Today's video is a chat about when I overwinter, winterise or start protecting / digging up / wrapping and bringing in some of my more tender tropical style plants and what I do when winter freezes and hard frosts arrive in my Lincolnshire exotic jungle garden. I go through my 5 stage method, detailing which plants I bring in as the autumn weather gets colder and the weather conditions and temperatures which I look out for so I can ensure my palms, Musa basjoo banana plants, Dicksonia antartica tree ferns and cannas are protected from the worst of the cold. I hope this helps you organise your garden winter preparations and provides an insight to those of you wanting to add more tropical style plants to your UK garden.
