In this post I share my Tutsan (Hypericum Androsaemum) in a personal review.  You’ll find video and images in this post sharing my personal experience with the plant.

Tutsan Hypericum Androsaemum In My Landscape

I’ll be honest, at first I really didn’t know what this plant was the 2nd year in my landscape.  I had lost the tag and thought it would be fun to reach out on social media to find clues.  Totally shocked that I didn’t take a photo of the tag when I bought it on clearance last year.  It must be some where in the archive.  Either way, I can honestly say I didn’t think the plant would make it and kind of didn’t care because I bought it so cheap.

More About the Tutsan Plant

I love that bloom image above I may end up printing it to hang in my home.  WOWZA! 

After doing research today I am really leaning toward the idea of this variety being a hybrid.  There were a few post that had the Tutsan labelled in with weeds.  Mine is NOT spreading  and does great in mostly sun area where it is dry. Could this be the ‘Pumpkin’ Hypericum calycinum variety.  We will see as the plant grows.  Below are a few of the other names I found online to ID the tutsan plant.  There is one thing for sure, I will most likely be sticking with ‘st. john wort’ or just tutsan when IDing in future shares.

  • Hypericum calycinum ‘pumpkin’
  • Creeping St. John’s Wort
  • Aaron’s Beard
  • Red Star Hypericum x inodorum ‘Kolmarest’

Conifers to Consider in 2025

Conifer Trees To Consider 2025

It’s that time of year again… tree sale at the water and soil conservation district.  In this post I am going to show you the varieties I have purchased including detailed information about each. My List of Conifer Trees The list maybe a little shorter this year for some reason but the choices are perfect for my property.  If you have followed my ‘tree sale’ post in the past you know I have been participating in this sale since 2012.  It has been super fun learning about different trees (and shrubs) including what grows well in my area.  Below is the list of bare root trees we purchased this year. 2025 Tree Order include bare root pack of 10: Norway Spruce Bald Cypress Concolor Fir Canadian Hemlock Allegheny Serviceberry Here is my Order From 2025 Tree Seedling Haul 2025 Here is the video featuring the new bare root trees I am starting in containers outside my greenhouse.   https://youtu.be/rz20rEiEg48 The video is part of my Bren Haas YouTube Channel.  Be sure to reach out to me on my blog for additional information and feedback.  Conifer Trees Description My Bundle of Bare Root Conifers 2025 Norway Spruce It features branchlets that usually droop downwards and possesses the largest cones among spruces, measuring between 9 to 17 cm in length. The Norway spruce, also known as the European spruce, is indigenous to Europe. This variety can grow up to 3 feet a year and reach 40-60 feet tall. The Bald Cypress is indigenous to the southeastern United States. Known for its resilience and strength, this tree thrives in various soil conditions, including wet, salty, dry, or swampy environments. Its lacy needles are particularly admired for their striking russet-red hue in the fall. These trees grow at a rate of 1 to 2 feet annually, eventually reaching a mature height between 60 and 100 feet. Although they are originally found in wet environments, they can also flourish in well-drained, moist soil under full sunlight. Concolor Fir is native to the western United States and boasts long, bluish needles that resemble those of the blue spruce. This tree is also celebrated for its pleasant citrus-like fragrance. However, it’s important to be cautious, as it is susceptible to damage from late frosts; therefore, plant it in a way that shields it from frost. The concolor fir can grow between 30 to 100 feet tall and 15 to 25 feet wide, featuring a shallow, spreading root system. As a landscape tree, the concolor fir, scientifically known as Abies concolor (often referred to as white fir), is an excellent choice for Midwestern gardens. Not only is it visually appealing, but it is also one of the most versatile fir species.   The Norway Spruce is about 20 inches tall Canadian Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is a magnificent evergreen tree indigenous to the eastern regions of North America, stretching from southern Canada to the northeastern United States. Celebrated for its graceful and elegant appearance, the Canadian Hemlock symbolizes enduring beauty in both natural settings and landscaped gardens. These trees grow at a moderate rate, typically reaching heights of 40 to 60 feet and spreading 20 to 30 feet wide. They can gain 12 to 24 inches in height each year until they reach maturity. Known for their dense, conical form, Canadian Hemlocks can thrive in both full sun and complete shade. Trees in Protected Location   Allegheny Serviceberry is a deciduous tree or shrub belonging to the rose family, native to Eastern North America and the mountains of North Carolina. Typically, it reaches a height of 15 to 25 feet as a multi-trunked tree or in shrub form, though in its natural habitat, it can grow up to 40 feet tall. In the spring, this plant showcases eye-catching, 5-petaled white flowers that appear on 4-inch racemes, which are followed by purple, edible berries that ripen in June. This species thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained loams and can adapt to various soil types, but it does not tolerate drought well. It flourishes best in partial sun to partial shade, although it can withstand shaded conditions. While it grows at a medium to fast rate, it is relatively short-lived. The Allegheny Serviceberry is versatile in its applications; it can serve as a small shade tree, a street tree, or be placed in a woodland setting, and it can also function as a shrub in borders and hedges. If grown as a tree, it requires pruning to maintain its shape, as it tends to develop a shrubby form. This variety is easily recognized by its hairless leaves, purple-tinged new growth, and the notably tastier berries it produces. More Tree Sale Information on Blog Post You May Enjoy!
