guys how's it going today we are working on a project that's long long overdue yes it is May and yes that is a Christmas tree still sitting there in that pot I considered taking the tree out before I started this project but then I thought well maybe I'm not the only one with a Christmas tree still in a pot in May because life anyway we're going to be planting some really beautiful things in this container including a Bloodgood Japanese Maple tree uh which is what I had in that container for several years prior to the Christmas tree so I thought we would go
• 00:30 - 01:00 over some of the things to look for if you're wanting to plant a tree in a pot first off there's Douglas hey morning you're looking chipper Douglas uh-oh Russell's not happy about it do you want some pets too yeah you're okay but here is the Japanese maple isn't that gorgeous blood good is a variety it's an Acer pmum and it just like this corner just
• 01:00 - 01:30 begs for something a little bit taller I mean you can see with the Christmas tree there're what I was kind of going for so I want this red to kind of just fill in this space here we've got pink mink Claus on these trellis which I think we're doing okay it looks like this one's coming back great that one's coming back that one oh I see green down in there anyway that one's just a little bit behind the really great thing about the pink mink is that they don't get so thick that you can't see those gorgeous just trellis back there what's the
• 01:30 - 02:00 plural for trellis trellises trellises trellis ey trellises doesn't sound right anyway so it just becomes this really pretty kind of lush area you can see it's first thing in the morning this area gets Morning Sun and then it's fairly protected in the afternoon because of the sun porch right here the tree right there I've got a beautiful grouping of plants just kind of sitting around here that we may or may not use I just brought a bunch of things out um but the first thing we need to do is take our tree out and kind of just clear
• 02:00 - 02:30 out this space now that the tree is gone you can see how much it adds to the space having something just kind of tucked in back there something with a little bit more fluff um so the nice thing thing about
• 02:30 - 03:00 today's project is that last fall or last winter when we put this Christmas tree in here we completely cleaned this pot out and put fresh soil in here already you can see there's a couple little Maple seedlings that had sprouted but given the size of the root balls we're putting in here today I don't think we're going to need any extra soil yay if we had the same soil in this container from like last summer and the years prior because when you plant a tree in a pot you're not taking the tree out every year and replacing the soil um but if we would have left that exact
• 03:00 - 03:30 soil in the pot I would need to do a complete refresh to plant this brand new tree so I'm super thankful that I don't have to do that today also I do not use any fillers in a pot like this in a project like this because these aren't like annual plants that are really shallow rooted this is something that I'm intending on keeping in this pot for quite a long time it's going to need the soil like it's going to need that whole Reservoir to root into it also helps keep things moist for longer and it keeps the roots cooler and more insulated in the winter time and this
• 03:30 - 04:00 pot is black Clay is what it's called so it's about like this thick or the walls like down below the lip of course the lip is thicker um and it's 26 and 1/2 in diameter and 23 and 1/2 in tall just to give you an idea of size here hey bud hey are you here to help yeah I was going to do the video with you oh good so we have our Maple we also have this gorgeous hooka that's new next year so we got a little early so we could try it out it's called dressed ball gown
• 04:00 - 04:30 beautiful huge hooka here with the bright chartreuse leaves which I think will pop back in here I think it'll look beautiful to contrast the red of the Japanese maple but look at how huge the leaves are and how ruly they are oh I just think they are so so pretty and they bloom white which is perfect for this Arrangement because the other things that I have are CIO angel wings which I may or may not use depending on how much room we actually have in here these May need a little bit more Sun
• 04:30 - 05:00 than the other things I'm putting in here but I thought we might try we've got uh some Sweet Caroline kiwi sweet potato vine which if I end up using the hookas I probably will not use this I will most likely go toward this one instead which is the Sweet Caroline Raven look at that isn't that awesome and then we also have some double up white Bonas and some Diamond Frost Euphoria I have no idea if I'm
• 05:00 - 05:30 going to use all of those plants or just a few of them so let's get this potted up and then we will talk a little bit more about longevity of stuff like this in containers what to look for some key things to know about trees and containers in particular so let's plant I'm excited to have a fresh look here [Music]
• 05:30 - 06:00 oh you guys I love how this turned out I
• 06:00 - 06:30 love it first off looks good to have something alive in this area rather than the Christmas tree but doesn't that red just pop against the White House I just think that's so pretty and the placement is such because there is a little flower bed down there it forces you to put the pot out a little bit away from the house which is perfect because it allows a lot of room for this pink mink to grow and
