- my friend Dave's incredible tropical and hardy tropical garden. What a line up of plants!
I took this video on August 19, 2010.
This is my 1st video with a new HD camcorder- still learning the camera.
Fantastic garden!!!
Gorgeous.
What an absolutely fantastic garden and video! Well done Dave and Joe.
hi Wayne, I'm a bit behind on reading comments, lol. Are you the Wayne I met at Will Giles place in 2010?
WOW just beautiful!!!!! I can watch this video all day long, thanks for sharing 🌱🦋🤤
Have watched your videos so many times and they never get old! So beautiful! Just starting at our new, old house this year. Brought at least 100 plants from the old house and anxious to start here in our forever home. Would love to have our backyard fence look like this!
Very nice. I wish that you would've spoken more about the hardiness of some of those plants, especially the Jack's giant and the dark red lift banana tree. Does he have to dig those and take those in in the winter? Or will mulch suffice to bring them through to the spring?
hi Larry
Dave is zone 7a. the Siam Ruby banana is not hardy. Jack's giant elephant ear is hardy through zone.7 with light mulching and decent drainage in winter.
BocaJoe thank you very much. Do you know if Jack's giant is still surviving after all these years?
I don't know. Dave got rid of almost all of his tropicals several years back. I had the original Jack's giant that we all shared in the md va area. We moved to southern DE in Oct 2015. Jack's giant is thriving here for me in zone 7b in the ground as well as several other Colocasia.
BocaJoe awesome! Glad to hear it. Mind if I ask which other elephant ears you're having success with?
Larry email me @ bocajoe@comcast.net
LOVE THESE TROPICAL VIDS. THANKS JOE!
thank you!
Just caught this terrific video, i live in northern Quebec , this year i had a brugmansia and alocasia and just ordered a giant colocasia for next summer . Do you bring your plants inside for the winter?
wow my gold is to get my garden like yours, lol too bad the plants cost money
How has that Citrumelo fared after all this time? I'm in NOVA too, and I have a South facing all that I am planning right now.
Dave's citrumello died in 2014 with the vortex. He has other hardy citrus that is doing well.
he hauls in quit a bit and tosses most of the annuals though.
He cuts back and brings into his garage and basement for the non hardy stuff.
the annuals get trashed
inside in a mild (55-75) area - very very little water.
