Hit the Dirt; Native Plants for Landscaping

Hello I'm Dave. They hope that that that there have been talking about landscape design for the winter and today I'm going to talk more to the weekly about the native plant that I've advocated in our wild garden and working out of rough field guide to Acadia National Park mean available in most local bookstore in the first place and I want to talk about of the white pine and the poor than a lot of weight. Me at the beautiful they have normal anyway and they won't grow in a wet by the Like a lot of wind if you plant it in a window in the fall that liable to die over the winter and it doesn't necessarily make a great green tree a lot of people credit for green. But as they get older the lower branches Raven you can see right under it and other pines that are of value the red in Norway pine are highly regarded in their grade but they work real well on an April natural or wild land the dak pines in the pit find they're beautiful but they're not readily available in their crate and

harvesting in the wild isn't recommended but they're. Possibility of a liner you can sometimes buy some of these type plants a very small seedling from mail order nursery and grow them in pots or in a field yourself and in time we can develop some beautiful. Natural native pine to add to our coastal landscape with that Tilly the Tamarac very large to the tree that love wet and is very good for naturalizing in the bite where you have a lot of water ending don't plant it in a puddle but an area that is more a year round the hill very suitable for the crew. The read through to one of my favorite highly undervalued by land for the thought of it that the most common and mean of a practical wild career track by many people. They grow very fast with an act point for bringing the very durable grouper off without the will of Bud warm but every tree or plant has some type of

path almost the end and they make very strong curry that they get big at the pole of the white fruit with your very beautiful and silvery color of the small but as they get big then not as strong a wood and have a lot more tendency to break as they get older and the top fall off and a lot of times they become ugly when they're big and old though. Don't miss the fairly white brew for all your green if you want a nice tall planting and in the long run black brute like wet but they're not available available in their free prey to the general rule where the turn him walk one of the most popular gave him and then again they don't like a lot of wear and a lot of people try to plant him locked in a pot that they both then they turn yellow in the winter and they yellow all year and it's because they're getting too much when further up another tree that is undervalued by the lean in trade but

worked real well in a natural and native landscaping and they also have a problem in an area where the aren't doing well to begin with it's probably not a good idea to encourage and plant a lot of. Them are the they're having so much trouble fighting back in the natural realm. And white arborvitae certainly beautiful landscaping about them and then the deer that love the film though they keep in mind if you want to work with the you might have to take a matter in a lot of the area to try to repel deer or or be ready to accept that the theatre are going to be brough to a certain level and try to plant bigger stronger the hand that are left without the world being killed by the deity and put it never giving you a lot of information on the conifer the grow in our area and possible for the acquiring them. And so it's important to look as we drive around or walk around our property and at the wood and see the different things that are growing in the thigh which we like and we might want

to add to our land next week I'll talk about the native girl and I the bill for it the day. Hello Dave Weigel car hit the dirt. We've been talking about the native grow and filming and today I'm going to expand on the robbery that we can work within our landscape to grow in the woods all around Europe are warped Europe are coming in to our alpine Juniper. Some people call it the very fast growing low reading the very cold and very very common it's hard to dent the populations of wild Juniper that you dig it you mop that them and a little volunteer that'll turn into quite large plant in a very short time in your own garden. If you're willing to let them and other type of group or the Bar Harbor Juniper. Very youthful and landscaping they have a beautiful kind of silvery blue collar and our

group of love gravelly by the oil there one of the when the grow they'll tolerate salt for a human bird with a very difficult situation they grow a lot of plants. And always look good in combination with the road that one of my very favorite combination of the cold and bare Berry of another one of my very favorite plant that grows on rock several The trails in Acadia National Park a creek down lead to then create a wonderful that captivating that that worked well and in the rock garden that way and along with ample and poor thought. Don't try to grow bear bury and rid the oil they'll die they'll be very unhappy. Dora the wild rhododendron that had beautiful pink and purple flowers and braying that we all recognize from driving down the road guy but maybe don't necessarily know what the plant is like Swampy little by little take a little bit of readily available and there are free trade and it's

great for naturalizing around the mall ponder in a dream in the area that can be damp or a door can work beautifully and we burn the plant that is available readily in the nursery trade and I used to think of it as very common in Maine but there's a wonderful aroma and I've gotten very you who are using it and growing it in very gravelly areas that need very little care it'll grow almost anywhere but it won't. You can try and try it if you want to harvest from the wild you're not going to have any of that. So look forward to your local nursery bayberry of one of my very favorite local plant food Well it has a wonderful aroma you can make a handle fragrant out of the berry. And it is very hopeful it growed on led to them often places in less than a couple into the toilet of breaded who creeping around in on top of a rock and for that reason and all feel very difficult to dig and it's available in there he prayed anyway though it

worked well in combination with the er go through the juniper that I talked about before and hopped aboard the new gold pond and those type of plants together create a real CO the loft that is the type of wild gardening that so much appreciate. My ack loading planted a Viburnum. I can't say enough about the value of Viburnum in the landscape there are many different varieties that grow very well I mean they're all here plant Viburnum dentate I'm of the native that may be my favorite landscaping plant of all but that it does so well in such a wide variety of conditions that will grow in wet bottle grow and gravel it'll grow in full sun it will take quite a bit of it. And the birds absolutely love the blackberries that grew so Viburnum are. Very mean going in that era until in almost every land and there are other varieties that are very fragrant of the viburnum. The car left the one that been a favorite for a long time but it's grown to many problems and

been replaced by the dead guy or the Burke Woody and who then if you're interested in plants that are very great. Viburnum for the first place to start looking they rivaled lilac or any other Prager planted borrowed wonderful smell though we've been seeing the value of using different native plants in the landscape than my idea to integrate the native plant through who work with their relatives ornamental in many cases as well if you want to create a thimble while gardening plant the native And if you want a type of if you want beautiful ornamental avail you plant over a door and plant them of the well or even other Native American and then you can create Garden little that is by many people for a year to the day for hit the bear.
