50 Plus! Screening Plants - Border, Corner Foundation, and Hedge Plants

This video is a combination of several videos I have done on screening plants. These are the plants that can be used to block a neighbor's property, create a wind break, or be used on the corner of a foundation planting.

This is several videos I have done on screening plants over the last few years. Thanks for watching!

Suddenly I realized WHY ypu named your pup, HOLLY. The holly varieties plants are familiar old friends to you guys. Now I get it. ❤

I just love attending horticulture school, School of Plants, by the Putnams.

I’m so glad I found your channel. We are planning to install 400’ of privacy hedge on my property in Houston, TX this year and because of your videos, I have decided not to plant 150 of the same plant!!!

We used Tea Olives and Schip Laurels for our screen and we used Green Giant Arborvitea, Carolina Sapphire and Yoshino Cryptomeria trees along our back area to screen out the railroad tracks. Everything is 4 years old and really starting to fill in nicely😊

This is a much needed video! Personally I feel like this is one of the most important topics because privacy and a good backdrop are key to enjoying our outdoor spaces. Also picking the right screening plant is key to avoiding maintenance headaches. Just such an important video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!

Thanks for including Magnolia Stellar Ruby and Serendipity. I don't think many people know that there are now Magnolias dense & compact enough to serve as screening plants.

Thank you for this video, I need to add some screening / hedges to the garden. I keep pausing the video and researching the plants, it's gonna take a while to get through the whole video 😂

Wonderful video. Thank you for being such a great resource!
We have a large wooded lot and need lots of screening plants! This was very helpful!

Thanks Jim. I am in zone 6 Massachusetts and did not know i could grow a camellia here. i am always envious of the plants when you show them. I have ordered one winter snowman to see how it does. and will get more if it survives it's first winter. i will protect it from the winds. thanks so much for the great video.

Perfect video at the perfect time. Moved to a new house that is a blank canvas! I took lots of notes!

Zone 7a/b here. I'm in a heavy deer populated area...avoid the Chinese holly. I planted mine as part of a screen and the deer here love it

[dawnb]

One of my favorite videos...very helpful information Jim. Thank you. Zone 6b-7a.

Your videos have been so helpful for me! A transplant from FL, and after many years I'm still learning so much about this planting zone. I've gardened for many years and now actively landscaping my yard/garden, I've gained so much great information and have purchased some of the shrubs/trees you've featured after watching your videos. Love camellias, viburnums, lorapetalum, and so many more! Needed this screening shrub video. Thank you!

[buckWildest]

lots of work for this video THANKS JIM!

[grinchis]

I love these shrub videos. Some, I've never heard of or seen in nurseries.

[deborahmansfield]

Great video! Thanks for mentioning you have an accessible video for lower zone plants. Living in a 6B on top of a hill that catches a lot of wind, I like to plant down a zone. I have learned so much from watching your videos.

[julieh]

This is great, Jim! Exactly what I needed right now. I already have many of these based on your recommendation and they are all thriving! Thanks, again! 😊

Absolutely love the content of these videos. They are so helpful and it give me an opportunity to have different choice until my new landscape.
