From natives to hybrids—and even a shrub—let’s dive into the wild world of the Aesculus genus. Buckeyes are some of our personal favorites, and we’re hoping to make you bonkers for conkers too. Aesculus glabra, bro.

This week, we’re talking all things trees—the good, the bad, and the “why would you ever do that?”

We’re diving into what you should be doing to keep your trees alive, thriving, and not silently judging you… and what you absolutely should NOT be doing (looking at you, mulch volcano people 👀).

From planting way too deep, or pruning at the worst possible time, we’ve seen it all. And yeah… we’re calling it out.

If you’ve ever said “it just died for no reason,” this episode might feel a little personal. But don’t worry—we’ll also give you the fixes so your trees can actually survive and maybe even thrive for once.

So grab a drink, step into the garden, and let’s clean up some tree care crimes—because your trees deserve better… and honestly, they’re tired of your nonsense.

Join us this week as we discuss what you should be doing in your garden RIGHT NOW, and tune noodle casserole!
