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!
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 🐖🐐
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?
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.
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.
Thank you! Have a look at my garden transformation video.. it shows what it looked like when I moved into the house and the work I have done to it 🌺🌴🌿🦩
beautiful! I personally like my grass longer. Your clover/grass is the most plentiful plant in your garden. Dont cut it all the time and it will be lush!
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.
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. 👍🌾🇬🇧
Amazing!! Although I do not like at all using any word including "inspiration" term, I have to say that you're really an inspiration!! Thank you so much!
😯 wow ur garden looks beautiful I’m also doing a tiki style garden I didn’t realise You could leave your cycas revoluta outside I’ve been fetching mine in every year I have just fetched mine in for winter 😂 well least I know for next year and wow we’re did you get your big tiki from ?
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
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!
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 😊🌿🌴🌺
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.
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)
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🤔
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 🌺🌴
I have new canna lillies so going to mulch them like you are doing, however, mine are in pots. Can I move them to the garage (it has next to no light)? What would you suggest?
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 😊
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.
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!
Wow that’s great to hear! 😊🌺 It’s canna cleopatra 🌿 I think I included all the plant names on my summer garden tour which is in the tropical garden tours playlist 🦜🦩🌴🌺🍍
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? 👍🤗
Hi your tropical garden is lovely, I am aiming to get myself a small patch of tropical garden, so far we have banana Ensete and Musa, canna, colocasia and quite a few more What time of year did you winterize in this video, and what area of the UK are you please, this will help me as a guide. Thanks.
Thank you 🌴🌺 The dates when I filmed the videos are underneath in the description box. I’ll be filming an updated overwintering video soon… Probably one towards the end of September and one in October 🌺🌴 Check out my tropical garden playlist for more recent videos 🌻
Hi hannah, Great video. Was wondering what to do with my newly acquired Banana Masjoo for the winter. Where did you get the Tiki post with the face on it, really love this. Thanks
Thanks! Is your musa basjoo in pot or ground? I just wrap mine up with fleece like you see in the video. Which tiki carving do you mean, I have quite a few ha ha. The wooden ones or concrete?
@@TropicalPlantAddict I have three in the ground in Surrey!! So will follow your tips this winter. With the Tiki post - I meant the one in the centre of your garden with the three ropes and post under the face. Looks great!
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
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 🌿
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?
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 🌴💚🌿🌺
Lovely garden, I’m gonna put my bananas to rest after the first frost, have you tried the elephant ear variety Thailand giant?? It’s a very exotic plant
Hi hannah, another great informative video, I have wrapped my bananas and covered bed's in straw then covered with fleece. I'm worried about watering, do l stop watering until spring. Also do l continue to water my tree fern if so how often have put straw in crown many that lee.
That’s just a standard cordyline Australis. If you take a look at my tropical garden playlist… Some of my videos include all the names of the plants in my garden 🌺🌴
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 😰
Mine were only that size a couple of years ago… I just wrapped them up for the winter. If they are in pots I’d move them to a shed/garage etc until they get a bit bigger... but they could also be left out and wrapped if the pots are frost free 🌿
I just had a look in the original ones I purchased they don’t have anymore, so these were the ones I purchased this year which are slightly smaller… amzn.to/3lqISo1
There isn’t really much else left to do apart from put straw in my tree fern crowns and chop the colocasia pink China. The rest is winter hardy and left as is 🌿
Beautiful garden.
I love that Tiki totem ⭐

🤤🤤🤤🤤 your yard is just an inspiration!! You have given me confidence and knowledge to do this myself!
It’s a garden not a yard.
hah your neighbours cat putting in an appearance , gosh the banan leafs are large...amazing
Lol yes I noticed that when I was editing the video 😆🌿😸
I don’t go south every winter and find looking at wrapped tender plants an eyesore in the winter garden.
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?
Welcome! 🌺🌴 They are still going strong years later, check out my videos from last summer ☀️☀️

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!

I would just wrap it up, keep the fronds. Hopefully it’ll produce a new flush next year 🤞🏻🌿
@@TropicalPlantAddict mornin Hanna thanks for the advice l'll do that 🙂good luck with the over wintering dude👍

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 🌺🌴

Yes the rest are just left as they are 🌿

Do you protect your tree firns?
Is your winter snowy?
I have pineapple plants in my lawn. I couldn't understand, what I will do during snowy winter.
Give me some suggestions.
We get snow some years yes. If you mean bromeliads, I would suggest digging them up and bringing inside for winter
How come you left the colocasia pink China in the ground but dug other ones up?
Colocasia pink China are winter hardy, the esculenta isn’t hardy
What variety of Cordyline is the one growing where the Pink China Colocasia is?
That’s just a standard cordyline Australis. If you take a look at my tropical garden playlist… Some of my videos include all the names of the plants in my garden 🌺🌴

What is the lowest temperatures in the Winter?
Raining
What area are you?

I have a musa basjoo which is only 2 foot tall would u recommend wrapping it or shall I bring it indoor with my red banana
