UK Tropical Garden in February After -5°C — What Survived?

After a long spell of freezing temperatures, heavy rain, and lows of -5°C, I’m taking a February walk around the garden to see what’s survived. This is a real mid-winter reality check for hardy tropical and exotic plants growing outdoors in the UK without heavy protection. Some have come through surprisingly well, including Musa basjoo, while others are showing the usual winter wear. In this tour I take a look at: • Unprotected Musa basjoo • The covered arid bed with agave, yucca and hardy cacti • Gunnera emerging from winter dormancy • Tetrapanax and other structural exotics • What cold and prolonged wet actually does to these plants If you grow exotics in a temperate climate, February is when you find out what genuinely earns its place in the garden. 🌱 Subscribe for more updates from my hardy tropical garden in West Yorkshire #ExoticGardening #UKGarden #TropicalPlants #BananasInTheUK #HardyTropicals #ExoticGardenTour #GardeningUK #BananaPlant SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: 🤝 Become a channel member:    / @greatnorthernexotic   😊 Donate via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/great... ☕ Buy me a coffee https://ko-fi.com/greatnorthernexotic Amazon affiliate links may earn me a small commission.