• 06:30 - 07:00 while it's not a super aggressive Vine it does you know kind of puff out a little bit so there's plenty of room for it to still have a lot of light and air flow right there down below this uh flower bed actually fills up fairly quickly because there are I think these are Patriot hostas these were planted before we were here um but you can see all of the growth points so there's a big hosta that fills in there and there's three of them there's one there and one there just about where the pink minks are and then there's a ground
• 07:00 - 07:30 cover that's really a prolific one this is Sweet Woodruff in the shadier spot it doesn't get quite as tall but if it's in more sun it can get pretty puffy uh but you can see the white Bloom starting in on that and then there's another ground cover that's kind of like lamium but not it's Lam asum uh and it blooms little soft yellow blooms you can see all the buds along the stems there but it's got the beautiful silver variegation and then in this spot here of course we have the North Star boxwoods which are putting on a lot of beautiful fluffy new grill grow pink Frost helbor right there
• 07:30 - 08:00 in the center with more sweet wood rft which I'm kind of hoping it cruises this way and fills up that whole space and there's a couple of bigger hostas you can see like a hosta Leaf there and there's a couple coming up right there and it kind of fills in this space with more of a weighty foliage here's our daffodil SL Viola pot from earlier this spring feel like I need to water it yep daffs are almost done though and then just over from this area you know we have this flower bed here which red tulips that were here when we moved in and I pull them out bulbing all every year and somehow they still reappear I
• 08:00 - 08:30 don't know what the deal is but uh the Korean spice if I burn them I can smell it in the air right now but this whole bed fills in big time as the season progresses anyway I'm just super pleased with this mix down here I did start by putting in the hookas along with the CIO angel wings right here but I felt like I was pushing it on a couple of different levels you can see I used a pair of scissors and cut the lip of the pot down because I was going to counter SN the whole thing just down in the soil rather resir and I was going to do that because
• 08:30 - 09:00 the CIO doesn't want as much water as the rest of the plants I was using in this container so if you counter syn a plant like that in a plastic pot it just doesn't allow as much water to get to their Roots often times that will work but I felt like that for that reason along with the fact that it may not get enough light here to be happy I just decided to pull those out and use the annuals that I brought up which I think in the end is going to be a better look all together less color blocked it was looking too like compartmental ized and color blocked and I kind of want a
• 09:00 - 09:30 little bit more interest I saved the tags out here so the dressed up ball gowns Diamond Frost euphorbia Sweet Caroline Raven sweet potato vine and the double up white Bonas first off these hookas okay so mature size on these uh the foliage canopy is about at its full size 10 to 12 in tall is how big the foliage get and then of course the blooms shoot up higher than the leaf canopy and those will be creamy white you can see on this plant there are a few bloom stocks and I think that that
• 09:30 - 10:00 will be perfect because a lot of hookers you know Bloom pink or kind of slightly red but in with these other white flowers I think that's going to be so pretty and peaceful to look at uh Zone 4 through 9 on this one when it does Bloom this one maybe is a little bit ahead of the other hookas I have here it's typically mid early to Midsummer when they're in bloom and then we have the diamond Frost Euphoria which will grow about 12 in tall I kind of just want it to incorporate and just be this nice kind of ethereal soft layer right up in here and then the double up white Bonas
• 10:00 - 10:30 so these are an amazing plant like while they look fairly small right now they will grow between 8 and 18 in tall depending on their location and all of that and I've only been growing double up Bonas for maybe a couple three years is at this point but I do find that they get usually on the larger end of the Spectrum in terms of size they do really well here both in containers and out in our flower beds I had double up pinks out in our flower beds last year and I loved it in fact I ordered a couple
• 10:30 - 11:00 Flats just to pop into flower beds because of how well they did but you can see they have a nice bronzy colored Leaf which is a beautiful contrast to our hooka and then of course the Sweet Caroline Raven just for a little soft you know trailing accent that both contrasted this and then brought some depth like big time depth of color I think it's just really pretty and it's always interesting when you're planting around a tree trunk because you know you've got the tree root ball and you can't plant anything on the tree root ball so you're really you know kind of confined to what you can fit into the
