Thanks for this wonderful garden center tour. I would love a Gnarly Olive tree. The one I have is pretty big in height, but laughable compared to these for beauty. Gnarly olive tree back in my top 5 must haves :-) thanks George!

😂 They actually like the garden to be fair, bamboo gets a bad reputation when in reality with careful variety choice, proper planting technique and maintenance they’re a plant that brings so many positives to a garden.

Great channel George. I have a decking area of my garden with a few tropical plants. A Traccy, now 13 years old and 8 feet high is the star. I've always loved the Washingtonia and I have one in a pot from seed 5 years ago. Now 3 feet high, I'm thinking of taking a gamble and plant it outside. I know I'll need to protect it each winter, your advice is really helpfull, I'll take that on board. My question is have you any tips on the planting of it. I've got a good spot, south facing I've chose. I've dug the hole, poured grit in a foot below where the rootball will be. I'm thinking perlite more grit etc. Any tips really appreciated thanks.

Great example of where negligence and laziness lead : video from Yorkshire Kris Exotic Gardening : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnmoqH6tjNd0gMU

Just had a quick skim through, I don’t think it’s entirely negligence and laziness as such - I get where you’re coming from but ultimately a lot of us want to get to a point where some of the unusual palms etc. with hopeful hardiness claims can have a real chance in the ground. Yes, you could protect everything optimally/ bring it in but part of the attraction of exotic gardening js pushing the limits of what we can grow outside with minimal protection and we really have had some challenging weather back in 2022 for example. There’s always going to be losses but it’s great to see his stunning large Jubaea and so many of the other hardier palms thriving without any effort. Sometimes a little bit of luck and a few mild winters in a row is required for the more unusual stuff to settle in but no doubt we’ll all keep trying 😊

Thanks. im looking forward to watching it all grow over the next few years. It will be a different garden in 5 years once all the palms, scheffleras,aralias and bamboos get taller . everything should start growing quickly next year 😀 iv so many cool plants iv been growing from seed in the greenhouse for 2 or 3 years that can get planted out next year as il have enough height and shade provided by my small trees for them to thrive out in the garden . im looking forward to spring .

Plumeria is my fav tropical flower, when I lived in San Diego, California, there were tons and good-sized ones.. I bought some seeds years back in a bontanical garden in Berlin, and gave them to my Dad when visiting back in 2020 in Costa Rica/they live on the Caribbean coast in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca/check out on google images, so beautiful.. Anyhow, he germinated when I was was there and now, after 4 years, they have become beautiful flowering trees.. I ask for pics every now and again, and when I talk to them on video, my step mom takes me on a tour of the garden.. My Dad is an avid gardener, and they have tons of all the tropical plants we dream of having.. they grow the miracle berry, and have a few huge bushes.. hopefully, they will either bring or send me some seeds.. Anyhow, I tried growing plumeria that I had bought on an online shop but no luck! I am actually planning to grow papaya plants this May and grow it as an annual, like ricinus, to see if it will get some height.. Papapa leaves are sooo beautiful! I also want to see how tall the plant can get during a growing season.. Cheers. Leesa

Absolutely loving this channel! Just wondering why Washingtonia Robusta doesn't get much mention here or with Yorkshire Chris etc. Is it just a bit less hardy than trachycarpus? I'm based in Dublin so wondering if it's worth a shot. We're about a zone 9.
@GeorgesJungleGarden 20 күн бұрын
Thanks a lot! Yes, you’re right, they’re nowhere near as hardy and you rarely see them in good sizes as a colder winter spell takes them out, even with fleecing etc. Obviously in central London and the south coast etc they stand a better chance so you should too! I guess we’re technically an 8a here which makes all the difference.

Thanks for the laughs George - I needed that! We just completed a 500 square foot heated solarium for all our tropicals that “have to come inside”. It’s a beautiful space, but is turning into a full time job! Of course I’m still emailing nurseries around the world asking if they can ship to Canada and provide a phyto-sanitary certificate. Oh look! A 10 foot tree fern for only $1300! That’s a good deal! I am doomed.

I also stuff my garage to the gills with plants for the short cold snaps we get in panhandle of Florida. I wrapped my bananas like you did for just 3 months of winter

Oh dear, oh dear, I hate to tell you that a score of 200% puts you in a bracket where this affliction is very likely to be terminal and with you to the end now! It is crazy how increasingly available so many of the more niche plants have become over even the last 5 years isn't it. It just takes one especially cold winter again to hit things hard though and that hair will be disappearing again won't it so fingers crossed!

Loved the video, and I am guilty on so many counts! I'm always sneaking new plants into garden! Usually my wife doesn't notice.

I really like the way you present your videos, they are easy to understand, for every level and practical. I use this time of the year to go round supermarkets and garden centres looking for reduced bargain plants, my latest this weekend was 3 x 2m tall bamboo plants priced at £5.00 each.

Thanks a lot Graham, I try my best to make them accessible but hopefully still interesting for people who've been into it for a while. I used to do that a lot too, it's definitely a good time to have a search around for bargains. That sounds like a great price for big bamboo plants, do you know what varieties they are?

You Trachycarpus look like they have been too heavily pruned. More green means more photosynthesis and quicker growth. I don't cut them off till they are mostly brown.
@GeorgesJungleGarden 26 күн бұрын
Hi, yes, you're completely right in that removing leaves with any green on them can slow the plants down and my advice is also to recommend only removing them when they are at least mostly brown. The two closest to the Eucalyptus have always struggled and unfortunately never hold many green leaves but I'm still hopeful for a (slow recovery) but the main reason I cut them all back earlier in autumn was to give more room for the tree fern and to be able to walk past. Usually the Gunnera fills most of this clearing and the lower Trachycarpus leaves are just getting to my head height. Another year or two and I'll be able to leave them on until they're brown and have those fuller crowns again.
