Hey friends welcome to Gardening with Creekside today is a very very very very very very exciting
day here at uh gardening with Creekside because we are going to get some trees planted here at
the new berm yes this is the day that I have been waiting for it and excited about oh for weeks and
weeks and weeks now what we're going to do is we are going to do get all of the 15 gallon trees in
the ground today it is of course November now and the time has changed which I personally love but
it does get dark earlier in the afternoon so it is already mid-afternoon so we're going to move with
purpose and get the 15 gallon trees in the ground because of course I have Jerry and the Bobcat with
the automatic massive huge auger so it will make it really easy to plant these 15 gallon trees
then later on I can come back by myself and plant like I have a couple of three gallon trees I want
to plant and then of course shrubs and perennials that I want to get in here so let me show you what
we're going to do today here we are at the newly stained fence looking just a marvelous darling and
we've got the North Pole arborvitaes these are from Proven Winners these are going to be great
course evergreen trees that roughly I'll put all the specs that they're on the screen for you so
this is just from my memory roughly somewhere in that 8 to 12 foot tall range about three-ish
four-ish feet wide they are actually going to go on this side of the fence today Jerry got a little
eat your beaver on me there and put and put them on the wrong side but they're going to
go in this area right here I know where the trees are going to go I just don't know the
exact placement so we're going to do that here in a little bit but basically in this section you'll
see we have the opening here that is where we will have the service gate that can open and close it
will remain closed from the vast majority of the time basically I'm looking at doing a double row
of the arborvitaes roughly starting not quite at the pole feeling that this whole first panel and
then maybe part of the second panel these panels are 11 feet wide and then I want to do a double
row so that means that we will come off of the fence and I'm just roughing it right here maybe
two feet off the fence had the first row and then come in front of that another two feet
or so and then window paint and have them coming in right here that way we'll have a
nice good Evergreen screen right there and then without making you dizzy we are going to get the
bit of a purple plum and we have two Okami cherry trees that is what is in the back of Johnny right
here it is the thunder cloud purple plum and then the cherry trees of course will be beautiful all
beautiful spring flowering trees nice big size and we're going to space them evenly out on the
fence some will be on this side of the fence and some will be on the house side of the fence and
then finally what we're going to get in the ground today is the thunder head Pine this
is a beautiful specimen of a pine The Pines of course are evergreen nice fun funky shape it is
going to be a little bit lower it is not going to be a tall traditional pine tree like we think of
the pies that grow wild natively here like that no not that at all it's going to be more low and wide
and it is going to go up here in this top corner so without further Ado what we are going to do
is first get these trees placed so we know where we're going to plant them and then we'll meet back
here and we'll talk about the whole process and how we're going to get these babies in the ground
okay my friends so we have got all of the trees placed you know I did it on paper and doing it
on paper then seeing it in actuality we just had to do a little bit of tweaking so I figured that
that is pretty good overall if we only had to do just a little bit of tweaking so let
me show you what we've got on the house side of the fence basically so Jackson's filling in
um filling in the ditches for us but I went ahead and I put the Thundercloud purple plum
is in the absolute center of the entire berm not sure if that is showing up really well on on the
camera and then from there we came off of the really about two full panels and put the cherry
trees on each side on the house side because I didn't want the tall trees only just on one
side I wanted to give some depth to the bed so here we have the Okami is on the second one is
right here and I know it could be hard to see I'm doing my absolute best here folks because this is
a little challenging with the sun conditions and those trees don't have any leaves on them
so sometimes it makes it a little harder for them to stand out now on as far as the North Poles go
they are going to fill in this whole bottom corner closest to the service gate we were able to put
seven of them in here we put four on the back and then three in between there they will fill in and
be nice and thick in an evergreen screen that will just fill in this whole area now I know the trees
are leaning they're in the cans they're not in the ground so it's okay everybody just breathe for a
minute we have not edged out this bed because we knew that we were going to be bringing in the
Bobcat with the auger on it and why go ahead and get a nice pretty hard line right here when the
Bobcat was going to come in and smush those lines so we're going to wait until we get the trees in
and then Jerry's going to come through and get that nice hard Edge but right here where the
North Poles are I'm going to have a good little section right in here to be able to put some
perennials in front of it so I'm thinking about putting echinacea there I have the new
um oh shoot the double one from winter just went out of my brain just like that butter pecan I have
the double coated butter pecan so I can put those there I think it'd be very very pretty so we have
a little bit of pockets here and there for all of that now let's move on up here and you might
be able to see perhaps a little bit better so we have one Okami on that side then of course we have
Jimmy Shadow hello how are you we could do like finger puppets here lots of fun the purple plum
and then up here at the top where we left the camera is the thunder head Pine if you're not
familiar with pies maybe you don't have Pines where you are and you're seeing mine and you're
like oh no Jimmy it's dying because look at all those brown needles on it it is not dying that
is what our Pines do this time of year they go ahead and release some of their needles so the
this is a pine tree just like my other pine trees and the same fact that it will shed its
needles this time of year so I am not worried about this plant it is not
under stress it is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing
and looking marvelous I do love the fun little texture of this like look at that how fun is that
so stinking cute all right so now what we're going to do is go ahead and I need my biotone I need
a big old bag of biotone for all of these get the biotone and then we will get the auger onto
the Bobcat get these in the ground and man it'll feel good to get some trees in the ground foreign
today's project is complete we are tired little puppies but man it sure does look good Jerry has
run to go grab the Drone because I just feel like I can't give you a very accurate representation of
how everything looks it's very hard to get it from ground level because it is so big and so he has
grown gone to grab the Drone so that way we can show you exactly what it looks like you know from
the bird's eye view and get the whole big picture but man first of all hopefully I don't know if
the camera will get it but we are just having a beautiful fall evening with the look at those
clouds are they not gorgeous and then showing our beautiful Fall Foliage man it is a great
time to be outside other than the fact of it's like 80 something degrees out here not gonna lie
we're sweating but it's okay the plants are in the ground love it it is looking just fantastic these
North Poles are just really popping off of the beautiful fence and that black Alder stain love it
and then um yeah so everybody is in everybody is Happy the irrigation is not hooked up in the
fact that they do not have drippers on them yet that is okay it is other than today it is cool
we've yesterday we had yesterday and Saturday we had lots of rain so the ground is nice and moist
the root balls were nice and damp so everything is good now some of the cherry trees we've got
two cherry trees of course and their trunks it was interesting getting them nice and level The
Plum Tree here we had to kind of finagle some but we got it nice and straight you have to look
more so at the main trunk and make sure that the main trunk is nice and even because some of the
canopies based on like where they were they got either got you know a little unlevel or they're
a little unbalanced that will all fill in with time so even if the canopy right now may look a
little Whopper jawed it's okay we're looking at the main trunk of the tree as long as it is nice
and straight then everything else will be fine so like for example this Okami right here when
you um look at it this way the trunk you can see is a little like I said it's a little crooked it's
not quite all the way straight it will straighten itself up as the sun gets on it as it grows and
it will develop just perfectly fine and then of course I do love this tree right here this is
that Thunder head the Thunder head Pine it is such a fun funky evergreen tree that I think is really
going to Accent this little hole area quite nicely especially since the fact that it is an evergreen
we have our red sunset Maples that go all the way down the driveway they've been so pretty the last
two years and then put in this lovely Pine that is going to get nice and more wide than it is
tall great addition to this whole area but with that being said Jerry is out with the Drone so
I'm going to let him get going we'll show you some really pretty views pretty sunset pretty
colors as always thanks so much for going with Creekside we'll see in the next video bye friends