• 11:00 - 11:30 outside so that's where it's nice to have a nice big container uh beans that these are aone rated down to his Zone 4 these should do fine overwintering in this pot along with our Maple you can see the weather is starting to the wind kind of picking up a bit we're actually supposed to get a little bit of weather here in a couple hours a big storm supposed to roll through and bring rain possibly some wind most likely wind and then it's supposed to take a break late afternoon and then pick back up and rain for most of the night which everything is just looking so good from all the
• 11:30 - 12:00 rain we've been getting now in terms of trees in containers in general I don't really look at it as a super permanent solution depending on the tree you choose where it's located the size of the pot uh you might be able to get multiple years out of a tree in a container of course you know if you've got a slow growing tree in a great big pot and it's in a protected spot you'll get a lot longer out of it than you know the opposite um but I feel like it's such a good solution in so many different spaces where you can can't otherwise plant something tall or big in
• 12:00 - 12:30 the ground I could never plant this Japanese Maple in that tiny little flower bed that I just showed you so the first thing you really want to consider is the mature size of your tree and the growth rate so how fast it will get to that mature size because we will treat something like this Japanese maple though it will grow 15 to 20 feet tall and 15t wide given ideal conditions it does that very slowly of course your growth rate slows down a little bit when they're in a container but we would treat this way different than we would treat something like say a willow that grows super fast we would not be able to
• 12:30 - 13:00 get near as much time out out of a willow tree in a situation like this as we will out of a Japanese maple or some type of Evergreen that's very slow growing the next thing to consider is the hardiness of your tree what zone it is a rule of thumb when you're trying to overwinter a tree like this one uh Evergreen perennials is to choose something that's rated two zones colder than your current growing zone which for us we're in a zone six so it's safest for us to choose things that are at least a zone four rated a zone four or lower now I don't always do that this Japanese maple is a zone five so there
• 13:00 - 13:30 is a little bit of a risk there's less buffer um we've had Fairly mild Winters over the last three or four years that doesn't mean they're always going to be mild so I am risking it a little bit more um given the fact that this container is in such a protected location it's near our dryer vent um it also is protected from any kind of drying winds we typically can uh fudge that kind of rule of thumb a little bit then you need to consider what type of container you have what size it is first of all if you have a larger size container you fill fill it all the way with soil you're going to get a lot
• 13:30 - 14:00 longer uh tree life out of a situation like that than you would with something that's a lot smaller that constricts the amount of growth that your plant can have and you know if your tree fills up that container with roots super duper fast then it's not going to uh retain moisture or have as much winter insulation as you would with a container that's bigger I think I already mentioned this one is 26 and 1 12 in wide and 23 Ines tall it's pretty good size and we fill it from top to bottom with soil uh weight of your container is also huge and that will depend on where
• 14:00 - 14:30 you have it like in this protected spot weight may not matter as much but if you have a tree in a pot that's exposed and you get a lot of wind you've got a lot of um uh surface area I guess for that wind to catch on the top of that tree canopy and if your pot isn't heavy enough you're going to deal with that thing tipping over all the time and that isn't good for the pot or the tree and then the thickness of the pot too if you're using some sort of thin plastic you know those heat up a little bit faster um they don't provide as much insulation if you're using thick concrete or thick clay something like
• 14:30 - 15:00 that it's usually just a little bit better for your tree and then in terms of care you're going to be caring for your trees in containers differently than you would care for them in the ground of course the first year no matter where you're putting your trees you want to keep a really close eye on and make sure they stay moist that's super important probably I want I don't want to say more so in a pot but they just dry out faster in a container than they would in the ground so it's something that you want to make sure you're doing consistently um checking on them every couple of days again depending on on where they're located and what kind of pot you have them in um
• 15:00 - 15:30 you know some will dry out faster than others but watering consistently making sure they don't completely dry out is super important you're also going to want to fertilize because the only fertilizer that these plants are getting is what you give them you know when uh plants are in the ground their Roots can reach out and they can find nutrients in the soil most of the time unless your soil is complete junk which we have areas like that um where we do find it important to fertilize at least annually if not twice in a season but for a situation like this we'd probably want
