Thanks for the update. Here even when the sun is out there are very few insects this year.

That's a very good point, not once is the answer! 😟

I wish I knew what was going on, it can't be good for the whole ecosystem.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully its just a blip this year, but it makes you wonder how they will recover.

I'm going to overwinter it under glass in my cold greenhouse (just frost free), hopefully by next year it will have built up a bit more of a woody stem that should give it a bit more of a chance outside in a sheltered position.

@@HeathcroftExoticGarden ahhhh ok, ive not got a greenhouse do you think i should wrap it and pop it in a shed, i so dont want to loose it 🙈

@@djjluvv I would think a shed would be okay, the plant will lose its leaves in the winter just make sure the roots don't freeze if it gets really cold.

Yes I agree its a great size plant for the price.

My pleasure, thanks for watching 👍

Indeed it is a great nursery, they do mail order as well if you are too far away to visit in person. deserttojungle.com/

Thanks

I have both Psudopanax crassifolius and Psudopanax ferox growing near to each other, ferox has the biggest trunk and is about 20 years old, it did not like the move from my previous garden and is not looking well. Crassifolius was also moved and is doing well, I think it's about 12 years old, I lose track , it was confined to a pot for a number of years so this may have effected its growth somewhat. Great plants to grow and always a conversation starter when people visit the garden.

Thanks, I think it looks great now it's in. 🌴

Hopefully we will get some better weather soon ☀

I don't think I have ever known such a slow start to the summer 🌧

Lets hope the summer weather puts in an appearance soon 🌞

Thank you 🌴

Thanks for the info, I had guessed as much but not had it confirmed. Its a great plant for the garden whichever name you buy it under.

Thank you for the great plants 🌴

Your input on the pond is much appreciated, it’s still very new and settling in. Going forward I may well use some of your ideas. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Wow, thanks for those figures I didn’t realise they got that much rain. No wonder I have to give supplementary watering in Norfolk, that is one of the driest areas of the UK!

It's a bit of a headache isn't it. I've got a mister on mine with a timer, but they don't get much from it, it just helps.

Thalia dealbata also known as the Alligator flag quite hardy and can be left in the pond in all but the coldest winters.

@@HeathcroftExoticGarden thanks, it's on my shopping list now 😁

Thank you I'm really pleased with it.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I decided against taking that approach as I did not want to create a sump effect from the surrounding soil. I guess it all depends on what type of soil you garden on.

Thank you

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Thanks for the info, It will be really interesting to see how it copes with lower temperatures. I'm also enjoying the new garden, space to try new interesting plants and finally plant a few that have languished in pots for far too long at my old garden.

She's usually around whilst I'm filming, I will see what I can do 🐾

@@HeathcroftExoticGarden lots of hugs for that cute bully from another jungle garden lover and bully owner

@@parttimeninja5521 Thanks, they're great dogs, Ruby's eleven and a half now and still full of fun and mischief🐾

Thanks, yes some of them are like old friends!

I like to leave as many leaves as possible whilst they are still green, as I believe they power the growth of the palm. It was holding leaves nearly down to the soil level before I moved it but due to cutting the roots when I moved it I removed several to help it re-establish.

Thanks, this last winter was fairly mild and it has now resumed growth so hopefully it's settling in well 🌴

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you.

Thanks, It is a wonderful palm, we are so glad we brought it with us🌴

Thanks, hard work but worth it. 🌴

Thanks I'm looking forward to watching it grow.

Thank you

Yes Butia capitata (now odorata) I will do full video on it and how I moved it from my old garden soon.

Thanks
