Hey George, thanks for making this video of my garden. It's interesting to see it through someone else's eyes. Your photography skills are next level and make everything look lush. I don't think to 3m tall gardeners have ever been caught on film together so it's a KZfaq first! 🤣😂 I'll have to return the favour sometime and visit your garden....

Hi, a lot of palms don’t mind getting their roots down into clay, they definitely generally prefer the richer soil and source of moisture to a an incredibly dry or sandy spot. The only thing I would say is that the spot doesn’t want to be waterlogged in winter here in the U.K. so I try to plant mine in banks or mounds to get the best of both worlds.
