@finnkel There is a dracaena limelight in a pot, is that the one you mean.

​@@jimspalmsuk5098The plant just behind the dracaena, right against the fence

@xenu-dark-tony I don't heat the greenhouse, it would cost a small fortune. I just keep it frost free. The heat only come on 3 times over winter, so didn't notice any increase in my fuel bill.

@vincenzecalzone8666 They don't hold up as well as the superstar. They do look good if we get a decent summer and out grow the winter damage.

@TropicalJungleIreland yes I have Charlie boy and southen splendour and would say are similar hardiness.

@@vincenzecalzone8666 my thoughts exactly 👍

@@tropicsinworcestershire I love seeing others tropical gardens, I'll definitely give them a look👍

@@jimspalmsuk5098 👍🏻

@@tropicsinworcestershire That garden is something else, lovely pond and some really nice palms 👍

@@jimspalmsuk5098 many thanks Jim Really appreciate your comments I look forward to seeing your next video Ps if you ever have any Persian shield cuttings I would love to buy from you as unfortunately we lost ours last year and they are very hard to come by. Ok forward to your next video

@@tropicsinworcestershire Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to take some cuttings 👍

@estherterrier6400 They can be split by washing off soil and carefully untangling the roots. The odd one might die, but I've had good success dividing washingtonia 👍

@daphneking3954 Hard work but well worth it 👍

@bloggalot4718 I do find kept dry, cold but frost free they should survive. But it does take a few years to get some sort of hardiness. The one's I have in the ground have survived -7c for several nights. They are one of the first and fastest palms to bounce back after winter 👍

@@jimspalmsuk5098 I have kept them dry in the winter but they eventually succumb. I have one left out of four which is just starting to put out a new leaf. I will keep my fingers crossed this winter.

@@bloggalot4718 Good luck

@ellerby83 You are right, there not reliably hardy. There's a lot of mixed opinions. I will be very cautious where and when I plant in out.

@@user-oz5ip9nr2w They will have some mitis ready at jungle in a box soon. If you email them, they will let you know when they'll be ready 👍

@tropicalpdx1341 Regards to the tropical storm, probably why they not seen much in the uk . Slow growth rates and rubbish weather , not a good combination. I really looking forward to seeing the brassaiopsis grow .

So I actually looked up the Tropical Storm Colocasia and they only grow 18-24” tall and wide. That explains it. I guess I should have read the descriptions more carefully when I order online. 😂

@tropicalpdx1341 yeah I have a bad habit of buying plants first and researching after.

@David_Banner your right, at very least they should have a large warning sticker or tag on them.

@@jimspalmsuk5098 We all make mistakes and should learn from them. But sometime a little information and guidance goes a long way.

@wendymitchell4004 I may well keep a chunk and pot, just incase I need some movable high.

@@johnmerchant8981 My thoughts exactly 👍

@jangrodzicki2855 Thanks I'm still thinking about filling the space. Really not sure yet, bamboo is not a plant I paticularly like but it does serve a purpose. I may use it in a large pot to give hight and screen the shed 🤔

@jimspalmsuk5098 Then check Podocarpus species mentioned above, especially South African Podocarpus henkelii. Those are tough shrubs/trees (depends how you prune it), resistant to all sorts of conditions, it can imitate bamboo. In my opinion they are underrated by people interested in exotic gardening.

@jangrodzicki2855 Thanks I'll look into that 👍

@waynemapledoram Tha is for the information, it's hard craft digging it out but worth it for the peace of mind 👍

@@steverichardson4374 I'll probably do a few videos on this over the next week. It's going to take a while to get rid of all of it.

@jasonspalmparadise I've cut it all back today. Tomorrow I'll attempt to pull the roots out. Wish me luck 🙏

@Plant_Mad_Paul The wife doesn't mind a bit of work, she always helps me out. 👍

@@TropicalJungleIreland They are OK, I'll do an update video on them 👍

Lovely. Id like to get them but wasn't to sure on hardness​@@jimspalmsuk5098

@craignorthern9480 All I do is wrap the stem , fleece or bouble wrap works.

