(intense positive music) - When we consider attracting to our yard, we mainly assume concerning yearly flowers. Our following guest says look up because trees are just as important. - The blossoms on the ground are this much of the globe. - Correct. - And also the trees are, you get a big volume of blossoms on a tree and also that'' s what we ' re. trying to capture below for'everyone that ' s. interested in pollinators, is trying to catch the. universe that the see and also all of things that. They can use for nectar.So we can utilize this part. Trigger I love this plant. chokeberry called Aronia, and it makes an edible berry in the loss. It'' s edible if you add adequate sugar to it. It'' s called chokeberry because it'' s really astringent. right off the plant. Yet it'' s obtained an extremely high vitamin C content and also they make syrups and also jellies and wine as well as points like that with it.But it ' s in the rose family members and you can see the pollen. on the flowers here, as well as there'' s a great deal of nectar therein. And you can see that'there ' s a great deal of. blossoms in each cluster, so this is an extremely reliable plant for to accumulate nectar from. When they hit one of these, they can go to numerous flowers at the same time and afterwards they can discuss right here and strike numerous flowers at the same time. So they can be very reliable at gathering nectar as well as pollen from this. This is a huge shrub, gets about 12 feet tall, three or four feet broad, flowers this time of the year, it'' s April, April as well as early May.Then this will certainly be done and afterwards we'' ll obtain to. appreciate the black berries that are on there in the late summertime. - Got it. So this is a fantastic type of. a spring-flowering bush. - It'' s spring-flowering hedge. It'' s attractive enough to. plant beside the residence or to plant as an attribute. in a garden someplace. It will spread out a little however it'' s not gon na take control of the backyard. - Good, - Yet it'' s a native plant. This is a native plant that. was actually fairly typical in the early american duration of the country. Farming and also whatnot. We put on'' t see it really typically any longer. And this is an Inkberry holly right here, this one is densa, however this is an Inkberry holly, as well as we'' ve got several hollies in right here. springtime as well as early summer.They generate

a massive variety of flowers. A matter of reality, this plant right below, if you buy comb honey that'' s. made in the United States, the majority of the comb honey United States comes from this and about a. six other varieties of Holly that expand in. Georgia as well as north Florida. When this point blooms. there'' s hundreds of flowers in a patch of these. As well as it'' s an exceptionally. reliable producer of nectar. And all of the hollies,. the Chinese hollies, the Oriental hollies, the. American hollies, these hollies, we'' ve obtained some deciduous. hollies back right here behind us that lose their leaves in the wintertime.All of these hollies.

are very, really efficient producers of nectar for honeybees.- Okay. You ' re. I don ' t think of hollies. when I consider . As well as David, I wan na give the customers. numerous options as feasible. So talk with us about. a few other good alternatives for the homeowner, that'' s. curious about drawing in bees. - This is a tree called. the Cream Color Silk Tree Lavender. As well as this is an actually great. alternative to something like a Bradford pear, if you'' re. wishing to do away with those. This is gon na bloom right here. in the following couple of weeks. It'' s April now, it ' s gon na. bloom at some point in May. This is gon na have a kind. of'a velvety white flower. It ' s fragrant. It expands nevertheless much it'' s. gon na expand early in the spring, and afterwards it stops. It doesn'' t expand anymore. via the summer. But these collections of flowers are gon na be yay huge when. They'' re really snazzy. I see '' em as road. trouble-free kind of tree. And also it'' s tiny enough. to fit in a tiny backyard. So this'' s gon na. obtain 20 to 25 feet high. It'' s gon na fit in. If you ' re in an Urban ' s. scenario with a smaller lawn, this is a good tree. - I enjoy this, David. - This is a Little Leaf Linden. It creates blossoms in very early June. The great point concerning this one as far as the bees is worried is the flowers hang upside down and the nectar doesn'' t clean. Over time, lengthy duration of time, it will certainly become an extremely large tree. in a normal life cycle, it'' s gon na be 30, 40 feet. tall in a person'' s lifetime.But it generates blossoms. at a relatively young age. Japanese beetles like the fallen leaves, especially when they ' re young, yet after the tree gets larger, that ' s not much of a problem. It ' s a good tree. It ' s a really great tree. This tree grows a lot quicker. and also obtains a lot larger, but it takes a little. longer for it to bloom.This tree is, I have not yet figured out why people don'' t plant this in their lawn. This makes a gorgeous tree. when I first started. expanding '' em I was fretted about '' em perhaps breaking and also hurting. Well, the timber is soft,. however it'' s not breakable. If you have an ice tornado on this tree, it'' ll bend all the way to the ground. - However it ' s a stunning tree. It has these big red buds on. It'' s just a remarkable tree. - Well, and also David, you have right here. These plants that. - So you wear'' t have to. They'' ll discover it? I mean, if there are bees within. 3 to five miles of you, they will locate your plants, your flowers.And simply, even if you have , it doesn ' t mean that your. are gon na use the plants that remain in your yard. - Real. - Your bees may go someplace. else as well as other bees might pertain to your yard. That'' s, you recognize, the honeybees globe is really, very big. - David, you have among. my favorites of perpetuity, the bottlebrush buckeye. (giggling) I enjoy it. - Well, this is a really. fantastic little plant. It grows rather gradually. Takes four or five years to grow. When it blooms it'' s, mine. blooms on the fourth of July.Okay.

So, I mean, this is actually. like fireworks in the garden. The flower clusters are. 10 or 12 inches tall. They flower over the training course. of three or 4 weeks. They bring in every cross-pollinating. They attract all of them. We have bees of all kinds. This plant essentially. It'' s simply impressive. And it'' s an indigenous tree to the south. It'' s one of my favorites of all time. eternal in our yard for bees, versus something. that we have to grow annually. Thank you for informing. Thank you for coming out.

It'' s April currently, it ' s gon na. Japanese beetles like the leaves, particularly when they ' re young, but after the tree gets larger, that ' s not a lot of a trouble.- But it ' s a gorgeous tree. It'' s simply a remarkable tree.
