What a lovely garden , fantastic plants. great video

[@Islandgirl4ever2]

Wow!! I loved this video.. Found it while searching for overwintering banana plants.. Thank you.. You inspired me to add on to to a more tropical section that is non existent in my garden.. Will try in the spring.. Cheers!

[@chrisamolkentine]

Great video! For all you gardeners, you can use the leaves of the basjoo, banana for mulch/compost. It’s full of nutrients. Don’t waste the green healthy leaves. Cut them up and place around and over the areas you cut down. You can then cover your exposed stalks with mulch and the garden fabric. 🤓 or if your neighbors have goats or pigs, the leaves are edible and highly nutritious 🐖🐐

[@carlywatts6209]

My favourite tropical garden ever!

[@BenSmart]

Beautiful garden.

[@GardeningCare]

Your garden plants are so beautiful and healthy 👍👌👌🤗🙏🏿🙏🏿❤

[@supermankelly]

We got hail this summer in Essex and gave my Colocassia and Musa a hammering. I have them in 57ltr grow bags so didn't move them in time. Bought a popup greenhouse which I'll put them in over winter.

[@Lulab3ll3]

🤤🤤🤤🤤 your yard is just an inspiration!! You have given me confidence and knowledge to do this myself!

[@sarahmckenzie2882]

[@mirandapanda8228]

Your garden is so inspiring to me. I have ordered a musa basjoo for my garden. I am so excited and feel much more confident in taking good care of it thanks to your video.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Aw thanks! They are super easy to care for and grow very quickly… They give the garden such a tropical look! A must have for sure ☺️🌴🌺

[@thistooshallpass9589]

You are so successful with tropical plants. I’m from Hawai’i and we have a lot gingers. Hedychium and Alpinia varieties mostly. Hedychium white or yellow butterfly ginger has an intoxicating scent. I now live in Southern California and planted a small section of the root and it has spread and bloomed for about two months straight here. I bet it would grow in your garden if you want something to scent the air during the summer. It’s rhisomatic so it spreads quickly. Just a thought.

[@theresafleetwood4962]

Hi I grow a lot of Hedychiums. My favourite hardy tropical. Well it is for me as I live South of Britain on island called isle of Wight. We can get away with growing quite a few tropical semi hardy plants outside. I live a few minutes from a place called Ventnor which has a botanical garden. They have citrus trees growing outside as it is milder weather there. Happy gardening. 👍🌾🇬🇧

It's so helpful to have these videos. You've given me the confidence to try a banana next year! 🍌🌿 They look amazing 💚

Oh your banana leaves are huge. My 2 are five feet now in pots so I've just left top 3 leaves on and brought inside for this year as they're still quite small.

This is such a helpful video. Since moving to the UK, I have really missed the tropical plants I grew up with. I appreciate this video on caring for the banana plant Musa Basjoo. Question, how did they survive after you overwintered them this way?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Welcome! 🌺🌴 They are still going strong years later, check out my videos from last summer ☀️☀️

Beautiful garden! I have quite a few different varieties of banana and palms I grow here near Chicago. They require a lot more insulation though...great job on the garden 👍

Well done Hannah, a good day's work there! You put a lot of us to shame out here, I'm always so impressed at your schedule. Those Banana leaves are just huge. Are you ever tempted to get yourself a little greenhouse? I'm not sure where you'd put it but I'm sure you'd find a place!

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

I’d love one but I don’t have any room left unfortunately. Luckily I only have to bring a few plants inside to dry store for the winter and the rest are just left out 😊🌿🌴🌺

Beautiful garden

[@ShadowNight-kt3dz]

Beautiful! I live in the southern US and we have pretty wet winters. I can grow many tropicals such as bird of paradise, citrus, tropical hibiscus, palms, bottlebrush, elephant ears, angel trumpets, and gingers without protection. I also have a 6+ foot sago in my front garden. However tree ferns never make it for me. I might try the straw around the crown. I live in a USA zone 9 (averages -1C to -6C)

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Yes def add straw to the crown 💚🌿 We don’t have zones here but we do get snow some years and frosts every year

[@laurarangel5026]

So beautiful 😍

Hi Hannah, lovely garden and lovely ornaments.... if don’t mind could you please do a video on how to fix ( make them stand) flamingoes in the garden. Thanks 😊

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

My flamingos have metal legs with feet… I literally just put some stones/slate chippings over the feet to make sure they stay in place 💚🌺🦩

[@kaym1492]

Thanks Hannah for your lovely reply 💕

[@naumikaur7459]

Thank you for an informative video. You have a beutiful garden. May I ask did the water-retention wood-chips used disintegrate to feed the soil or are they more permanent. How long did it take to disappear please? Thanks

[@keyurpadalia]

I really like the arrangement and selection of the plants in your garden, can you please share the plant/tree names in your garden layout, please?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thank you! Take a look at my more recent videos… If you have a look in my tropical garden playlist theres a video from last summer where it shows all the different plants and the names 🌺🌴

[@marcopaganelli6059]

Despite you chopped almost evrything your garden still looks beautiful and lushly tropical 😊 I would love to to ask you if the tovel you put on the stems of the musa basjio allow the stems to breath or if it is impermeable to water and air.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Yes it allows them to breathe and let’s light through whilst keeping them insulated 🌿

[@Dzjiefoils]

What do you do with the big spiky thing. Is it a Cordyline? You don’t need to cover those? We have an almost identical garden here in the Netherlands!

[@tomedwards5132]

Thank you for posting these videos. Very informative and helpful. I love the round posts covered with rope. Please could you tell me tell me where I could get the poles from? 👍🤗

[@luisg1653]

Seeing you in your garden gives a much better idea of how big your plants are, they're all doing so well. Your videos helped convince my wife to go tropical in your yard, now she loves it. What is the name of the canna at 6:43 again? We have several others but we need that one. Thanks!

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Hi Hanna, pretty much done everything you have regarding wrapping up just the cannas to do,but l do have one question my cycad is in a pot and about the same size as yours but the leaves are quite a insipid yellow colour any thoughts🤔

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

I would just wrap it up, keep the fronds. Hopefully it’ll produce a new flush next year 🤞🏻🌿

Beautiful garden to see. I wondered do you keep changing your plants or they stay there permanently?

They all seat outside apart from the ones I dug up on part 1 🌺🌴

[@fitzeireann]

Hi, just subscribed to your channel, your garden is such a beautiful tropical paradise 😀🌴🌾🌷🌼🌻🏵 Did you buy your palms and tree ferns when they were already established or have your grown them to the size they are?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thanks and welcome! Yes I bought them established, I only renovated the garden 3 years ago. Tree Ferns only grow a few inches a year so best to buy them established. The palms and cordylines have grown quite a bit over that time 🌴💚🌿🌺

Hello, love your garden & your great channel. Quick question, I’m fleecing my musa but just wondered if I need to do anything else other than fleece to keep it dry? Does it matter if it gets wet from rain/ snow? Many thanks, Ryan

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

No just cut the leaves off and wrap it in horticultural fleece, I mulch around the bottom of mine as well. My video will be up next week showing how I do so 🌿

[@gloriagladrags1532]

Thanks.

What are the temperatures that you experience during your winter? Just asking because I think I’d maybe be ok doing the same thing you did, but tbh I usually bring stuff inside because I’m so scared that mulching won’t be enough 😰

The temps really vary here in the uk. Some winters we get snow but not every year. We always get frosty nights/mornings though 🥶
