In this informal, sponsored segment, the hosts discuss a recent gift of native bare‑root trees from TN Nursery, received as part of a promotional partnership. They highlight the nursery’s BOGO deal, describe the eco‑friendly packaging (recycled paper and moisture‑retaining gel), and showcase a diverse selection of species—including Methley plum, Christina red plum, witch hazel, Snow White willow, sumac, Carolina allspice, red buckeye, pecan, lilacs, Sweetbay magnolia, and Beirut trees. The conversation shifts to practical planting advice: soaking the roots in water for a few hours, then planting the Bayroot trees directly into the ground, noting their higher success rate compared to pot‑grown stock. The hosts encourage viewers to check out Tia Nursery for further planting supplies and emphasize the joy of providing native trees for local ecosystems and happy customers.

It's been a hot second since we've done any sponsored content. However, Evan has found a way to get more trees.
Well, these were just an extension of one of my last orders.
Uh-huh.
These were a gift.
Those were a gift? Funny enough, this year we've ordered from this company twice, and then they reached out and said, hey, we would like to send you some trees, and they did. Are you happy?
I am. They let me pick them out too.
So these Beirut trees came from TN Nursery. I'll tag them below. We've already ordered a lot of trees from them this season, so we're gonna start with the order that Evan already placed.
And these were just ones that they didn't have ready when the last box shipped out.
You have a problem.
Yeah, I do. I don't remember ordering the Methley plum, but I guess I did. Or maybe Bailey just threw them in there.
So what they do is they make sure that these are soaked in recycled paper and just make sure the roots don't get damaged during shipment and keep them moist.
Got gel.
Yeah, they put like a gel or something on it. I don't know, I don't ship the trees. I just order a lot of them. So right now they're having a BOGO deal. I don't know how much longer it's going to last. If you buy one tree or shrub or most things on their website, they'll send you another one. Even in past orders, they've sent 3, sometimes even 4 trees.
So we're not special.
Yeah, we're not special.
You could be.
They do this all the time.
This is a Christina red plum, the witch hazel, Snow White willow. Let's see, sumac. Oh, Carolina allspice.
Look how healthy those roots look.
They're huge. That's the red buckeyes. I think those are super, super cool. Oh, it's on there. That is crazy.
I'm running out of hands.
Pecan trees. What else you got? Lilacs.
Oh, lilacs.
Those already have buds coming on. Sweetbay magnolia.
Ooh, I love me a magnolia tree. You don't live in the South if you don't got a magnolia tree. So we're going to get these soaking in the pond. We want these to rest for about—
Did you say rest? You've been sourdoughing too much. I want them to soak.
You want the roots to soak in water for a couple hours. Now that these Bayroot trees have been soaking, it's time to get them in the ground. The best part about Bayroot trees is despite their name, their roots are better than the ones that you get in the pot. These roots are already accustomed to growing without any restrictions, so when compared to trees transplanted from pots, these have a higher success rate. You and all the critters living around you have a higher chance of enjoying these trees for years to come. Be sure to check out Tia Nursery to get a head start on all your planting.
