Good things come in small packages. 

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland chat all things small on this week's episode of The Growing Season.  

Take the full-sized version of a large plant and miniaturize it and that's what we're talking about. 

The differences between full-sized, semi-dwarf and dwarf kick off the show. Espaliers are the first out of the gate. Squirrels and apple trees are a highlight. 

Baseball and apples.  What!?

Blueberries have been tough for The Growing Season to grow.  Matt discusses. 

Shade/light conditions play a huge role in the success of plants. 

Sugar Maples and their smaller cousins become a topic of note.  Is there a "semi-dwarf" sugar maple? Hint, hint... The answer is yes. 

Imagine If You Will and Ghostbusters... The Ginkgo tops off the first half of the show. 

A globe blue spruce is the best way to spend $300 of your horticultural money. Matt HATES Forsythia and he tells you why. 

The 80's figure into the show and Matt relishes the use of 80's music to drive the point home. 

Hydrangeas have been miniaturized.  So have Smokebush - much to the happiness of many.  

Perennial geraniums are some of the most well-behaved, contained little mounders in your garden. 

Yellow coneflowers are compared to Black Eyed Susans. 

DELPHINIUMS CAN GET REALLY BIG!