• 15:30 - 16:00 to fertilize you know in the early spring again late spring sometime in summer and sometime probably late summer um not too late in the fall because you don't want to encourage a bunch of new growth right before winter time but probably three or four times a season I'll also be sneaking a little bit of annual fertilizer in here just to the annuals I put in between the hookas so the other plants will be getting a little bit of extra nutrients from that as well uh and then when you're going into winter you want to make sure to keep your containers on a consistent water and schedule I don't care if there's snow on the ground uh it's
• 16:00 - 16:30 something you still have to do because your pots can dry out in the winter just as much or maybe even faster sometimes than in the summer because like we have long stretches of super dry in the winter with lots of wind things just dry out and I know it's the last thing on your radar to do to go out and water your pots but we put it on like I put a reminder in my phone for every two weeks to go out and just splash a little bit of water on top of our containers and that way the roots don't like freeze dry and we don't sustain a a bunch of winter damage so if you're doing all of those
• 16:30 - 17:00 things you know making sure that the roots stay moist not drying out completely making sure you fertilize uh putting them in a protected spot I feel like is the best route to go it's the safest you should be able to enjoy your trees in containers for quite a long time again depending on variety and growth rate there's a lot of factors going in into it um and sometimes it's trial and error sometimes you'll try something and think oh that wasn't the best maybe tree for that area but I still want a tree there so maybe you try something different that's gardening that's how it goes um and like the last
• 17:00 - 17:30 Japanese maple we had in this pot I think we had it in there for three maybe four seasons and we had a weird cold snap it was in the fall um it you know it was really nice and warm and then boom the temperature dropped and it sustained a bunch of tip damage and it never really recovered from that in fact it actually went to a friend's house where uh she likes to try to recuperate plants I should ask her how it's doing so it didn't get pitched or anything it just like the whole top died out of it and it just had kind of some side branches with leaves and it ceased to be
• 17:30 - 18:00 a good tree for this location uh for what I wanted you know the look to be over here so I think it probably lives on in her garden but it was just one of those weird things and you can't really you know predict exactly what's going to happen but you want to look out for signs of stress in your tree you know if the leaves start looking weird if you start seeing a leaf drop if you start seeing roots on top of the tree or on top of the soil rather uh then you know that it's probably out growing its space it needs to get out of the container and be planted in the landscape uh and I feel like that's such a fun thing
• 18:00 - 18:30 whenever I use trees with perennials in a container being able to use them once for a beautiful arrangement like this enjoying them like this for who knows how many years we'll get out of it and then we get to enjoy them more out in the landscape once they are evacuated from this location and rehome somewhere else so we can do something different in this pot so anyway I'm really happy with this Arrangement uh one other thing I wanted to mention all of these plants are good for shade part shade here in our climate um you I know a lot of tags on Japanese maples say that they want
• 18:30 - 19:00 full sun here in eastern Oregon they like Morning Sun and afternoon protection from the Sun hookas this one can take sun or shade the double up Bonas I believe can do sun or shade yeah I just grabbed the tag to check but double up Bonas can do sun or shade and then the potato vine and the diamond Frost Euphoria the tag does say full to part sun uh but we use them in shade containers a lot and I actually see them being utilized in shade like hanging baskets that I haven't planted but I see them for sale and they do really well they may not get quite as big as they would if they were in full sun but
• 19:00 - 19:30 they're really adaptable to a lower light situation so this should be a beautiful show all season long and I'm excited to find a new home for those angel wings CIO you know I snagged three of them at down at my parents Garden Center because I don't see them all that often and they're kind of on the spendier side and I just as I was planting them in here and thinking about all the things I was trying to push I like to try to uh push plants to do things that maybe they're not supposed to do exactly uh but I thought that's too many factors against this plant I really don't want to wreck it so I'm thinking maybe some kind of like
• 19:30 - 20:00 tabletop arrangement for inside the heartley would be really pretty I'm not really sure where they're going to end up but it'll be fun um to utilize those as well anyway that is it for today's project super happy with how it turned out I hope this video was helpful if you're considering planting trees in containers it's really a fun thing to do I really enjoy the way they look so anyway thank you guys for watching and we will see you in the next one bye
