Best garden I have ever visited

Beautiful garden such inspiration,I'm just starting a tropical garden in a very small garden about 20ft by 30ft triangle wedge shape ,I have my first three plants in huge pots , elephant ear, Fatsia Japonica and a tree fern ,would you suggest I place them at the triangle point as focal point and build around from there .I have Astros turf but want to replace that for either real grass circle in centre or patio or shingle what do u think any advice be grateful Ty .

@tikitropicals65 4 ай бұрын

Hi and thank you. Fatsia and tree ferns do best in shadier locations so take that into consideration where as Elephant Ears which I assume are Colocasias prefer much more sun. My own garden which is shown on my channel has a circular lawn. It’s good to get the shape you want first then plant in the spaces that suit the Best conditions for the individual plants. Cheers

@tikitropicals65 9 ай бұрын

Hi Marcia. I don’t know the measurements but I would say it is very similar to yours. It is about 8-10 metres wide and probably about 50 metres in length. You must be able to grow some truly tropical plants in Brazil. Thank you for watching.

@martynatracz 9 ай бұрын

Superb garden. How did you make Colocasia Esculanta grow that big?

@tikitropicals65 9 ай бұрын

Thank you. With Colocasia first you need to select a variety that grows bigger leaves the during the warmer summer months they need to water and feed well. In the U.K. it helps to start them off in March in a frost free greenhouse to give them a longer growing season.

Hi. No Ensete Ventricosum is the green form of Ensete Maurelii. Simon says his needs to be kept going over winter where he can dry store the Maurelii. The green form is a bit more tender. Hiniba seems to be more like Ensete Montbeliardii I think.

The frustrating thing is where I live in Somerset there are probably only on average 10/15 days a year that would damage most plants like lemons bananas, etc I have had an Oleander in my front garden for 15 years now and my Geraniums survive 9 times out of ten outside even my Begonias survive most years you just can't trust our climate just when you think it's OK we will get a short cold spell. I have probably only seen a half dozen days when snow has lasted more than a day in over 10 years.

@tikitropicals65 3 ай бұрын

Hi. Yes it may be frustrating but it sounds like you have a better climate than most of the U.K so you should be able to grow a wider range of plants than lots of other gardens. The garden in this video has seen many a cold night but has still evolved to look amazing through the summer months. In the UK we just have to learn what we can or can’t get away with and I agree it’s often frustrating. Cheers

@pillred5974 3 ай бұрын

It's great when you grow something that others say oh that won't grow here, I'm constantly surprised by what you can, there are some lovely big palm trees on the front at WSM and I know someone in the village with banana trees that had fruit on them last summer, I'm going to try Bird of paradise this year, wish me luck. @@tikitropicals65

Zone 8 but in the U.K. winters tend to be much wetter and summers don’t usually get very warm compared to the USA. That’s why lots of these plants are quite challenging.
