No room for gunnera in our garden but i sometimes feel weeds are so big, with 8 koi in my pond all between 14" and 20" plants in the pond get ripped to shreds except a white waterlilly that is far to vigorous but it provides lots of shade in hot weather.
Once again Tony a massive thank you for your generosity! I shall be having a rare treat- a visit to a pub later in the week (I don’t get out much!!) - I shall spend your tip wisely and tip a glass in your direction my friend!! Best, Ed
@@CrystalClearAquatics Sounds like much needed time away from a busy season Ed. You go and enjoy my friend and we will see you on your next big aquatic adventure, cheers !
Our water bill is up by an extra £30 a month because of this plant I'm not 100% but it's at the edge of my 10000 litre pond and drinks an inch a day in summer. I'm wondering it's a tear but maybe it's this. It's about the size on your video.
Hi there, thanks for watching and commenting and apologies for the slow response. A big specimen like this will be very thirsty and not only is it drinking water from the pond but it will also be wicking water from the pond and making the surrounding soil damp-speeding up evaporation. I wouldn’t be surprised if your increase in water usage is as a result of this! Best, Ed
Loved the photography, looking up inside the plant's canopy. Too big for my garden, but fascinating nonetheless, thank you :-)
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Best regards,

Wow those are like Jurassic turnips LOL. Beautiful leaves and hard to imagine them twice this size. Nice video Ed, keep up the great work my friend!
From now on I shall always refer to gunnera as ‘Jurassic turnips’!!😆

Hey Norman, indeed you need a very big pond/garden to plant a Gunnera manicata! As ever thanks for watching and commenting!

Apesar desta planta ser aqui do Brasil, é extremamente difícil conseguir uma muda dela por aqui.
Thanks for watching and your response- I’m amazed you find it difficult to locate over there!

Ed
