Have you ever done everything right when planting a tree, only to have it struggle or fail in the end? It might not have been your fault! You could have been installing sub-standard trees that were never going to do well because of the way they were grown in the pot.
Jason Summers is an expert arboritst and horticulturist from Melbourne in Victoria. Formerly a city parks manager, he now runs Remarkable Trees, a nursery and arboriculture services business in Victoria, supplying trees to public, commercial and domestic projects alike.
He's one of the most passionate tree people that I know, and in this episode, we get very picky with what we will accept from a tree that we're looking to buy.
From ordering wholesale trees ahead of schedule to health signs above and below ground, this episode will give you the tools you need to choose good, sturdy trees that will stand the test of time.

Are native and endemic plants better than exotic plants for biodiversity in urban landscapes? The answer is, it depends.
By now, you expect a nuanced exploration into complex ideas like this when you tune into the Plants Grow Here podcast. As a qualified horticulturist with well over a decade in landscape maintenance and horticulture, it bothers me when I see overly simplistic statements like, "native plants are good and exotics are bad."
What does "native" even mean in a country as large as Australia? Are urban conditions the same as they were before colonialism? And why do pollinators flock to exotic plants like lavender and duranta if they're so bad for ecology?
These are the types of questions we explore in this episode.

Welcome to part 3 of our horticulture trial series. In the last two episodes, Dr Ian Smith helped us understand how to plan a scientific horticulture trial, and how to collect our data. In this episode, we're going to learn how to make sense of that data and put it to use.
If you haven't listened to the previous two episodes yet, perhaps go and start at episode 205 before beginning this episode.

In last week's episode, friend of the show Dr Ian Smith taught us how to set up a horticulture trial. In this episode, he's going to teach us how to run a trial as well as how to collect and record data.
The scientific approach is a disciplined way of finding the truth of the matter. Instead of going by our beliefs, we strip ourselves of preconceptions and endeavour to find the fact of the matter - whether or not our results align with our pre-conceptions.
Ian's the perfect guest to teach us about this topic because he's an entomologist and ecologist who did his PhD on insects in shelterbelts. He's worked as an agriculture extension officer, in biosecurity, and a bunch of other science-based roles. Hopefully, his scientific mind and my tradie mind have managed to capture the essence of the scientific approach for an audience who may or may not have ever stepped foot in a university.

How are you trialling new approaches in the landscape? If you're like me, you're writing notes in an app (at best), or you're just keeping all of your ideas in your head (at worst). Did you know there's a better way?
It's called the scientific approach, and it'd been pretty beneficial for society as a whole.
Instead of approaching horticulture in a haphazard way, you can test inputs, treatments, or techniques with a greater degree of accuracy by controlling your testing conditions and measuring the variables that have changed as a result of your efforts. As a bonus, you'll also be able to see where you got a good outcome but it wasn't because of the treatment you tried - because the control group experienced the same outcome.
This episode is part one in a three part series - stay tuned next week for part two where we'll learn about how to run a test and collect data, and then in part three we will learn about how to analyse and use the data we've collected.

How can we protect trees during development? In this episode, consulting arborist Gary Moran and I explore his usual recommendations for clients wishing to protect their trees during development, whether that's for a private, commercial, or public project.
Trees might take a long time to show stress, so just because it looks great when construction finishes, that doesn't mean the tree hasn't been damaged beyond repair. It may take anywhere from a few weeks to a decade or longer for a tree to show signs of stress due to root damage, soil disturbances and compaction, and other common causes of compaction during development.
By the end of this episode, you'll have practical advice on avoiding soil compaction when there are heavy machines present, protecting tree trunks from mechanical damage, building around root zones, and much more.

A sound understanding of hardscape elements is a good feather in the cap for any horticulturist, maintenance operator, or garden enthusiast. Sadly, most of us never get a chance to learn about this part of the garden because we only get to play in the dirt.
In this episode, Joel Barnett (In Style Gardens, The Landscaping Podcast) guides us through some of the most common mistakes that people constructing hard elements make, including professionals and enthusiasts alike. We discuss topics such as concrete, paving, brickwork, pools, timber construction, drainage, irrigation, and much, much more.
By the end of the episode, you'll know more than the cheapest construction crew you can find on Gumtree. Maybe steer clear of retaining walls and pools until you've done your Cert 3, though.