@@jimspalmsuk5098 so treat it the same as musa basjoo. Thanks 👍

@@craignorthern9480 Pretty much, not quite so hardy.

@@jimspalmsuk5098 thanks 👍

@kateeveritt3292 Yes I'm in Suffolk, we got down to - 5c but only for 2 nights. And had + temperatures day times. If it was -5 for a week they would be dead. It's more about duration of the cold. I would say -8c would probably will a sago, or at least defoliate.

Hi Jim , we like your channel. Another question about Sago palms. I’ve order a young one and it’s arriving sometime next week. We’re in Victoria , British Columbia ,Canada ( the west coast ,Pacific Ocean) . Surprisingly we’re area 9A hardiness . Would it be a good idea just to keep it in the pot for now to be able to take it inside for the winter ?

@alexandredelahaye It would be easier to keep in a pot for the first couple of years . I always consider The probability that when buying a new plant there probably been green house grow and never seen full winter conditions. Find your best microclimate and leave it there , you'll want to bring it in if you get a prolonged freeze or anything below -4c.

@@jimspalmsuk5098 thanks Jim, I checked my sago palm this morning and was thrilled to see it’s sprouting from the centre !

@@kateeveritt3292 Nice 😀

@albey1816 That's the uk for you, it's all about tracking plant movement and reducing pests and diseases. And you have the pleasure of being charged for it, what a rip off.

@@peterarmstrong3298 First time for me, definitely not the last time 👍

@Puddlesmolly yeah I'm really pleased with all the plants, would definitely recommend. And the prices are great at the moment 👍

@gordonissocoollike I'm really enjoying the shade corner, now I can see in there 😃

@thegreenthumb6184 yes I have 3 planted out and all survived winter 👍

@christineroberts9780 yes I'm in the uk and it rains a lot here. 👍

@craignorthern9480 It was from eastern tropicals, very well packaged and very fast delivery.

@@jimspalmsuk5098 OK thanks. I love it

@richardfrais_backyard_projects Unfortunately not it's a true tropical

@WillEberli I'm glad to hear some are getting a good summer. Here in the uk we never seem to get the weather right. Last year cool and wet, this year the same 2022 was hot and bo rain for 3 months. Maybe next year 🤞

@@WillEberli we always get mild winters (at least comparing to most part of USA ) BUT also mild summers 😓

Plus I do love that tender blue agave, just pings in the sun.

@Plant_Mad_Paul It's been frustrating this year but there's always hope . Maybe the weather will change and things will actually grow 🤞

@@Plant_Mad_Paul yeah I love it too

@@fansaaga4033 I feel your pain 😢

Ive had no other choice than to resort to the blue pellets this year or else i’ve no leaves left on my hostas, i think its the amount of rain were getting here in the uk that’s getting the slugs all fired up.

@@BordsCycles I now grow more palms and hard plant that slugs can’t bite into. And also at night I go out with scissors and chop em all into half. There now a tons of those big red Spanish ones some are 10cm. Some times I want to burn everything down when I see 10 slugs on a single leave like hole punchers

@ryanacar3773 livinstona is doing OK just needs a bit of summer heat. I do have a Raphael in the ground and it's doing well. I'll give them a look in my next video 👍

⁠@@jimspalmsuk5098thx a lot. I’m doing a plant hunt in Hong Kong a bunch of palms naturalised here and seeds from palms drop and grows everywhere ( p. Robellenii , L . chinenses , Raphis syagrus……). I’ll bring some seeds back and try to grow them.

@@fansaaga4033 I would do the same 👍

A lot of colocasia are tougher than you think. Quite often the runners/pups will survive when the main bulb rots out. Good to hear you have some coming back 👍
