Imani & Jake Talk About Everything

We explore how ornamental cherry, Japanese maple, and katsura each shine in different ways—from spring bloom and layered texture to fall color and even a surprising caramel scent. The conversation breaks down where each tree works best, plus the common mistakes that can keep them from thriving.

We dig into the difference between plants that look like easy fixes and the spaces they actually need, from Thuja ‘Green Giant’ privacy screens to the scale and placement demands of Norway Spruce. The episode also explores Ginkgo biloba as a slow, resilient tree that rewards patience with striking fall color and long-term value.