I don't talk about myself much on this podcast - we tend to stick to the art and science of horticulture and interrelated disciplines. But I was recently interviewed by Joel Barnett about my recent move from Melbourne to Brisbane and the reasons behind it, my career journey, and the fact that my wife Kirstie and I are expecting a baby later this year.
It was a great chat and I'm looking forward to releasing our second interview next week, where I interviewed Joel about the most common hardscaping mistakes. Which is a topic that I know very little about as a horticulturist, so I'm glad to have been able to access his knowledge and experience.

Everybody wants a silver bullet for plant pests and diseases, but they usually end up causing more issues than they solve in the long run.
Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is an approach to managing pests in accordance with nature's rhythms. Instead of reaching straight for a chemical control, we can influence a number of factors that put pests on the back foot without harming the local ecosystem.
In this episode, I discuss 6 types of pest control that we can use in an Integrated Pest Management approach:
1. Genetic (right plant, right place)
2. Physical (mechanical)
3. Cultural (environmental)
4. Biological (predators, etc.)
5. Chemical (last resort)
6. Regulatory (biosecurity)

Most people wouldn't consider a permaculture mindset for a public park or an ornamental garden. But that's a missed opportunity, because it could help individuals, organisations and councils reduce their maintenance budgets while increasing plant health and positive biodiversity outcomes.
Observe and interactCatch and store energyObtain a yieldApply self-regulation and accept feedbackUse and value renewable resources and servicesProduce no wasteDesign from patterns to detailsIntegrate rather than segregateUse small and slow solutionsUse and value diversityUse edges and value the marginalCreatively use and respond to change
The 12 principles of permaculture can be applied whether or not you're growing food. They're simply a way to get us back in tune with nature's systems so that we can work with them instead of against them. Why should we row against the stream when we can roll with it instead?
This episode doesn't have a guest, it's just me getting up on my soapbox.

This week, we're celebrating 200 episodes! My mentor, Karen Smith, editor of Hort Journal Australia, interviews me about my picks for the "best" 10 episodes.
To pick only 10 episodes was an impossible task, but I've narrowed it down to a few essential chats that I believe all my listeners should listen to at least once. From Integrated Weed Management (IWM) to magical musical plants, make sure you don't miss any of these episodes!

Did you get a chance to see Peter Donegan's phenomenal garden design A Moment In Time at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS) this year?
We spoke about it in Ep.181 A Daydream Supported By A Series of Equations, but I wanted to touch in after the event finished to get his perspective on how everything went, and if he actually managed to pull off installing a real fighter plane into the construction.
In this episode, we speak about an old-fashioned plant palette, an exquisite green roof, the smallest water feature of the Show, and the little details that made all the difference.
Check the links below to see images of the garden, as well as two of his other builds that we discuss.

A garden is never finished. It's going to change throughout the year, and the seasons. It should be getting better over time instead of worse.
And it should also provide you with multiple yields, whether that's a food crop, supporting biodiversity, reducing soil salinity, providing shade, making the space appear larger, or simply bringing you joy.
It's easy to roll your eyes when you hear terms like "sustainability" or "nature-based solutions". They've become cliches used by companies to greenwash, and individuals to virtue signal. But these ideas have real value when you look beyond the greenwashing.
Erik van Zuilekom is a plant scientist, permaculturist, landscape designer, and plant selection specialist who has come on the show to help us think deeply about landscape design, construction, and maintenance from a permaculture syntropics perspective.
We go beyond the typical surface-level discussion and go deep into topics like growing soil, tissue culture vs seed-propagated plants, green walls, terraforming, irrigation, and much, much more.

Have you ever wondered whether plants can communicate?
And if they can, how do they do so?
Katia Hougaard is back, and this time we explore the science behind plant communication. We discuss VOCs, plant blood tests, visual signs, sounds, Venus fly traps, predators, pests, and much more.
We even ponder what science has yet to prove or disprove regarding plant communication using the Music of the Plants device that translates plant electromagnetic output as music.EPISODE LINKS

In this episode, I interview Paul Plant about what we're getting wrong as a whole industry when working with wholesale nurseries in particular, and how we can tighten up our game.
I wanted to know stuff like, how are miscommunications and poor choices costing landscapers, arborists and horticulturists time, money, and project efficiency?
Are horticultural qualifications necessary for a career shift into the wholesale nursery?
How can we prevent fire ants sneaking into our landscapes through potted plants?
And what's the deal with tissue culture propagation?
